| Title: Growth-Decline: rejuvenating and sustaining regional and rural communities |
| Overview: Research is
needed to fill a very real gap in knowledge of the experience of
Australian cities, towns, regions and communities in their attempts to
combine economic and social development with the uptake of online
technologies and information communication technology (ICT). This
research will involve the presentation of a number of case studies to
illustrate how regional and rural communities in a variety of contexts
have developed and sustained community-based Internet services for
socially and economically beneficial purposes. The project represents a
major component of a professional doctorate program being undertaken
with the support the Ararat Rural City, Wimmera Development
Association, Hepburn Shire and AME Systems |
