Good Access

Residents in disaster-prone areas use information and communication technologies (ICTs) to cope with risks. This study was conducted in a flood prone barangay of Palo, Leyte to determine the informants’ use of ICTs in natural calamities. Following the grounded theory approach, the 23 informants were chosen using snowball sampling and were interviewed using an in-depth interview guide. The theoretical model generated from the data showed that in this flood-prone community, residents are exposed to various information sources that they use in the different phases of the disaster for various reasons. Although informants’ reasons for accessing and using ICTs were not primarily related to their use in times of disasters, their good access to these technologies proved useful in times of calamities. ICTs have also proven as crucial means of communication especially in giving residents warnings of an incoming disaster and in surviving and recovering from the disaster. Results suggest the need to enhance ICT access among residents and officials in disaster-prone communities.

Grounded Theory Approach

The use of technology for learning and teaching brings optimism and opportunity for education. It liberates both the teacher and the student in the scholarly enterprise by removing traditional boundaries and restrictions to knowledge. However, it also challenges us to consider the best possible uses of that technology for our students and, more fundamentally, our actions as educators. The term technology enhanced learning is used extensively throughout the educational world; it is the latest in an assortment of terms that have been used to describe the application of information and communication technologies (ICT) to learning and teaching. Through exhaustive literature review and grounded theory approach this chapter reflects on the teaching – technology nexus, the use of technology as a student driven learning strategy with focus on augmenting student learning. The findings indicate that there is a strong nexus between teaching and technology in today's world. Further, adopting technology would aid better to put students in the driver's seat.

Abstract Precariousness of the Colombian urban economy provides an ecosystem for the development and expansion of digital platforms, intersecting informal working relations with digital surveillance. Reconstructing legal obstacles to gaining recognition as legal and formal workers, it is argued that platforms have assembled a techno-legal network which translates discussions about workers’ rights into the less regulated arena of information and communication technologies. The role of ‘regulatory displacement’ is examined to analyse the evolution of digital platforms for food delivery workers. Drawing on a review of the regulation of it and labour, discussed in Congress in 2017–2018, we explore the regulatory expulsions that digital workers experience, analysing this information with a grounded theory approach, in which we have followed discursive patterns that emerge from legal documents. Addressing this strategic use of the law is key to understanding and overcoming obstacles that platform workers face in their attempts to organize in the Global South.

Kathmandu and Lalitpur are two metropolitan cities of the Capital of federal Republic Nepal. Both cities have many identical similarities in culture, language, taste, and preferences. However, there are substantial differences in governing facilities. So, to compare the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) infrastructure, human resource capacity, opportunities and threats to adapt governance in Kathmandu and Lalitpur. Methodologically, in depth interview with IT officers of both metro cities and library method have been conducted. The information has been verified in the legislative declaration (Council Report). ICT Infrastructure and ICT based human resource capacity are better in Kathmandu whereas ICT Adaptation opportunities and threats both are higher in Lalitpur. In comparison, Kathmandu is more advanced. Both metro cities need to work a lot to provide smart facilities to people in global context.Research Nepal Journal of Development Studies Vol.1(1) 2018 66-72

Information and Communication Technologies are being evaluated as an efficient and effective way to modernize the electoral process. These initiatives have initially been met with skepticism, as a number of affecting fields operate in concert, to structure what is perceived as the dimensions of electronic voting. This chapter adds to the existing body of knowledge on e-voting, while attempting to exorcise complexity and reevaluate under a perspicacious vision, the conflictual issues, by adopting a methodology with the ability to tackle highly unstructured problem settings. For this, systems theory is employed to provide a framework for perceiving and analyzing highly complex systems in an interdisciplinary method, as well as for designing within and for them. In this context, electronic voting is identified as a ’soft’ ill-structured human activity system, and soft systems thinking is applied to bring about improvement by resolving complex issues and providing a clearer perspective of related interdependencies.

This study aimed to describe how the information and communications technologies (ICTs) are being appropriated or adapted by farmers and extension workers to fit their day-to-day activities and to find out the consequences of using ICTs from the point of view of farmers and extension workers. This study followed a qualitative case study design. Informants were identified using the snowball sampling technique. A total of 23 informants were interviewed, 13 of which were farmers and 10 were extension workers. Data were gathered using in-depth and unstructured interviews. The grounded theory analysis was used to generate a model that describes how ICTs are appropriated by farmers and extension workers in Borongan, Eastern Samar. As shown by the model, the primary intentions for using ICTs were not agriculture-related. But because of certain facilitating factors, ICT use was later modified to fit the needs and lifestyle of farmers and extension workers. Their use of ICTs for agricultural purposes led to the following consequences: 1) savings in money and time; 2) fast access to information and instant communication; 3) convenience; 4) increased knowledge; 5) easier and faster accomplishment of job; 6) improved livelihood; 7) lessening of worries, dismay and embarassment; 8) increased demand for information and technical assistance from clients and 8) people’s increased interest to learn.

The primary purpose of this study was to learn how and why information and communication technologies (ICTs) are used to initiate, maintain, and dissolve workplace romantic relationships, creating a new model. Workplace romantic relationships are different from traditional romantic relationships in several ways: those in workplace romances may face additional implications following workplace romance disclosure and need to be mindful of how they disclose, they risk damaging gossip that could result in negative professional consequences, and they are influenced by organizational culture. How and why people chose to date those they met at work has important implications for individuals, organizations, and society. Using a constructivist grounded theory approach and collecting in-depth qualitative data, we uncovered a model of ICT use in workplace romantic relationships. We also found privacy was a predominant concern in both the initiation and maintenance stages and that communication was generally avoided during dissolution. Technology was used to end many of these relationships including text messages and social networking sites because they are asynchronous and help both parties avoid more direct communication. Theoretical and practical implications for employees, managers, and organizations are discussed.
