Changing trend of peasant behavior in Russia during Stolypin's agrarian reform

In this article, the authors aim to differentiate various categories of the peasantry according to the views on property to develop an optimal research approach that will allow for an objective and comprehensive analysis of the attitudes and behavior of the peasant population of Russia during the Stolypin course of agrarian policy pursued by the autocracy. The study shows the validity of using the peasantry's attitude to property as one of the key criteria for assessing the degree of efficiency of the Stolypin reform. The selected criterion allows one to show the evolution of this attitude depending on the social characteristics of a particular category of peasants. Any reform should be assessed from the standpoint of those whose interests are affected first. Property is one of the main guidelines that determine the position of a person in society and the world. Aimed at creating the stratum of steady owners in the village, P.A. Stolypin's reform frees the peasants from the petty fiscal and bureaucratic oversight of the state. As the peasantry realizes the seriousness of the government's intentions and possible prospects for the development of the economy, their attitude to the reform also changes. This change takes place along with the peasantry's realization that the state is interested in steady owners in the village. Those who can and want to be one, accept the reform with enthusiasm, others ultimately see in the reform an opportunity to shift the blame for their failure to the state.

Чехословацкие воинские части в СССР в годы Великой Отечественной войны: политические и правовые проблемы формирования и боевого применения

Introduction. The article is devoted to the identification and analysis of political and legal problems that arose during the formation on the territory of the USSR and the combat use of Czechoslovak military units in the Great Patriotic War. Methods and materials. The methodological basis of the research presented in the article is the principles of scientific objectivity and historicism, as well as general and special methods typical of historical studies. The source base of the research includes both published and unpublished documents found by the author in the State Archive of the Russian Federation, the Russian State Archive of Socio-Political History and the Central Archive of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. Analysis. The Czechoslovak formations were part of the Czechoslovak armed forces and were subordinate to the emigrant government, and in operational and military-technical matters were under the Soviet supreme command. However, the presence of several actors (the Czechoslovak government in exile, the leadership of the USSR, the command of Czechoslovak units and the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia) led to a number of political and legal conflicts in this process. Firstly, the intention of the emigrant government to save military forces (in fact, supported in some way by the leadership of the USSR) was in conflict with the plans of the KSČ leadership and the commander of the Czechoslovak units, Svoboda L., who advocated maximum possible participation of Czechoslovaks in combat operations on the territory of the Soviet Union. Secondly, the Soviet side sought to put the Czechoslovak formations under its control. The third manifestation of the contradictions was “the case of the Army of A. Hasal” (autumn 1944), with which the problem of belonging to Transcarpathia was closely intertwined. Results. Despite the existence of a number of political and legal conflicts, they did not become an obstacle to the creation and combat use of Czechoslovak military formations on the Soviet-German front. In addition, the Soviet-Czechoslovak relations themselves developed quite constructively during the Great Patriotic War.

Overview of Mobile Communications in Colombia and Introduction to 5G.

The deployment of 5G around the world continues to progress at a rapid pace, especially in North America and Asia. Its advantages and efficiency as a data transmission network have been widely demonstrated in different fields such as agriculture, education, health, and surveillance. However, this process does not have the same dynamics in Latin America, specifically in Colombia. The country is currently implementing actions aimed at facilitating the deployment of this technology in the short term, including pilot tests for the use of the radio spectrum, spectrum auctions, the planning of future auctions, and the review of spectrum caps. The results of this review allow us to conclude that despite the forecasts and the intentions of the Colombian government and mobile communication service operators, 5G in standalone mode will not be commercially available in Colombia before the end of 2023. The main failures in its deployment are related to the lack of available spectrum to support the ultrahigh-reliability and low-latency, enhanced mobile broadband, and massive machine-type communications scenarios, as well as the delay in the auction processes for its assignment.

Factors affecting guardians' decision-making regarding the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.

