“…As-Saber et al (2007) emphasise the need for a 'socio-technical' approach in e-Governance, as neither technology nor people alone can bring the success of e-Government. This is also true for m-Government.…”

Abstract:The great popularity and rapid diffusion of mobile technologies at worldwide level has also been recognized by the public sector, leading to the creation of m-Government. A major challenge for m-Government is accessibility -the provision of an equal service to all citizens irrespective of their psychical, mental or technical capabilities. This paper sketches the profiles of six citizen groups: Visually Impaired, Hearing Impaired, Motor Impaired, Speech Impaired, Cognitive Impaired and Elderly. m-Government examples that target the 2 aforementioned groups are discussed and a framework for accessible m-Government implementation with reference to the W3C Mobile Web Best Practices is proposed.

“…These profiles could be used to acquire knowledge about individual preferences and behaviours, for marketing purposes and for the prevention and detection of cyber attacks, fraud and other crimes, as well as terrorist activities (Gilliom, 2001). Data gathering and analysis activities of corporations, banks, lending institutions, health insurance agents, credit card and marketing companies were perceived as the primary sources of intrusion and obliteration of privacy (As-Saber et al, 2007;Becker, 2005;Clarke, 1998).

The security-liberty balance: individuals' attitudes towards internet government surveillance

In the Security-Liberty balance, individuals would weigh the benefits of government surveillance against what the cost would be to our civil liberties. Drawing on Social Cognitive Theory (SCT), this study empirically operationalises and tests citizens' attitudes towards internet government surveillance and discusses predictors of these attitudes that help elicit the notion of Security-Liberty balance through a survey study. We propose that individuals' internet self-efficacy and social awareness affect perceived need for government surveillance and government intrusion concerns. The study presents empirically tested relationships which are important for informing the debate and developing well-balanced policies of security protection and civil liberties.

It is based on the diffusion of the information and the information policy development. Electronic government guides to increasing citizens' participation and active citizens' development affecting the mechanisms of democracy. Electronic democracy (e-democracy) includes technological innovations that allow improvement and empowerment of democratic institutions with or without the use of internet. E-democracy aims the production of functional democratic processes like communication, information providing and decision-making after electronic public dialogue and voting. E-democracy is the cornerstone in a social system as citizens can have an active participation in the public issues.
