INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICE METHODOLOGY  
FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF INNOVATIVE HROMADAS: 

GENERAL IDEA AND EXAMPLE  
OF SMART CITY INFRASTRUCTURE

Vitaliy Omelyanenko1, Olena Omelianenko2

Abstract. The purpose of the study is the development of analytical tools and organizational and economic 
mechanisms for the post-war restoration of sustainable development of territories based on the infrastructural  
and service methodology of the development of innovative hromadas as a basis for ensuring the well-being  
of local hromadas to avoid the social, environmental and economic problems of war and their approval within 
the framework of pilot infrastructural and service projects. Methodology. The research is based on the approach  
of R. Jochimsen, who, in one of the first system descriptions, defined infrastructure as a set of material  
(production), institutional and individual conditions available to economic agents, which condition integration 
and the maximum level of economic activity. It is also worth considering the idea that the main differences of 
the neo-industrial paradigm of local hromada development lie in competent participation based on self- 
organization, multisubjectivity and decentralization of social relations based on cooperation and communicative 
equality, and the orientation of society towards the realization of human potential. Innovative hromadas 
correspond to these trends and provide an effective solution to the primary task of the service-oriented system, 
which consists in the development of a service policy capable of ensuring the inclusion of existing resources 
and functional potential of territories to ensure dynamic, balanced, complex socio-economic development.  
The infrastructure-service approach includes the maximum satisfaction of human needs and desires, as well  
as the creation of working and living conditions, and aims to meet the needs of the hromada by attracting and 
retaining human resources through the development of services and infrastructure. Practical implications.  
The results of the research have applied socio-economic significance and are aimed at solving the important  
problem of post-war restoration of sustainable development of territories through the design of service 
provision and use of resource potential of local innovative hromadas. The main result of the application of the 
developed methodology is the scientific substantiation of the organizational and economic support for the post-
war restoration of the sustainable development of territories based on the infrastructure-service methodology  
of the development of innovative hromadas and the development of the corresponding analytical toolkit, which  
will allow its adaptive use within the framework of intelligent specialization. Scientific and methodological  
approaches will be developed to determine the role of infrastructure and service clusters for the well-being of 
hromadas, based on a consideration of their impact on human capital and its components. Value/originality.

1. Introduction
In the conditions of decentralization and  

transition to new principles of management, the 
issue of sustainable development of hromadas 
is a relevant and important direction of 
interdisciplinary research. It is necessary to note 
that in connection with the military actions in 
the hromadas of a number of regions, cardinal 
economic and social changes are taking place, 
which quite often have the character of socio-
economic instability.

The purpose of the study is the development  
of analytical tools and organizational and  
economic mechanisms for the post-war  
restoration of sustainable development of 
territories based on the infrastructural and  
service methodology of the development of 
innovative hromadas as a basis for ensuring the 
well-being of local hromadas to avoid the social, 
environmental and economic problems of war 
and their approval within the framework of pilot 
infrastructural and service projects.

The results of the research have applied socio-
economic significance and are aimed at solving 
the important problem of post-war restoration of 
sustainable development of territories through 
the design of service provision and use of  
resource potential of local innovative hromadas.

2. Literature review
A number of studies by domestic and foreign 

scientists consider the role of the innovation  
factor in the development of regions and local 
hromadas.

In particular, the study (Tödtling, Trippl, 2018) 
is devoted to the development of a management 
methodology for "new paths of regional growth", 
which should take into account the local  
context. The authors (Frangenheim, Trippl, 
Chlebna, 2020) determine the prospects of  
regional structural changes and develop the basis 
for the analysis of the dynamic interdependence 
of new regional growth paths. The study (Martin, 
Simmie, 2008) examines the local innovation 
system in combination with the ability to absorb 
new knowledge. The study (Hansen, 2013) 
examines the development of regional innovation 
systems in the context of the search for their 
foundations.

Thus, the paper (Domanski, Howaldt, Kaletka, 
2020) considers social innovation as a factor in 

successfully solving social, economic, political  
and environmental challenges at the local and 
regional level. 

The authors (Grillitsch, Martin, Srholec, 
2017) consider the combination of the most 
favorable innovations at the firm level, taking into  
account the impact of the knowledge base  
available in the region.

The study (Asheim, Grillitsch, Tripple, 2017) 
points to the role of economic geography 
in providing a better understanding of the  
mechanism of economic growth and development 
in different sectors and regions, as well as  
a better understanding of the consistent 
heterogeneity of regional outcomes. These 
approaches and ideas can be the basis for a large- 
scale approach to innovation policy and the  
active role of government in stimulating new 
combinations of differentiated innovations. 
At the same time, the analysis of these studies  
makes it possible to conclude that they are  
focused on developed countries, but in the 
conditions of Ukraine, innovation policy should  
be focused primarily on overcoming numerous 
crisis processes.

