This study aims to analyze the government information and service delivery to the rural citizen through UDC in Bangladesh. It used a descriptive and exploratory research design based on the quantitative approach. The sample comprised of 383 UDC users who were randomly selected. The data was gathered using questionnaire and analyzed through SPSS (statistical package for social sciences). The statistical findings showed that the overall perception of UDC users on the e-governance initiative found positive. Also, the results of the regression analysis show that the digital divide and good governance has a substantial impact on the overall perception of the user. It is, therefore, suggested that efforts should be instigated for improved awareness and training which helps ensure effective service delivery.
本研究旨在分析孟加拉国政府通过UDC向农村公民提供的信息和服务。本研究采用基于定量方法的描述性和探索性研究设计。样本由随机选择的383个UDC用户组成。采用问卷调查法收集数据,并通过SPSS (statistical package for social sciences)软件进行分析。统计结果显示,UDC用户对电子政务倡议的整体看法是积极的。此外,回归分析的结果表明,数字鸿沟和良好的治理对用户的整体感知有实质性的影响。因此,建议应努力提高认识和培训,以帮助确保有效地提供服务。