In Japan, the vaccination rate against the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine for children was low. Therefore, in this study we investigated the factors influencing guardians' decision-making regarding vaccination of their children. From November 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023, pediatric clinics, departments, and midwifery clinics in Saitama Prefecture requested guardians of children under the age of 15 to complete an online questionnaire. Responses were obtained from 894 guardians of children aged 6 months to 15 years; 142 had had one of their children vaccinated at least once and 629 had not had any of their children vaccinated. Among guardians who had not had any of their children vaccinated, "the Age of children" was significantly younger (p < 0.001) and "Prevalence" (p < 0.001), "Free vaccination" (p < 0.001), and "Intentions of national and local governments" (p = 0.005) were selected as reasons significantly less frequently in comparison to guardians who had vaccinated their children. "Japanese adverse reactions" (p < 0.001), "Japanese effectiveness" (p < 0.001), "Adverse reactions" (p < 0.001), "History of adverse reactions" (p < 0.001), and "Reputation of friends" (p = 0.006) were selected significantly more frequently by guardians who had not had any of their children vaccinated. Guardians who had had one of their children vaccinated at least once emphasized the importance of prevalence and free vaccination. On the other hand, guardians who had not had any of their children vaccinated placed particular importance on adverse reactions and the Japanese data on effectiveness. To guide the decision-making of guardians, it is necessary to quickly collect and publish data on adverse reactions and effectiveness, particularly in Japanese individuals, so that citizens can decide whether to vaccinate themselves and their children.

Optimism, pessimism, and perceptions of the Jordanian government's COVID-19 response.

This study aims to examine people's optimistic and pessimistic perceptions of the government's capacity, intention, and performance during and after the lockdowns declared in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. An online survey was administered in Jordan and responses were collected from a convenience sample of 1245 citizens during April and May 2020. Descriptive statistics, factor analysis, and multiple regression reveal the following findings: (a) people expressed high levels of pessimism and low levels of trust and satisfaction concerning the government's intention, capacity, and performance, (b) people perceived the government to be a complex, multi-faceted entity rather than a homogeneous entity, and (c) in assessing government performance, people considered the following dimensions: totality of government, institutions of public administration, high-ranking public officials, and ordinary, public sector employees.

Radio listenership in Palestinian society: reshaping cultural practices and political debate under the British Mandate, 1930–1948

ABSTRACT This article examines the reception of radio in Palestinian Arab society from the 1930s until the 1948 war. The article breaks new ground by reconstructing the geographical distribution of radio sets throughout Mandate Palestine and analysing the practices of radio listening. The article argues that radio built on earlier forms of communication and entertainment and depended on existing cultural practices to reach Palestinian society. Radio listening often took place in public spaces and overlapped with the consumption of other media, such as communal newspaper reading. The impact of listening in public was twofold: first, access to radio was shaped by existing social and economic hierarchies and consequently reinforced them; second, public radio listening encouraged critical media reception and cultivated political debates. This way, Palestinians undermined the intentions of the colonial government and used radio for their own ends. By investigating the experiences of radio listeners in Palestine this article sheds light not only on the cultural life of Palestinian Arabs during the British Mandate, but also on the multi-layered, multi-directional workings of media in colonial contexts.

Flippin' academy governance: Top-down to bottom-up

The intention of government to create a fully academised school system in England, whereby every academy will belong to a large multi-academy Trust (MAT), further erodes community engagement and accountability. This paper illustrates how the policy of academisation has enabled a top-down governance framework to emerge, replacing the power and control of a national education service with unrepresentative and unelected elites – the Academies Enterprise Trust (AET) is discussed as an example. Democratic innovations are presented, innovations that seek to invert the powerbase of academised governance, so creating bottom-up participatory governance in a shift to what might be termed post-new governance.

Farmers' trust in government and participation intention toward rural tourism through TAM: The moderation effect of perceived risk.

At present, there are almost 700 million rural population in China, and the farm and farmers in China are highly associated with the steadiness and development of the country and even the world. Farmers are the main subjects in rural development and play a vital role in the reception, management, and benefit distribution in rural tourism activities during the development of rural tourism. Farmers' perception and participation intention in rural tourism development are directly related to the sustainable development of rural tourism and the realization of rural revitalization goals. The decision-making process of participation in the rural tourism development fits the application conditions of the technology acceptance model (TAM). Therefore, in order to explore the influencing factors of farmers' decision-making process in participating in the rural tourism, this study employs the technology acceptance model to predict and judge individual farmers' willingness and behavior to participate in the rural tourism. The government trust and perceived risk in the real problem of low participation of farmers in the rural tourism development are considered. Then, an extended technology acceptance model was established by taking 409 farm households as research samples. The influence of government trust on farmers' participation intention in the rural tourism was empirically analyzed based on the PLS-SEM model. The results show that farmers' perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use in rural tourism affect their participation intention. Farmers' judgments on whether governments can assume public responsibilities and achieve public interests through rural tourism development affects their trust in government, while the government trust can positively affect farmers' participation intention via perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. This indicates that government trust is an important antecedent variable influencing farmers' participation in the rural tourism. The perceived risk affects farmers' perceived usefulness and participation intention in the rural tourism, and plays a moderating role in the relationship between government trust and perceived usefulness. Finally, this study recommends to highlight the utility and convenience of rural tourism participation during the promotion of farmers' participation in rural tourism development, enhance the ability of farmers to participate in rural tourism development, and choose multiple channels to increase government trust to reduce farmers' risk concerns.

