Respondents were recruited from a nationwide research panel ARIADNA, led by GG Network SA, the project GG Opinion Detector (GGOD). In the study participated 4 925 people (the number of complete interviews), which means that the maximum measurement error is + / - 1.4% (at the 95% confidence level). Interviews were conducted from 14 September to 3 October 2012. - by clicking on the invitation, people moved to a specially prepared site of the survey. Due to the fact that study was carried out on a sample of Internet users, inference should be limited to this group. Results of the study should not be generalized to the general Polish population. Not all the conclusions in the report are shown in graphical form. 6 THE SAMPLE STRUCTURE THE SAMPLE STRUCTURE Tested sample is very diverse in terms of socio-demographic characteristics. The results were weighted by gender and age, education, and the size of city and the region of residence on the basis of data from the Net Track SMG / KRC.

Using the net influences level of knowledge about the world, interests and hobbies, as well relationships with other people. Dealing with official matters is rarely done with use of Internet. For people with a university degree internet has a meaningful impact on all areas of their lives. The one exception is meeting new people. Oposite phenomenon can be observed among people with vocational education - for them internet has the greatest impact on meeting new people. Most of respondents declares that their computer skills are adequate to their needs. They realize the importance of these skills in finding and getting a new or better paid job. The higher the education level, the more common belief that ability to use internet is necessary to obtain or change job as well as find better paid one. Interestingly, people with the highest and lowest financial status don’t think that way. People with disabilities feel least often that their employers care about the development of their computer skills. They have also the lowest digital competence - both - when it comes to using computer and the Internet. THE MAIN FINDINGS THE IMPORTANCE OF THE INTERNET IN THE KEY AREAS OF PUBLIC LIFE The most important area of public life is to have an access to jobs offers via the internet and the ability to work from home. Remote work is the most important aspect for the disabled people. Ability to find information and advice on consumer rights is important as well. The importance of access to knowledge and culture (museums and galleries, libraries and virtual directories) increases with the level of education . INTERNET USERS EXPERIENCE WITH OFFICES AND OFFICES' WEBSITES Within the last 12 months a vast majority of internet users experienced an event that required contact with the governmental office or other public institution. At the same time, half of the respondents in the last month visited the office website. One in ten people with vocational education has never been on such sites. Jobs, health issues, insurance and education are the most interesting issues searched on the websites of government. Information about public tenders turned out to be the least interesting. Popularity of information about job offers is related to the financial situation - the worse it is, the more likely respondents are to look online for information about jobs. People with disabilities search for job offers more often than others. They also look online for health-related info. THE MAIN FINDINGS EVALUATION OF OFFICES' WEBSITES The vast majority of people who visit websites of government offices, evaluate them positively or neutrally in terms of intelligibility, usability and ease of finding information. Among respondents with higher education, ease of finding information, evaluation and usability of the websites is more positive. The worst rated aspect for the disabled respondents is clarity of information on the websites. Despite the fact that almost 90% of people during last 12 months, viewed the governmental office website, only 30% have tried to settle a matter via internet. It has been