National governments often expect municipalities to develop toward open cities and be equally motivated to open up municipal data, yet municipalities have different characteristics influencing their motivations. This paper aims to reveal how municipality size influences municipalities' motivation perspectives on opening up municipality data. To this end, Q-methodology is used, which is a method that is suited to objectify people's frames of mind on a particular topic. By applying this method to 37 municipalities in the Netherlands, we elicited the motivation perspectives of three main groups of municipalities: (1) advocating municipalities, (2) careful municipalities, and (3) conservative municipalities. We found that advocating municipalities are mainly large-sized municipalities (>65,000 inhabitants) and a few small-sized municipalities (<35,000 inhabitants). Careful municipalities concern municipalities of all sizes (small, medium, and large). The conservative municipality perspective is more common among smaller-sized municipalities. Our findings do not support the statement "the smaller the municipality, the less motivated it is to open up its data". However, the type and amount of municipality resources do influence motivations to share data or not. We provide recommendations for how open data policy makers on the national level need to support the three groups of municipalities and municipalities of different sizes in different ways to stimulate the provision of municipal data to the public as much as possible. Moreover, if national governments can identify which municipalities adhere to which motivation perspective, they can then develop more targeted open data policies that meet the requirements of the municipalities that adhere to each perspective. This should result in more open data value creation. ; Other UBC ; Non UBC ; Reviewed ; Faculty

Each transformation that occurred in the world is also taking influence upon countries and governments. Today the progress of globalization in economic terms but also in the middle of the border between the information and communication technology in the world is also experiencing rapid developments. Precisely the e-government and e-municipality concept, its application to a local government should be investigated during this process; rendering the e-municipal services to citizens via the internet, to other institutions, companies and also providing information to employees of e-Government / e-Municipality was introduced in this concept. Information and communication technologies, especially computers and the Internet have become an important part of modern society now and has influenced almost every area of daily life. These developments affect the public institutions as well as businesses inevitable. Expectations of the citizens from public institutions with the widespread use of information and communication technologies in society and their demands have been changed in this regard. Citizens in the information age of communication and information sharing expectations are always interactive with the public institutions using the internet. Therefore, e-government and e-municipality efforts to serve citizens more efficiently and effectively have been recognized worldwide. E-municipality and egovernment concepts are discussed in this study. Diversification of the use of technology and the expansion hereof and facilitating access to the Internet resulted in citizens' developments through technology, of course, such developments in technologies bring services in municipalities closer to the people. E-municipality can provide not only the services they announce in their ads. Some of the municipalities are still unable to reach all the people by the use of technology and the internet; but some municipalities made good use of this opportunity and began delivering services to the public via the Internet much faster. Municipalities have engaged private organizations possessing the modern technology in their work and so they will increase the efficiency of rendering the e-services.

The Regulation Rules are an air protection device available to municipalities pursuant to Act No. 201/2012 Sb., on Air Protection (effective from 1 September 2012), which is based on EU requirements. It is a short-term device for dealing with smog situations, i.e. extreme conditions of high levels of air pollution, where the threshold values of selected pollutants are exceeded. The paper deals with the legislation on the Regulation Rules of municipality in the Czech Republic (the requirements for the issuing of the Regulation Rules and the requirements for their content and form). The Regulation Rules are issued in the form of municipal regulations. The paper therefore deals with the aspects of the Regulation Rules as a municipality regulation and refers to the supervision of the issuing and the content of the municipal regulations. The main shortcomings of the current legislation are pointed out, the legislation being compared with the previous legislation effective until 31 August 2012. Is the legislation on the municipal Regulation Rules an adequate device for air protection? What does a limitation in the Regulation Rules mean if it only regulates the operation of motor vehicles in the event of a smog situation? And what is the relation of the Regulation Rules to the low emission zone as another device for air protection? ; The Regulation Rules are an air protection device available to municipalities pursuant to Act No. 201/2012 Sb., on Air Protection (effective from 1 September 2012), which is based on EU requirements.
