Classification and Ranking of Greek Agricultural and Environmental e-Governement Services

In recent years, the e-government revolution has induced transformational economic and social shifts around the world. The main objective of this paper is to analyze and rank the e-government agricultural services provided by the Greek government in Citizens Services Center web portal. For this reason an analysis of all the official e-government agricultural and environmental services was made. In order to characterize e-government evolution we use the four stage-model proposed by Layne and Lee (2001). The ranking of the environmental and natural resources subcategories was made with PROMETHEE II method in order to find which sector has proceeded in egovernment evolution stages. The results show that there is a need to increase the interaction between citizens and different government by providing more integrated e-government services.
