According to an independent yearly report evaluating public websites in 198 countries worldwide, Turkey’s public websites rank 9th this year, sharing the top ten with Asian and North American leaders as well as the United Kingdom (5th) and Portugal (7th). In comparison to last year’s results, Turkey achieved a dramatic leap by gaining 18 ranks, thus leaving EU countries behind.
The evaluation was conducted between June and July 2007 by Professor Darrell M. West and a team of researchers from the Center of Public Policy of the Brown University, Rhode Island, USA.
The findings of this seventh ‘Gobal E-Government’ report are based on the assessment of 1 697 national government websites; those of executive, legislative and judicial bodies but also of state agencies responsible for Health, Taxation, Education, Administration, Interior and more.
Websites were measured based on the presence of a wide range of features related to information availability, eGovernment services delivery and public access.
The assessed features include: online publications and databases, privacy policy and security features, disability access, presence of online services and number of different services, digital signatures and user payments, email address and website personalisation, comment forms, automatic email updates, personal digital assistant (PDA) access, English version of the website, etc.
