Title: e-Government Services in Local Governments
– Towards a Knowledge Centre
Abstract: Electronic
Government, or e-Government and its many synonyms, has been on the agenda
for several years. Since the late 1990s, governments at all level have launched
e-Government projects in order to provide electronic information and services
to citizens and businesses. The area of e-Government is still in its infancy
and until recently research has mainly been focused on a national level and
there has been far less research on local governments, where it is a higher
degree of impact on the citizens and their daily lives. Consequently, we
do not have adequate knowledge about e-Government initiatives and practices
on the local level. Hence, there is, among other things, a risk for dissemination
of local experiences and knowledge.
