Public organisations, sustainability and technology

As responsive institutions, public organisations create public value in the interest of citizens and communities proceeding towards sustainability. In-formation and communication technologies (ICTs) and the Internet are driving public organisations to promote public interest and sustain active citizenship enhancing both collaboration and interaction between citizens and public ad-ministration. Technology helps public organisations to rediscover the meaning of relationship with citizens based on shared and common values seeking sus-tainability developing a knowledge management approach to increase openness and encourage active citizen participation.
