Special Issue Information
Overview. The United Nations, Department of Economic and Social
Affairs, have defined Seventeen Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs), which include concepts such as (1) no poverty, (2) zero
hunger, (3) good health and wellbeing, (4) quality education, (5)
gender equality, (6) clean water and sanitation, (7) affordable
and clean energy, (8) decent work and economic growth, (9)
industry, innovation, and infrastructure, (10) reduced
inequalities, (11) sustainable cities and communities, (12)
responsible consumption and production, (13) climate action, (14)
life below water, (15) life on land, (16) peace, justice, and
strong institutions, and (17) partnership for the goals.
Over the past two decades, public administrations around the world
and at all levels and branches have embarked on numerous
modernization initiatives and improvement measures that heavily
rely on modern information and communication technologies (ICTs).
These efforts and outcomes have commonly been labeled “Digital
Government”, which per definition encompasses the use of
information technology to support government operations, engage
citizens, and provide government services. Digital Government can
be viewed at least through four lenses, all of which can be set
into relationship to the seventeen SDGs: (1) ICTs in government
operations and management, (2) ICTs in democracy and citizen
engagement, (3) ICTs in government services, and (4) ICTs in
public policy.
Obviously, the intersections between the various SDGs and the four
lenses of digital government provide a vast array for
investigating and evaluating current practices as well as
identifying and describing future opportunities for advancing the
seventeen SDGs by means and methods of digital government, which
as an outcome would help to make the overall human experience
sustainable, but even more so provide the entire global biosphere
(humans included) with a safe and livable space.
We invite submissions of high-quality papers that employ
quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method research approaches.
In addition to single-discipline-based studies, we explicitly
encourage the submission of multidisciplinary and
interdisciplinary research reports including human–computer
interaction and design studies. We also welcome submissions that
employ qualitative approaches such as participatory action
research, citizen science, and case studies, but also quantitative
approaches, for example, computer simulations such as system
dynamics and agent-based modeling along with artificial
intelligence and machine-learning-based studies.
Relevant topics include but are not limited to
* Digital government services for addressing the seventeen UN
SDGs;
* ICT-supported citizen engagement for addressing the seventeen UN
SDGs;
* ICT in government operations and management the seventeen UN
SDGs;
* ICT and Public Policy with regard to the seventeen UN SDGs;
* Data visualization and dashboards to track progress regarding
SDGs;
* Laws and regulations for data-driven policy making;
* Laws, regulations, and practices of open data for sustainable
development goals;
* Governance of public–private collaborations for sustainable
development goals;
* Government policies and projects to promote more sustainable
government operations;
* Government and their role in developing local food sheds through
policy and institutional actions such as institutional
procurement;
* Smart governance models and their impact on urban and hinterland
resilience;
* The interplay of urban and hinterland digital governments SDGs;
* ICTs implementation in smart governments and improvement of
citizens’ quality of life;
* Emerging technologies implementation in governments for higher
levels of development of smart and sustainable cities, hinterland,
and rural areas;
* Emerging technologies implementation for improving citizen
engagement in public decisions;
* Assessing the efficacy of ICT implementations in government for
changing social urban and hinterland structures;
* Evaluation of the “smartness” of the government in the urban and
hinterland contexts;

goals;
* Theorizing about and analyzing the link between digital
