项目摘要

Mobile phones have been heralded as transformative new tools to reduce global poverty. Scholars and development professionals alike have pointed out that phones, and other information and communication technologies (ICTs), can greatly reduce barriers to information, promote market efficiency, increase workers returns to labor, boost savings, and expedite emergency response. An alternative perspective, however, is that phones can magnify situations rather than transform them. Valuable tools may be less valuable to people who are not well positioned in society like minorities, women, or the poor. Furthermore, in rural areas telecommunications infrastructure can be patchy, as can access to resources like health care, and environmental shocks like droughts can be devastating. The project asks: under what conditions do mobile phones empower or disempower vulnerable groups, especially women? This question will be investigated in pastoralist Maasai communities in Tanzania. To address this question, the research will test hypotheses regarding the effects of mobile phones on: (1) the structures and functions of women's and men's social networks; (2) their access to information and decision-making; and (3) their capacities to respond to different types of shocks. Over the 3-year term of the project, we will conduct qualitative group and stakeholder interviews (n=60), standardized surveys of individual women and men (n=370/year) and spatial measures of cellular signal across a broad geographic area. We will analyze these data using standard descriptive, multivariate, and spatial modeling tools.This project will provide early research on the effects of ICTs on power dynamics within hierarchical societies. It will also contribute to the scholarship on women's empowerment by examining the effects of mobile phones on aspects of women's empowerment, including women's capacities to respond to shocks. The broader impacts of this research include dissemination of findings to communities and NGOs, graduate training, and elementary education in Tanzania
移动电话被誉为减少全球贫困的变革性新工具。学者和发展专业人士都指出,电话和其他信息通信技术(ICT)可以大大减少信息壁垒,提高市场效率,增加工人的劳动回报,增加储蓄并加快应急响应。然而,另一种观点认为,手机只能放大而不是改变情况。对于那些在社会中地位不佳的人(如少数族裔、妇女或穷人)来说,有价值的工具可能不太有价值。此外,在农村地区,电信基础设施可能不完善,医疗保健等资源的获取也可能不完善,而干旱等环境冲击可能是毁灭性的。该项目提出的问题是:在什么条件下,移动电话会增强或削弱弱势群体(尤其是女性)的能力?这个问题将在坦桑尼亚的马赛牧民社区进行调查。 为了解决这个问题,该研究将测试有关移动电话对以下方面影响的假设:(1)女性和男性社交网络的结构和功能; (2) 他们获取信息和决策的能力; (3) 他们应对不同类型冲击的能力。在该项目的 3 年期限内,我们将进行定性团体和利益相关者访谈 (n=60)、对女性和男性个体的标准化调查 (n=370/年) 以及跨广泛地理区域的细胞信号空间测量。我们将使用标准的描述性、多元和空间建模工具来分析这些数据。该项目将提供关于信息通信技术对等级社会权力动态影响的早期研究。它还将通过研究移动电话对妇女赋权各方面的影响,包括妇女应对冲击的能力,为妇女赋权学术做出贡献。这项研究的更广泛影响包括向坦桑尼亚的社区和非政府组织传播研究结果、研究生培训和基础教育