In this regard, it is worth noting the work 
(Yevsyukova, 2018), which considers the well-
being factor and states that human capital is 
determined by natural genetic characteristics, 
developed by education and general education, 
and its success (competitiveness) depends on 
ecological, economic and material well-being, 
economic and legal institutional conditions, 
adequate stimulation and the level of a specific 
qualification, which constitute a socio-ecological-
economic system in a relative current equilibrium. 
In the work (Tarkhov, Derkach, 2013) it is 
noted that human capital includes health capital, 
cognitive and creative capital, entrepreneurial 
capital, qualification capital. 

The study (Mokii, Pavlikha, Naumenko, Datsko, 
2018) presented a scientific and theoretical 
justification for institutional support of  
innovative regional development, which  
should be based on the idea of a hromada as  
a social system.

At the same time, little is known about the 
innovative profiles of different infrastructure 
sectors of the economy and the nature of their 
innovative activities, and a targeted approach to 
defining service design and the methodology of  
its implementation has not yet been developed.

3. Methodology
The research is based on the approach of 

R . Jochimsen ( Jochimsen R . Theorie der 
Infrastruktur), who in one of the first system 
descriptions defined infrastructure as a set of 
material (production), institutional, individual 
conditions available to economic agents, which 
condition integration and the maximum level of 
economic activity.

From an applied point of view, for the purposes  
of research in the context of post-war 
reconstruction, the approach of the experts  
of the Institute of Infrastructure Policy will 
be adapted, in the framework of which vital 
infrastructure is defined as systems, networks, 
objects, resources (both physical and virtual or 
information), services, which are of such great 
importance that their destruction, damage or 
disabling will lead to the most serious negative 
consequences for the life of a person, society  
and the state, socio-economic development  
of the country, defense capability of the state  
and ensuring national security.

It is also worth considering the idea that the 
main differences of the neo-industrial paradigm 
of the development of local hromadas lie in 
the competent participation based on self- 
organization, multi-subjectivity and decentra-
lization of social relations based on cooperation 
and communicative equality, and the orientation  
of society towards the realization of human 
potential. The innovative hromadas correspond  
to these trends and provide an effective solution 
to the primary task of the service-oriented  
system, which consists in the development 
of a service policy capable of ensuring the 
inclusion of the existing resources and  
functional potential of the territories, in order  
to guarantee a dynamic, balanced and complex 
socio-economic development.

The infrastructure-service approach includes 
the maximum satisfaction of human needs and 
desires, as well as the creation of working and 
living conditions, and aims to meet the needs of 
the hromada by attracting and retaining human 
resources through the development of services  
and infrastructure.

Therefore, it is advisable to focus on the  
adaptation of the management of the development 
of innovative hromadas to the problems of 
sustainable development as such, which opens 
opportunities for the study of promising 

organizational and economic mechanisms of 
service-oriented management, based on the 
assessment of the impact of changes in the state  
as a result of military operations in the economic  
space and its effects on the quality of life, vital  
space and human capital.

It is important to take into account the ideas  
and methodology of the geography of innovation, 
which combines the methods of economic 
geography, regional economy and innovation 
and examines the spatial patterns of creation, 
implementation and distribution of new ideas, 
technologies, products, as well as the impact of 
these processes on regional (local) development. 
From these points of view, the infrastructure-
service approach is relevant because it is based 
on the potential of territories and aims at a more 
intensive use of their capabilities.

4. Main material
The research is based on the infrastructure 

and service methodology of the development 
of innovative hromadas, which implies the 
understanding that innovations include not 
only technological changes, but also changes in 
organizational, labor and social practices as such, 
which can potentially affect the well-being of the 
human capital of hromadas.

Service modeling involves the description of 
all processes in hromadas of different typologies  
in order to take these processes into account  
during design.

Infrastructure and service design is a process  
of organizing space in such a way that the  
interaction of economic agents within innovative 
hromadas takes place as smoothly and efficiently 
as possible. In this context of the project, service 
innovation at the local level is considered as an 
integration set of basic factors of standard of 
living, socio-economic conditions, characteristics 
of innovative business units, innovative 
infrastructure, cluster and network connections.

For the development of infrastructure at the  
local level, it is necessary to use the existing  
potential of the hromada as much as possible, 
which can be done most effectively through the 
development of innovative hromadas.

