dc.description.abstract | The Internet is increasingly used to disseminate local government information and to
provide public services. Although this is still a developing area of research, the needs
of users of local government information are often overlooked in the research and the
benefit of online provision is seldom rigorously tested. This study evaluated the
current provision of planning information on the Internet in Irish local authorities from
the users' perspective. The provision was evaluated using methods that acknowledge
the user's importance in determining the suitability of online information. In this
research, the users of the planning information were identified and their
characteristics and needs were assessed via an online questionnaire. Finally, local
authorities were selected based on the evaluation of the local authority online
provision and interviews w ere conducted regarding their views of users and their
provision. The provision of online inform ation varies drastically across the different
local authorities. | |
