The use of the Internet for the communications between Białystok's councilmen and citizens (a pilot survey)

An access to information is one of the preconditions for the functioning of a country of law and new democracy. The analysis described in the article focuses on the level of Białystok's citizens interest in the contact with their representatives through the Internet. The topic brought by the author is new in case of Poland, since there is no reliable research on this issue neither concerning Białystok nor any other Polish region. The author's pilot study seems to be indispensible introduction before basic research.
