Virtual town hall

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Virtual town halls can be viewed within the e-administration as a sub-area of a municipality's website that bundles the municipality's services.

Content management systems are an integral part of virtual town halls .

conditions

Citizens , companies and the municipality itself are interested in an optimal overall impression with easy access options (e.g. via life situations ) of the website. But the type of services (information, communication or transaction services) also play a role. One is particularly interested in transactions (e.g. fully electronic forms based on specialist procedures ).

An important legal basis for virtual town halls was created by adapting the administrative procedural laws to electronic communication in the years 2001 to 2004. The electronic signature is now recognized as a replacement for the manual signature and basically enables legally binding and legally secure transactions. However, due to the lack of distribution of the necessary signature cards in the population, the importance of electronic signatures for virtual town halls is still very low.
