Development of site list for actual situation of web map service in all local governments

Development and update of geospatial information by public sectors, such as "Integrated GIS" or "Digital National Land Information", has been conducted since in the late 1990's. Moreover, "Basic Act on Promotion of Utilization of Geographical Information (NSDI Law)", which was legislated in 2007, leads us to the second stage. On the other hands, local governments as service providers to residents are forced to restructure their services because of tight budget and staff reduction, in spite of decentralization. Considering this situation, it will be necessary to objectively evaluate their status of information provision through web site using map, based on the objective evidence. In this study, we collect information of web site providing web map service thorough the Internet in all local governments by visual confirmation. Moreover, we give qualitative and quantitative analysis of service level, and publish the list data of all web sites, contributing to various analyses or policy makings by various people.