Development at the regional level should be  
carried out through a combination of smart 
specialization strategies and sustainable 
development tasks. Based on the understanding 
of the impact of military operations on 



Three Seas Economic Journal

52

sustainable development goals, the project uses 
a methodological approach to determine the loss 
of human capital and ensure the environmental 
and economic well-being of hromadas based 
on consideration of their role for human capital 
and its components (health capital; cognitive 
and creative capital; capital of entrepreneurial  
abilities; qualification capital).

For the implementation of pilot infrastructure 
and service projects, it is proposed to use the  
toolkit of sub-outsourcing cooperation, which is 
based on the implementation of the principle of 
commercial partnership and can manifest itself 
in the form of support for various areas of 
commercial support, sectoral support of a single 
project, distribution of service flows between 
outsourcing partners, integration of joint  
resources to solve a single task, which can ensure 
the use of the potential of innovative hromadas.

Experts from the INSEAD business school  
note that the government of Ukraine during the 
recovery "should work for the people, and the 
corresponding infrastructure (housing, transport, 
hospitals, schools) should be a priority ". The 
EU's strategic plan for post-war reconstruction 
of Ukraine, "Rebuilding Ukraine", notes the 
important role of the infrastructure factor, which 
should be restored according to the principle 
of "doing better than it was". The draft recovery 
plan of the Government of Ukraine provides for 
the reconstruction of the entire infrastructure, 
including medical and educational facilities, as 
well as strategic enterprises that were destroyed  
or partially damaged.

The analysis of the results of the survey  
conducted by the Razumkov Center in 2021  
among the representatives of local self- 
government bodies on the principles, conditions 
and feasibility of implementation of intelligent 
infrastructure in the cities of Ukraine makes it 
possible to note that even before the military 
operations, the highest priority was the expansion  
of services for city residents in the field of health 
care, social security, education, transportation, 
housing and public services, etc. It is worth 
mentioning a number of initiatives, for example, 
the program of the President's Office "New  
Village", according to which 1,600 infrastructure 
projects are planned to be implemented in 
a new format of interaction between the state,  
local authorities, business and the hromada on  
the basis of private-state partnership.

The role of the infrastructural factor can be 
confirmed by the norms of the Law of Ukraine 
"On National Security of Ukraine", which 
defines that the fundamental national interests of  
Ukraine include the sustainable development  
of the national economy, civil society and the  
state to ensure the growth of the level and 
quality of life of the population by ensuring 
the security of vital for society and persons  
of interest.

UNDP experts in Ukraine also presented  
a project aimed at supporting pilot territorial 
hromadas in issues of updating local development 
strategies and approval of the monitoring and 
evaluation tool in the conditions of post-war 
reconstruction and development. From these 
positions, the proposed study is relevant and 
aimed at solving the important task of post-war 
reconstruction.

Thus, compared to existing analogues, the 
proposed approach is systemic, takes into  
account the specificities of innovative activity  
and covers the whole range of tasks for the 
management of infrastructure and service factors 
of sustainable development.

5. Smart city case 
Despite the significant potential of the  

proposed methodology, the question of its  
practical implementation arises. One of the  
options for solving this problem is related to the 
creation of an area with a high concentration  
of human capital and innovation – smart cities.

Smart cities are based on a combination of  
human capital (skilled workforce), infrastructure 
capital (e.g., high-tech communications), 
social capital (such as an intensive and open 
communications network), and entrepreneurial 
capital (for example, creative and entrepreneurial 
activities).

A smart city is a city built on the principles of 
sustainable development, a city where modern 
technologies are used for more efficient and 
sustainable management, a city with a high quality 
of life that contributes to the development of its 
human capital.

Smart cities are high quality of life 
cities that strive for sustainable economic 
development through investment in human 
and social capital, traditional and modern IT 
infrastructure, and participatory natural resource  
management.

Smart cities are about using digitalization to 
create future-ready, self-optimizing, sustainable 
urban hromadas where people want to live, 
work, and learn. They provide an environment 
that improves the lives of everyone: residents, 
businesses, students and faculty, and visitors.  
At the same time, a smart city is efficient, 
resilient, and minimizes environmental  
impact.

Smart technologies offer a wide range of  
solutions for reformatting the infrastructure of 
cities with new approaches to energy supply, 
mobility development and the urban economy in 
general, in order to reduce emissions by ensuring 
an appropriate level of energy efficiency and 
decarbonization of energy supply.

Main components of Smart infrastructure are 
shown in Table 1.

