Abstract
This paper examines the legal influences of the Basic Act on the Advancement of Utilizing Public and Private Sector Data on Local Governments. In addition to the personal information protection system, the Basic Act has many influences such as the definition of data, difference between the data and the “document”, and treatment of merely numeric data. It is also necessary to consider the procedure of appeal examination or relevant alternative procedure, and the burden of the expense when using it. This paper does not deal with issues related to the security of the future, and this will be the future challenge.
