This workshop is a working meeting of the Smart Cities and Smart Government Research-Practice Consortium. The main goal of the workshop is to continue conversations started since 2012 among teams of researchers interested in doing collaborative work by sharing protocols and data with the purpose of advancing knowledge in the area of smart cities and smart government. The workshop will welcome researchers that are current members of the Consortium and welcome to the discussion those interested in learning more about the Consortium. This workshop will build on SCSGRP Consortium meetings held at dg.o 2015, IFIP/egov 2015, and HICSS2016.

In this paper, we propose a study to examine the effect of psychological distance on people's intention to contribute to disaster responses. Following past research, we predict that people are more likely to engage in news reporting a disaster when they perceive the event close to rather than far away from them. Accordingly, they will be more likely to share related information and make donation to a disaster relief campaign. To test our prediction, in a proposed experiment we will ask participants to estimate the distance to an earthquake recently occurred in Sumatra, Indonesia. Participants will then describe their feelings in response to the message, rate the likelihood of forwarding information, and estimate how much they would like to donate. We expect our results to reveal the relationship between perceived distance and people's willingness to participate in disaster rescue, particularly sharing of information and donation to charities. This work contributes to existing literature researching the role of psychological factors in crisis information diffusion. We provide suggestions for practitioners to better organize disaster relief activities, so that the negative impacts on people and society, caused by a devastating event, can be mitigated.

Despite previous studies on comparing open data policies and identifying their challenges, little is known about open data policy innovation diffusion in Australia, one of earlier adopters of open government/open data policies and a leading e-government nation worldwide. Drawing on innovation diffusion theory and its application to public policy innovation research in political science, we examine Australia's open data policy diffusion patterns at federal and state government levels. Australian early adopters of open data policies are positively associated with the level of openness of their open data portals. Portal openness is measured by the number of public datasets proactively and systematically published through their data portals. They are also positively associated with the efficacy of policy entrepreneurs, which are lead departments/agencies responsible for pushing open data policies against the existing barriers in the governments. Their efficacy is measured by the relatively high rank in the measure of open data portal openness.

Governments use Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in various ways to include the public into decision-making processes, and online public participation is one of the participatory activities included in open government plans. Using data from comments posted on an online deliberative platform initiated by a municipal government, this paper explores how ideation naturally emerged in the deliberation process and examines the role of participants in each stage of the ideation process. We identified five dimensions in the ideation process: idea proposal, idea reception, idea development, idea closure, and idea implementation. In the online forum that we examined, the comments referred to idea reception, idea development, and idea closure. We found that the dimensions and patterns of ideation were related to the level of controversy of particular issues. More specifically, when we examined the ideation processes by level of idea controversy, we observed that more disagreements led to more activity in stage I of idea development (informing, commentary, and clarifying). We also identified nine different roles performed by participants: supporting, disagreeing, informing, clarifying, commentary, arguing, expanding, wrapping, and mobilizing. This paper concludes with lessons for the design and implementation of online public participation processes.

The purpose of local governments is to facilitate the well-being of communities and regions. Through the provision of different public goods and services local governments have the mission to provide security and stable conditions for individuals and firms by ensuring the necessary public infrastructure and amenities for their activities in the region, such as water supply, roads, waste disposal, parks, schools, and other public functions decentralized in the case of federal systems, among others. Many of these public goods and services are ICT-enabled, and therefore are included within the local digital government strategy. This is the context of digital government initiatives in municipal governments. The critical question for any local government in terms of digital government initiatives is how should they be provided and financed? Assessing this question of whether these ICT-enabled goods and services related to digital government might be more likely to be provided and funded, this article propose a model that embraces the concepts of public good and externalities from the economic perspective in order to provide a useful basis for developing a framework for financing digital government. This article describes a proposal for this framework based on these concepts and applies it in the case of several digital government initiatives undertaken by the City of Aguascalientes, Mexico. This framework applies to local as well as state and national levels of governments. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

Governments and public agencies are publishing data on the Web, called Open Government Data (OGD), without restrictions for its sharing and reuse. This growing interest has motivated Brazilian Government Administrations to launch Open Data initiatives. As a consequence, in the last years, several Brazilian Open Data portals have been launched. Nowadays, there is a huge number of OGD portals from different countries and a lot of effort has been made to evaluate them. Although Brazil is one of the leaders of the Open Data initiative in South American and one of the founders of the Open Government Partnership, there are no comprehensive reports about the current Brazilian OGD scenario. In this context, we evaluated 13 Brazilian OGD portals according to several criteria ranging from the volume of data available to the quality of the data. As part of the results, we found that quantity and size of datasets are very diverse, CSV is the most used data format, at least 47 different data formats have been used to publish Open Data and most of the Brazilian Open Data portals use the CKAN platform. In this paper, we present and discuss the research method and the results of our work.

The purpose of this research is to develop a new model beyond e-Government in Korea where has been accomplish rank number one in the UN e-Government Survey three times consecutively. Even though there are astonishing achievements of Korean government in e-Government initiatives, the next or the future competency of Korean Government seems not to be unpredictable due to rapid shifts in technologies, economies, societies as well as environmental settings. Therefore, the D.gov Korea research group which is a think-tank for advancing the future e-Government has been established under the leadership of e-Government Planning Team in Department of e-Government at National Information Society Agency (NIA). This study shows the outcomes of D.gov Korea research group in order to ignite discussion and discourses of the future model of e-Government so called 'Digital Government' as a new prototype to go beyond old one. New vision, strategies and future challenge will be discussed.
