Abstract
Affecting the stability of local societies in the long term, socio-economic and safety risks in an area are a vital topic these days. One such risk is the use of illicit substances. So as to identify this risk, modern IT-based technologies of data collection can be used. In addi-tion, an effective solution of this approach requires a connection with other entities of ter-ritorial administration. This paper presents an example of strategic management and the application of the knowledge of social-economic processes within a local area using mod-ern technologies. These will be practically presented on the example of the “DRAGON2 – From measuring to solving” project. It aims to create an integrated strategy to tackle the use of illicit substances in seven cities most beset with this issue in the Moravian-Silesian region, which is a high-risk area from the social perspective in the Czech Republic. The main contribution of DRAGON2 is the application of acquired data, by adding monitor-ing strategies which will facilitate tackling the issue of illicit substances and drug addic-tion, and which will combine public territorial administration (regions, municipalities) with organisational units active in the given area (the Police, health institutions, etc.).
