Qual o significado da centralidade em um mundo globalizado e numa sociedade de redes? As cidades centrais e periféricas, coincidem necessariamente com as metrópoles dos países centrais e periféricos? Este trabalho se propõe a construir uma base de análise de novos conceitos referentes às hierarquias urbanas específicas da sociedade da informação, assim como esboçar uma primeira tentativa de metodologia de pesquisa voltada para a análise das novas centralidades e periferias urbanas. Não se desenhará o novo mapa urbano da sociedade informacional, mas se oferecerá aos “cartógrafos” sociais algumas ferramentas conceituais para explorar o novo território e explicitar sua geografia. Palavras-chave: cidades centrais e periféricas, tecnologias de informação e comunicação.Abstract Which are the current implications of central and peripherical cities conceptualizations, in the current transition to the Information Society? What does centrality mean in a globalized world and in a network society? Do central and peripherical cities, necessarily coincide with central and peripherical countries metropolizes? This essay intends to build an analysis base of new concepts regarding urban hierarchies specific of the information network society, as well as it will sketch a first research methodology attempt aiming to analyze new urban centrality and peripheries. A new urban map of the information society will not be drawn, but it will be offered to social “cartographers” some conceptual tools to explore this new territory and to explicit its geography.

The aim of the study. The aim of the study is a statistical analysis of the accessibility and the use of information and communication technologies for the population and households based on the developed integrated indices in the regional aspect.Fundamental international documents refer to the increasing role of information in all spheres of society, and indicate that the number of the poorest households with, for example, a mobile phone is higher than that with the access to clean drinking water.Thus, it can be noted that the level of accessibility and use of information and communication technologies is a priority for the development of both individual countries and the world community as a whole.Materials and methods. Methods of grouping and multidimensional classification, analysis of variation, normalizing, construction of multidimensional averages and correlation analysis, as well as tabular and graphical methods of visual representation of the results of the study were used as statistical tools for the study. Microsoft Excel was used to process the primary information.Results. Comparison of currently used indicators has revealed the need to develop and build integrated indices in four main areas of ICT research: infrastructure (physical and information), ICT accessibility (physical and price affordability), the use of ICT (by the population and households, enterprises and organizations, in the public sector), knowledge and skills (education, digital skills). In this study, the analysis was carried out according to the characteristics of the accessibility and the use of ICT for the population and households. The results of the study at the federal district level led to the conclusion that, despite the existence of a unified policy in the field of ICT development and information society at the federal level, there are significant differences in the management of this process and the level of implementation of system development measures for ICT in individual federal districts and regions. The main result of the study is the classification of regions by levels of accessibility and use of ICT. The analysis revealed a significant direct relationship between the components of ICT accessibility and its use. The ratings based on the calculated multidimensional averages allowed us to reveal the leader and lagging regions of the Russian Federation in terms of the development of ICT and information society.Conclusion. According to the results of the statistical research positions of regions of the Russian Federation on the accessibility levels and the use of information and communication technologies were determined, as well as a direct relationship between the indices of accessibility and the use of ICT was revealed as a whole in the Russian Federation, and in individual federal districts.

The aim of the chapter is to evaluate the citizens involvement in contemporary public administration, especially in the Czech Republic. New concepts of governance and management of public sector organizations enable providing new or improved public goods and services that better meet consumer´s needs. These concepts also represent reformed or new approaches to governance with increased citizen participation. Public administration responds to dynamic changes in information and communication technologies and their maturity and uses them in the framework of e-government. Thanks to the implementation of e-government, citizens have become more knowledgeable, able to participate in decision-making processes, thus automatically becoming co-producers of public goods or services. This approach to public good and service delivery describes modern public sector management theories as co-creation. Although co-creation is an entirely new concept in some countries, various forms of public participation are becoming increasingly important worldwide and can be expected to continue in the future.

ResumoO presente trabalho apresenta um estudo sobre as contribuições dos laboratórios de informática educacional (LIE) nas escolas públicas da rede estadual do município de Ariquemes, Rondônia, investigando a maneira e o quanto estes promovem a inclusão digital dos sujeitos da escola na sociedade da informação. Estabelece-se um paralelo entre o conceito de sociedade da informação e de inclusão digital, compondo um quadro tecnológico-socioeducacional, com a compreensão da importância dos laboratórios de informática para a promoção da inclusão digital, bem como da superação das dificuldades enfrentadas pelos sujeitos frente às suas necessidades para a produção subjetiva e material na sociedade da informação. Metodologicamente, trata-se de uma pesquisa de campo efetivada por meio de aplicação de questionário com os coordenadores dos LIE, visando apresentar análise das discussões e problemáticas suscitadas pela pesquisa. O embasamento teórico tem por fundamento autores como Takahashi (2000), Melo Neto (2007), Castells e Cardoso (2005) e Chaves (1998). Como resultados, afirma-se que os LIE, embora sem o devido apoio e cuidado que requerem, têm tido papel relevante na inclusão digital.Palavras-chave: Sociedade da informação.
