The article updates the complex problem of implementing public participation projects in post-war reconstruction using the tools of smartization and electronic democracy in conditions of hybrid threats. It was found that electronic participation platforms contribute to the involvement of community residents in local decision-making processes. Thanks to these tools, it was possible to achieve significant success in activating citizens in the preparation of relevant decisions. Unlike traditional methods, such as public hearings or local initiatives, electronic platforms offer a convenient and efficient way to involve an unlimited number of participants. This shows that digital solutions and tools of e-democracy can significantly expand the circle of active participants in post-war reconstruction processes and ensure effective participation of citizens in local decisions. It was established that among the main problems and risks associated with the implementation of the concept of "Public Participation 2.0" and the implementation of technological solutions based on web 2.0 in the post-war reconstruction processes, both at the state level and within the framework of public initiatives, duplication can be identified functions of different institutions, what should be avoided, low quality and reliability of information content, as well as inconsistency of interaction with the final beneficiaries. This leads to excessive regulation, untimeliness of prompt decision-making and response to requests, as well as irrational use of resources aimed at restoring facilities and infrastructure. It has been proven that the mechanism of implementing smart solutions to involve citizens in the processes related to solving the actual problems of war and post-war reconstruction can include the presence of smart community infrastructure. This involves a variety of services that are characterized by interactivity and contribute to the involvement of citizens in making informed modern decisions regarding the restoration and development of communities, while providing feedback to the processes that reflect the most urgent needs of community life. The implementation of online platforms and smart solutions during the interaction of public authorities with the public is one of the ways to ensure the effectiveness of public participation procedures in post-war reconstruction processes.
