| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have been recently witnessing the steady increase of the government’s public information supply for citizens. This information has enabled easier access for policy information to more people. Yet has such improvement in public information actually affected the ways in which we make policy decisions, and, if positive, in what way? By focusing on these questions, we examine the effectiveness of information supply, and provide citizens with universal access to policy information, regardless of their knowledge and abilities to utilize information technology and language. We have initiated data collection projects that have resulted in the development of a database on administrative information disclosure requests to the prefectural and municipal offices, and the launch of an internet video retrieval system for Diet deliberations in which one can pinpoint and play the parliamentary video clips corresponding to the minutes of proceedings through a keyword search.
