Features: This book is a theoretical exploration and summary of the research project "Research and Demonstration Application of E-government Construction Using Domestic Software and Hardware" under the National 863 Program, based on the practical experience of e-government in Yantai City. The book analyzes the development trends of e-government both domestically and internationally, summarizes the experiences of e-government construction in small and medium-sized cities, and proposes a basic framework for e-government construction in these cities. It provides systematic planning and design for the architecture of comprehensive information platforms, portal websites, "one-stop" online approval systems, core government information systems, public service systems, key business systems, and citizen card systems. The book also comprehensively elaborates on the development and utilization of information resources, fundamental data exchange technologies, security systems, and the regulatory framework for e-government construction. The book proposes recommendations to accelerate the infrastructure development of e-government in small and medium-sized cities, achieve intelligent, networked, and digital operation of government information resources at the regional level, and enhance urban information service functions. These suggestions undoubtedly contribute to the leapfrog development of small and medium-sized cities. The book is written in simple and accessible language, is highly practical, and can serve as an important reference for e-government construction in small and medium-sized cities. It can also be used as a training textbook for civil servants in government and Party agencies, as well as a reading manual for the public to understand and participate in e-government. This book is a companion piece to "Integrated Application of Domestic Software and Hardware" and is part of the research team's synchronized achievements. The content is mutually complementary and can be used for reference.
