details of the encyclopedia:
the encyclopedia of developing regional communities with information and communication technology covers the theoretical, thematic and country specific issues of using ict to develop the social, economic and cultural capital in regional communities around the world. it also provides descriptions of actual projects by the practitioners responsible, together with very practical information on hard and soft technologies for practitioners in the field of community development.
the encyclopedia of developing regional communities with information and communication technology will appeal to practitioners, regional elected representatives, public service agencies, community groups, regional development bodies, researchers, academics and students by bringing together research, action research, best practice and case studies in an integrated framework to develop and explain policy and theory development. thus, the book will have a wide-ranging audience across the main components of regional economies and communities throughout the world.
the encyclopedia of developing regional communities with information and communication technology will provide a compendium of terms, definitions, explanations of concepts, processes, and acronyms. additionally, it will feature short articles (1,000-3,500 words) authored by leading experts and practitioners offering an in-depth description of key terms and concepts related to various practical, theoretical, thematic and country specific issues of using ict to develop the social, economic and cultural capital in regional communities around the world. a major feature that sets this encyclopedia apart from the usual “reference text” is that it also
includes “research articles” that outline current research projects and their results, or the development of theories relating to the use of ict to develop the social, economic and cultural capital in regional communities.
