Abstract

V AN DER MEER A. and V AN WINDEN W. (2003) E-governance in cities: a comparison of urban information and communication technology policies, Reg. Studies 37 , 407-419. Throughout Europe, urban information and communication technology (ICT) policies are becoming more significant. Using examples from various cities, this paper describes and analyses the local manifestation and dynamics of the information society. In a conceptual framework, we make a distinction between three interdependent types of "footprints' of ICTs in urban areas: access, content, and infrastructure. For each of these dimensions, we describe and compare current urban ICT policies. We focus on the way local governments involve other urban actors in the design and implementation of ICT policies. Although cities feel the need to engage in new types of strategic partnerships, they are struggling to find appropriate partnership models. V AN DER MEER A. et V AN WINDEN W. (2003) Les systemes de gouvernement electroniques: une comparaison des politiques de technologie de l'information et de la communication urbaines, Reg. Studies 37 , 407- 419. Partout dans l'Europe, les politiques de Technologie de l'Information et de la Communication (TIC) urbaines deviennent de plus en plus importantes. A partir des etudes de cas provenant de diverses villes, cet article cherche a presenter et a analyser les signes et la dynamique de la socie te de l'information. Dans un cadre conceptuel, on distingue dans les zones urbaines trois types de "traces' de TIC entrelaces: l' acces, le contenu, et l'infrastructure. Pour chacun de ces traces, on presente et compare les politiques de TIC actuelles. L'etude porte sur la facon dont l'administration locale implique d'autres agences urbaines dans la conception et la mise en oeuvre des politiques de TIC. Bien que les villes eprouvent le besoin de s'engager dans de nouveaux genres de partenariat strategique, elles ont du mal a trouver des mode les de partenariat qui conviennent. V AN DER MEER A. und V AN WINDEN W. (2003) E-Verwaltung in Stadten: Ein Vergleich stadtischer Bestrebungen betreff Einsatz von Informations-und Kommunikationstechnologie, Reg. Studies 37 , 407-419. In ganz Europa nimmt Stadtpolitik betreff Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologie (ICT) an Bedeutung zu. Unter Zuhilfenahme von Beispielen verschiedener Stadte beschreibt und analysiert der vorliegende Aufsatz o rtliches Auftreten und Dynamik der Informationsgesellschaft. In einem konzeptualen Rahmen wird zwischen drei wechselseitig von einander abhangigen " Fussspuren' typen von Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien in stadtischen Gebieten unterschieden: zwischen Zugang, Inhalt und Infrastruktur. Fur jede dieser Dimensionen werden gegenwartig verfolgte stadtische ICT Bestrebungen beschrieben und verglichen. Die Autoren konzentrieren ihre Aufmerksamkeit auf die Art und Weise in der Gemeindeverwaltungen andere stadtische Teilnehmer in Entwurf und Ausfuhrung der ICT Bestrebungen miteinbeziehen. Obwohl Stadte die Notwendigkeit einsehen, sich in neuen Typen strategischer Partnerschaft zu engagieren, fallt es ihnen schwer, passende Partnerschaftsmodelle zu finden.
