A Discursive Analysis of the Public Appeals from the E-Government Platforms

People's wellbeing has always been the focus of the government and the relevant departments. With the development of the Internet technology, e-government has not only provided a new platform for the public appeals, but also a new channel for the government and the relevant departments to know public appeals and the ways to improve people’s wellbeing. By studying the distribution features of the online appeals, the relevance of time and events with the appeals, and the content of the appeals, we can have a better understanding of the focus of people's wellbeing in a more timely and effective manner. It is also expected that the study could provide a much more practical reference for the government and the relevant departments to plan works and make policies.
