Purpose—the purpose of the article is to analyse and evaluate e-participation projects in Lithuanian municipalities on the peculiarities of involving different social technologies. Design/methodology/approach is based on analysis of scientific literature, projects reports and comparative analysis of websites under new index for assessment of e-democracy projects. Findings—the paper presents an original overview of municipalities' e-participation projects and its peculiarities on the support of different tools and technologies. Research limitations/implications—this research deals only with documents and opinions of municipalities and is limited to one side of the e-participation process. In order to generalize the research findings, further investigation should include empirical surveys of citizens' opinions concerning the effectiveness of e-participation projects. Practical implications—the results can be used to improve collaboration of citizens with public servants in e-participation projects that are important to Lithuanian institutions. Originality/Value—evaluation of e-participation projects in the new index for assessment in Lithuanian municipalities has not yet been examined deeply enough. ; Demokratijos veiksmingas funkcionavimas priklauso nuo piliečių pasitikėjimo viešosiomis institucijomis, noro pripažinti demokratijos taisykles. Informacinės ir komunikacinės technologijos (IKT) tapo galingu įrankiu, palengvinančiu piliečių bendravimą su demokratine valdžia. Tinkamai naudojamos informacinės ir ryšių technologijos gali būti elektroninės demokratijos įrankis, leidžiantis piliečiams daugiau sužinoti apie valdžios politinių sprendimų priėmimo procesą ir dalyvauti juos rengiant. Šiems tikslams 2009–2012 m. iš Europos regioninės plėtros fondų Lietuvai buvo skirta nemaža finansinė parama, o pagal priemonę "Elektroninė demokratija: regionai" Lietuvos savivaldybėse buvo vykdoma per 40 projektų. Nors dauguma šių projektų jau baigti, trūksta visapusiškesnių apibendrinimų ir įvertinimų, todėl straipsnio tikslas – išanalizuoti ir įvertinti elektroninės demokratijos projektus Lietuvos regionuose. Straipsnyje plačiau aptarti elektroninės demokratijos terminai, plačiau išnagrinėti piliečių elektroninio dalyvavimo ypatumai, e. dalyvavimo įrankiai. Remiantis mokslinės literatūros analize, buvo pasiūlyta nauja metodika elektroninės demokratijos projektams įvertinti, pagal kurią bendras projektų įvertinimo indeksas nustatomas remiantis pagal 16 savivaldybių interneto tinklalapių rodiklių, suskirstytų į 5 grupes: (1) sąsajas su elektronine demokratija; (2) savivaldybės politikų atvirumo ir teisės aktų sistemos skaidrumo; (3) abipusio bendravimo su piliečiais; (4) interaktyvių e. bendravimo ir e. konsultacijų įrankių ir (5) tinklapių ir e. dalyvavimo įrankių naudojamumo. Projektų analizė parodė, kad pagal priemonę "Elektroninė demokratija – regionai" vykdytų 42 projektų 38 projektus atliko atskiros savivaldybės iš šešių Lietuvos regionų. Kitos 22 savivaldybės vykdė 4 regioninius projektus. Du projektai dar yra nebaigti. Projektų užduočių analizė ir savivaldybių tinklalapių tyrimas parodė, kad Lietuvos savivaldybėse įvykdyti projektai leido sukurti ir įdiegti daug sėkmingų e. demokratijos ir e. dalyvavimo įrankių, leidžiančių ženkliai padidinti savivaldos institucijų atvirumą ir veiklos skaidrumą. Nors visi projektai buvo atliekami beveik tuo pačiu metu (2009–2012 m.) lygiagrečiai, nustatytas savivaldybių elektroninės demokratijos projektų įvertinimo indekso dydis atskirose savivaldybėse labai stipriai skyrėsi tuose regionuose, kuriuose savivaldybės vykdė atskirus projektus. Tačiau dalyvavusių regioniniuose projektuose savivaldybių elektroninės demokratijos projektų įvertinimo indeksų vidurkiai yra kiek mažesni, negu savivaldybių, vykdžiusių individualius projektus. Savivaldybių tinklalapių tyrimas parodė, kad naujais e. demokratijos įrankiais naudojasi dar palyginti mažai piliečių. Todėl reikia imtis papildomų priemonių padėčiai gerinti, kurių kryptis kiekvienai savivaldybei gali parodyti gilesnė išmatuotų elektroninės demokratijos projektų įvertinimo indeksų analizė. Pasiūlytą elektroninės demokratijos projektų įvertinimo metodiką dar reikėtų tikslinti, o tyrimus pakartoti, kai bus užbaigti visi 42 projektai.

