| Popis: | Developers and managers of websites are key players in conveying the transparency of governments. Although previous research has highlighted the need for further progress in transparency on sustainability, very few studies have considered how websites can better contribute to providing sustainability information. This paper identifies determinant factors that can help website developers and managers enhance the online transparency on sustainability provided by regional governments. In an empirical study of 17 Spanish regional governments, we identified technological factors (such as broadband availability and the online compilation of information) and transparency-stimulating factors (such as convergence with the information society, accessibility and usability) that can be useful to increase the volume of social, economic and environmental information published on their websites. |
