“…This understanding of active transparency is preferred in the present article. However, certain jurisdictions have recently developed regulatory frameworks that specify what information must be released by governments online (Corrêa et al, 2016;Pernagallo & Torrisi, 2020).…”

“…Corrêa et al (2016) focused on the application of the Brazilian FOI lawwhich includes precise requirements regarding proactive disclosure of informationat the municipal level. In Italy, Pernagallo and Torrisi (2020) investigated the introduction of a new regulation in 2009, according to which municipal government websites must proactively publish specific information such as remunerations earned by the authorities. Their findings indicate that multiple municipalities are refraining from fully complying with the law and that additional efforts must be made, echoing Oliver's remark (2004, p.33) that "transparency is a journey, not a destination.…”

“…In the Public Administration (PA) literature, these laws are usually regarded as the passive form of transparency, which relates to the disclosure of information on a constrained basis, following the submission of a request by organizations or individuals (Grimmelikhuijsen et al, 2019). In certain cases, administrations are also required by law to disclose specific items on the web (Pernagallo & Torrisi, 2020). In contrast, in the active form, governments release information voluntarily to the population, market their services, or engage with citizens in decision-making (Chun & Cho, 2012).…”

Government transparency has been widely commented through the adoption of freedom of information laws. Several studies have shown a positive effect of access to information on government transparency. This contribution, based on a quantitative analysis of 2,222 Swiss municipalities, adds to the literature by combining disclosure of information on municipalities' websites and constrained release of information. The findings indicate that more proactive transparency practices are not observed in regional entities that have enacted transparency laws.Nevertheless, they also indicate that levels of proactive transparency are slightly higher in municipalities where freedom of information has been implemented for a long time.

“…Another debate about transparency measurement has arisen [23,67,99,105,106]. A first set of proposals for measuring government transparency were based, primarily, on objective indicators captured from a heterogeneous group of indexes and rankings [13,[107][108][109]. A second group proposed the measurement of transparency based on perceptions that internal and/or external stakeholders have about government transparency [22,[110][111][112][113].…”

Assessing the Influence of Strategic Resources on the Quality of Life in Spanish Cities

Quality of life (QoL) is both a main concern of good local governance and an indicator of city performance. A key question to answer is that of what resources have the potential to enhance city performance, thus providing added value to stakeholders. By adopting a resource-based view (RBV), this paper explores the relationships between a group of strategic resources (e-government, transparency, and reputation) and QoL in a sample of 78 Spanish municipalities. Our study makes a contribution by providing an original design of a set of relations among our own selected resources and between them and quality of life. In order to test those relations, we define and create four constructs by using four different data sources and structural equation modeling (SEM). The results show a positive influence of resources on QoL, which is supported by a number of positive direct and indirect interactions among them. This means that municipalities with better strategic resources in local governments exhibit a higher level of quality of life.

Self-employment in the Russian Federation is a special tax regime; tax on personal income is a simplified form of entrepreneurship. The self-employed are often associated with freelancers. The exponential growth of information increases uncertainty, and the development of digitalization levels out uncertainty. This work analyses the factors influencing the digitalization development of self-employment as an integral indicator that can affect the sustainability of self-employment. The main method used is a topological method based on the polymerase chain reaction method, as well as the model based on fuzzy sets theory – Mamdani fuzzy inference algorithms. The data for the study were collected through a survey posted on Google Forms. The respondents were experts in the self-employment sector. Eight people participated in the survey (4 – self-employed; 4 – university professors). The self-employed comprised the following areas: developer – 1; service worker – 1; online marketer – 1; musician, event host – 1. Further calculations were performed in Mathlab. According to the study results, the level of factors in the development of self-employed digitalization is 0.502, which corresponds to the third interval of the five-level classifier and has growth potential.
