The use of citizens` and legal entities` personal information is crucial for the protection of human rights at the current stage of society and information technology development. On the one hand, a high-quality system of processing and using this information can increase the level of citizen participation in government-making processes and assist on creating a human-centric approach in public administration, when the state will have all the necessary information to serve citizens (providing of all administrative services online, use of analytics to improve infrastructure, etc.). On the other hand, misuse and unauthorized access to personal data can lead to violations of citizens' rights, corruption and excessive bureaucracy in administrative procedures.At the same time, approaches to the protection of personal data should be not formal, but purely practical.

Vi lever i ett samhälle där elektronisk information och kommunikation får en allt större betydelse både i vardags- och arbetslivet. I föreliggande avhandling studeras den utveckling som innebär att offentliga organisationer digitaliseras, det som kan kallas för e-förvaltning. Utgångspunkten för dessa studier är en vilja att undersöka vilka betydelser värden har i digitaliseringsprocesser i offentliga organisationer. Tre kvalitativa, tolkande, studier har genomförts. En av dessa var en studie av svenska e-förvaltningspolicyer. De två andra delstudierna var fallstudier av digitalisering som företogs i dels Landstinget i Östergötland, dels på Försäkringskassan. Fallstudierna har baserats på intervjuer, dokumentstudier och observationer. Teoretiskt bygger avhandlingens analyser på teorier om offentliga värden, legitimitet samt samspelet mellan teknik och organisation. Analyserna visar på vilka värden som ges betydelse i digitaliseringsprocesser i det offentliga och hur digitaliseringen kan påverka grundläggande demokratiska värden i offentliga organisationer. Avhandlingens resultat kan sammanfattas i tre övergripande slutsatser: 1) Digitaliseringen av den offentliga förvaltningen är kontextberoende och sker i ett samspel mellan teknik, policy och förvaltning samt de värden som är knutna till dessa. 2) Utvecklingen mot e-förvaltning ger uttryck för en mångfald av värden, och inspireras och formas av tankegods från olika värdegrunder. 3) Digitaliseringen kan påverka de demokratiska värdenas ställning i offentliga organisationer, och därmed ha betydelse för förvaltningens legitimitet. Avhandlingens centrala kunskapsbidrag är en större förståelse för vilka implikationer e-förvaltningsreformer kan ha för förvaltningens demokratiska och byråkratiska värden och dess legitimitet. Digitaliseringsprocesser är inte värdeneutrala, utan både formas av och formar värden i samspelet mellan teknik, politiska målsättningar och förvaltningens unika organisatoriska och verksamhetsmässiga förutsättningar. En medvetenhet kring digitaliseringens värden är därför betydelsefull när e-förvaltningsreformer initieras och genomförs. Ytterligare forskning om hur de processer ser ut där värden hos teknik och offentliga organisationer formar och präglar varandra kan bidra till att upprätthålla den offentliga förvaltningens legitimitet i en digitaliserad värld. ; We live in a society where the importance of digitalisation grows in every day life as well as in the workplace. In this dissertation the development of the digitalisation of public administration is studied – this development is usually referred to as egovernment. The main focus of the analysis in this dissertation is to gain a better understanding of the meanings of values in these digitalisation processes in public organisations. Three qualitative, interpretative case studies make up the foundation for this analysis. The first case is an analysis of Swedish e-government policies. The two other cases focus on organisational practices in public administration; the County Council of Östergötland and the Swedish Social Insurance Agency. These case studies have been based on interviews, document studies and observations. Theoretically the analyses of the dissertation build on theories of public values, legitimacy and the interplay between organisation and technology. The analyses show which values are given importance in digitalisation processes and how digitalisation can affect basic democratic values in public organisations. The results of the dissertation can be summarised in three comprehensive conclusions: 1) The digitalisation of the public administration is context dependent and takes place in an interplay between technology, policy and administration and the specific values which constitute these different domains. 2) The development towards e-government comprises a multitude of values, and is inspired and shaped by different sets of values. 3) The digitalisation can influence the role of the democratic values in public organisations, and therefore affect the legitimacy of the public administration. The main contribution of this dissertation is a deeper understanding of what implications e-government reforms can have for the administrations democratic values and its legitimacy. Processes of digitalisation are not value neutral, but are booth shaped by and shape values in the interplay between technology, political goals and the administrations particular organisational forms. Hereby, awareness of the values of digitalisation becomes crucial when e-government reforms are initiated and carried out. Further research on how technology and public organisations shape each other can contribute to uphold the legitimacy of public administration in a digitalised world.
Die digitale Transformation schafft grundlegend neue Behandlungs- und Präventionsformen. Die gegenseitige sinnhafte Kommunikation aller eingesetzten IT-Systeme ist hier von elementarer Bedeutung. Bis in die Gegenwart ist es jedoch nicht gelungen, die isolierten Informationsinseln im Gesundheitssystem zu vernetzen. Die vorliegende steuerungswissenschaftliche Analyse zur Schaffung der patientenzentrierten Interoperabilität erarbeitet systematisch die gesundheitspolitischen Fehlentwicklungen und zeigt zugleich konkrete Lösungswege zur Schaffung der digitalisierten Vernetzung auf. Forschungsschwerpunkt der Autorin ist die digital-ethische Methodenentwicklung zur Bewertung technischer Innovationen im Gesundheitssystem.

