Study on the Strategic Planning for the Promotion of Informatization in Asia ant the Pacific with Special Focus on Network Resources Development

本研究是亚太地区信息基础设施发展区域研究系列中的第三个研究项目，重点关注数字内容的发展，这是该地区各国日益关注的主题。该系列的第一份研究报告是1994- 1996年《亚洲及太平洋信息系统和网络规划信息基础设施研究》，第二份是《国家信息基础设施发展：战略规划比较研究》，1998年。在为期两年的项目期间，组织了一次区域讲习班和一次国际范围的专家会议，并在该区域的四个国家进行了实地研究。区域研讨会于1999年11月2日至4日在东京举行，讨论中国、老挝、蒙古、巴布亚新几内亚、菲律宾和越南在资讯基建方面的最新发展。此外，我们亦回顾了英国、欧盟及其他南亚国家的电子内容发展政策，并以印度为重点。因此，为数字内容开发制定了一套指导原则。研讨会论文集于2000年1月出版。实地研究是由到访的日本成员和四个国家（即印度尼西亚、韩国、菲律宾和越南）的本地研究人员联合进行的，研究人员根据1999年11月研讨会制定的指导原则编制了一份清单。2001年3月26日至28日在东京举行的专家会议有来自欧盟电子内容计划、英国和教科文组织的专家以及来自亚太地区选定国家的专家出席。会议讨论了一份根据实地研究结果编写的跨国分析报告，以及来自中国、韩国、伊朗、印度尼西亚、巴布亚新几内亚、菲律宾、越南和日本的专家关于电子内容发展的现状报告。结果，我们确定了七个决定亚太地区数码内容发展的因素。为了进一步研究这一问题，需要对这些因素进行深入的个案研究。少

The present study is the third research project in the series of regional studies on information infrastructre development in Asia/Pacific and focuses on digital content development which is the subject of emerging interest in the countries in the region. The first study in the series was SISNAP (Study on the Information Infrastructure for Planning Information Systems and Networks in Asia and the Pacific) 1994-96, and the second was National Information Infrastructure Development : a Comparative Study on Strategic Planning, 1998.During the two-year term of project, one regional workshop and one expert meeting in international scope were organised and field studies were conducted in four countries in the region.The Regional Workshop was held on 2-4 November 1999 in Tokyo to discuss the latest developments in information infrastructure in China, Laos, Mongolia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines and Vietnam. In addition, reviews were made on the policies on e-content development in UK, EU and … More South Asia with a focus on India. As the result a set of guiding principles were produced for digital content development. The Proceedings of the Workshop was published in January 2000.The field studies were conducted jointly by the visiting Japanese members and local researchers in four countries, i.e., Indonesia, Korea, Philippines and Vietnam using a checklist prepared on the basis of the guiding principles which were formulated in the November 1999 Workshop.The Expert Meeting held on 26-28 March 2001 in Tokyo was attended by experts from EU e-content programme, UK and UNESCO as well as those from the selected countries in Asia/Pacific. The meeting discussed a cross-country analytical report prepared on the results of the field studies, and the status reports on e-content development by specialists from China, Korea, Iram, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Vietnam and Japan. As the result seven factors were identified which would determine the development of digital content in Asia/Pacific. In-depth case studies on these factors would be required to further the research on this subject. Less
