Abstract

As big data has become a national strategy in many countries, China's local governments are aware of the political significance of big data, social value and economic value. For the purpose of helping the local governments to accelerate the pace of development of big data, this paper adopts the method of case study and takes Foshan city of Guangdong province, a leading area of information technology application in China, as an example, and proposes the top-level design of government big data development and the countermeasures of how to use big data to improve governance capability. The top-level design of the big data development of local government includes: laws and rules about data sharing and opening, big data management organization, personnel training and introduction, government data governance system, information system upgrading and integration, awareness training of data sharing, data opening and data security, development of big data industry, and funds, etc. Based on the connotation of Chinese government governance, four major themes are put forward to improve local government governance capability with big data. The first is using big data to promote standardization and facilitation of government services. The second is to promote precision of social governance. The third is to facilitate the convenience of government commercial services. And the fourth is to promote the scientific level of macro control.
