China's reform and opening up makes the modernization of local government administration become possible. However, institutional barriers and many other effects present a severe challenge to the level and quality of local government administration in the process of turning the planned economy to the market economy. There are many problems emerged in the process of local government administration, especially in the following aspects:1. Local government, as the single management main body, controls the discovery and treatment of problems alone, which is not advantaged to discover and solve problems and lacks effective supervision.2. There are many overlapping parts existing in the responsibilities of local government departments, which are not advantaged to adjust the management process or establish a quantized assessment standard.3. The incomplete basic data is not advantaged to promote the modernization of local government administration.4. The local government agencies are overstaffed and managers are superfluous, which make the operating costs of local government agencies are higher and higher. Moreover, unreasonable management space division makes it difficult to implement the responsibilities of management, resulting in extensive management style and unspecific object of management. Besides, all of these make the information acquisition of local government drop behind and dispose passively. Traditional local government administration mode is very imbalanced both in its management thinking, management concept, or management method, management control and the aim of building a service-oriented local government. Under such circumstances, the local government administration inevitably gestates a revolutionary change, and our epoch calls for a totally new management model.Firstly, aiming at the low efficiency and low level of local government administration, we need to solve the problem of behindhand management method and management control. Secondly, aiming at the behindhand information acquisition and gradual recession, we need to solve the problem of collecting information rapidly and transfer mode. Thirdly, aiming at the disadvantage of failure to implement the responsibilities of management and extensive management style, we need to solve the problem of locating and quantifying the space management. Fourthly, aiming at the disadvantage of divided policies from various sources, shuffling responsibility and dispute, separate command and low efficiency, we need to solve the problem of unifying management platform, unifying management system, integrating management functions and regulating management process. Lastly, aiming at the unspecific object of management and unclear base number, we need to solve the problem of digitizing the object of management and making the data clear and integrated. To resolve all of these problems above, we will not be inseparable from the institutional innovation and the application of information technology.The network is an important international information technology rising in recent years. It's the organic combination and development of three kinds of technology:high performance computer, data sources and the Internet. Looking at the history of modern science and technology, from steam engine, generator, telephone to the computer, each fundamental reform is always accompanied by the network which is formed by related products. For example, only after the setting up of electric network, can the invention of electricity illuminate millions of households(electric power network); only after building the roads, railways and other transport network, can the invention of vehicle such as cars put into use(traffic network). And when the full connection of all the resources on the Internet comes true, it will achieve to share the resources together like the electric power network, telephone network and traffic network. Moreover, it will form high efficient and applied network foundation which brings huge change to people's mode of production and lifestyle.The network management is a new integration mode and organization pattern of resource. As a new modern management model, the network emphasizes the unity of responsibility and coordination:that means every member must be responsible for the entire process of customer's needs. At the same time, every member gets the coordination and cooperation through sharing the network resources in order to achieve the highest quality of service. As a new organizational model of e-local government, the network management emphasizes customer-oriented and face to the entire process from the demands of management and service; and from the providers of management and service, it emphasizes the integration of resources to achieve to work cooperating.The local government network management model is formed by applying the network management to the practice of daily local government administration.In the late 20th century, all countries around the world focus their attention on improving the local government management. The network administration is recombining the operation process based on the management by the local government without changing the existing operating system. It's redesigned from the aspects of management structure, function, operating mechanism, etc. under the support from the modern information and technology. Then it forms operation-oriented horizontally and vertically integration model, to establish the foundation for the transformation of local government functions and building a service-oriented local government with realistic and feasible. Therefore, the network local government management is formed by applying the network management thinking to the local government management. According to the principle of "each performs its own functions, complementary advantages, standardized operation, rapid reaction" and the requirements of the local government process reengineering, integrating the work content of social management and public service sector in the area of local government network. Then fix it in the form of system and form a new local government management system in order to improve the local government's management level and management efficiency.From the practical perspective of all countries around the world, the modern information and technology is combines well with the local government management after utilizing the network management. Via such a platform, it achieves the integration of local government manage resources. It's an effective way to promote the innovation of local government management model, which has the functions of initiative discovery, timely solution, quantitative analysis and comprehensive evaluation. The maximum function of applications of the network management model is managed to through the network concepts and introducing into technology to achieve the purposes of the following three aspects, which will go beyond the traditional management model:firstly, the responsibility system of local government gets the tangible carrier support, which enhances the management efficiency. Secondly, breaking the compartmentalization division of responsibility by modern information and technology, and easing the institutional contradictions. Lastly, promoting the transformation of local government functions by using information-based process design, and building a new public service-oriented pattern.The prerequisite and foundation of building network management model is integration and sharing the information resource. It's necessary to solve the following problems for information resources integration under the network management model.1. The organizational functions of the network need to rationalize and adjust by integration. Part of the integration of resources need to rationalize and adjust by organizational functions. For example, the relationship between community affairs center and the relevant functional departments needs to rationalize and adjust the functions under the customer-oriented, such as aid and population management needs to rationalize the functions of civil affairs, labor and public security departments.2. The operation process in the network needs to sort out and reforge by integration. For example, there is a set of up and down system in the social assistance, but it doesn't have a set of up and down process, which needs to be reengineered on the basis of sorting out the existing process.3. Through integrating, the information in the network can be shared. It needs to establish a unified platform for resource sharing, integrating and sharing a variety of attribute information of service objects. For example, urban construction, tourism, virescence and other departments need to share geo-spatial aspects of information, public security, civil affairs, labor and other departments need to share basic information such as a natural person.At present, for the Local government's integrated management of information resources, it has extensive research at home and abroad. It has providing a large number of theoretical basis and practical guidance for the building of our local government information resources. However, for the local government to manage the emerging network management model, its research is still in the exploratory stage. As for the