A Study of local government employees role in managing Local SNSs

Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the utility of Local SNSs and how they are managed by local governments. Recently, local SNSs have decreased. According to GLOCOM's research, the number of local SNSs was about 500 as of 2010, but as of 2013 the number of Local SNSs is about 300. In this research, the author carried out interviews with 13 local government employees. An analysis of these results shows that most of local governments did not participate in the administration of their SNSs.
