          Abstract

          Resumen Se presentan los resultados derivados de un análisis de contenido aplicado a los websites de los 308 municipios que componen Portugal. Pese a la denominación del método utilizado (que, eventualmente, podría dar lugar a confusión), el estudio se ha centrado, exclusivamente, en los parámetros formales de la comunicación online; es decir: en la apariencia audiovisual, la arquitectura de la información, la usabilidad, la accesibilidad y los rasgos de la Web 2.0 presentes en las sedes de la muestra. Asimismo, y como principal estrategia para el procesamiento de los datos, se creó un Índice de Calidad Formal a partir de la computación de determinados ítems del libro de códigos; procedimiento adaptado de una investigación previa y que es replicado, satisfactoriamente, en el presente estudio. Este indicador fue empleado para efectuar comparaciones interregionales, que evidenciaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas, y también fue correlacionado con factores como la población, el presupuesto, el poder adquisitivo o el desarrollo tecnológico de los municipios; todos ellos predictores del estado formal de la e-Administración local lusa.

          Abstract The results derived from a content analysis applied to websites from 308 municipalities in Portugal are discussed. Despite the name of the method (which could possibly lead to confusion), the study has exclusively focused on the formal parameters of online communication; that is, audiovisual appearance, information architecture, usability, accessibility, and features of Web 2.0 present in the websites of the sample. As the main strategy for data processing, a Formal Quality Index was created from the computation of certain items in the codebook; a procedure adapted from previous research was satisfactorily replicated in the present study. This indicator was used to make interregional comparisons, which showed statistically significant differences, and it was also correlated with factors such as population, budget, purchasing power, or technological development of municipalities; all these were predictors of the formal status of the local Portuguese e-Administration.