MIGRATION POLICY TOWARDS RETURN MIGRANTS IN BORDER REGIONS OF RUSSIA: STATISTICAL ANALYSIS AND POPULATION ESTIMATES

The specificity of return migration in Russia rests on historical backgrounds and since 2006 is in large part connected with the intentions of the Russian government to use return migration as a resource of development of regions having increase in population due to low fertility, aging or strong out-migration. The study presented in the article is focused on the analysis of outcomes of the State program of repatriation along with attitudes of local population toward different political policies, concerning return migration, studied during social surveys in seven border regions, located in different parts of Russia. It has revealed that general pragmatic orientation of population towards international migration is combined with different political strategies supporting compatriots. Their choice is determined by objective, socio-structural, and subjective, related to culture and education, factors, but their weight and significance differ depending on initial discrepancies in socio-economic, demographic and ethno-cultural characteristics of regional societies.

체츠냐의 민족-언어상황 연구

Among the nine federal subjects of the North Caucasus, the special region with the greatest ethnic, religious and linguistic diversity of the Russian Federation, the Chechen Republic, or Cheznya, is more special. Chechen language, the native language of the Chechens, is now one of the two state languages of the Republic of Chechen and one of the 14 state languages of Dagestan. The Chechens were forced to move to the Kazakh soviet republic and Central Asia by Stalin in 1944, along with the Ingushes, Kalmyks, Karachays, Balkars and Crimean Tatars, and were deprived of national organization and language for 13 years until they returned to their original region in 1957, after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, suffered bloody disputes immediately during the process of independence from the Russian Federation and eventually failed to become independent and remain within the Russian Federation. The absolute majority (95%) of the inhabitants of the Chechen Republic are indigenous Chechens, whose numbers and proportions are very high although the Stalin’s forced migraton policy also distributes Russians, Kumyks, Avars, Nogais and Ingushes. The situation of ethnic-language in Chechen Republic is different from other ethnic republics in North Caucasus, but the adoption of the Law on education of Russian Federation on July 25, 2018, which set the voluntary learning of ethnic languages is expected to strengthen the status of Russian and expand the use area, while the status of Chechen and the use area are expected to be reduced. Although the population and its proportion of the Chechens' absolute majority in the Chechen Republic may slow the decline or extinction of indigenous mother tongues compared to other ethnic republics, but it can seriously make the crisis of Chechen language due to the policies of the Russians and the Russian Federation that move toward the Russian superiority. This study tried to analyze the current situation of the Chechnya through as much data as possible, but it was almost impossible to access the latest data, although it was not the intention of the Russian federal government. More detailed research on language situations requires continuous efforts.

Problems of Legal Regulation of Financial Services in the Context of Brexit

The financial services sector is an important contributor to the United Kingdoms (UKs) economy. The article discusses the main problems that arose in this sector as a result of Brexit. The European Union (EU)-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement that was concluded as a result of Brexit does not contain special rules regarding financial services, thereby adding risks to the financial stability of the parties, while the existing international acts of soft law do not fill the existing gap. Consequently, the access of British financial services to the EU Common Market is possible only on the basis of recognition of the equivalence of the British regulatory regime to that of the EU. Meanwhile, such a decision has not yet been made and is unlikely to be made in the near future. Equivalence promotes the convergence of the two legal orders, providing a reduced uncertainty in the regulation of financial services. It was concluded that in the context of the goals of the UKs withdrawal from the EU and the intentions of the British government to return regulatory powers, the lack of a clear international legal mechanism for cooperation between the UK and EU in the field of financial services regulation will contribute to increasing divergence in legal regulation within both legal orders. This may also increase barriers to cross-border trade in financial services. The methodological bases of the work were the well-known general and particular methods of scientific research. The article aimed to study the relevant problems of legal regulation of financial services in the context of the UKs withdrawal from the EU, and identify general trends as well as the essential characteristics and main features in the field.

