We live in the era of digitization, where we have the opportunity to do business with state bodies or public administration bodies digitally, via the eGovernment portal. Public administration services can thus be performed from anywhere and at any time, but many people still have certain reservations that make them prefer to provide services in person. The purpose of the thesis is to analyze the use of the eGovernment portal in practice, especially in light of the impact of covid-19.
In the research work, based on the review of annual reports and descriptive statistical analysis, we gained insight into the extent and for what purposes citizens of the Republic of Slovenia used the eGovernment portal in the period from 2018 to 2023, and whether the covid-19 pandemic had an impact on this . Using the survey method, we investigated how different age groups of residents of the Municipality of Koper use the eGovernment portal and what their trust is in the electronic submission of applications.
The analysis of visits and use of the eGovernment portal in the time period before, during and after the covid-19 pandemic showed that its use and visits increased during the covid-19 pandemic. It was also shown that the visitation of the portal remained at a high level even after the end of the pandemic. Among the residents of the Municipality of Koper, a survey found that the majority of respondents under the age of 59 trust electronic submission of applications, while those over 60 trust it less. It turned out that most of the respondents submitted applications in the area of Taxes and income tax in the last year.
