Digital Governance in Public Administration: Enhancing Transparency Through E-Government Platforms

Abstract

This article discusses the role of digital governance in public administration with a focus on how e-government platforms can improve government transparency and accountability. Using a qualitative approach through the library research method, this study analyzes various theories, policies, and case studies related to the implementation of e-government in various countries. In the digital era, governments are required to be more open and responsive to the needs of the community, where transparency is a key element to building public trust. The e-government platform offers technology solutions that enable real-time access to public information, speed up bureaucratic processes, and strengthen public participation in decision-making. The results of the study show that the implementation of digital governance through e-government can significantly reduce corruption, improve administrative efficiency, and expand public involvement in public policy supervision. However, challenges such as the digital divide, data security issues, and bureaucratic cultural resistance are still the main obstacles to its implementation. The study also found that the success of e-government is greatly influenced by factors such as technological infrastructure, supportive regulations, and the readiness of human resources. By integrating the principles of transparency in digital governance, the government can strengthen public accountability and create an administrative system that is more effective and responsive to the needs of the community.
