Abstract
The study aimed to establish a system for monitoring and evaluating the recovery of territorial communities in Ukraine affected by armed conflict. Key areas of monitoring – economic, social, environmental, and governance – were identified. Economic indicators, such as investment and job creation, were established as metrics of stability, while social indicators, including employment and access to services, proved critical for quality of life. Environmental indicators emphasized reducing emissions, improving energy efficiency, and using renewable energy. Governance indicators underscored the need for coordination, participation, and resource transparency. The central achievement was the development of a digital platform capable of real-time data collection and analysis, automating data integration from diverse sources for visualized operational analysis. The platform was accompanied by a roadmap outlining key stages, from planning and integration to testing and full implementation, ensuring its effective deployment across communities. This systematic approach was proved to significantly contribute to sustainable development by promoting efficient resource use, environmental responsibility, and improved governance. The findings highlighted that a comprehensive monitoring system supports recovery processes by enabling timely adjustments and ensuring transparency. These mechanisms were established as essential for achieving long-term stability and resilience in conflict-affected regions. The study’s outcomes emphasize the critical role of integrated platforms and structured approaches in enhancing the effectiveness of recovery efforts while fostering trust and collaboration among stakeholders