The paper presents a general theoretical overview of the new norms and procedures of e-petitioning in Ukraine. Epetitioning is viewed as a new form of direct and effective political communication and e-participation that marks country's democratic advances. The article presents a short overview of terms "e-participation", "e-democracy" and "epetition" followed by a brief history of petitioning and its e-modification after the worldwide growth of informational and communication technologies. Democracy and communication rights are seen as interdependent, they promote transparency, effectiveness and accountability of governmental organs. We define e-petition as the most standardized, lawful and popular form of e-participation present in Ukraine. The suggested analysis of the e-petitioning in Ukraine provides the information on the norms and restrictions of this model of government–citizen communication. E-petitioning can also be viewed as a new type of media discourse. We believe that new linguistic and IT skills must be developed to fulfil the demands of e-participation growth. References 1. 2016.

Електронні петиції розуміємо як нову форму прямої та ефективної політичної комунікації та електронного залучення, що свідчить про демократичний прогрес країни. Запропоновано короткий аналіз термінів «електронне залучення», «електронна демократія», «електронна петиція», а також огляд історії петицій та їх модифікацій після всесвітнього поширення інформаційних і комунікаційних технологій. Демократія та право на комунікацію – взаємозалежні та сприяють прозорості, ефективності й надійності державних органів. Вважаємо електронну петицію найбільш стандартизованою, ефективною й законодавчо закріпленою формою електронного залучення в Україні на сьогодні. Запропонований аналіз електронних петицій в Україні містить інформацію про норми й обмеження моделі комунікації – громадянин – уряд. Електронні петиції також можна розглядати як новий тип медійного дискурсу. Ми переконані, що зростання нових форм електронного залучення вимагатиме розвитку нових лінгвістичних і ІТ знань.
Legislation is important to recordkeeping strategies and requirements, since it determines which records are needed for legally legitimate actions. Yet the concepts of a document, a record, a case, a transaction, etc., are frequently defined differently in various laws even within national boundaries and are urgently in need of harmonization to minimize complications and barriers to e-business transactions. Every country has its own legislation system which has been adjusted over time in correlation to national context and its surrounding society (Duranti, 1989-1990, p. 5). Duranti and Goh (2012) provided sound arguments as to why it is important to ensure national archival legislation keeps pace with our digitally networked society with its increasingly blurred borders. In addition to their own national law, members of the European Union (EU) are obliged to follow EU-legislation requirements. There are three types of EU legislation: regulations, directives and decisions. A regulation is applicable in all EU countries. Directives are general rules. A decision is a stipulation of issues of concern for specifically mentioned persons or organizations (European Commission, 2013). Recommendations and statements are not binding, but may, for example, be used by the EU as support in interpretation of EU-legislation (Sveriges Riksdag, 2013). Hence, within public organizations, there is a close relation between records, recordkeeping processes, legislation and accountability. Yet research in Sweden has shown that 24/7 e-service web-interfaces serving e-government strategies and ambitions are sometimes developed without consulting recordkeeping professionals, in ignorance of legal requirements for capture of records and that preservation issues are rarely considered when acquiring new digital systems (Kallberg, Svärd and Sundberg, 2010). Several other European studies also identify a lack of recordkeeping awareness within public organizations (Barata, 2004; Valtonen, 2007; Shepherd, Stevenson, & Flinn, 2009; Riksarkivet, 2010). However, there is currently a strong European political ambition to implement eGovernment services, which aims to promote cross-border business development. On the other hand, this challenges archival thinking to meet business, technological and legal requirements stipulated for each country. Varying legal definitions used can cause major problems for transactions both within a country and across national borders, even in something as seemingly simple as exchanging e-invoices. This paper will discuss an approach to identifying a way forward for harmonizing legislation that contains recordkeeping requirements across the EU. Identifying the range of / types of laws within countries and EU that define a record Using the ICA multilingual terminology database, to check and add to definitions already found there Checking against definitions found in international standards. Research towards harmonizing these crucial definitions will be very challenging, given linguistic and cultural differences but the ICA multilingual terminology database is a potential vehicle for checking existing usage, adding to the definitions and quotations from legalislation and the literature already found there and adding new terms. The foundation version of the ICA-funded Terminology Database, developed as an ICA Section for Archival Educators' project led and hosted by the University of British Columbia, contains definitions with examples of usage for an initial 300 archival terms across 16 languages. It is planned for public release in the first half of 2013. References Barata, K. (2004). Archives in the Digital Age. Journal of the Society of Archivists, 25(1), 63-70. Duranti, L. (1989-1990).

Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: Accessibility und Usability bzw. Barrierefreiheit und Benutzbarkeit spielen im Web eine immer wichtiger werdende Rolle. Einerseits möchte man sich von seinem Konkurrenten durch bessere Benutzbarkeit unterscheiden, andererseits ist es für einen Webauftritt der öffentlichen Hand möglicherweise sogar gesetzlich vorgeschrieben, Barrierefreiheit nach bestehenden Standards zu erfüllen. Es mag überzogen klingen, Webseiten für eine so kleine Bevölkerungsgruppe wie beispielsweise Blinde zu optimieren oder zu erstellen. Im Bereich des eGovernment und der öffentlichen Hand ist dies durch Gesetzte mittlerweile in vielen Ländern Pflicht. Auch die Privatwirtschaft kann in diesem Bereich soziale Kompetenz und Verantwortung zeigen. Schliesslich ist eine Webseite, die barrierefrei zugänglich ist, für jeden Nutzer einfacher zu bedienen. Die technischen Vorteile wie bessere Indizierbarkeit durch Suchmaschinen und Geräteunabhängigkeit im Zeitalter des mobilen Internets dürfen ebenfalls nicht ausser Acht gelassen werden. Gut für die einen, notwendig für die anderen – diese Arbeit zeigt die Synergien von Usability und Accessibility, sowie ihre Unterschiede. Anhand der 'Digitalen Kluft', Statistiken, verschiedenen Arten von Behinderungen, der Analyse von bestehenden und sich entwickelnden Gesetzen und Zugänglichkeitsrichtlinien in Europa und den USA soll aufgezeigt werden, weshalb das Thema mittlerweile einen so hohen Stellenwert bei der Gestaltung von Webauftritten inne hält. Entwicklern soll eine Anleitung zur benutzerfreundlichen und barrierefreien Gestaltung von Webseiten gegeben werden. Projektleitern und Beratern soll im Hinblick auf die gesetzlichen Anforderungen der wirtschaftliche Nutzen näher gebracht werden. Ziel der Arbeit ist es, den Leser für das Thema zu sensibilisieren und Möglichkeiten zur Umsetzung eines barrierefreien und benutzerfreundlichen Webauftrittes aufzuzeigen.

Rationale: Attempts to successfully develop telemedicine solutions by specifying the require-ments and critical success factors of these solutions are on-going in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) countries as a means of improving access to high-quality healthcare. European Space Agency (ESA) (Dario et al. 2005) have explored the challenges and benefits of telemedicine solutions in these regions in the domains of eGovernment such as billing and administrative data management to support the healthcare process, aggregation and reporting of administrative data including quality, clinical outcomes, improving decision making through access to information and ad-vocacy through modern technology. This thesis builds on from the comparative analysis of the healthcare systems in Ghana and Nigeria, in order to specify the system requirements for teleme-dicine solutions supporting health governance in these countries. Motivation: Relevant literature in the domains of public health and information systems (IS) which studies requirements and success factors of telemedicine solutions in SSA countries sug-gests specific attention to be paid to the ability of such solutions to support health system gover-nance. This is due to the complex institutional context involving technical, legal, organizational, and financial issues to be solved which makes it difficult to transfer decision-making, planning, budgeting, management and resource allocation from the national level to the country-regional, district, sub-district and community levels (Braa et al. 2001). Method: This thesis performs a thorough review of published evidence to acquire information on the governance structures of healthcare systems in Ghana and Nigeria as well as successful operative telemedicine applications and services in these countries. UML modeling of the struc-tures is used to describe the processes which link the national level to the level of the (Regional Economic Communities) RECs of which these two countries are part. The open source District Health Information System 2 (DHIS 2) developed by Jørn Braar and collaborators is analyzed to assess functionalities it has to support health governance and health system management. The system is also analyzed in terms of what it stores, its extensibility and scalability by functions. A structured interview on health system governance in Ghana and Nigeria is conducted with key respondents such as health workers, persons dealing with statistics and training, system users, Health Information System (HIS) managers and planners. The research questions are tailored towards decision making processes in the running of healthcare system from national level to community level. Issues around funds, budgets and resource allocations are discussed. Decisions made with regard to the implementation of health policies such as the implementation of new types of healthcare services (i.e. eHealth services) are also discussed. Results: A main finding in the thesis is that the development of information systems at district and Primary Health Care (PHC) levels in Ghana and Nigeria needs to be an integrated effort across health sectors. With this focus, requirements and critical success factors of telemedicine solutions for Ghana and Nigeria have been specified by assessing the governance structures of health services in the two countries and by analyzing the DHIS 2 to identify scenarios in health-care that need telemedicine support. In the case of Ghana, the local control and empowerment of information at lower levels should be embedded into PHC. This is due to the fact that the man-agement of the source of healthcare information is usually a top-down approach (from national level to lower level) toppled with the differences that exists in the collection of healthcare data. This causes delays in healthcare decision making and duplications and omission of key data sets for performance assessment by the government. As such, the DHIS 2, although being used for information reporting in the Ghanaian healthcare system extended in terms of functionalities it is proposed as a system to support healthcare governance. In the case of Nigeria, there exists a Na-tional Health Management Information System (NHMIS) as a management tool for informed decision making at all the levels of government in Nigeria. However, there is no clearly defined role of the different tiers of government which affects the proper functioning of the NHMIS in terms of data input and data quality. As such, integrating the DHIS 2 to be used alongside the NHMIS at the Local Government Areas (LGAs) may enhance data quality and improved infor-mation reporting in healthcare decisions. Conclusion: Telemedicine and eHealth activity around developing countries is increasing, and this fact cannot be denied. Although such activities could be a daunting task, they are emerging as a promising means for achieving quality healthcare. The specific healthcare situations in Ghana and Nigeria have resulted in the specification of seven requirements regarding to the utili-zation of a HIS (specifically the DHIS 2). This is hoped to assist in the effective governance of healthcare systems in these countries.
