This Dissertation Improvement Grant in Science and Society has as its central purpose to evaluate the effectiveness of Neighborhood Information Systems (NIS) as an Information Technology (IT) -innovated tool in assisting community development. NSF funds will support trips to various sites within the U.S. to Conduct interview and network survey for an in-depth comparative case study NIS is a Geographical Information System (GIS)-enabled technology system which provides interactive mapping tools combined with a conventional database system to assist community development. Many NISs are developed and operated by Public Private Nonprofit Partnerships of community development stakeholders. This is to investigate what contributes to a working interorganizational partnership to develop a successful and effective NIS as an information sharing network to help local economic development and community revitalization. Particularly with IT development, there seems to be the increasing practice and the need for Public Private Nonprofit Partnerships. Utilizing network analysis, this research analyzes relationship dynamics of key stakeholders as a whole in the partnership network for the IT innovation projects, in addition to quantitative and qualitative analyses of studying key attributes of working partnerships. This research also investigates the utilization of NIS in community development stakeholders. This study evaluates whether NIS as an IT application is used in the decision making processes of community development stakeholders. The intellectual merit of this study will be first to understand how community development stakeholder organizations utilize the NIS and how NIS as an information system is managed. Second, more importantly perhaps, it is to understand how to make a partnership network work, particularly of Public Private Nonprofit Partnerships for IT innovation projects. Broader impacts of this study would be to suggest a working partnership model for government, nonprofit, and private sector managers in implementing joint ventures.

本论文旨在评估社区信息系统(NIS)作为信息技术(IT)创新工具在帮助社区发展方面的有效性。NSF基金将支持前往美国不同地点进行采访和网络调查，以进行深入的比较案例研究NIS是一种支持地理信息系统(GIS)的技术系统，它提供与传统数据库系统相结合的交互式地图工具，以帮助社区发展。许多NISS是由社区发展利益相关者的公私非营利性伙伴关系开发和运营的。这是为了调查什么有助于建立一个成功和有效的组织间伙伴关系，作为一个信息共享网络，以帮助地方经济发展和社区振兴。特别是随着信息技术的发展，似乎有越来越多的实践和对公私非营利性伙伴关系的需求。运用网络分析方法，对IT创新项目伙伴关系网络中关键利益相关者的关系动态进行了整体分析，并对工作伙伴关系的关键属性进行了定量和定性分析。本研究还调查了国家信息系统在社区发展利益相关者中的使用情况。这项研究评估NIS作为一种IT应用是否被用于社区发展利益相关者的决策过程。这项研究的学术价值将首先理解社区发展利益相关者组织如何利用国家创新系统，以及国家创新系统作为信息系统是如何管理的。第二，也许更重要的是，它是理解如何使伙伴关系网络发挥作用，特别是为IT创新项目建立公私伙伴关系。这项研究的更广泛的影响将是为政府、非营利组织和私营部门的管理者在实施合资企业方面提出一种工作伙伴关系模式。
