This chapter examines the pivotal relationship between e-planning applications and their organizational context. It employs various evaluation frameworks by searching explicit and implicit structures behind the implementation process. The study is largely based on the statement that 'the organizational and user dimension of implementation factors more than technical ones, constitute the main obstacles to the improvement of e-planning tools in urban planning agencies'. The empirical part of the study scrutinizes the personal and situational factors of users in the process of implementation, benefits and constraints of an e-planning implementation and planning practitioners' perception of new technologies on urban planning practice and debate. Using a case study research in Turkish local governments, the findings of this study reveal that the organizational and human aspects of high order information systems are still the biggest obstacle in the implementation process.

In the light of the new wave of competition among governments fuelled by the global discourse of "good governance," the present study examines China's motivation & strategy for establishing an e-government in this global competitive context. By examining the many different political, economic & social incentives for e-governance, it will be shown that China differs from developed countries both in the structure of its e-government as well as in its content priority. The Chinese government has copied developed country models to a certain extent to enhance its governance. In order to encourage China's endeavours to improve its governance, the author tried to develop a series of compatible criteria for evaluating e-governments in general & China's informatization practice in particular.

AbstractThis paper gives an overview of e‐government development in Estonia. The analysis incorporates both public sector initiatives and private sector developments which have contributed to the evolution of e‐government. Private sector agents are seen as endogenous, not exogenous, in explaining e‐government performance. Ultimately, the development of Internet banking by the private sector was fundamental in enabling the government to launch interactive online services. The findings reveal that the implementation of Estonian e‐government is considerably more heterogeneous than previous studies have indicated. Basic service delivery and platforms for participation vary significantly across functional areas. Some ministries have provided innovative online services for the last ten years while others still struggle in making basic information available online. The availability of innovative platforms for online political participation has delivered remarkable outcomes in the last elections, while they have consistently failed to engage the public in the legislative process.

peer-reviewed ; E-Government has long endured a myriad of problematic issues associated with traditional enterprise resource planning (ERP). Cloud computing is being lionized as a nascent platform that possesses the capabilities to reduce costs and drive radical innovations throughout all spheres of e- Government. One such low hanging fruit is that of Cloud ERP which is positioned as a revolutionary approach to the traditional ERP implementation. In this reflection paper, we use the 5-4-3 cloud stack layer model to identify value potential for particular aspects of cloud computing in ERP for e-Government provision.

E-Government is a government administration system that plays a vital role in the international global communication, and greatly determines the progress of a state. However, the government administration system that utilizes Information and Communication Technology may be exposed to threats, especially threats originating from cyberspace. This research was carried out with the aim to analyze Brunei Darussalam's E-Government strategy in overcoming cyber threats. This study uses descriptive qualitative research methods accompanied by data obtained from the presentations and interviews during the overseas field study visits in Brunei Darussalam by the representatives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MOFAT), IT Protective Security Services (ITPSS), and the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) of Brunei Darussalam, as part of a research related to Brunei Darussalam's e-Government strategy in overcoming cyber threats. The results of this study indicate that the Brunei Darussalam's e-Government strategy in overcoming cyber threats was carried out by focusing on citizen-centric service delivery in stages. It begins with the establishment of a law on computer abuse in 2000, followed by the establishment of Brunei National Computer Emergency Response Team (BruCERT) in 2004, introduction of Internet Ethics and Cyber Security Awareness Program in 2009, and the development of a national cyber security framework in 2014. All are integrated into a common policy coined as Brunei Insight 2035. This can be an input for the implementation of e-Government in Indonesia, in order to improve the equality and openness of access to information and communication in Indonesia, without neglecting the principles of security and comfort in communicating and obtaining information.