done more frequently by people with higher education, respondents living in large cities, as well as disabled ones. Those who have tried to settle official matter via internet, evaluate it more positively or neutrally than others. In most cases, a negative assessment of the website results from lack of possibility to resolve case via net. NEEDS IN CONTACT WITH THE GOVERNMENTAL OFFICE Respondents do not need to co-create office services, but above all, they want to get information about how and where they can settle their official matter. The exception are the people with the best financial situation, who are willing to take part in the consultations on the creation and modification of services of public office. As needed they also consider the possibility of contact with the office via the internet and choose a convenient way of such contacts (in person, online, phone, letter). Adapting services and information to the needs of disabled people is important and necessary only for this group of respondents. THE MAIN FINDINGS LIMITATIONS ON THE USE OF OFFICE SERVICES VIA THE INTERNET The main reason that limits the use of governmental office services via internet, is the necessity of a personal appearance at the office. Narrow range of services available to settle online and little trust in internet as a medium are the subsequent strong barriers. People with primary education are afraid of using internet in official matters and still strongly prefer direct contact with an official. All limitations are generally more often indicated by the people with the worst financial situation. Disabled respondents more frequently than others declare that they do not feel any restrictions in the use of governmental office services over the internet. ePUAP Approximately ¼ of respondents had heard of the Electronic Platform of Public Administration Services (ePUAP) and trusted ePUAP profile. With increasing education, improving the financial situation and the increase of the size of the place of residence, awareness of both ePUAP tools grows. People with disabilities less often declared familiarity with ePUAP (if compared to other respondents). SURVEY RESULTS INTERNET IMPACT ON DAILY LIFE INTERNET IMPACT ON DAILY LIFE Internet has a positive impact on most of aspects of people's lives. It influences the most positively the level of knowledge about the world, interests and hobbies, as well as relationships with others. Settling official matters is rarely done via internet. For women, using the net more often has a positive effect on relationships - with friends and family. Men more often feel the positive effects on areas related to their competencies - knowledge about politics, and income and financial situation. The impact of internet on family relationships is proportional to age of the respondents - older people see more positive consequences of being online. Inverse phenomenon appears if meeting new people in the net is concerned. Then internet affects more positively younger people. Therefore, belief that use of Internet has positive implications for everyday life is growing with age. People with better IT skills (both computer and internet) more often believe that internet usage has influence on all aspects of their lives. Place of residence not in any way differentiates the impact of the Internet on daily life. In comparison with 2010, respondents were more likely to see positive effects of the Internet on relationships with other people and their better income. They appreciated more strongly settling official matters as well. However, less often they believe that the network has a positive impact on their knowledge (about the world and politics), interest or professional qualifications. 17 INTERNET IMPACT ON DAILY LIFE positively rather positively neutral rather negatively negatively don't know, hard to say INTERNET IMPACT ON: knowledge about world 60% hobby, interests 58% relations with friends 30% professional qualifications 30% participation in culture and art. income, material situation handling official matters 0% 10% QUESTION: P14.

