E-government is regarded as a critical tool in leapfrogging to a information society. E-government is a service oriented government that seeks to maximize the accessibility and efficiency of services provided to citizens and to increase administrative efficiency through government innovation.
The Korean government has aggressively driven 31 e-Government Projects since 2004. To strengthen this project, The e-Government Act was made as a fundamental law in legal framework related to e-government. This Act regulates electronic administration, administrative innovation and e-government projects.
However, electronic administration and administrative innovation laws overlap existing laws that already regulate these areas. Consequently, legal challenges such as how to reasonably regulate problems unique to the e-Government Act, and coordinating similar functions between existing laws have emerged.
This study intends to solve the legal challenges that have been raised in realizing an e-government that focuses on electronic services for citizens, public administrative information sharing, personal data protection, infrastructure construction, and implementation of e-government projects.
