摘要

This paper analyzes each kind of influence factors on access amount of Chinese provincial government portals from macroscopic aspects to microscopic aspects, which include the level of economic development, population, culture and education, the information technology development and the design quality of the government portals. A multiple regression model is built to analyze every factor's contribution to the access amount of provincial government portals, and we find that there is a period of accumulation in the development of Chinese provincial E-government. When at the stage of the accumulation period, all the influence factors have little positive effect on the access amount of provincial government portals, and once passing through the accumulation period they will play their duo role. Then we give some interpretation basing on the conditions of China. In the end, some suggestions are proposed to increase the access amount and improve the service level of provincial government portals.
