地方分権の進展とともに普及が広がった自治基本条例であるが、その制定要因について詳細な分析が行われてきたわけではない。自治基本条例の制定要因について、地方分権に伴う制度的変化から考察したところ、市町村合併に伴う面積の広域化が自治基本条例の制定要因として考えられうることが明らかとなった。さらに、自治基本条例を制定した自治体は、特に非合併の自治体では非自民・非公明の傾向が強いことが明らかとなった。つまり、合併した自治体においては面積の広域化と政治的影響が、非合併の自治体においては政治的影響が大きな意味を持つことになる。これらのことは、合併による面積の広域化により、住民自治を強化する必要性が生じたこと、その一方で自治基本条例を制定するためには、政治的背景が備わっていなければならないことを示唆するものとなっている。The basic ordinance of local governance has been established in many municipalities in Japan along with decentralization. But the factor of establishment has not been analyzed in detail. Through a consideration from the change of the institution of local system, it was found that broadening of municipality's area along with municipals mergers caused establishment of the ordinances.And the electorate living in local governments that established basic ordinance of local governance tends not to vote LDP or New Komeito. So, in the merged municipalities, broadening effect and political factors cause establishment of the basic ordinance of local governance, and in the non- merged municipalities, political factors have meaningful effect for it.These suggest that, broadening of municipalities area caused the necessity to strengthen resident's self-governance, and establishment of basic ordinances of local government needs political factors.

In recent years, as information technologies develop, the movement toward constructing the electronic government (e-government) is becoming active. By e-governments, we can increase efficiency of administration and observe the action of administration more easily. And as the result, it is said that administrative action of local autonomies will be more active and democratic. The Japanese government announced "The E-japan Strategy" and "The E-japan Strategy 2002". They aimed to realize almost all administrative procedure can be followed on-line by 2003, not only about the central government, but also all of the local autonomies. Certainly, e-government may have many useful fields, but many problems also exist. Particularly, according to the investigation by Ministry of Public Management, Home Affairs, Posts and Telecommunications, most local government is not so eager for constructing e-government. It is because of the talented people, or capacity of local autonomies. So, it can be said hasty to construct e-government without taking some measures to reinforce capacity of local autonomies, such as consolidation of municipalities.

In Japan, the introduction of disclosure of official information started in the municipality. And it has a big influence on the attitude to information disclosure by the advancement of the telecommunication technology. Proceeding the computerization of administrative information, it is expected to take place a change for the ideal way of information disclosure. And the computerization of administrative information enables a wide dissemination. It is thought that opening the homepage to the public can play an important role in "Opened administration" in parallel with the introduction of disclosure of official information. However, it is possible to think whether neither the computerization of administrative information nor opening the homepage to the public necessarily lead to the promotion of the community participation on the other hand. Moreover, the content open to the public on the homepage doesn't provide with the content to expand the resident self-governance. In addition, in most cities, towns, and villages, enough administrative information is not open to the public on the homepage, and the homepage doesn't function well as a medium of announcing to public. Information open to the public on the homepage has been biased to information related to sightseeing rather than administrative information for the citizens. In addition, residents are not so much interested in information that the administration offers on the homepage. In such a meaning, however the computerization of administrative information certainly has the possibility of contributing to the promotion of the community participation, it can be said that it has a lot of problems at the same time.
