The survey analyzed about 200 nations.
The annual survey, conducted by Brown University in the United States, ranked Korea's e-government infrastructure No. 1 in the world.
Korea scored 60.3 points out of possible 100 points. The figure was followed by Taiwan, Singapore and the United States.
The survey report said, "Korea's sites feature an impressive level of organization and offer a wealth of information and services. The Korean sites are also highly customizable with a majority allowing the user to manage his or her own activities."
The number of interactive features was also a key, the report said, adding that Korea's e-government Web forums give individuals the chance to petition a particular department.
