The objective of this research is to determine the forms and causes of discrimination in the services delivery provision of North Lampung population and civil registration agency. The research was a descriptive qualitative. Research results showed the prevalence of discriminatory practices in the delivery of services in the Population and Civil Registration agency in North Lampung Regency. Dissemination took forms of time required, and cost incurred to obtain services, attitude of service providers, and procedures that differed between those that applied to ordinary citizens (long and tedious) and for others (short and quick) that included the rich, officials, community leaders and relatives or acquaintances of population and civil registration agency. However, there was no evidence of discrimination in service delivery that was based on race and religion. Culture, as manifested in paternalistic form and bureaucratic hierarchy was the main cause of discrimination in the services delivery in population and civil registration agency. Thus, paternalism and bureaucracy culture underlie favoritism accorded to officials and rulers, individuals in key positions of government and society, and relatives and acquaintances of employees in the agency as opposed to other members of society.


This chapter has the objective of defining a practical framework to define an ISSP for government entities to enhance public service delivery in the digital era. However, before it defines this framework, the chapter addresses a number of important and fundamental concepts. The chapter starts by addressing the confusion of terminology by providing an unambiguous explanation regarding the differences between various terms, such as information technology (IT), information systems (IS), and information communications technology (ICT), amongst others. The chapter then focuses on specifically identifying the end user and examining the role of the end user by relating the discussion to the research of the previous chapters regarding the ICT strategy-centric aspects. The chapter concludes with a practical ISSP framework that aims to provide enhanced public service delivery in the digital era.


Chapter 11 is the final chapter within Section 2 and specifically addresses the issue of defining and formulating the information systems strategic plan (ISSP) for public service delivery in the digital era. This chapter commences by discussing the key objectives of an ISSP and through this discussion links the lessons learnt through the research findings from Chapter 3. The chapter also examines the IS and IT strategic planning process and identifies the inputs for defining the ISSP. Basically, this chapter links the findings from the previous chapters to the ISSP input mechanism. Once this is completed, the chapter provides a step-by-step description for defining and formulating the ISSP document that is supported by examples.

This study examines the influence of knowledge management (KM) practices on public service delivery by municipalities in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. The study sought to determine the factors that have triggered the implementation of KM practices; the effectiveness of KM practices towards public service delivery; and the extent to which KM practices have influenced public service delivery by municipalities in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were employed in this study. Quantitative data were collected through a survey questionnaire administered to a sample of 202 employees at the Raymond Mhlaba Municipality in the Eastern Cape. Qualitative data were collected through observations and interviews of 2 senior managers. The data collected gave a response rate of 72 per cent. The quantitative and qualitative data were analysed descriptively and presented verbatim respectively. The results indicated that the internal and external factors included in this study have contributed to the implementation of KM practices in the municipality. Furthermore, the effective use of KM practices has increased the organisational KM initiative, as well as the provision of services such as electricity, education, transport, and social services by the municipality. The study recommends the establishment of KM awareness and the establishment of an integrated system that will assist in effective knowledge sharing, retention and acquisition across municipalities in the Eastern Cape.
