“…Geographical position is related to municipalities' geographical location. In this study, this variable can be explored as north (the value is 1), south (the value is 3), center (the value is 2), and islands (the value is 4), (Norris, 1984;Holden, Norris, & Fletcher, 2003;Moon & Norris, 2005;Albalate, 2010). The citizens' wealth is the value of the economic activity per capita.…”

New information and communication technologies are changing the relationship between municipalities and citizens. Municipalities are using Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube as social media to connect and interact directly with citizens. The aim of this study is to explore how municipalities use Facebook, construct a synthetic indicator to measure the use of Facebook by local government, and find out which drivers predict its diffusion through a quantitative methodology: ordinary least squares regression. A sample of Italian municipalities during 2013 is analyzed. The results suggest that the political position, the gender of the Mayor, the geographical position, the financial autonomy of municipalities, and the citizens' wealth seem to predict the diffusion of Facebook use by municipalities.

“…It is expected that, as e-government matures, there will be a plethora of benefits for governments, businesses, and citizens alike (Araujo & Grande, 2003;Holden, Norris, & Fletcher, 2003). Yet, how these benefits will be reached is still a matter of controversy.…”

With the advancement of information and communication technologies (ICTs), e-government has emerged as an effective means of delivering government services to citizens. In the recent past, e-government has become popular in many economically developing countries, yet there are numerous attempts to reinvent the wheel. This article argues that e-government initiatives in developing countries can be effectively implemented if experiences acquired by developed countries are shared proficiently. In this context, research was carried out to identify and compare issues pertaining to implementing e-government initiatives in a developed country (UK) and an economically developing country (Sri Lanka). This research identified a number of challenges common to the UK and Sri Lanka that can be classified into the broad themes of political, organizational, and technical contexts. Conversely, a number of e-government adoption challenges such as lack of ICT literacy, inadequate ICT infrastructure, and inability to access e-government services using local languages were also identified that were more specific for the Sri Lankan context. To address these e-government adoption challenges, ICT training coupled with multilingual e-services was recognized as the key enabler in a developing country context. C 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
