(Virtual) Community Informatics
This mini-track provides one of the
key international platforms relating to issues concerned with community
informatics (CI), the study of the application of Information and
Communications Technologies (ICT) to the social, economic, political or
cultural goals of communities. We take a wide view of community informatics so
as to include relevance to developing as well as developed countries and rural
as well as urban communities. As such CI is a technology strategy or discipline
which links economic and social development efforts at the community level with
emerging opportunities in numerous business, societal and personal domains.
There is a considerable interest in linking CI with the remarkably parallel processes of "virtual" communities. The dialogue between those with an interest in "geo-communities" and those concerned with "virtual communities" proved to be an exceptionally rich one at HICSS-34 and it is proposed to extend and deepen that dialogue at HICSS-35.
