Abstract:
[Purpose/Significance]Government open data has been in China for 10 years, however, the actual use of it has been criticised. This study analyses citizens' willingness to use government open data from their perspectives and constructs a model, aiming to promote in-depth research on citizens' use of government open data. [Methodology/Process] Meta-ethnographic qualitative research method was adopted to synthesise and integrate the 25 original studies. [Results/Conclusions] The study finally constructed a model of factors influencing citizens' willingness to use government open data, and identified four dimensions: "citizen", "platform", "government" and "environment". The four dimensions of "citizen", "platform", "government" and "environment" were identified, of which "citizen" involves "intrinsic motivation", "behavioural attitude", "information attitude" and "information security". The four dimensions of "Citizen" include "Intrinsic Motivation", "Behavioural Attitude", "Information Literacy", and "Demographic Characteristics", while the four dimensions of "Platform" include "Data Quality", "Information Literacy", and "Demographic Characteristics". platform" involves the sub-dimensions of "data quality" and "platform quality", "government" involves the sub-dimensions of "organisational conditions" and "policies and regulations", and "government" involves the sub-dimensions of "organisational conditions" and "policies and regulations". government" involves two sub-dimensions, "organisational conditions" and "policies and regulations", and "environment" involves two sub-dimensions, "social environment" and "type of context", with each sub-dimension having a different impact on the use of open government data by citizens. The different factors under each sub-dimension have different degrees of influence on citizens' use of open government data. Finally, suggestions are made to enhance citizens' willingness to use open government data.