SummaryThe public sphere uniting the Lithuanian institutions that supervise information dissemination in the public usually attracts private and commercial interest; therefore, with an increasing demand of civil society to participate in decision-making and implementation processes, it is necessary to define the factors that determine social involvement (participation) and e-participation. Non-governmental organizations are most active institutions implementing civil activities. In Lithuania, e-participation is usually considered as the provision of public services and e-commerce. In this article, e-participation is discussed as a communication framework enhancing participatory democracy and citizenship. According to this communicative aspect, e-participation is also analyzed as an integral part of the public sphere and as a dimension of information dissemination. The research analyses the expressions of non-governmental organizations' e-participation, which have never been studied in Lithuania. The research is focused on the following scientific problem: may the e-participation used for the implementation of third sector activities and the public sphere used for the consideration and announcement of urgent issues encourage active citizenship, establishment of participatory democracy and ensure public e-participation?Key words: e-participation, public sphere, non-governmental organizations, postmodernism, critical theory, modern public sphere

The European Union Sustainable Development Strategy stated that sustainable development was a long‐term European Union's strategy safeguarding clean and healthy environment and better quality of life for the present and future generations. People with disabilities are perhaps the single segment of society with the most to gain from the new technologies of the electronic age. Yet they are among the lowest rates of use of these technologies. As a result, the potential benefits of computers and the Internet to the disability community are a long way from being realized. Computer technology and the Internet have a tremendous potential to broaden the lives and increase the independence of people with disabilities. Those who have difficulty leaving their homes can now log in and order groceries, shop for appliances, research health questions, participate in online discussions, catch up with friends, or make new ones. Development of information society is one of main three Lithuanian state priorities stated in State long‐term strategy. It fits aims of the European Union. Lithuanian information society development's aims are coordinated with norms of Lisbon strategy and initiative "e‐Europe – information society for all". It is quite important that disabled persons could use IT opportunities. Research presents analysis of the main state Internet sites with purpose to establish how these sites are fitted to demands of disabled persons. Santrauka Europos Sąjungos darnaus vystymosi strategijos pagrindą sudaro aplinkosauga, ekonominis ir socialinisvystymasis, siekiant sukurti sveiką aplinką ir geresnę gyvenimo kokybę dabartinėms ir ateinančiomskartoms. Pereinant prie informacinės visuomenės, gausi informacia tampa prieinama naujais, įvairiaisformatais ir gali būti pateiktas nepriklausomai nuo vietos ir laiko bei pritaikoma pagal atskirų asmenųporeikius ir reikalavimus. Informacinės visuomenės kūrimas yra pirmasis iš trijų Lietuvos valstybėsprioritetų, įtvirtintų Valstybės ilgalaikės raidos strategijoje, tai atitinka Europos Sąjungos siekius. Lietuvosinformacinės visuomenės plėtros tikslai yra suderinti su Lisabonos strategija bei iniciatyvos "e-Europe –informacinė visuomenė visiems" nuostatomis bei reikalavimais. Tobulinant e. valdžią, svarbu skatintipaslaugų teikimą elektroniniais būdais, užtikrinti gyventojams galimybę naudotis šiomis paslaugomis.Sprendžiant šį uždavinį, svarbu užtikrinti prieigą prie šiuolaikinių technologijų visiems norintiesiems.Lygių galimybių principo įgyvendinimas socialinės atskirties gyventojų grupėms turi užtikrinti galimybę rinktis ir paveikti svarbiausius gyvenimo sprendimus. Žmonės, kurie negali naudotis informacinėmistechnologijomis, praranda galimybę gauti tam tikrą informaciją ir viešąsias paslaugas. Neįgalusis dėlnepritaikytos fizinės aplinkos dažnai neturi galimybių pasinaudoti sveikajai visuomenės daliai prieinamainformacija ir pasiekti informacijos šaltinį. Viena iš svarbių prielaidų neįgaliųjų atskirčiai mažinti yrainterneto informacinės aplinkos pritaikymas žmonėms, turintiems negalią.

