IMPACT AND BENEFITS OF DIGITAL INCLUSION FOR SOCIAL HOUSING RESIDENTSTheo Papadopoulos Robyn Broadbent |
||
Presents findings from a resident survey on the impact of ICT access for residents of a social housing estate focusing on: education and training; community and culture; citizenship and democracy; health and well-being; economic equity and opportunity; and information and communication. The majority of respondents indicated first time use of computer and Internet with initial usage patterns centred on e-mail, news and information services and entertainment. The research reveals the impact on resident behaviour and capability: ability to do their job, employment search, ability to learn new things, to communicate with friends and family, and on pursuing hobbies and interests. |
