Goal. The purpose of the study was to search for alternative sources of information on popu-lation’s preferences and response to problems and changes in the urban environment for use in the operational decision-making at situational centers. Materials and methods. The authors used data from search queries with keywords, data on communities in social networks, data from subject forums, and official statistics. Methods of statistical data analysis were applied. Results. The analysis of thematic online activity of the population was performed. The re-sults reflected the interest in the state of the environment, the possibility of distance learning and work, are presented. It was reasoned that measurements of population’s thematic online activity let identify needs and analyze the real-time response to changes in the urban envi-ronment. Such an approach to identifying the needs of the population can be used in addition to the platforms “Active Citizen” of the Smart City project. Conclusions. An analysis of data on online activity of the population for decision-making at situational centers is more operational, flexible and representative, as compared with the use of tools of those platforms. Such an analysis can be used as an alternative to sociological surveys, as it saves time and money. When making management decisions using intelligent information services, it is necessary to take into account the needs of the population, reflect-ed in its socio-economic activity in cyberspace.

Old age is not of itself a pure neurological ‘problem’, pathology or statement of need. ‘Older people’ or an ‘aging population’ are not a homogeneous group and categorisation as a distinct service user group is, arguably, contentious. Furthermore, since the advent of personalisation in the UK for, conceptualizing support by user groups is considered by many as obsolete. People do not receive health services by virtue of being ‘older’. Rather they are in need of a service - for example, because of ill health, physical impairment, mental health difficulties, addiction or offending. This article will enable us to consider the implications of the re-figuring of the relationship between the state, older people and health professions and social work. This constructs an ambiguous place for older people: they feature either as a resource - captured in the idea of the ‘active citizen’, as affluent consumers, volunteers or providers of childcare- or as a problem in the context of poverty, vulnerability and risk.

The importance of citizen’s participation in government cannot be overemphasized. Governments in many developing countries have made efforts, in spite of their infrastructural and financial limitations, to uphold the virtues of participatory e-governance with limited success. A major cause of this elusive success is the design of e-government platforms, which doesn’t encourage usage by the stakeholders of e-government. Many governments in developing countries are settling for other means to communicate with citizens. In this work, a new architectural framework is proposed that uses knowledge management facilities to enhance web-based e-governance and encourage participation, thus allowing for the elicitation of knowledge from online discourse. The country examined in this article is Nigeria. However, it is likely that many other African and developing countries have similar experiences. This work will aid in the improvement of web-based e-government platforms for such countries.
