项目摘要

This project aims to contribute significant insights into how social-media sharing systems should be designed and deployed to benefit many billions of people beyond the mainstream developed world. Our target communities live in both developing countries and those that are marginalised in places such as the UK. We will do so by exploring a series of novel information ecologies for media sharing in a highly populated, but remote, rural development context. Working with Transcape, our main project partner, we will build on a current wireless network to establish digital media libraries connecting multiple locations across 5 villages in the Wild Coast of South Africa. We will use this infrastructure to examine the interplay of mobile phones, pico-projectors, situated displays, word-of-mouth storytelling and paper-based artefacts to create and exchange multimedia content for education, health, agriculture, local social welfare and community decision-making. We will ground our innovations in local social systems, undertake participative design activities and iteratively test novel solutions and ecologies. This project will deliver a well-documented toolkit to allow organizations like Transcape to establish community media sharing infrastructures. The toolkit will also be highly applicable in marginalised communities in the UK and other developed counties. We aim, then, to provide a practical way for many others to put our research results into immediate action. Further, by directing the collaboration of interdisciplinary experts towards the particular technological challenges of rural communities this project can dramatically re-shape: 1) the ways we conceptualise the Internet in community information sharing; 2) how the rural poor in developing regions experience media-centric computing; and, 3) methods to localize ICT design and development in marginalised communities.

该项目旨在为如何设计和部署社交媒体共享系统以造福主流发达国家以外的数十亿人提供重要见解。我们的目标社区生活在发展中国家和那些在英国等地被边缘化的国家。我们将通过探索一系列新颖的信息生态来实现这一目标，以便在人口稠密但偏远的农村发展背景下进行媒体共享。与我们的主要项目合作伙伴Transcape合作，我们将在现有的无线网络基础上建立数字媒体图书馆，连接南非野生海岸5个村庄的多个地点。我们将利用这一基础设施来研究移动的电话、微型投影仪、现场显示、口头讲故事和纸质人工制品的相互作用，为教育、卫生、农业、地方社会福利和社区决策创造和交换多媒体内容。我们将在当地社会系统中进行创新，开展参与式设计活动，并反复测试新的解决方案和生态。该项目将提供一个文档齐全的工具包，允许像Transcape这样的组织建立社区媒体共享基础设施。该工具包也将高度适用于英国和其他发达国家的边缘化社区。因此，我们的目标是为许多其他人提供一种切实可行的方法，将我们的研究成果立即付诸行动。此外，通过指导跨学科专家的合作，以应对农村社区的特定技术挑战，该项目可以极大地重新塑造：1）我们在社区信息共享中对互联网进行概念化的方式; 2）发展中地区的农村贫困人口如何体验以媒体为中心的计算;以及3）在边缘化社区进行本地化ICT设计和开发的方法。