research of how the integration of local government information resources throughout the local government network management process, only a few of articles have touched it, it haven't build a mature theoretical and program.This thesis aims to use the network and information resources integration theory, from the network management from the traditional "integrated management" to "integrated services" into the concept of proceeding, do the multi-angle, multi-perspective discussion about the phenomenon of information resources integration and its implications in the Local government network management. Integration of information resources will be positioned as a crack in China's administrative system, the chronic problem of fragmented governance tools. This thesis to illustrate the network integration of information resources management and the connotation of its basic principles as a starting point, to reveal the internal relations and interaction rules of information integration in the frame of the network management, and accordingly put forward the overall framework and operation model of the integration of information resources in the local government network management. And then learn from the experience of the integration of information resources in the western developed countries'local government network management, using case empirical analysis, putting forward a strategy of improving our local government network management; Planning the path of the integration of information resources in the frame of the local government network, thus local government information resources construction can be effectively improved, to achieve the goal of enhancing the administrative performance, constructing service-oriented local government.Specific research ideas are as follows:First, clearly defined network management and connotation of the integration of information resources, and to explore the internal relations and interaction laws between the information resources integration and network management, establish a network management of information resources integration system and its processes. Second, through the experience and analysis of the experience of the integration of information resources in network management in the United States, the United Kingdom-gun (county) local government, city local governments in Japan and Singapore, to provide interrelated reform inspiration and reference to our local government. Third, it analyzes the information integration frame of the local government network management in its totality. It opens out the three basic objectives of the information integration frame from three dimensions category of the integration frame of the information resource. Moreover, it introduces the technology platform and its structure system which supporting the integration frame of the information resource, and puts forward the strategy and strategy tool of achieving the integration frame. Fourth, it brings forward the achieving path of integration of the information resource in the local government network management. The thesis considers, the management of integration of the information resource is mainly used to solve the problem of integrating the different constructing system of the network. It starts with the formalized expression of integration of the information resources, takes the LEAP integration model as operating frame, uses the engine and rules of the operation as its power structure, focus on the integration of content, data storage and data, via GIS supporting service frame to transfer the service, to achieve the objective of improving the using efficiency of information resources and the level of service management. Finally, it takes the demonstration of "safety management information system" in Longgang District, Shenzhen as an example, discussing the theoretical value of the information resources integration system of constructing the local government network management in the basis of summarizing the practical experience in the "safety management information system" in Longgang District, Shenzhen. The thesis considers, the "safety management information system" in Longgang District is established on sharing the information resources of local government network. Its pattern takes the network as basic, the integration of information resources as core, the "integration management, integration governance, integration service" as primary content. Its objective is to achieve high efficiency, active and coordinated local government network management model.This thesis from the perspective of local government network management, it tries to explore new approach of Local government network management and exploits a new pattern of service-oriented local government functions. Research methods used in the theoretical combine with empirical method. It has the following innovation. 1. Through empirical research, it has made an innovative theoretical understanding of logic relationship between the local government network management and information integration. It puts forward that the local government network and the integration of information resources is the relationship between form and content; they should be in harmony, interdependent. Namely, the integration of information resources is the substance of the network management, and network management is an external manifestation, reflection and carrier of the integration of information resources. The integration of information resources in local government network management should take "people has boon, management has actual effect" as basic value orientation. It should establish a long-acting information operational mechanism of local government management with clear responsibility, well operation, management in order, forceful execution and timely supervision, and advance the efficiency of local government network management roundly by combining the piece, integrating resources, reforming operation, consolidating supervision. Moreover, it should establish local government information integration system according to the request of "management in order, forceful execution, supervision in effect, well service". That means forming local government synthetic information network in the basis of grassroots; achieving local government synthetic information integration in the unit of department; consummating local government synthetic management standardization in the support of piece.2. Via a wide range of data collection, literature studies and comparison of investigation, it analysis the actuality of local government information resources integration our network management. It combines with progresses of developed countries'local government information resources management areas, digests and absorbs the information resource management, network theory, public administration and many other disciplines of existing research results. It starts with the concept change from the traditional "integrated management" to "integrated services" in network management and brings forward the integrated frame of information resources is determined by the whole requirements of the network system, which is produced in the information management system of network system and spread relying on the information management system. The information resources integration frame is made up by three dimensions, they are:resource dimension (R), service dimension (S) and application dimension (A). The information resources integrated in the three dimensions of R, S and A is virtually represented the three objectives of the information resources integration: organize information resources in order; dispose information resources intelligentized; apply information resources intensively. The operations of these three objectives in certain restricted condition cause the evolvement of information resources in extent, depth and height, and achieve the best point by struggling. This is the process of being perfect of the information resources integration.3. The thesis considers that the achieving path of information resources integration in local government network management can be divided concretely into three levels:the level of data integration, the level of application integration and the level of operation integration. These three levels are going along in turn in the same system. First is the level of data integration, then is the level of application integration, last is the level of operation integration. For the information resources integration in network, the three levels of integration are close connection, inter-dependence and cannot be indivisible. Any level of integration is taking the previous one as precondition; it's the continuation and deepening of the previous level of integration. In this sense, none of the level could take on the great responsibility of integrating the information resources alone.Currently, as the Local government of network resource management and information integration research is still at the initial stage, the relevant theory is still being developed, so there are some inevitable immature expresses; At the same time, relevant practical experience is scarce, combined with the selected cases of this thesis are simple, all these factors makes extensive use of research findings yet to be tested.