Characteristics of Space and Decoration in the Main Halls of Changdeokgung Palace in Modern Period of Korea

When King Sunjong acceded to the throne in 1907, Injeongjeon Hall and Seonjeongjeon Hall of Changdeokgung Palace were refurbished and renovated. The two halls were transformed into audience area for the king and Daejojeon Hall was rebuilt to become the largest area in the palace that could perform various functions including the king’s state affairs, education, and leisure.&lt;/br&gt;In the 1910s, the Painting of Phoenixes was installed in Injeongjeon Hall, and Japanese industrial crafts and European Japonisme furnitures were placed here and in Seonjeongjeon Hall by political intentions of the Japanese government, bringing a forced modernity to the palace. European and Chinese crafts were also brought to the palace. In 1920, Daejojeon Hall was renovated and European furniture, imported in the late 19th century at the beginning of Joseon’s modern diplomatic relations, was arranged to complete a European style audience hall for the king. Qing-style furniture and enamelware were also chosen for the palace as they were suitable for the spacious rooms and new lifestyle of using chairs and tables. The Qing-style was mostly Peranakan style, favored by Chinese immigrants to the Southeast Asia who were important customers for the late 19&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; century Qing artisans. On the other hand, traditional court paintings were continued by painters such as Yang Kihoon and Kim Gyujin who tried to maintain the tradition while accepting modernity even though Joseon was occupied by Japan at the time. Moreover, painters provided designs for craftsmen who made products that lay foundations for modern craftworks. The early 20&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; century interior designs at Changdeokgung Palace accommodated the political and social circumstances and the distinct characteristics of the space, and consequently created new values of modernity and cultural diversity particular to Korea.

Factors Affecting Digital Government Adoption: Empirical Study of Trust and Social Influences on Extended TAM

This research is conducted to propose a conceptual model for the adoption of digital government services based on an extended technology acceptance model. Through a survey of 359 users of digital government services, how to operationalize and test emerging variables is investigated to understand citizens' acceptance intentions. The results indicate that perceived social influence and trust are key factors in the acceptance of online government services and intention for adoption. Familiarity and ubiquitous connection have a substantial impact on social influence. Therefore, valuable insight into factors that practitioners prioritize when adjusting their approaches for better results is required. Thus, the adoption of digital government services needs to be related to the level of trust and social influence.

COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy Among Patients Attending the General Outpatient Clinic in a Tertiary Hospital in Southern Nigeria.

BackgroundAs most of the available studies on acceptance of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine were done prior to the development of a vaccine, this study aimed to determine the current willingness to receive the available COVID-19 vaccines in Nigeria and ascertain factors influencing its acceptance.MethodologyA cross-sectional descriptive study using a paper-based questionnaire was conducted among patients aged 18 years and above, attending the General Outpatient Clinic of Federal Medical Centre, Asaba, Delta State, Nigeria (n= 366). Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26 (Armonk, NY: IBM Corp.). Univariate and bivariate analyses were conducted at an alpha level of significance set at p<0.05.ResultsThis study comprised 366 participants, of which 56.28% were willing to take a COVID-19 vaccine if it was made available to them. Generally, it was found that participants aged <40 years (56.90%), females (56.88%), singles (57.32%), and unemployed respondents (67.44%) were more willing to receive the vaccine than others. Those who agreed that COVID-19 was not an invention by man (p=0.031; OR=1.64; 95% CI=1.05, 2.58) were more likely to receive a vaccine. Suspicion of the government's intentions about COVID-19 was a perceived barrier by participants to accepting a vaccine.ConclusionOur findings represent one of the few estimates of the acceptability of the COVID-19 vaccine in Nigeria. They can be used to guide the planning and development of future public health efforts, increasing the awareness of the COVID-19 vaccine, its acceptability, and its uptake.

