The electronic version of the atlas significantly increases the importance and role of the information product as a prototype of the necessary component of the information technology infrastructure. The most important role in the development of electronic atlases is played by modern information technology. But they are often used to create specialized cartographic material, which accounts for large administrative units: countries and regions. At the same time, smaller entities, such as administrative districts, which are also important for economic, scientific, and educational activities, are often unfairly ignored. The article discusses the features and results of the development and creation of an innovative information product—an electronic atlas for the territory of the Tengushevsky district of the Republic of Mordovia. The relevance of this work is obvious, since a variety of cartographic and reference material has been accumulated, which needs to be systematized and visualized. The material on electronic maps and atlases was studied, source data and software were selected, a set of GIS spatial data was formed for mapping purposes, and data was collected into a single source visualized in a standard Internet browser. As the main software for creating the cartographic basis of the future atlas, the program was chosen as ArcGIS, for the design part—CorelDRAW, and for compiling the pages of the local database—Notepad++. The result of the work was an electronic atlas of the administrative district, integrating data obtained from various sources using the capabilities of GIS technologies in a format that allowed them to be successfully transferred to an online portal. The proposed technological scheme can serve as a guide for creating similar information products for other administrative districts.

Information technology is developed to assist people in minimizing processing time, reducing errors, increasing the accuracy and simplifying the overall process. The process of recording, retrieving and displaying data and information can thus be easily and accurately undertaken. Information technology in its initial development, however, tends to be too costly and complicated to make a real particularly for people in developing countries. Fortunately, universities as the centers of innovation, can be a game changer for the adoption of the innovative processes, for the benefits of the community at large. In all Indonesian universities, this role is associated with a, so called Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi (Three Devotions of Higher Education, TDHE). This paper examines the acceptance of the collaborating officials and the obstacles i.e. internal and environmental factors. We proposed the use of GIS-based technology to coordinate the administrative units of local government at all levels, particularly the Kelurahan as the lowest hierarchy of the administrative unit in local government system. The Kelurahan will then be the spearhead in a local government system in Indonesia in promoting administrative services to all Citizens. We undertook an integrated training and tutorial for select official staff of the Kelurahan on the system. Evaluation of shows that the information system can be used to simplify the collaborators’ activities. The evaluation was done through in-depth interview to the collaborating officials. The collaborators interested in learning more about the system as an innovative way in providing service to the community as well as spatial data input to support urban planning and management.

The INSPIRE Directive establishes a framework for the creation of a spatial data infrastructure(SDI), which will enable the exchange of spatial information between public sector organizationsand better access to spatial information in general across the Europe. This paper describes theharmonization of the INSPIRE theme Administrative Units. Data harmonization was carried outwithin the framework of the IMPULS project implemented by the Republic Geodetic and PropertyAdministration of Republika Srpska with the support of the Swedish Agency for Cadastre andCartography. Implementation involves the development of a GML scheme with mapping of existingdata in accordance with that structure, development and testing of INSPIRE services, andpreparation of metadata for data and services. The model was verified by the Joint Research Centerin Ispra, established by the European Commission (Joint Research Center).

Achieving and strengthening competitive advantage represents the key factor for survival and success of the modern businesses. It is a fact that successful implementation of Lean management leads to increased productivity and competence. However, in order to maintain profitability and business stability, it is necessary to support Lean concept, which can be provided, above all, by the application of modern information technology. In that sense, by applying the ERP system, it is possible to adapt basic Lean principles to the requirements of a modern environment characterized by constant change of demand and needs of the consumers/users. The main goal of the research is to examine the existing level of application of modern information technologies, as well as the level of attention paid to the integration of Lean concept and software solutions in enterprises in the Republic of Serbia. Theoretical aspect of the research is related to finding appropriate grounds for concluding on the basis of the existing literature. In this paper, research gaps and proposed further research directions have been identified. By applying the appropriate statistical tools (descriptive statistics, cluster analysis, correlation analysis) it was finally concluded that the enterprises which have substantially implemented the practice and principles of lean management are at the same time those who implement IT in their business, i.e. the information systems which support the implementation of lean practice.

Studies have shown inadequate reading materials for the visually impaired in Nigeria. Information technology has greatly advanced the provision of information to the visually impaired in other industrialized climes. This study investigated the extent of application of information technology to the transcription of reading materials for the visually impaired in Nigeria. The study adopted survey research design of the ex-post facto to select 470 personnel as respondents. A questionnaire titled Information Technology Use Scale (α=0.74), and Interview Schedule (α=0.75), were used. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson Product Moment Correlation. The findings indicate that information technology in transcription was low and a significant positive relationship between application of information technology and transcription of information materials (r=0.62: p<0.05). The study recommended among others that Multi-National Corporations should be sensitized to extend their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities to help in procuring modern information technology devices and software to enhance transcription.

The present scientific paper outlines in today’s contempo­rary world - where everything is as it seems at first glance, subordinated to the economy, technology and politics are essentially ruled by ethics, value attitudes, which in that or otherwise find embodiment for purposes activities. After all, the question of goals, intentions is the question about values. The paper underlines that modern information technology has sharpened the problem of the values of the human spirit and choice further path of our world civilization. Everyone remembers the 20th century with its socio-cultural contradictions. And the scale of the achievements, and the scale of destruction committed by people in the twentieth century, incomparable with any other times in its history. The present paper emphasizes that if we want to keep human moral values in the information sphere, then is the technology itself sufficient for this, creating suitable programs forcing save them? Of course, working in networks and not consider off-grid the laws impossible. The paper concludes that what will this process lead to, hard to say. One thing is clear now: interacting with a digital computer, we inevitably become different. Society becomes others. And to regret it is nostalgia for past, it is sweet - meaningless. Like us modern peace or not - but this is reality life, and of them desirable proceed if we want to impact on construction our future
