Abstract

The formation of a full-fledged digital national economy integrated into a single world order is today’s trend. Under a single technological human habitat, it is necessary to understand territories as separate systemic mechanisms of the state, lined up in a logical sequence region-city-municipality city-municipality of each element’s region position to the previous and subsequent ones. That is consideration of the socio-economic development of the system from the standpoint of the agglomeration effect. Based on the above, the article considered various approaches to identifying a territory from the point of view of digital maturity in the global digital transformation process. The existing methods for assessing the digital maturity of Russian regions are considered, groups of metrics for such an assessment are given, and a critical assessment of existing methods is given to develop new ones or improve old ones. The rationale for this is the ability to track digital transformation dynamics through the digital maturity of territories.
