  21. Evaluation 183 different services related with 26 public services mostly tax, military and police service, is given in an integrated structure directly to the Turkish citizens. However, even the goal of government is, increasing the amount of citizens using e- government to the half of whole population until 2013; the number of the citizens who applied to take the passwords is 246.000, means just the %0.3 of the whole population.

  22. Conclusion • Turkey, as a candidate state to the membership of European Union, attaches importance to acheive “good governance” with global standarts especially with EU's standarts. • In this sense Turkey's tendency to create an efficient e- government project starting from 1990s has gave its fruits in 2000s. • Even Turkey has some deficiencies in this subject, the great progress shows that Turkey will be very succesful to use technologic opportunities for public administration as e- government.