‘양층언어(Diglossia)’와 ‘빈드어(Windisch)’ 논쟁으로 살펴본 체제전환 이후 슬로베니아 언어정책 양상

The transition to Eastern Europe and the disintegration of the ‘Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia’ were the most significant events in Slovenian history. This change allowed Slovenia to gain its first independent state since settling in the Balkans in the 7th century. The history of Slovenia was, in short, the history of the incorporation. In previous history, Slovenia has always maintained their ethnicity and language under the umbrella of a powerful nation. In 1991, for the first time in history, Slovenia established an independent ‘nation-state’. The first priority of Slovenia was the establishment of a national identity, a national identity. The Slovenian language is a symbol of the Slovenian nation and national identity. In previous history, Slovenia did not complete this task, and the bigger problem was the Slovenian public's perception of the Slovenian language. Due to the continued cultural dominance of foreign powers, the Slovenians themselves turned a blind eye to the pure Slovenian language. Slovenian language was always a low variety in the ‘Diglossia Phenomenon’. The Slovenian accepted the ‘Windisch Theory’ and ‘Diglossia’ without resistance. The regime change and the establishment of the earliest national state were important turning points for improving the status of Slovenian both internally and externally. Slovenia tried to solve this through a state-led language policy. In the early days of the regime change, Slovenian language policy attempted to force the use of pure Slovenian language in all public sphere. However, Slovenes lived in previous history as Europeans rather than Balkans, Slavs. The general public in Slovenia tended to perceive the purist language policy as a product of backward Balkan nationalism. Contrary to the government's intention, the general public hoped for a Slovenian language policy that could be linked to globalization and Europeanization. The expansion of English, which can be called the language of globalization, is becoming increasingly concerned about another ‘Diglossia phenomenon’ despite the Slovenian government's regulations. After the regime change, Slovenian language policy changed according to the tendency of the regime and failed to present a consistent direction. To this day, the completion of pure Slovenian language, the sacred symbol of the Slovenian people, remains an unresolved national task.

High Poverty Rate Amidst Empowerment Programmes: The Impact of Skills Acquisition on Poverty Reduction in Rural Cross River State, Nigeria

This study sought to examine skills acquisition and its effect on poverty reduction in rural Cross River State, Nigeria. Thus, providing policy guide towards government effective implementation of skills acquisition programmes in the state in order to reduce poverty at the grassroots. Survey method of research was utilized to obtain information from households and communities. Five thousand and four (5004) respondents were selected using ballot method. Data were analysed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation (r x y). The findings of the study show that the skill acquisition programmes organized by Cross River State Government has not significantly reduced rural poverty in the state. The study concluded that despite government intention to provide skills to the rural people in order to be functionally relevant in their local environments, there were some obnoxious practices which served as obstacles to the successful implementation of these programmes in the rural areas of the state. Some of these include: the supply of obsolete equipment, dishonest attitude of the programme managers and prebendal selection of beneficiaries. Based on the findings, the study recommended that the government should increase the quantity of items and materials given to the trainees. One cannot acquire skills without equipment. It amounts to giving somebody training without creating job opportunities. It is as good as nothing. Therefore, if government is serious with poverty reduction programme, trainees should have their materials ready at the point of graduation or passing out. Capacity building demands that availability of materials as the basis for success on a given task should be given prompt attention.

Analysis of Criminal Sanctions for Perpetrators of Mixing LPG (Liquified Petroleum Gas)

LPG has long been an alternative to kerosene. One of the objectives of the kerosene to LPG conversion program in 2007 was to supply fuel that is comfortable, clean, and efficient. Despite the government's intention to help the less fortunate with the LPG gas subsidy program, some individuals have used this as an opportunity to abuse it. Not only was the distribution misdirected, but these individuals misused it for personal gain. They deliberately buy as much subsidized LPG gas as possible and then resell it in mixed form by transferring the contents of the 3 kg of subsidized gas into 12 kg of non-subsidized gas cylinders (Irawan, 2020). Based on this description, the author feels the need to conduct an analysis of several articles that discuss criminal sanctions for mixing LPG. The method used in this study is a normative juridical method with a statutory approach that analyzes all articles related to criminal sanctions for mixing LPG (liquefied petroleum gas). Based on the results of the discussion, the act of mixing subsidized LPG gas cylinders into empty cylinders of 12 kg or 50 kg size is very detrimental and can be regarded as a criminal act. So based on Article 62 paragraph 1 of Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection, which states that traffickers violate the provisions mentioned in Article 8, Article 9, Article 10, Article 13 paragraph (2), Article 15, Article 17 paragraph (1cerning Consumer Protection, which states that traffickers violate the provisions mentioned in Article 8, Article 9, Article 10, Article 13 paragraph (2), Article 15, Article 17 paragraph (1), letter a, letter b, letter c, letter e, paragraph (2), and number 18, the offender can be punished with imprisonment for a maximum of 5 (five) years or a fine of up to Rp. 2,000,000,000.00 (two billion rupiah).

