Abstract

By the increased information security, we performed questionnaires to realize current status of local government’s network system, especially convenience, usability, deterioration of internet connection environment, complexity of downloading/receiving file from the internet, etc. We conducted questionnaires to all the director of public health center of Japan in 2017.

From the questionnaire, there was many comments about the increased security issues. 66% knew about the distance training of the National Institute of Public Health. Moreover, 72% was able to access the remote training address of public health center director's computer. Furthermore, movie viewing availability was only 40%.

Although 47% is permitted for distance training, only 24% of the work is secured except for office desks, for on weekdays, due to telephone calls, customer response, most of them are supposed to take classes such as nighttime etc. Regarding viewing of motion pictures, we also speculated that most them are difficult to view, both network connection and timing.

It is now clear that due to the high security at the local government network system, system redesigning is required for the accurate action at the health crisis outbreak.
