Korea has developed arguably the most advanced e-government as demonstrated by the records that the country is currently ranked sixth in the world on the UN E-Government Preparation Index, and, also ranked first on the E-Government Assessment of Brown University in the United States. As the e-government system has been established and well advanced, there has been increasing concerns about enhancing the efficiency of e-government and the quality of service to the public that are in fact the fundamental goals of the development of the e-government. As a way of substantially promoting the effects of e-government, in this paper, we propose ``An E-Government Impact Assessment System.`` The proposed e-government impact assessment system is an institutional mechanism that is applied to evaluate and thus secure the efficient operation of both existing and newly adopting administrative measures in accordance with the purposes of e-government. Since there is no case of such the e-government impact assessment system in any part of the world, it is critical to develop a feasible assessment model for the e-governance by reviewing various existing or upcoming impact assessment systems including environmental impact assessment, legislative assessment, regulation impact assessment and others. Based on there views, this paper sorts out the evaluating bodies, subjects, and procedures of the assessment of e-government, and suggests possible several strategies for eventual Legislative Assessment system.