Moreover, they note the importance of these skills in finding a new, better paid job. Most respondents declared using peripheral devices such as a printer or scanner on daily basis. They can also detect and solve some problems with computer. Only 5% of the respondents admitted that they can not execute any of the activities related to using their computer. Most people declared ability to create an email account, buy and sell things on the web, use an online bank account. More advanced functionalities such as electronic signatures are still unpopular among wide groups of society. The percentage of people who can not complete any of the listed activities on the Internet is very low. With the increase of evaluation of respondent’s computer skills level, conviction of held skills and their impact on working life seems growing. 23 IT SKILLS I agree completely I rather agree I rather disagree I disagree completely hard to say IT SKILLS My computer skills are adequate for my needs 38% My job requires having basic computer skills (MS Office, web browser) 32% With computer skills, you can find a better payed job 32% Computer literacy is required to obtain or change jobs 32% My work requires a specialized computer skills (database, etc.) My employer cares about development of my computer skills, offering me trainings 16% 7% 0% 26% 10% 20% 9% 9% 18% 30% 12% 50% 40% 60% 70% 80% QUESTION: P15.

It allows to have an access to job offers and gives the opportunity to work from home. These two things are most important functionalities for the majority of internet users. Similar importance is attributed to the ability of finding information and advice on consumer rights as well as the ability to arrange a medical appointment. The least important issues are occasional situations - such as voting in elections (municipal and parliamentary), participation in public consultations and watching collections of museums and galleries via the internet. Women are more concerned about areas related to work and education - working from home, access to job offers, consumer rights, and the library directories. For men more important issues are those related to civil life - to have a single document with the chip, vote and participate in public consultations via internet. The importance of issues is closely associated with the age of respondents. Young people (18-24 and 2535-year-olds) appreciate the fact that the Internet gives them access to job offers. 35-45-year-old users are more pragmatic – for them the most important are practical possibilities of using the web such as contact with the school or medical consultations. People 45-54-year-old appreciate convenience of the internet. They prize having a single document and the access to appoint medical consultations online. The oldest respondents perceive access to information as the most valuable function of internet. It gives them access to the news, reports and statistics, but also museums and galleries. The net enables participation in public consultations as well. The importance of public issues increases with age - older people more often than younger declare high importance of voting and public consultation via internet. 28 THE IMPORTANCE OF THE INTERNET IN THE KEY AREAS OF PUBLIC LIFE Access to job offers and information about consumer rights regardless of the region are seen as most important. However, in Mazovia Province equally important is ability to work from home, in Małopolska Province important is ability to arrange medical consultation. Compared to 2008 and 2010, in 2012 the importance of having online access to job offers, advice on consumer rights and opportunities to work from home has increased . At the same time importance of participation in public consultations via internet decreased . Access to such data as health history and museum collections on the internet appeared to be more important than in 2010, but not as important as in 2008. 29 THE IMPORTANCE OF THE INTERNET IN THE KEY AREAS OF PUBLIC LIFE Important Rather important Rather not important Not important don't know IMPORTANCE OF Access to job offers via Internet, including Labour Office databases 57% Access to information and consumer rights advice via Internet 46% Ability to work from home (online or by telephone) 45% Arranging a visit to the doctor via the internet / email 47% Having a single document with chip replacing ID card, health card,etc. 48% Access to health/disease history via the Internet 40% 32% 10% 11% 33% 20% 30% 40% 50% 6% 60% 70% 10% 10% 5% 4% 14% 6% 3% 13% 7% 6% 14% 7% 3% 17% 7% 15% 5% 17% 8% 15% 10% 37% 18% 0% PYT.: P1.

At the same time, half of the respondents visited the office website within last month. Internet users contacted the governmental offices of an average of 6 times a year. Women more often had to contact the office than men. Frequency of visiting such offices increase with the age of respondents. The least contacts with the office have young people - 18-24-year-olds (average of 5 contacts), and the highest number of contacts those aged 45-54 years (mean 8 contacts) People with a high level of computer skills are more likely to contact the office on the websites. As long as time of the last contact with the state office through the website is concerned, significantly more women than men looked for information at such website within the last month.

Information about public tenders gets much less attention. Women more often than men try to find online job offers as well as information related to the social issues - health, education, insurance and grants. On the other hand, men seek for information related to completing specific issues - automotive, construction and business. Young people often look on the websites for information about their personal development - jobs, education and grants, funds and EU projects, including statistics and reports. Older respondents declared more often looking for information concerning health, insurance and taxes. Job offers and health issues are the most wanted information in all regions of Poland. General interest in any information on state offices’ websites (especially info related to taxes and business) declineded over the past two years. 37 EVALUATION OF OFFICES' WEBSITES The vast majority of people who visit public offices’ websites, evaluate them positively or neutrally in terms of clarity, usefulness and ease of finding information. Top-rated aspect of the state offices websites is clarity of information. Ease of finding needed information on such websites received the worst opinions. Interestingly, men and young people are more skeptical in the assessment of public offices websites. Level of computer skills seem to play significant role in the perception of the intelligibility of information on the websites. People who use the computer in incomplete range (e.g. they cannot edit any content, do not use the printer) judge websites worse. Similar importance should be given to level of internet skills - the higher this level, the better website rating. State offices’ websites are top rated in all aspects in Pomerania and Wielkopolska. People living in southern regions of Poland evaluated ease of finding information significantly more critical than other respondents. Compared to 2010, more people perceive positively intelligibility and ease of finding information at the governmental websites. 38 EVALUATION OF OFFICES' WEBSITES positively rather positively neutral rather negatively negatively don't know, hard to say EVALUATION OF OFFICES' WEBSITES intelligibility of information 26% utility of information 26% ease of finding needed information 40% 38% 23% 0% 10% 23% 30% 40% 25% 50% 60% 70% QUESTION: P6.

