ABSTRACT Recent literature on transparency claims that e-government-enabled transparency through websites may be conditioned by political and social factors. Being more transparent while conducting its activities and political responsibilities has been the response of governments to citizens’ demand for access to public information. This paper analyzes if political and social conditions influence transparency in Portuguese municipalities. The results show that political ideology, electoral turnout, proximity of elections, citizens’ access to Internet and geographic location influence municipalities’ transparency. The analyses are based on panel data from all 308 Portuguese municipalities.

电子政务的透明度：选举和公民访问互联网对信息披露的影响

摘要关于透明度的最新文献声称，通过网站进行电子政务的透明度可能受政治和社会因素的制约。政府在履行其活动和政治职责时更加透明，这是政府对公民获取公共信息的需求做出的回应。本文分析了政治和社会条件是否会影响葡萄牙市政当局的透明度。结果表明，政治意识形态，选举投票率，选举临近程度，公民对互联网的访问权限和地理位置会影响市政当局的透明度。该分析基于来自所有308个葡萄牙城市的面板数据。