The Internet-related cases coming to the European Court of Human Rights provide a good illustration of the challenges posed to the protection of human rights as based on the European Convention of Human Rights drafted in 1950. Considering that the Convention is a 70-year-old instrument, the Strasbourg Court has to deal with these cases using the body of principles and interpretation methods and techniques that has been developed so far, and in particular the 'living instrument' doctrine. In this study I propose to explore some main threads in the Court's jurisprudence on Internet-related cases, outlining the specific nature of Internet-related cases, discussing the problem of rights connected with the Internet as well as the impact of the Internet on such classical rights as freedom of expression and the right to privacy. I conclude that the Internet-related case law of the Convention is in a process of constant development. The Strasbourg Court has demonstrated that it is capable of dealing with Internet-related cases based on general Convention norms and using its well-developed interpretation techniques. The striking feature of Strasbourg's case law is the ECtHR's recognition of the considerable importance of the Internet as regards the exercise of freedom of expression, and in particular freedom to seek and access information. Although the ECtHR regards the Internet as a communication medium, however, it recognises its specific features which affect the performance of rights protected by the Convention as well as dangers it poses for the protection of human rights under the European Convention of Human Rights. ; University of Gdańsk, Poland ; Adam Wiśniewski is Associate Professor and Head of the Department of Public International Law in the Faculty of Law and Administration, University of Gdańsk, Poland. ; adam.wisniewski@prawo.ug.edu.pl ; 109 ; 133 ; 3 ; Best M.L., Can the Internet Be a Human Right?

En las últimas décadas el crecimiento de internet, las páginas y aplicaciones web, las tecnologías y demás medios que favorecen las comunicaciones y los servicios que se ofrecen en la red ha hecho que el movimiento de la información sea rápido y sencillo. La llegada de las tecnologías de la información ha hecho que los gobiernos se unan a esta tendencia para informatizar muchos de los servicios que ofrecen, fruto de este hecho es la creación de la Administración Electrónica. La Administración Electrónica es el uso de las tecnologías de la información en las Administraciones Públicas (AAPP) combinado con cambios organizativos y nuevas aptitudes con el fin de mejorar los servicios públicos, los procesos democráticos y reforzar el apoyo a las políticas públicas. La administración tradicional implica la presencia de los interesados además de ser necesario presentar los correspondientes papeles cumplimentados, etc. Las ventajas de la tramitación electrónica son indudables, ofrecen a los ciudadanos y a los diferentes gobiernos la capacidad de ser mucho más eficientes, reducir el tiempo de tramitación y simplificar los procedimientos. Este crecimiento y la tendencia a agilizar los servicios mediante el uso de las nuevas tecnologías han llevado a que las Administraciones hayan decidido impulsar esto con la creación de nuevas leyes y decretos. La Ley 30/1992 del 26 de Noviembre de 1992 de Régimen Jurídico de las Administraciones Públicas y del Procedimiento Administrativo Común ya recogía en algunos de sus artículos el impulso por parte de la Administración al empleo y aplicación de las técnicas y medios electrónicos, informáticos y telemáticos al objeto de desarrollar su actividad y el ejercicio de sus competencias cuando esto fuera compatible con los medios técnicos de que dispusieran éstas. Las avanzadas, para el momento, pero por otra parte prudentes, previsiones legales, muy válidas en 1992, hoy han quedado desfasadas, ante una realidad en la que el grado de penetración de ordenadores y el número de personas y entidades con acceso en banda ancha a Internet, con las posibilidades abiertas a otras tecnologías y plataformas, no se corresponden ya con los servicios meramente facultativos que la citada Ley permitía y estimulaba a establecer a las distintas Administraciones. Más recientemente el 23 de Junio del año 2007 se publicó en el Boletín Oficial del Estado y un día después entró en vigor la Ley 11/2007, de Acceso Electrónico de los Ciudadanos a los Servicios públicos, su finalidad es promover el uso de las Tecnologías de la Información y las Comunicaciones en las relaciones entre la Administración Pública y los ciudadanos y entre las diferentes Administraciones Públicas. En virtud de esta Ley, los ciudadanos podrán realizar todas sus gestiones administrativas por medios electrónicos. De esta forma, las Administraciones Públicas quedan obligadas a ofrecer sus servicios por Internet, dispositivos móviles, TDT o cualquier medio electrónico futuro. Fruto de esto el Ayuntamiento de Madrid decidió aprobar la externalización de la concesión de licencias urbanísticas apoyándose en entidades privadas. La Ordenanza fija las competencias de las entidades encargadas y se erige como instrumento de control sobre las mismas proporcionando un sistema con ciertos Servicios para interactuar con los mismos y controlar la viabilidad de las licencias. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ; The growth of Internet, web pages and applications, technologies, communications and services offered on the network has made the movement of information quick and easy. The arrival of information technology has led governments to join this trend to computerize many of the services they offer, fruit of this is the creation of e-Government. EGovernment is the use of information technologies in public administrations combined with organizational change, new skills to improve public services, democratic processes and support to public policies. Traditional management implies the presence of stakeholders as well as necessary to submit the appropriate paperwork filled out, etc. The advantages of electronic processing are beyond doubt, they give to the citizens and to the governments the ability to be much more efficient, reduce processing time and simplify procedures. This growth and the trend to streamline services using new technologies have led the authorities have decided to promote this with the creation of new laws. The Law 30/1992 of 26 November 1992 Legal Regime of Public Administrations have some articles that push the Administration to the use and application of techniques in order to develop its business and exercise its powers when it was compatible with the technical means at their disposal. More recently, the 23st of June of the year 2007 was published in the newspapers and one day after the act came into force the Law 11/2007 for the electronic access of citizens to public services. Its purpose is to promote the use of Information and Communications technologies in the relations between public administration and citizens and between different governments. Under this law, citizens can perform all administrative tasks electronically. Governments are obliged to offer their services over the Internet, mobile devices, DTV or any electronic future. The result of this the Madrid City Council decided to approve the outsourcing of the granting of planning permission by relying on private entities. This sets out the responsibilities of the entities and stands as an instrument of control over the same system providing certain services to interact with them and control the viability of the licenses. ; Ingeniería en Informática
