Survey of Information Technology Use for Municipal Infrastructure Management
As municipalities increasingly rely on computer-based systems and data management,

information that was traditionally exchanged through human communications can now be
exchanged electronically through computer-to-computer data exchange. This requires much
more formal specifications and agreements to govern these data exchanges (Zeb et al., 2012).
Computer-based information retrieval operates through the use of software that can offer
information services for an institution or organization. It is powerful and convenient builder for
simultaneous growth in society and industries. An information service provides a way to
electronically access, retrieve, and transmit that information (Imus et al., 2018).
Municipal Information Systems: Current Practices and Issues
Interesting and creative uses of IT in municipalities has been under-reported as there has been
a major emphasis on for-profit entities. System integration, GIS, and other applications of IT
create challenges and opportunities that seem unique to local governments. With the new
GASB 34 that mandates state and local government information reporting, smart and creative
IT application in critical. We discuss these points and our observations from interviewing the IT
managers from some local governments (Olsen et al., 2010). As in business, leaders and
management in government recognize that investment in IT for the sake of technology is not
wise. Rather, they are concerned about acquiring systems that work well with one another.
Particularly in areas like law enforcement and emergency services, integration of current stand-
alone systems is a top priority (Black 2008).
Management Information in Rural Area
Communication activities are mainly described as delivering, deploying and improving relevant
information presented to public. Information submitted by information provider needs to be
understood by the public so that what information provider means can be accepted and
implemented. Recommended media is providing digital media communication that is public
information boards combined with web-based applications as a means of announcing
information managed by the administrator, as well as the SMS gateway as a means of receiving
feedback and information requests from the public. The information can be delivered in the
form of information about education, health, agriculture, religious activities (Salim 2013).
The indigenous languages should be used for radio and television news to enable rural dwellers
understand the message better since study has shown that many rural people cannot read or
write; that modern and traditional information acquisition and dissemination channels should
be used by information agent working in the rural areas; that further study should be carried
out to discover the best acceptable channels to each categories of rural people (Ifukor 2013).
Today, as IT has become less of choice but more of a requirement for individuals and
computers
play a crucial role in assisting people in organizing, storing and retrieval of a huge amount of
information, and making them readily and instantly available. The Barangay can greatly benefit
by using the developed Management Information System that was specifically configured for
the office transactions of a Barangay. (Pulumbarit 2017).
