Description
The theme of the present graduation thesis was “Web-based city space on the example
of Võru city”, I consider its practical value to lie in the proposed suggestions for the
IT and communications specialist of the city government.
In this graduation thesis I have studied the importance of the web site of a small town,
and the opinion of two target groups concerning the renewed web site. The methods I
have applied were observation schedule based analysis, and multiple choice and free-
answer questionnaires. The observation schedule based analysis was used to map the
current situation.
In the theoretical part of the paper I have given an overview of the notion of
information society and of the development of information society in Estonia, mainly
attempting to incorporate the theoretical part from the point of view of the subject of
web-based city space. Creating a possible theoretical framework for defining
information society in the context of web-based city space was complicated, as the
concept of information society is rather wide and multi-faceted.
The multiple choice and free-answer questionnaires that were used as research method
answered the posed questions. As the main result of the research it transpired that the
web site is an important communication channel for the studied target groups, and the
renewed web site is considerably simpler and user-friendlier than the previous one
was.
To summarize, it may be said that in creating a web-based city space the issues that
must constantly be considered are the e- services and the hierarchical pattern of the
existing communication practices that will make it possible to create synergies
between the city government and the citizens.
