El objetivo de la investigación fue determinar el grado de transparencia activa en las administraciones públicas territoriales en Colombia y evaluar la influencia que puede tener el ámbito de gobierno en sus prácticas de divulgación de información. Se diseñó un índice de transparencia global (ITG), a partir de la información publicada en sus sitios web y se empleó el modelo de ANOVA para comprobar la existencia de diferencias entre este tipo de instituciones. Los resultados evidenciaron un grado medio en la transparencia activa y se encontró que no existen diferencias estadísticamente significativas en los resultados obtenidos entre alcaldías y gobernaciones, por lo que el ámbito de gobierno pareciera no ser un factor que influye en la divulgación de información.Palabras clave: Transparencia activa, divulgación de la información, administraciones públicas territoriales.AbstractThe objective is to determine the degree of active transparency in the territorial public administrations in Colombia and to evaluate the influence that the scope of government can have in its information disclosure practices. A global transparency index (ITG) was designed based on the information published on its websites and the ANOVA model was used to verify the existence of differences between this type of institutions. The results evidenced a medium degree in active transparency and it was found that there are no statistically significant differences in the results obtained between mayors and governorships, so that the government sphere seems not to be a factor that influences the disclosure of information.Keywords: Active transparency, disclosure of information, regional public administrations.ResumoO objetivo é determinar o grau de transparência ativa nas administrações públicas territoriais na Colômbia e a influência que o alcance do governo pode ter em suas práticas de divulgação de informações.

“…To the contrary, ICTs offer countries a new approach to creating transparency. Many nations with transparency laws have linked the implementation of these laws to the implementation of ICT-based initiatives, and they have often use eGovernment (Relly & Sabharwal, 2009). Additionally, ICTs have the ability to promote good governance, strengthen reform initiatives, reduce potential for corrupt behaviors, and strengthen relationships between government employees and citizens, allowing for citizen to monitor their activities, and monitor behaviors of government employees (Bertot et al, 2012).…”

“…These developments are obviously positive in many respects, and increased transparency and broad public participation are generally perceived as preconditions for some at least vague ideas of the concept of democracy, despite transparency is of course not equivalent to political freedom. As a trivial and pragmatic example (Relly and Sabharwal, 2009) note in their international cross-study on transparency that countries such as Singapore, Malaysia and Tunisia received high scores for transparency, while having low levels of democracy.…”

Most research in research areas like e-government, e-participation and open government assumes a democratic norm. The open government (OG) concept is commonly based on a general liberal and deliberative ideology emphasising transparency, access, participation and collaboration, but were also innovation and accountability are promoted. In this paper, we outline a terminology and suggest a method for how to investigate the concept more systematically in different policy documents, with a special emphasis on post-soviet countries. The result shows that the main focus in this regions OG policy documents is on freedom of information and accountability, and to a lesser extent on collaboration, while other aspects, such as diversity and innovation, are more rarely mentioned, if at all.