eParticipation is a new research domain focusing the development of ICT-supported participation in processes of government and governance. These processes may concern involvement of practitioners, citizens and politicians in electronic public administration, service delivery, policy-making and decision-making. The overall objective of this thesis is to discuss how eParticipation is enacted and shaped, in and by practice, and thus contribute to development of practice-based conceptualisation as well as development within the differing practices of eParticipation. The study is based on interpretive case studies as well as theoretical perspectives assisting the analysis of the research field as multiple and co-related processes and relations of change and learning. The empirical data has been gathered during participation in several research and development projects, conducted within a local municipality in Southeast Sweden. Several of the projects were also part of national and international collaboration. The methodological approach comprises ethnographic studies, including interviews, participatory observations and document analysis. The approach of ethnomethodology was also inspirational for the close examining of how various actors organised their participation or non-participation in the various settings of preparing for or conducting eParticipation. The theoretical basis is multi-disciplinary, drawing on perspectives from technological and social theories, such as political science, ANT and feminist theories along with IS (information systems) research. The concept of symbolic eParticipation is coined in order to explore how the preconceived ideas of managing participation seem to be constricting and limiting local and situated development. At the same time, symbolic eParticipation is inspiring development of local interpretations and participatory work. The mutual shaping of these activities leads to the formulation of the notion malleability of organisations and citizenship. The findings indicate that activities of for instance customisation of software or evaluation of consultation tools contribute in creating socio-technical mechanisms, of which they are themselves a part. Those mechanisms embed power relations, and thus become a delegated function of opening up or closing for participation. An example of such socio-technical mechanisms is the notion of "active citizenship", which is given higher legitimate status if it is conducted mainly as an electronically mediated activity. The term "symbolic active citizenship" is suggested as a concept which describes the legitimate active citizenship. The process of becoming active is thoroughly addressed in this thesis, including variations such as pro-activity and active passivity. These are also mediated by processes of learning in communities of practice. Active participants alternate between being active and actively passive in the processes which are supposed to constitute, form and sustain activities of eParticipation. This fluidity of citizenship has implications for future design of technology and for how to perceive participation in these activities. The interplay of symbolic eParticipation and organisational and civic malle¬ability described in this thesis, underscores the significance of providing space for negotiations of situating eParticipation. ; eDeltagande kan kortfattat beskrivas som deltagande med IT-stöd i processer som omfattar styrning av beslutsfattande och policyskapande (eGovernment och eGovernance)och fördjupning av e-demokrati. Det övergripande syftet med avhandlingen har varit att analysera hur eDeltagande konstrueras i och genom praxis, hur "e" respektive "deltagande" gestaltas och omformas i samspelet mellan praktiker och visioner. Studien baseras på fallstudier som analysera utifrån en tvärvetenskaplig ansats, som syftar till att lyfta fram flerfaldiga och ömsesidigt påverkande processer och relationer rörande förändring och lärande som eDeltagande består av. Empiriskt material har samlats in inom ramen för ett flertal forsknings- och utvecklingsprojekt, med både lokal, nationell och internationell anknytning. Forskningsstudierna omfattar etnografiska studier, det vill säga intervjuer, deltagande observationer och dokumentanalyser. Etnometodologi har också inspirerat denna närstudie av hur olika aktörer i lokala, situerade praktiker organiserar sitt deltagande respektive icke-deltagande i skilda kontexter. Dessa kontexter kan utgöra förberedelse frö eDeltagande lika väl som faktiskt utförande av eDeltagande. Den teoretiska basen är mångvetenskaplig, och omfattar bland annat perspektiv från socioteknisk forskning inom området informatik, demokratiteori, ANT och feministisk teori. Termen symboliskt eDeltagande föreslås som ett praktik- och teoribaserat koncept som kan användas för att diskutera hur de förutfattade föreställningarna och uppfattningarna om hur deltagande bör hanteras både begränsar och öppnar för lokal och situerad utveckling. eDeltagande inspirerar till lokalt tolkningsarbete och omförhandling av hur deltagande skall stimuleras och genomföras, lika väl som det normaliserar och skapar enhetlighet av aktiviteter. Den ömsesidiga jämkningen och anpassningen av ett formbart aktivt medborgarskap kräver också formbara organisationer och formbara politiska praktiker. Lokal anpassning av IT-applikationer eller utveckling av IT-verktyg för till exempel e-konsultationer bidrar i sin tur till att skapa sociotekniska mekanismer av vilka de själva är en del. Dessa mekanismer bäddar in maktrelationer i frusna strukturer som i sin tur tilldelas delegerad funktion att öppna och stänga för deltagande. Ett konkret exempel på en sådan socioteknisk mekanism är termen