Table 1
Main components of Smart infrastructure
(Commission on Science and Technology for Development, 2016)

Smart infrastructure 
component

Main idea Practical implications

Smart buildings Smart buildings intelligently integrate 
the various physical systems present to 
ensure that all systems work together in 

an optimized and efficient manner.

Intelligent building management systems can improve 
a building's energy efficiency, reduce waste, and ensure 

optimal water use, while increasing operational efficiency 
and resident satisfaction.

Smart mobility Smart mobility is best described as 
approaches that reduce congestion and 

promote faster, greener, and cheaper 
transportation options. Most smart 
mobility systems use data collected 

from a variety of sources about mobility 
patterns to help optimize traffic 

conditions in a holistic way.

Intelligent mobility systems include mass transit systems as 
well as individual mobility systems that include bike sharing, 

ride sharing (or carpooling), vehicle sharing, and more 
recently, on-demand transportation.

Smart energy Smart energy management systems use 
sensors, advanced meters, renewable 
energy sources, digital controls, and 

analytical tools to automate, monitor, 
and optimize the distribution and use 
of energy. Such systems optimize grid 

operations and usage by balancing 
the needs of the various stakeholders 
involved (consumers, producers, and 

providers).

There are a number of smart energy infrastructure 
innovations, such as distributed renewable generation, 

microgrids, smart grid technologies, energy storage, 
automated demand response, virtual power plants, and 

demand-side innovations such as electric vehicles and smart 
appliances. Such innovations provide an extended network 
of smart energy devices across a city, with a detailed view of 
energy consumption patterns, enabling community-based 

energy monitoring programs and improving the energy 
efficiency of buildings.

Smart water Cities are constantly trying to solve 
water scarcity problems with innovative 

technologies and better water 
management. Improved metering and 

flow management are key to a good 
water distribution system.

A smart water management system uses digital technology to 
help conserve water, reduce costs, and increase the reliability 

and visibility of water distribution. Physical pipe networks 
are overlaid with data and information networks. The system 
typically analyzes available flow and pressure data to identify 
anomalies (such as leaks) in real time to better manage water 
flow. Customers can be provided with real-time information 

on the water situation and relevant information to help 
conserve water, resulting in lower water bills.

Smart waste 
management

Waste generation is growing faster 
than urbanization. Cities are finding it 

increasingly difficult to source, separate, 
and utilize different types of waste 

that can potentially be returned to a 
consumer's life cycle.

Waste management typically involves the monitoring, 
collection, transportation, processing, recycling, and 

disposal of waste. Intelligent waste management systems 
reduce waste, categorize the type of waste at the source, 

and develop methods for proper waste management. Such 
systems can be used to turn waste into a resource and 

create closed-loop economies. Their primary benefits lie in 
improving the efficiency of waste collection, segregation, 

separation, reuse and recycling.

Smart infrastructure 
component

Main idea Practical implications

Smart health The health and well-being of urban 
populations is of particular concern for 

the sustainability of urban areas and their 
supporting ecosystems. Smart cities can 
develop the capacity to use technologies 
such as big data to develop predictions 

or identify hotspots of population 
health (such as epidemics or health 

impacts during extreme weather events). 
Smart health management transforms 

health-related data into clinical and 
business insights, including digital health 

records, home health services, and 
remote diagnosis, treatment, and patient 
monitoring systems. It also facilitates the 
delivery of healthcare through intelligent 

and connected technologies that help 
monitor the health of citizens. It enables 
a shift in focus to prevention rather than 

cure, with a broader view of total care, 
healthy living and wellness management. 
Smart health systems have great potential 

in the aging societies of developed 
countries and can reduce inequalities 
in health care between high- and low-

income groups.

Examples of smart health approaches include crowdsourcing 
to collect data on epidemics and predict outbreaks and take 
necessary precautions, remotely collecting patient vital signs 
and data for diagnostic purposes, and setting up automated 
alerts for patients regarding medications and health check-

ups. In Africa, for example, the Medic Mobile project in 
rural areas uses locally available mobile technology to help 

health workers report symptoms to the nearest clinic, receive 
treatment advice and emergency referrals, and provide 

information on the prevalence of disease burden in a village 
or hromada.

Smart digital layers Smart digital infrastructure helps 
to better understand and control 

operations and optimize the use of 
limited resources in a city. One of the 

key value propositions of ICT in a smart 
city is the ability to collect and share 

information in a timely manner. When 
information is provided in real time and 

is accurate, cities can potentially take 
action before a problem escalates.

One way to think about digital infrastructure is in terms of 
different supporting digital layers, as follows:

(a) Urban: The layer where physical and digital 
infrastructure meet. Examples include smart buildings, smart 

mobility, smart grids (for utilities such as water, electricity, 
and gas), and smart waste management systems.

