“…Mirroring this, empirical studies show that citizens are wary to participate in e-participation where they feel their voices are likely to be ignored, or meaningfully engaged with by planning authorities (Cleland et al, 2012(Cleland et al, , Åström et al, 2013. Critically, citizen engagement with e-participation is primarily driven by their access to ICTs that would enable their participation, and the skills needed to use such ICTs (Maia Ribeiro et al, 2018, Gounopoulos et al, 2020.…”

“…A review of the e-participation literature also reveals a clear bias towards exploring eparticipation applications and challenges faced in developed countries, and a much more limited but emerging body exploring applications and challenges using e-participation in developing countries (See Table 1). The digital divide is cited frequently as a barrier to undertaking e-participation in both developed and developing countries, reflecting socioeconomic conditions, education, and demographics (Philip et al, 2017, Setthasuravich and Kato, 2020, Maia Ribeiro et al, 2018. The term digital divide is used to describe uneven skills and/or access to ICTs (and therefore exclusion from digital activities and processes), and remains a major barrier for planners and the public to engage with e-participation (Yigitcanlar, 2006).…”

“…While social media are harnessed effectively to promote e-Participation, the benefits of direct e-Participation are yet to be seen (Anupriya Khan & Satish Krishnan, 2017). The often recalled issues are the lack of genuine influence on public policy (Ribeiro et al, 2018) and the case of locking participants in unconstructive discussions that are disengaging both citizens and decision-makers (Porwol & Ojo, 2017). Scholars point out "power-distance" between the government and citizens as an essential matter that hinders constructive engagements (Vakeel & Panigrahi, 2018).…”

e-Participation depends on a community of users-citizens who constructively engage and collaborate with governments and decision-makers on key democratic and social matters. Effective serious communication requires meaningful social interactions supported by relevant community-building efforts. We argue that achieving that is more visible by engaging dialogue with a constructive shared viewpoint rather than thorough discussions or argumentation. The emerging social Immersive Virtual Reality technologies supply a novel mode of digital communication that brings an opportunity to overcome some of the challenges hindering e-Participation. In this paper, we present the key concepts and explore the principles of Dialogue in the context of serious communication. We link those principles with specific Immersive VR affordances and propose a Framework for Virtual-Reality-Mediated Serious Communication – VR-Dialogue. Finally, we discuss the implications of employing that framework to support e-Participation through an additional component: VR-Participation.

“…The government is trying to take advantage of social media in implementing egovernment so that people can use the services [4]. A Study by [5] explains that the researchers concluded that social media is a technology that plays a significant role in disaster response because the nature of social media removes communication barriers between communities and the government as well as between communities. Social media also provides facilities for the rapid and effective dissemination of information during an emergency.…”

The fact showed that social media is a potential and profitable platform to increase public interest in adopting e-government by conducting open interactions with societies. However, despite the many benefits of social media, the risk of using social media still exists if the government cannot control it properly, such as misuse of information by irresponsible people. So, an effective strategy is needed to maximize the advantages and minimize the disadvantages/risks of using social media in e-government. In addition, the success factors of social media in e-government for success in implementation. By taking a systematic review technically in journals published in 2017-2021. The study looks for positive and negative impacts, strategies, and success factors of social media in e-government. The results are obtained from the role, positive and negative impacts, strategies, and success factors of using social media in e-government. Next, it is necessary to carry out the same research based on country/region segmentation by considering economic, political, social, security, and cultural conditions so that the results are even more specific.
