Assessment of ICT Adoption Stage for Promoting the Greek National Parks

The development of ICT introduces data and knowledge in a large audience, through the use of Internet. This paper assesses the internet model adoption using e-services in the 10 National Parks in Greece. The websites concerning Greek National Parks were studied and analyzed as to their qualitative and quantitative characteristics and were classified in the four maturity stages of ICT adoption. Most retrieved websites are classified in the third stage of ICT adoption, “Transformation”. The websites that promote these protected areas should evolve in further e-service provision. Findings can be helpful for managers, policy makers, web designers, environmentalists, entrepreneurs and government agencies.
