Description

Nineteen years have passed since the Kawanishi City introduced and managed the administrative evaluation in 1991. After repeated trial and errors, the creation of an administrative and fiscal management system based on the general plan for Kawanishi City has been achieved. Progress has been made in building a strong objective oriented sense in the staff to support the newly created system. <br>On the other hand, there it is still difficult to share and explore issues with citizens through discussions based on the results of evaluation. In this connection a public review meeting on administrative activities in July 2010 was organized as the first trial among the cities in the Hanshin area. The formulation of a general plan, the preparation of a budget and the visualization of these activities are important issues to consider. <br>Benchmarking is one interesting tool for handling these issues. The results of administrative evaluations are assessed as report cards of the local government. The administrative staff and citizens judge the appropriateness of the budget allocation and its execution through the analysis and disclosure of the results by comparing them with other cities and identifying its advantages and disadvantage. The possibilities of benchmarking are analyzing through the trial of Kawanish City.
