Report on the Internet presence of the Balearic town councils

Analysis of the local government web sites of Mallorca, Menorca, Eivissa and Formentera.

The Fundació IBIT has published a report that analyses the web presence of the Balearic town councils and provides some recommendations for good practices.

The report, carried out by the teachers at Balearic University Jaume Sureda Negre and Rubén Comas Forgas, within the programme CREIX of Sa Nostra and sponsored by the Fundació IBIT, concludes that the Internet presence of the Balearic town councils is very good from a quantitave point of view, but has important deficiencies in quality.

One of the most common deficiencies in all the town councils refers to accessibility for people with disabilities. In regard to this matter the report states that "It is a huge lack that will require much effort in the following years, to avoid promoting the digital division between the e-citizens and the e-excluded".
