Development of Mobile e-Participation System to Enhance e-Government Performance

Development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has been growing very fast. Utilization of ICT strongly supports the implementation of e-Government to produce quality information quickly and accurately. Government of Indonesia has been experiencing some problems in the implementation of e-Government such as rating of Indonesia's e-Government is still low compared to the Southeast Asia countries, the lack of e-Participation system which can involve citizen participation in development based on information and communication technology, and there is no system that can help the government in decision making and create policies based on citizen input. The purpose of this research is to develop e-Participation system in the government case study in the provincial government of Central Java Indonesia based on information and communication technology that involve citizen participation in development. In this research, we choose to develop e-Participation system that is required. This could provide flexibility in development process by adjusting demand in the developed system. With the establishment of e-Participation system that can support e-Government is expected to be established communication with the government through the citizen or society participation as agent using information and communication technology in the development process. Government can implement the decisions and create policies more quickly and precisely.
