Adoption and Effective Use of Information Communication Technologies in Indigenous Communities in Australia

这个关于土著居民使用互联网的项目旨在查明为什么上次人口普查显示，土著澳大利亚人使用互联网的可能性比非土著澳大利亚人少69%。这项研究将有助于创新政策的制定，包括建立一个对文化敏感的模式，以帮助土著社区提高对计算机和互联网的使用。这项研究的最终目的是提供机制，使土著人民利用现有技术促进其社区的保健、教育和住房成果。

This project on Indigenous use of the internet aims to identify the reasons why Indigenous Australians are 69% less likely to access the Internet than their non-Indigenous counterparts as demonstrated in the last census. This research will assist in innovative policy development including the creation of a culturally-sensitive model to assist Indigenous communities to raise their use of computers and the internet. Ultimately the aim of the research is to provide mechanisms to engage Indigenous people with current technology to advance health, education and housing outcomes in their communities.
