New pages have appeared on SVOI Platform. The community website now offers the possibility to discover news by hashtags, add information about public self-organisation bodies, or refer to the ‘Beehive’ system.

SVOI platform is a website builder and chatbot for citizens to interact with local authorities. They offer simple functionality that can be mastered by everyone who knows how to use a smartphone. The chatbot is available in two messengers: Viber (viber://pa?chatURI=smartownbot) and Telegram (https://t.me/smart_town_bot).

Three new pages have also appeared on the website:

1. ‘Urban planning’ to provide news, publications, and regulatory instruments on the relevant topics. Master plans for communities’ territories may also be uploaded here.
2. Public self-organisation bodies’ — addresses, telephone numbers or other information about the representative bodies of community residents (house, street, district committees, etc.) can be found on this page.
3. ‘Beehive’ is a page for small ASCs that operate within this information system. Beehive allows handling of applications and documents, has a directory of applicants and a local register of addresses, and also supports proper operation if online connection goes down. Instructions on connecting to the system are available here: http://bit.ly/3ZLvZqg.
