In the context of society’s digital transformation, integrating digital technologies into the governance of territorial communities is becoming increasingly important. Since the onset of Russia’s full-scale military invasion of Ukraine, reform initiatives—particularly the reform of territorial communities—have faced significant challenges. Nevertheless, despite difficult conditions, including budget constraints, a shortage of resources, and limited personnel, communities continue to implement digital processes at the local level actively. Purpose of the study: to examine the legal framework for the digitalization of territorial community governance in the context of the implementation of robotic and intelligent systems. Research methods: analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, and comparison; systems approach; abstraction and forecasting methods; historical and dialectical methods. Research results. Digital transformation is occurring progressively through the phased introduction and continuous refinement of new technologies. For Ukraine, currently during active hostilities, digital technologies have become not only a driver of economic development but also a factor of stability, security, and adaptation to emerging challenges. The use of digital solutions is an effective means of addressing urgent issues; it is a necessity of the present and an opportunity for communities to build a resilient infrastructure that meets the needs of their residents. The research findings can assist territorial communities in setting priorities for organizing a secure electronic environment.

Keywords: territorial communities, digitalization, robotic systems, intelligent systems, governance, implementation, legal framework.