(b) Sensor: This layer includes smart devices that measure 
and monitor various parameters of the city and its 

environment.
(c) Connectivity: This layer includes the transport of data 
and information from the sensor level to storage and data 

aggregators for further analysis.
(d) Data analysis: This layer involves the analysis of data 
collected by various smart infrastructure systems to help 

predict certain events (such as traffic congestion).
(e) Automation: The digital interface layer that enables 

automation and scalability for a large number of devices 
across multiple domains and verticals.

(End of Table 1)

6. Practical implications
The results of the research have applied socio-

economic significance and are aimed at solving 
the important problem of post-war restoration of 
sustainable development of territories through 
the design of service provision and use of resource 
potential of local innovative hromadas.

The scientific and methodological bases 
of building innovative hromadas within the 
framework of the concept of sustainable 
development can be used to solve the strategic 
planning of infrastructural development  
of regions in the context of neo-industrial 
modernization.



Three Seas Economic Journal

Vol. 4 No. 1, 2023

The results of the project also have 
a distant socio-economic impact, which consists 
in the effort to solve the national and global  
problem of maintaining and strengthening the 
well-being of hromadas, especially the health  
of the population, preventing the loss of  
human capital due to the influence of the  
military factor.

On the basis of the developed methodology, 
it is possible to develop proposals for the 
management of resources for the development  
of territories from the point of view of the 
formation of an infrastructure and service 
base (1) for the development of production  
(financing of innovative infrastructure projects 
of industrial parks, formation of "growth 
points of Industry 4. 0", clusters, development 
of financial infrastructure (leasing));  
(2) innovation – for financing innovative  
projects for creation of innovative infrastructure: 
business incubators, IT industry sector, R&D  
in medium-term priority scientific and 
technical areas of regional development; (3) 
social development – for implementation of  
innovative projects in the field of education,  
health care, modernization of housing and 
communal services, recreation.

7. Conclusions
The main result of the application of the  

developed methodology is the scientific 
substantiation of the organizational and  
economic support for the post-war restoration  
of the sustainable development of territories 
based on the infrastructure-service methodology 
of the development of innovative hromadas 
and the development of the corresponding  
analytical toolkit, which will allow its 
adaptive use within the framework of smart  
specialization. Scientific and methodological 
approaches will be developed to determine the  
role of infrastructure and service clusters for 
the well-being of hromadas, based on the 
consideration of their impact on human capital  
and its components (health capital; cognitive-
creative capital; entrepreneurial skills capital; 
qualification capital).

Based on the definition of the problems  
of human capital formation, it is possible to  
develop a scientific and methodological  
approach to determine the optimal scenario for 
the formation of public-private partnerships in 

the context of scenarios for the development of 
infrastructure-service clusters and a platform 
approach to the accumulation of social capital 
in innovative hromadas, and their experimental 
approval was carried out.

According to the results of the review of the  
best world experiences and in order to improve  
the development of smart specialization  
strategies, it is possible to prepare practical 
recommendations for the adaptive development 
of service (soft) infrastructure in hromadas in 
the context of post-war recovery (e-commerce 
and e-business infrastructure (e-contracting, 
e-invoicing, e-logistics); life support infra- 
structure (digital medical, educational, transport, 
logistics and other systems, public safety  
systems); geo-information infrastructure (linking 
digital data to spatial objects); industrial digital 
infrastructure (Industry 4.0).

An important result will be the theoretical and 
methodological foundations of the analytical 
approach to justify the choice of infrastructure 
and service elements to ensure the well-being 
of hromadas, based on the identification  
of the main social, environmental and economic 
problems that have arisen as a result of military 
operations.

On the basis of the research results, appropriate 
spatial planning tools, infrastructure trends, new 
services, and human-centered methodologies 
 and approaches to the design of technical  
and social solutions in modern cities will be 
identified.

The research will develop pilot infrastructure 
and service projects and identify appropriate 
infrastructure and service clusters for  
their implementation. The specified projects  
will be based on the key principles of the service 
economy (the principle of customer relations 
between citizens and authorities, the principle of 
competitiveness of public services, the principle 
of independent assessment of the quality of 
public services, the principle of optimization 
of the technological chain of public services) 
and will be oriented to the key tasks of post-war 
reconstruction. Key aspects of infrastructure and 
service design will be identified for each project 
developed: responsiveness to needs (latent or 
explicit); high value to the consumer: provision 
of a new service, benefit or function or its  
provision in an improved form; quality of  
provision of a new service; technological synergy.
