摘要
本文以社群信息学理论为基础,围绕社群信息学的重大问题,探寻信息革命在社区中的社会起源及发展。通过对信息技术在伊利诺斯州本地机构中的使用情况进行调查,探寻当地社区信息革命的社会足迹。调查发现:网速测试暴露出的数字鸿沟仍然存在;信息技术应用总体来说得到了很好的发展,但是在信息技术负责人和机构负责人之间也存在差异;所有城镇参加调研者都能讲述令人颇感意外的当地信息技术起源的历史;一些特定组织网络是地方负责人可依靠的资源。推动社区跨越数字鸿沟的主要因素有:网络组织者,作为数字技术和网络早期采纳者的本地组织,计算机素养。
Based on eommtmity informatics theory, this paper focuses on the big question of community informatics and the specific research question here is to find the social origins and development of the information revolution in the local community. Through investigating the uses of IT in local institutions in Illinois, this study portrays the basic social footprint of the information revolution. There are four main areas to report on： firstly, the internet speed tests reveal continuing digital divides; secondly, despite that, IT use is generally well developed, but differences persist between the IT leaders and the organization leaders;thirdly, surprising local IT-origin stories can be drawn from the participants in any given town; and finally, particular networks appear to be resources for these local leaders. Our findings point to the main components of how a community has been able to cross the digital divide： Cyberorganizers, local organizations that are a base for early adoption of digital technology and the Inter- net, and computer literacy based on how local leaders use digital technology, lfig. 4tabs. 36refs.
