网络迂回以促进ICT4D的复原力和可持续性
Network Weaving to Foster Resilience and Sustainability in ICT4D
摘要:
信息和通信技术促进发展方面的一些研究侧重于项目的可持续性和复原力。多年来,学者们确定了实现这些目标的许多要素。然而,实现这些目标的障碍仍然是实地的一个普遍现实。在本文中,我们建议应特别关注社区的关系,自组织和社会资本-以及使他们能够在ICT 4D奖学金和实践中的人的网络,作为实现可持续性和弹性的一种方式。基于Green(2016)关于社会变革是一种不关注系统和权力就无法理解的力量的工作,我们认为ICT 4D将受益于有意增加社会资本和在其系统内培养网络。我们提出“网络迂回“(霍利,2013年)作为一种实用的方法,我们探索其潜力,以补充和推进现有的ICT 4D框架和实践,包括研究人员自己的社区意识。
英文摘要:
A number of studies in Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICT4D) focus on projects' sustainability and resilience. Over the years, scholars have identified many elements to enable achievement of these goals. Nevertheless, barriers to achieving them are still a common reality in the field. In this paper, we propose that special attention should be paid to communities' relationships, self-organizing, and social capital - and the people's networks that enable them - within ICT4D scholarship and practice, as a way to achieve sustainability and resilience. Building on Green's work (2016) on social change as a force that cannot be understood without focusing on systems and power, we claim that ICT4D would benefit from intentionally growing social capital and fostering networks within its systems. We propose "network weaving" (Holley, 2013) as a practical approach, and we explore its potential to complement and advance existing ICT4D frameworks and practices, including the sense of community of the researchers themselves.
