Public Administration of Information Resources: Organizational and Legal Aspects

Abstract

This topic is very important in our time, because success in the information age depends on the expansion of the integration of information and communication technologies into society. Processes and changes related to the formation of the information society, of course, dramatically increase the social significance and role of information relations and information activities, which, in turn, causes a significant increase in the scope of legal regulation in this area. That is why this article is devoted to the analysis of state management information resources.

The article deals with approaches to the definition of "state information policy". It was clarified that the specially authorized central executive authority on the organization of special communication and information protection is the Administration of the State Service for Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine. The main tasks and functions of the State Agency for E-Governance of Ukraine which implements state policy in the areas of informatization and e-governance were also analyzed. The main directions of the state information policy at the present stage of development of the state are determined. We believe that this list which is enshrined in the Law of Ukraine "On Information" should be supplemented to optimize the administrative legislation.

The article analyzes the legislative framework for regulation of information resources. The legal framework of this sphere should include the Law of Ukraine "On Information", the Law of Ukraine "On the National Program of Informatization", the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine Resolution "On Approval of the Strategy for the Development of the Information Society in Ukraine", the Law of Ukraine "On the State Service for Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine", etc.

It was concluded that in Ukraine are formulated and legislatively fixed the basic principles of the state information policy. Nevertheless it is necessary to promote the formation of the market of information resources, services, information systems and technologies, means of their provision as well as to assist the state in the creation and development of an open information society.
