UTILIZATION OF MOBILE GIS TECHNOLOGY, AN EFFECTIVE STEP TOWARDS ESTABLISHING MOBILE GOVERNMENT IN PMO (PORTS AND MARITIME ORGANIZATION)

One of the lingering issues of the governments from past, has been interacting with organizations, institutes and people of a country. Offering fair services, optimized application of government resources, effective relationship with segments and subsets of the government, interacting with private sector and increase of civil partnership in managing the country, are all prerequisites of modern governments. Expansion of communication and information technologies, made it possible for governments to pursue the idea of Electronic Government, thus manage the limited government resources in an optimized way and increase the quality and scope of their various services and fulfil their inclusive growth. In recent years with the expansion of wireless technologies, the ability to accelerate making the idea of Electronic Government a reality using the infrastructure of mobile phones, has been welcomed more than ever. Ease of usage, high penetration factor, flexibility in providing services, awareness of audience characteristics, having no need for special trainings and infrastructure and continual access are all the reasons encouraging goverments to welcome the idea of Mobile Government.
