Evaluation of Information Availability about Decision-making on Selected Czech Municipal Websites.

Original language description

Public information availability respectively the disclosure of public information by state administration is regarded as the expression of the fulfillment of the principle of transparency and openness in the public administration. These principles play nowadays significant role in the modernization trends of public administration. They belong to principles of Good Governance, which were first defined in 1999, by SIGMA organization and gradually became the basis of efficient public administration in democratic states. Another important trend of contemporary public administration modernization is the development of citizen participation. This is the development of innovative tools that allow citizens to involve actively in decision-making processes of government. Transparency, openness and participation in public administration are currently significantly supported by the entry of modern technologies (Information and Communication Technologies) to this sector. One suitable means which allows better public access to information, greater transparency and citizen participation in decision-making is the development of e-government. This paper focuses on the e-government of local level, especially the disclosure of information on municipal websites. The research was done in the selected Czech municipal websites, where was evaluated the information availability rate about decision-making in the municipalities with extended competences and the availability of participation tools. There were analysed selected information available on the municipal websites in Moravian-Silesian region. The results of the research pointed out the shortcomings in publishing of information on municipal websites. There was also stressed the low level of citizen participation on local level of government in the monitored area.