aktivt medborgarskap som får en högre legitim status om aktiviteterna utförs med hjälp av IT-stöd. Termen symboliskt aktivt medborgarskap föreslås illustrera det legitima aktiva medborgarskapet. Processen att bli aktiv adresseras utförligt i denna avhandlingsom också diskuterar variationer som proaktivitet och aktiv passivitet. Dessa processer medieras också i processer av lärande i och genom olika intressegemenskaper. Aktiva deltagare alternerar mellan att vara aktiva och aktivt passiva i dessa läroprocesser som både omformar och befäster vilka aktiviteter som skall benämnas eDeltagande. Detta flytande medborgarskap har konsekvenser för framtida IT-design och hur deltagande skall stödjas och stimuleras. Samspelet mellan det symboliska eDeltagandet och organisatorisk och civil formbarhet skapar lokalt utrymme för förhandlingar och lokal anpassning av eDeltagande, vare sig det handlar om förberedelsestadierna eller efteranpassning av IT-applikationer, eller i ett faktiskt utförande av eDeltagande. ; http://www.bth.se/tek/iaw.nsf/Sidor/57bbac53d424e1fec12572d4005036f7!OpenDocumen t
Objetivos: El objetivo general es la necesidad de ubicar adecuadamente al documento administrativo electrónico como elemento central de la gestión dentro del nuevo marco de trabajo generado por la administración electrónica. De forma más específica, con esta investigación se pretende: • Conceptuar debidamente el documento administrativo electrónico, identificando los elementos que lo componen, los formatos que lo normalizan y sus distintas tipologías. • Analizar y constatar la serie de cambios que sobre la gestión de los actos administrativos impone la irrupción del documento electrónico, adecuándola a los tiempos actuales y … • … discernir cuál es la mejor manera de llevar a cabo la gestión del documento electrónico y de los procedimientos y tecnologías vinculados, adaptándolo pertinentemente al nuevo marco legal. Metodología: En la realización de nuestra investigación, se ha tenido en cuenta el siguiente conjunto de consideraciones y operaciones: • En primer lugar, se ha elaborado una presentación general del concepto de documento administrativo, analizando detenidamente su estructura, contenido y sistemas de clasificación. • En los últimos años se ha desarrollado una amplia producción normativa para habilitar la aplicación de las TICs a los procedimientos administrativos de las AA.PP. Esto ha permitido desarrollar un nuevo concepto: el documento administrativo electrónico, que hemos definido y contextualizado debidamente. • Por mandato legal, las AA.PP. al cambiar los sistemas de gestión y adaptarse al documento administrativo electrónico, deben recomponer los modos de funcionamiento tradicionales, cuyos orígenes se pierden en el tiempo en algunas ocasiones, de manera que hemos reflexionado sobre esa imperiosa necesidad de rediseño de los distintos actos administrativos, proponiendo posibles soluciones que los adapten a la nueva realidad. • Como no podía ser de otro modo, las técnicas de Archivo y de Gestión Documental han estado presentes en el momento del análisis. • Tras todo este análisis se procedió a identificar los aspectos clave de este nuevo paradigma intentando aportar una propuesta de gestión que contribuya a afianzar y consolidar nuestra visión de la Administración Electrónica, considerando siempre al documento como el eje principal de la gestión. En nuestra investigación se ha aplicado el método deductivo (análisis de lo universal), entendiendo esto como lo recogido en el marco jurídico, principalmente en la parte básica, a partir del cual se aplica en los casos particulares (los que cada Administración Pública tendrá que abordar en la implementación de los procedimientos administrativos).También se emplea el método inductivo (obtención de conclusiones generales a partir de algo particular). Se basa en la observación y registro de los hechos analizados, su clasificación, la derivación inductiva y su contraste. Bajo esta perspectiva se han estudiado las normas y herramientas TICs disponibles que nos permitirán introducir una mejora en el procedimiento objeto de análisis. Conclusiones: Es un hecho evidente que Administración Pública y Tecnología se dan la mano. La escritura y la construcción de documentos han supuesto para el hombre la delimitación de los momentos más importantes de su existencia. Hoy en día estamos ante el gran reto de introducir una dualidad en la naturaleza del documento, en la medida que se emplean indistintamente los creados en soportes físicos (fundamentalmente en papel) y los que se construirán por medios electrónicos. Estamos convencidos de que una de las tareas más eficientes que se pueden hacer desde las direcciones de las distintas Administraciones, es la puesta en común de estas herramientas. El tipo de documento que contempla nuestra propuesta posee una doble vertiente: ser capaz de transmitir la información que contiene, tanto a un ser humano como a un sistema informático. Para ello se han incluido textos literales, destinados fundamentalmente a la lectura por el hombre, así como datos agrupados en tablas preparadas para la interoperabilidad entre sistemas informáticos. Nuestra propuesta de construcción de documentos administrativos electrónicos desde el ERP de gestión, pretende resolver un conjunto de problemáticas con las que actualmente nos encontramos, así como adelantarnos a situaciones venideras, como es el caso del próximo derecho del que dispondrán los ciudadanos para acceder a los documentos que obren en poder de las Administraciones. Nuestra propuesta de construcción de los documentos administrativos electrónicos por capas secuenciales es una técnica integrable en cualquier aplicación informática. Se trata de una propuesta de elaboración de los documentos fruto del análisis de cada uno de los elementos que componen el documento y su traslación, modificación, incluso eliminación, al mundo electrónico, pasando por el filtro del marco jurídico actual. Cada una de las capas que intervienen contiene un conjunto de atributos, entre los que destacan si contiene datos protegidos o reservados, así como los metadatos y los contenidos de estos. De esta forma, en la composición de cada capa, hay que establecer el texto o estructura de la tabla y datos contenidos, además de identificar si se puede establecer el metadato de forma automática. Esta forma de construir los documentos permitirá crear un conjunto de copias auténticas, totales y parciales, que responderán de forma automática al acceso a los documentos, en función del rol de la persona interesada. Esto es importante en los documentos que contienen datos protegidos por la LOPDP, ya que actualmente