E-government will develop so completely by 2012 that after an online notification to a village office, citizens will see their change of home address for mail services, children's transfer to new schools and everything else taken care of automatically. Meanwhile, IT infrastructure will become even more sophisticated and the speed of Internet connections will increase 10-fold.
The Ministry of Public Administration and Security on Wednesday released an e-government blueprint in the presence of President Lee Myung-bak.
So far, the e-government project has focused on taking administrative business online. Over the next four years, the government is determined to combine information and application services online.
In the future, anybody can receive all kinds of administrative services through a single online connection whenever or wherever they want, the government says. The system will be overhauled so that anybody can file all civil applications or petitions online. There will be an e-document management center that all government agencies can use to take care of them.
There will also be an IT-based system of food distribution and tracking, allowing anybody to check the names, photos and addresses of food producers and distribution routes on the label using easy-to-carry reader devices that can be attached to mobile phones.
