Abstract

Prior studies highlighted the importance of adopting new technologies to co-produce 311 services, yet they failed to provide empirical evidence of the implementation. Taking Twitter as an example, the present study aims to fill the gap by examining the characteristics of actors in five 311 Twitter networks and the relationship between government 311 Twitter accounts and followers. The results demonstrate multiple-group engagement yet low level of connections within a network, with varying response rates of Twitter requests among all five networks. The overall limited Twitter use in 311 systems calls for shared best practices and efficient account promotion efforts.