disponemos de un sistema dual, en la medida que ante la solicitud de acceso a estos documentos no se permitirá su consulta por contener datos que están protegidos, si bien habría que permitir la consulta al resto del documento. Este problema sólo tiene solución por medio de la construcción de copias auténticas parciales generadas automáticamente por todas las capas que no contengan el atributo «protegido» y/o «reservado». Otra novedad aportada es la técnica de construcción de los documentos encadenados mediante la inserción de un metadato, (el que contiene el hash del primer eslabón). Esta propuesta resuelve la situación que se plantea cuando un documento ha sido corregido, modificado o revocado por otro posterior. Es indispensable que ante la demanda al gestor documental de cualquiera de ellos, el sistema devuelva el conjunto de todos los documentos que componen la cadena, ya que de no hacerlo así, estaría informando sesgadamente, pudiendo dar lugar a confusión, desinformación y ocultamiento. El estudio desarrollado en la elaboración de esta tesis doctoral nos ha permitido construir la técnica que proponemos y que permite devolver al documento todo el protagonismo que ha tenido desde que Alfonso X el Sabio instauró su uso y que parecía haber ido perdiendo en favor de los datos. Con el apoyo de un marco jurídico innovador y aplicando reingeniería de procesos, se ha construido una técnica de elaboración de documentos administrativos electrónicos que, no solo resuelve algunas deficiencias observadas y ancladas en las prácticas administrativas, sino que aporta un mayor grado de seguridad jurídica para el ciudadano, moderniza la administración (situándola en el siglo XXI), a la vez que se da cumplimiento al precepto constitucional de eficacia, eficiencia y economía. The public administrative document, its electronical and technological enviroment and legal framework: a proposal for a paradigm shift. Autor: Rafael Ferrando Martínez Objectives: The overall objective of this thesis is the need to properly locate the electronic administrative document as a central element in the new management framework generated by eGovernment. More specifically, this research aims to: • Properly conceptualize the electronic administrative document, identifying its composition (elements), normalizing formats and types. • Analyze and verify the number of changes introduced on the management of administrative proceedings that imposes the emergence of the electronic document, adapting to the times and . • . discern what is the best way to carry out the management of the electronic and related technologies and procedures, appropriately adapted to the new legal framework. Methodology: During the conducting of our research, we have taken into account the following set of considerations and operations: • First, we has developed a general overview about the concept of administrative document, carefully analyzing their structure, content and classification systems. • In recent years, it has developed a wide legal framework to enable the application of ICT to the administrative procedures of the goverments. It has allowed to develop a new concept: the electronic administrative document, that we have defined and properly contextualized. • Goverments are required by law to change and adapt their management systems to the electronic administrative document. So, they must recompose the traditional modes of management, whose origins are lost in time sometimes. We reflected on the urgent need to redesign of individual administrative acts, proposing possible solutions that adapt to the new enviroment. • Obviously, the techniques of Archives and Records Management has been present in the procedures analysis. • After all this analysis, we tried to identify the key aspects of this new paradigm in order to introduce a new management proposal that contributes to strengthen and consolidate our vision of eGovernment, always considering the document as the main focus of te management. In our research, has applied the deductive method (analysis of the universe), understanding it as enshrined in the legal framework, especially at the basic, from which applies in particular cases (which each Government needs to addressed in the implementation of administrative procedures). We also have used the inductive method (obtaining general conclusions from something particular situation). It is based on the observation and recording of the events analyzed, their classification, referral and contrast inductive. In this perspective, we have studied the available ICT standards and tools that allow to introduce an improvement in the analysed procedures. Conclusions: It is obvious that Governmets and Technology come together. The writing and document construction have led to men the record of the most important moments of their existence. Today, we have the challenge of introducing a duality in the nature of the document, to the extent that the created are used interchangeably in hardware (mostly on paper) to be built and electronically. We believe that one of the most efficient tasks to develop into the managemet of public documents is the sharing of these tools. The type of electronic document of our proposal has two aspects: it is able to transmit information containing both a human and a computer system. This has been included verbatim texts, mainly for reading by humans, as well as grouped data in tables prepared for interoperability between systems. Our proposed construction of electronic administrative documents from ERP management, aims to solve a set of problems with which we are currently and anticipate future situations related with the access to public documents by the citizens. Our proposal for the construction of electronic administrative documents by a sequential layered technique is easy to be integrated into any software application. This proposal is based on the analysis of each one of the elements of the document and its translation, modification, even elimination, to the electronic enviroment, through the filter of the current legal framework. Each of the intervening layers contains a set of attributes, among them whether sheltered or contains data and metadata and the contents of these. Thus, into the composition of each layer, must be established the text or table structure and the included data as well as identifying whether the metadata can be set automatically. This form of construction of documents will be able to create a set of partial certified copies, that automatically respond to access to documents depending on the role of the concerned person. This is specially important in documents containing data protected