“…Electronic governance leads to an increase in citizens' participation, which affects the mechanisms of democracy. " [19] The unification of the concept of electronization and the process of providing freely available information to the population is called e-Government. It is therefore an electronization of platforms for state information systems, whose information flows from Individual surveys are carried out in the field of open data and their use and implementation.…”

Process of electronization is one of the milestones in the development of technological processes that leads to an improvement in the quality of life of citizens. The process of electronization is taking place all over the world. From the world leaders in the field of digitization of processes and data it is necessary to solve many things in the Slovak Republic, the development is in the right direction. The concept of national disclosure and delivery of important information is being addressed. The implementation of new information communication technologies and the introduction of processes have improved the awareness of citizens and businesses. By introducing open data into datasets, it also helps businesses to perform their activities more effectively. Open data contains non-personal data that is accessible to all and can be freely used, reused and distributed by everyone. This means that a certain type of data is available to everyone, in order to use and publish it at their own discretion, without restricting copyright, patents, or other control mechanisms. Improving aspects include raising awareness among citizens and businesses, improving the content of institutions providing such data, and so on. As part of the International Digital Economy and Society International Study, as well as the National Digital Economy and Society Index, a number of researches have been carried out that describe information and digitization. The paper lists the results of the survey focused on the ongoing development of the digital services.

“…On the other hand, some scholars express the fear that such direct democracy will contribute to nothing more than mob rule and careless policymaking, and that the abundance of information provided by the Internet will add to frequent misinformation that makes sensible political dialogue impossible (Hill & Hughes, 1998).Regardless of this opinion and other critiques (see Breindl, 2010), the new ICTs and especially e-participation tools, services and collaboration activities are being championed by variety of authorities, policymakers and other more or less institutionalized actors as invaluable features of the information-based network society and conceived as improving society (Spirakis, Spiraki, & Nikolopoulos, 2010).

The study examines some relevance of e-participation in achieving sustainable community development in Ghana. Information and Communication Technology has created an avenue to promote participation, transparency and trust when adopted by government. As a newly discovered political tool, ICT serves as a toolbox for reaching out and engaging the public on governmental policies thereby drawing government closer to citizens in policy and decision making. Through the use of secondary data, the study highlights the necessity for ICT and mostly importantly e-participation adoption in local government administration in Ghana. Citizens having enough access to their elected representatives and some basic public services through the provision of information communication and technology ensures effective and efficient communication between the government and the people at the local level, while it also provides a door for the citizens to receive feedbacks from the right local government quarters. The study concludes that e-participation enhances effective and efficient government service delivery and enhancing citizen"s active participation in local governance to ensure sustainable development.The paper recommends that the in other to ensure active participation of citizens, government should provide the necessary infrastructure and fast track the adoption of ICT and also the training of local government personnel in the art of e-participation through which sustainable community development can be fully attained in Ghana

“…We position such engagement as social awareness (Bickford and Reynolds, 2002;Green and Kamimura, 2003), which is considered a key component of consciousness-raising related to the impetus of social change movements (Bickford and Reynolds, 2002). A person with high social awareness will tend to better understand how a democracy works and exhibit greater interest in the US political system and government or community policies (Giroux, 1987;Spirakis et al, 2010;Swift, 1990). Previous research had linked social awareness to individuals' attitudes and cognitive development (Perry, 1970;Piaget, 1975;Tsui, 2000).…”

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.
