Recently, the waves of great information society are pervading the world. In this environment, I want to suggest the effective alternatives for the enlargement of computer-use in public administration on local government. For the accomplishment of this task, I survey the articles and books about the computerization of public administration. interview public servants on local government, and use the questionnaire to examine the cognitive conditions of on-job workers.
First, analyze the theoretical framework of the computerization of public administration. The contents are the coming of information society and the response of public administration. Also there are the descriptions of the characteristics of local government, of the concept and structure of computerization of public administration, and of the analytic model of this study.
Second, I study the present conditions of computer-system equipments on local government - Kyungju City, Pohang City, Kyungju County, and Youngil County and survey the cognitive conditions of public servants about the utilization of computer system.
And I analyze the prior-rank of computer-program development among many public affairs on local government through the cognitive survey of public servants.
The result of analysis reveals that the local governments try to achieve various endeavors for the computerization of public adminsistration in the respect to physical and human resources and suggests the following facts.
l) The majority of public servants on local government perceive the importance and necessity of the computerization of public administration
2) The large ratio of public servants on local government received the training of computerization and used the computer in usual jobs.
3) But the major purposes of using the computer in public administration are not for producing the information of decision making and practicing the quantitative analysis of data, but for writing the documents and reports and saving and retrieving the data.
4) the major utilities of using the computer in public administration are perceived to be the frugality of time and costs.
5)The reasons that public servants are not using the computer to jobs are the sortage of theirs computer-knowledge and the nonexistanse of proper computer program about their jobs.
6)The major constraints of progressing the computerization of public administration on local government are the sortage of budget and the paucity of special manpowers.
7)And the general result of the priori -ra11k program analysis of the computerization of public administration is that the best important programs in each area are the local tax system, the civilian information system and the financial-accountant system. The concrete results of each regional analysis are differ-ant to the characteristics of each local area.
Third, I suggest the following developmental alternatives for the computerization of public administration in respect of these analysis.
l) For the successful practice of the computerization, the institutional and operational methods are supplemented on local government.
2) The public servants perceive the importance and necessity of computerization of public administration, but the positive incentives computerization are not operated on local government. Thus there are to be the training system and the proper of supporting system progressing the computerization of public administration.
3) The developmental program of software for public administration must practiced relevantly to the need of each local government.
