Abstract
Local electronic government makes it possible for residents to participate in administration via electronic meeting, local SNS (Social Networking Service), electronic monitor, and public opinion hearing. Municipalities also offer residents and enterprises services such as electronic applications and electronic bidding. It was investigated whether 222 municipalities of Tokyo prefecture and top two hundred municipalities of electronic city ranking (2007) offer these six information systems. Costs for introduction of these information systems were also investigated. A proportion of larger municipalities introducing five information systems except local SNS is higher, while smaller ones endeavor to introduce information systems at low costs.