This article analyzes the motives for direct (in military actions) and non-direct (in administrative or military support actions) participation of Ukrainian women in the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian military conflict that began in 2014. It aims to reveal the motives that have led pro-Ukrainian women to take part in defending their country by allowing the participants of the study to speak for themselves. The article draws on twenty (20) e-interviews with women who were involved in the war in Ukraine and five (5) semi-structured interviews with people who due to their professional activities were able to observe the conflict from the inside (journalists, NGO workers, and war photographers), as well as secondary sources available. Content analysis of the interview data was implemented. The article identifies four main motives for participation in war: patriotism, grievances, personal loss and suffering, and women's empowerment. This information corresponds with similar studies conducted elsewhere in the region. ; Šiame straipsnyje yra analizuojami moterų tiesioginio (kariniuose veiksmuo­se) ir netiesioginio (administraciniuose, kariuomenės paramos veiksmuose) dalyvavimo kariniame Rusijos–Ukrainos konflikte, kuris prasidėjo 2014 m., motyvai. Šio straipsnio tikslas yra, leidžiant pasisakyti pačioms tyrimo dalyvėms, atskleisti motyvus, kurie paskatino proukrainietes moteris dalyvauti ginant šalį. Straipsnyje yra remiamasi 20 e. interviu su moterimis, kurios buvo įsitraukusios į karą Ukrainoje, ir penkiais pusiau struktūruotais interviu su žmonėmis, kurie dėl savo profesinės veiklos turėjo galimybę stebėti konfliktą iš vidaus (žurnalistai, NVO darbuotojai, karo fotografai), taip pat prieinamais antriniais šaltiniais. Interviu duomenys buvo analizuojami taikant turinio analizę. Šiame straipsnyje yra pristatomi keturi pagrindiniai dalyvavimo kare motyvai: patriotizmas, nuoskaudos, asmeninės netektys ir kančios bei moterų įgalinimas. Ši informacija atliepia panašius tyrimus, atliktus kituose regionuose.

A. Čepienė. Simulation of Social Participation of Village Community Members. The final paper of social work master's degree supervised by Prof. Dr. E. Acienė, Klaipėda University: Klaipėda, 2011–66 p. The analysis of the theoretical sources is carried out in the work. In the first part of the study a quantative research aiming to find out today's rural community peoples' life, their work opportunities to create a better and more active life is presented. In the second part of the study a qualitative research having used a semi-structured interview method in order to clarify the influence of rural communities evolution, the impact of environment on activities in rural communities, the objectives and structure of activities of rural communities and activating of rural communities work is presented. The hypothesis of the research is that today's rural community members' social participation is not active, with no clear content and work dimensions. The object of the research is rural community members' simulation of social participation. The goal of the research is to establish a rural community-based model of social participation based on active community participation in social activities and a professional social worker's assistance. The following are the tasks of the research: To reveal social participation within an active rural community emphasizing the phenomenon of social participation. To analyze the social participation of rural communities in solving problems, evaluating the expression of community participation in the social aspect of social work. To detect and analyze the rural community participation in social modeling assumptions. Master's work, based on empirical-analytical arguments, identified that the hypothesis-today's rural community members' social participation is not active, with no clear content and work dimensions-proved out. The study results show that the rural community is not the most under-active. It is difficult to discern an active, conscious and modern characteristics even in social workers' activities. Purposeful realization of in the social empirical study identified and in the model of rural communities' social participation described categories is rural communities' social participation activation and thereby the assumption of democracy realization.

The paper is based on a research dealing with the e-inclusion policy in Lithuania. Authors describe and analyse public and private initiatives, designed to avoid electronic disjuncture, as these initiatives can be realized through innovative projects. E-inclusion is an activity, an instrument of creation of information society for everyone, e-inclusion helps to decrease the risk of digital disjuncture, to secure that disabled persons, elder persons and socially sensitive sets be involved in development of e-government and avoid new forms of disjuncture caused by information illiteracy and poverty of access to internet. Mykolas Romeris University participated as a national correspondent for Lithuania in eInclusion@EU project, which was launched under the European Union's Information Society Technology program in 2004. The paper is grounded on the material of this project. ; Straipsnyje analizuojama Lietuvos e. įtraukties politika ir aprašomos viešosios ir privačios iniciatyvos, skirtos panaikinti elektroninei atskirčiai, kurios realizuojamos per inovacinius projektus.
