At the end of last year, we published a news item in which we reported on a study of our own that tried to show thestate in which were different aspects related to the electronic Administration in the Catalan city councils. A few months later, we believed interessant review the evolution of these same aspects by adding others that we believe complement the scenario of some of the obligations derived from current legislation on the matter.
Our aim is, first of all, to analyze how the implementation of e-government services in Catalan councils is evolving, but also to obtain clues as to which areas are the most difficult to implement and, consequently, to try to provide, if possible from the AOC Consortium, solutions that support or facilitate the necessary transformation of public services.
In this second edition, we have updated the issues covered in the first version of the study and expanded its scope. The following link will take you to Catalan municipal map where, by navigating through each municipality and clicking on it, you will access the information and the specific link on:
The website where the city council publishes its catalog of services.
The website where the city council offers cartographic information.
The website where the city council publishes the cartography of its town planning.
If the city council has a search engine on the web.
If the council sends electronic notifications.
If you accept electronic invoices.
If the city council exchanges data with other administrations.
If the city council offers its municipal register.
If the city council offers the change of address communication.
If the city council shares cartographic information of its own creation (metadata).
If the city council is a T-CAT registration entity.
If the city council is the registration entity idCat.
If the city council incorporates cartographic information in its internal management.
Please note that you may also find the following information:
The town hall website.
The website where the city council offers online procedures.
The website where the city council offers the possibility of processing an online application or generic application (understanding that this would allow to give a minimum compliance with the obligation to offer the possibility to the public to contact for any means).
The website of the electronic headquarters of the city council.
The website of the profile of the contractor of the city council.
Similarly, by using the sidebar menu, you can activate the different layers of information that will allow you to identify the level of implementation throughout Catalonia of the different services or, if you are interested,ereshealthy, combine different layers.
Evolution
From this second analysis we can draw the following conclusions:
Regarding the information offered by the councils from their websites:
The number of municipalities with a website has increased slightly (937), although there are still 7 that do not have one.
Only 53 municipalities explicitly offer their catalog of services.
Despite the increase compared to December (from 6 to 14) there are still few councils that have e-headquarters, one of the key elements in current regulations.
708 Catalan city councils, which represent 74,8% of the total, report on their contractual activity through the profile of the contractor. This is an increase of 6,7% over the previous analysis.
Almost half of the Catalan city councils (44,9%) offer cartographic information on their website. The percentage drops to 14,1% when it comes to publishing the cartography of its urbanism.
About half of the municipalities (478, 50,5%) have a search engine that facilitates access to web content.
Regarding procedures:
The number of Catalan city councils is increasing, offering the public the possibility of carrying out online procedures. There are currently 718 municipalities, representing 75,9% of the total, an increase of 2,1% over the previous analysis. In this sense, 599, 63,3% of the city councils, offer the generic instance in their catalog.
Even with very discreet results, some councils use notifications by electronic means (17 councils, 1,8% of the total) and agree to receive electronic invoices (23 councils, which represent 2,4% of the total municipalities)
With regard to the exchange of data between administrations, one of the main axes on which the new e-government model is based:
Although 707 Catalan town councils are already offering data from their municipal population register, only 87 town councils consult data from other administrations electronically, which representa 9,2% of the total.
Finally comment that:
12 municipalities are T-CAT registration entities and 106 areidCAT.
Only 9 municipalities use cartographic information in their internal management, which representa around 1% of the total.
As reported in the methodological note that closes this page, the information responds to a specific temporal reality. That's why
This information will be updated periodically.
Changes can be detected in the published information. In this case, if you wish, you can send us this information to oficinaprojectes@aoc.cat where it will be contrasted and, if necessary, updated.
Methodological note: The study was carried out during the period from 3 to 14 May 2010 by the staff of the Technical Office of the AOC Consortium on the basis of an exploitation of the information contained in the Search Engine database and by means of analysis. of the websites of the 946 Catalan city councils. The result of this analysis has been compared with the technical staff of the county councils, in accordance with the collaboration agreement that exists between the councils and the AOC Consortium.