Determinants of farmers' biosecurity mindset: A social-ecological model using systems thinking.

Commercial poultry is often farmed in high-density facilities, therefore, predisposing exposure to threats of infectious diseases. Studies suggest that it is likely that farmers have little motivation to practise on-farm biosecurity. In Taiwan, where high-density intensive poultry production is commonplace, unfortunately, several avian influenza outbreaks have occurred over the past decade despite the establishment of biosecurity procedures. To develop effective interventions, it is essential to understand the determinants of farmers' biosecurity mindset through systems thinking. In this qualitative study, we directly explored the opinions of Taiwan's chicken farmers, and a grounded theory analysis was performed. The study revealed that farmers allocate resources based on their justification for the optimisation of resource utilisation, and biosecurity is the most concerning challenge. Farmers focus on the economic aspects of their production systems, particularly when the implementation of biosecurity increases production costs, and there are multifaceted, complex barriers to implementing on-farm biosecurity. Although the participant farmers accepted to take major responsibility for disease management, paradoxically, some farmers blamed the practicality of government regulations and government employees' attitudes. Additionally, the farmers rejected the government's intentions to ask farmers to take major responsibility for the outbreaks of avian influenza while some of them intended to ignore the perceived risks. Government interventions that were considered not directly related to biosecurity also negatively influenced farmers' willingness to improve biosecurity. Using the interview results together with information in the scientific literature, we constructed a modified six-level social-ecological model to explain the complex influences of macro socio-economic conditions on farmers' biosecurity mindset. The novelty of this research lies in its wider relevance to Taiwan's chicken production industry in that it provides first-hand evidence-based knowledge to demonstrate a wide number of determinants of farmers' biosecurity mindset. This social-ecological model highlights the importance of systems thinking for the development of behavioural interventions and allows adaptation to the local context. The findings of this study have relevance to Taiwan's chicken production industry and potentially to similar systems in other countries in the wider region and should result in more effective animal health management at the farm level.

The rise and rise of academy trusts: continuing changes to the state-funded school system in England

ABSTRACT This paper delineates the growth of academy trusts in England before exploring government intentions to base the future state-funded school system on ‘strong’ multi-academy trusts. Academies, directly funded by the central government, first appeared in 2002 as an alternative to local authority-managed provision, with the initial intention of addressing continued underperformance of schools in urban areas. It was not until 2010, however, with an incoming Coalition government that the academisation process was widened, a policy seemingly driven by a desire to limit the influence of local authorities in line with principles of new public management (NPM). The number of academies increased dramatically (for a variety of reasons) to the point where now over half the school population are within them. Individual academies have, since the appointment of Regional School Commissioners in 2014, been encouraged to join formally with other academies as multi-academy trusts (MATs). Whilst by 2022 there were nearly 10,000 academies, most were in MATs with the government signalling its intention through a White Paper to base the future on them. The academisation process has featured several areas of concern, however, not all of which will be resolved by the policy statements contained in this proposal for new legislation.

Factors in the adoption of open government initiatives in Spanish local governments

The Open Government Data (OGD) projects have spread rapidly in recent years, given that they involve a great transformative potential, whose aims to guarantee transparent government and stimulate the participation and citizenry engagement. It seems that there is a lack of studies analysing factors regarding both the access to OG projects and the volume and format of data published into OGD projects. Therefore, this paper seeks to identify main factors affecting both the way of accessing the OG projects and the volume and format of data published into OGD projects in larger Spanish municipalities (with >50,000 inhabitants and a sample of 145 municipalities). Our main findings seem to point out the intention of sample governments to increase their information disclosure as a way for enhancing their reputation or government's image introducing OGDPs initiatives. Also, it revels differences among analysed municipalities regarding the context in which the information is disclosed.