by the Data Protection Acts, as currently we have a dual system, to the extent that the request for access to these documents will not be allowed to contain query data that is protected, but would to allow consultation to the rest of the document. This problem can only be solved by building automatically generated partial certified copies with the layers that do not contain the attribute "protected" and / or "reserved". Another innovation introduced in our proposal is the chained construction technique of documents from the use of a metadata (which contains the hash of the first link). This proposal solves the situation that arises when a document has been corrected, amended or revoked by a later. It is essential to ask to the document management system of any of them, the system returns the set of all documents that make up the chain, since failure to do so, it would be reporting biased and may lead to confusion, misinformation and concealment. The study developed in the ellaboration of this thesis has allowed to us to build the proposed technique, that allows to return to the documents all the attention that they had since Alfonso X the Wise established their use, and which seemed to have been lost in favor of the data. With the support of a legal framework and implementing innovative process reengineering, we has built a processing technique of constructing of electronic administrative document that not only solves some shortcomings and anchored in administrative practices, but provides a greater degree of legal certainty for the citizens, streamlines management (placing it in the XXI Century), while giving effect to the constitutional precepts of effectiveness, efficiency and economy.
This report, City Development Strategy for Can Tho, was completed to portray the long term development strategy for the city of Can Tho in the Republic of Vietnam. The report states that within the next 20 years, Can Tho city will be a dynamic development for the whole Mekong Delta Region. As a centerpiece of the Mekong delta region, the southern part of Vietnam and the adjacent international regions. Can Tho will be a typical riverside city with a multi-center city system. It has the potential to become a center of hi-tech industry, trading, service and tourism; science and technology, healthcare and education-training, as well as a communication center for the entire Mekong delta.
The post-2015 development agenda is being shaped as we speak. The role of identity and identification and its importance to development outcomes places it within the new Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) agenda—specifically as one of the proposed SDG targets (#16.9), but also as a key enabler of the efficacy of many other SDG targets. Although there is no one model for providing legal identity, this SDG would urge states to ensure that all have free or low-cost access to widely accepted, robust identity credentials. Regardless of the modalities to achieve it, the recognition of legal identity – together with its associated rights – is becoming a priority for governments around the world. Political will is central, and the SDGs – unwieldy as they may seem today – provide a useful reference point for accountability. But new approaches expand the horizon of what is possible, and should serve as a stimulus to development ambition. Seizing these opportunities requires strong leadership, a supportive legal framework, mobilization of financial and human resources, and – critically – the trust of each country's residents. Incentives, technology, foreign assistance and reforms will all be critical in achieving tangible results. Equally important is coordination at the global, regional and national levels, to ensure inclusive oversight and concerted global action. Support from donors and other development partners is widely diffused. It could focus more strategically on building core systems for registration and – equally important – ensuring that these extend into effective and inclusive systems to support development.
The dynamic growth of mobile communications technology is creating opportunities for economic growth, social empowerment, and grassroots innovation in developing countries. One of the areas with the greatest potential impact is in the contribution that mobile applications can make to agricultural and rural development (ARD), by providing access to information, markets, and services to millions of rural inhabitants. For both agricultural supply and demand, mobile phones can reduce waste, make delivery more efficient, and forge closer links between farmers and consumers. This report provides policymakers and development practitioners with a guide that facilitates the development and deployment of mobile applications for ARD. It also informs their understanding of the key drivers for promoting such applications and services in their countries. Using James Moore's (1996) revised definition of ecosystems: economic communities based on interacting organizations and individuals the report identifies a wide range of players in the ecosystem for m-ARD apps, such as mobile network operators, m-app (mobile applications) providers, content providers, and various types of users. M-apps are software designed to take advantage of mobile technology and can be developed for technology besides mobile phones. But mobile phones have many key advantages: affordability, wide ownership, voice communications, and instant and convenient service delivery. As a result, there has been a global explosion in the number of m-apps, facilitated by the rapid evolution of mobile networks and by the increasing functions and falling prices of mobile handsets. M-apps are markedly different in developing countries because they typically run on second-generation (2G) phones rather than smartphones, which are far more common in developed countries. The report reviews country examples and extracts policy lessons and good practices. It also presents detailed studies of cases from Kenya, Philippines, and Sri Lanka, as well as summarizes 92 case studies from Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The goal is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the development impact, ecosystem, and business models for mobile applications in ARD. The report is intended to complement the recent ICT in Agriculture eSourcebook. One of the main findings is that an enabling platform (or platforms) is probably the most important factor for the development of m-ARD apps. Platforms can facilitate interactions among ecosystem players, increase access to users, provide technical standards, and incorporate payment mechanisms.
