Abstract
Online service delivery is becoming an important part of the political agenda today as governments seek to minimize costs and take advantage of the new technology, the Internet. At the beginning of the 21st century, governments all over the globe and at all levels are finding themselves armed with different tools and technologies to serve their citizens than any other time. Internet is revolutionizing how people live, how they work, how companies do business, and how governments serve their citizens. The benefits of technology are entering into every facet of our lives and, in particular, in our dealings with governments. The result is the emergence of e-government. The main objective of this report is to describe and define the concept behind e-government, its contributions to land administration/geomatics, and to compare New Brunswick, Canada, e-government with Dubai, United Arab Emirates, e-government. Both are states/provinces of a federal government. Each has responsibility for land related services and each has been innovative in its approaches to providing services for its people.
