Democracy is connected to property rights as fundamental human rights. A key aspect of democracy is ensuring that taxpayers understand how their taxes are utilized and reflecting to governance. In Japan, documents evaluating government projects conducted by administrative bodies are publicly available. At the national, these evaluations are known as administrative reviews, while at the local, they are referred to as administrative evaluations. These documents cover a wide range of government projects and include various indicators and numerical data, making them difficult to interpret without expert knowledge. This study focuses on ChatGPT, a type of AI chatbot, to examine the capability to summarize and analyze such documents, aiming to improve residents' understanding of government projects. Specifically, rather than having AI evaluate the projects directly, this study sought to assist residents in making informed judgments by organizing quantitative indicators and summarizing the content to clarify the objectives of local government evaluations.
