Abstract
This paper proposes a method that can be used in local government of the information society. By using this method, governments will be able to provide residents with information on infrastructure development projects efficiently. In this study the authors classified residents into types using Personal Involvement Inventory (PII) (Zaichkowsky, 1985) and examined their response to provided information. With the result of the experiment, the authors concluded that the tendencies of residents' consent to provided information differed according to type of resident classified by use of PII and to whether an evaluation was included in provided information. Base on our findings, electronic governments should measure the involvement of residents by use of PII when certifying the identity of residents who access the government over the Internet, and they should also provide residents with information through the method proposed.
