    Effects of e-government and GIS technology for developing services in education sector case study: Schools in Kirkuk City center
    (Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2014) Abdulrahman, Bashar Adnan
    The field of e-government has become an important subject around the globe because it refers to the delivery of government services by means of technology to save resources and bring governments closer to their citizens and to the private sector. This study underlines how most e-government projects require spatial datasets to improve public services. Pertinent examples already found/extant in the literature are examined, and investigating schools locations in Kirkuk city are selected for the case study. In parallel to the literature review, a study of the geographical distribution of schools is shown to be necessary such that land use for educational facilities occupies an unobjectionable part of the Kirkuk urban area, which in turn makes decision makers take this (land) use into account when the government is to establish city master plans. This thesis presents how establishing a working GIS in the education services would improve e-government applications due to the fact that GIS tools and facilities improve flexibility and accuracy in the management of both spatial and non-spatial datasets. As the measurements recognized by the EU and UN show, e-government initiatives need to be prepared above accurate, clean, timely and controlled shared datasets. Therefore, establishing strong databases and making legislative changes to enable data sharing among government agencies are found to be the primary targets of both central and local governments. The thesis shows that establishing a working GIS to provide services to students, teachers, citizens and decision makers in the education sector is technically feasible. However, the starting point ought to be collecting raw data from the field and ensuring that the data is updated in a timely manner, and not acquiring hardware and software. In so doing, Iraq can rank higher in international e-government measurement reports