Most of those who have tried to place an issue via website, evaluate the process positively or neutrally. Among negative opinions, inability to resolve the matter online plays a great role. Official matters are handled by the net more often by men. The frequency of using this medium to attend the official matters increases with age and the level of computer skills. People above 45 years-old and those, who have computer skills on medium or high level are the most satisfied with the way the office deal with their cases. The main reason for dissatisfaction with the service provided by the office's is inability to resolve the matter through internet. For the quarter surveyed respondents settlement of the case was too complicated, too long or they experienced some technical problems. Residents of the western area of Poland more often than people from the eastern regions declared using the possibility of settling official matters through the web. However, place of residence does not affect their evaluation of the process (Mazovia Province residents are the most satisfied). 42 SETTLING OFFICIAL MATTERS ON THE INTERNET ALL RESPONDENTS SETTLING OFFICIAL MATTERS ON THE INTERNET YES Have not tried QUESTION: P7.

NEEDS IN CONTACT WITH THE OFFICE Respondents do not need to co-create office services. Above all, they want to get information how and where they can do the job. They consider the possibility of contact with the office via the internet and choose a convenient way of such contacts (in person, online, phone, letter) as needed. In most cases, women are more likely to express their needs related to contact with the office - they expect information on how and where they can settle an office matter, what are their civil rights and responsibilities. Also women want to choose the way of communication with state office, get personalized information and notifications. On the other hand, men more often than women expect to participate in the consultations about creation new office services. The possibility of settling matters via internet would be appreciated especially by the people aged 25-54 years old. Older and disabled respondents expect more often adaptation of services and information to their needs. Distribution of the most important needs in all provinces is similar to the general population. Respondents mostly need information on where to settle the matter, also they need the ability to choose the way of communication. Opportunity to settle matters on the internet turned out to be very important in eastern region. Respondents living in the western areas of Poland find information about civil rights and clarification of procedures as more crucial. 45 NEEDS IN CONTACT WITH THE OFFICE I need I rather need neutral I rather don't need I don't need NEEDS IN CONTACT WITH THE OFFICE information how and where I can settle the matter 37% ability to choose a convenient way of communication with the office (personaly, by e-mail, via the Internet, by mail, by phone) 48% 33% possibility of settlement of matters and contacting the office via the Internet 13% 48% 29% 16% 46% 1%1% 2% 1% 20% 3% 2% explanation of the settlement procedure and possibility to check the progress in its implementation 27% 48% 20% 3% 2% information about the rights and responsibilities: what are citizens rights and what the conditions are 26% 49% 21% 3% 1% the possibility of getting the office of personalized information, notifications and guidelines 20% adjustment of services and information for people with disabilities participate in the consultations about creation and modification services office 14% 47% 22% 10% 0% 10% 27% 40% 33% 20% 30% 10% 43% 40% 50% 60% 70% QUESTION: P10.

Anothet barrier is small range of services available to be settled online. Moreover, polish internet users present general little trust in internet as a medium. Internet as a medium of contact with state offices finds less trust among women than men. They are afraid to use the internet in official matters and they worry whether the matter will be handled in an appropriate manner. What is more, they miss information on how to settle the matter proprely. In addition, they experience difficulties in completing the online forms. On the other hand, men criticize the scope or absence of some services. For older respondents lack of specific services less often seen as a limitation. In addition, age has an impact on the sense of limitations - older people often prefer the direct contact and are discouraged by the bad experiences. Both level of computer skills and internet experience directly influences the perception of the limitations while contacting the state office via internet. People with medium or high level of IT skill can find such limitations in almost every aspect of using public wlebsites. It is worth to mention that people without computer skills more often were not able to determine the specific limitations in use of online services of public offices. Limitations on the use of office services via the internet in all provinces are the same. The exception is Mazovia Province and West Pomerania Province, where lack of needed services seems to be problematic. 47 Compared to 2010, the number of people who are afraid of using internet in official matters and prefer direct contact with the officer has decreased.
