Drawing together the experiences of individuals, households and
businesses, this book offers an international perspective on the on
how and the extent to which the experiential nature of being rural,
whether as an business manager in an SME (or micro-enterprise), a
non-business person, a retired inhabitant or a housewife is
changing as Information and Communication Technologies become
applied more widely and allow people to be connected across
geographies.
The contributors investigate ways in which these ICTs are being
variously experienced in rural areas of Europe, providing a
commentary on changing ruralities and their implications for
European, national and regional Information Society policies. These
changing ruralities are presented here as the lived experiences of
individuals, businesses and communities, and the ways in which
their experiences are being enhanced, undermined and variously
modified through application of ICTs within business, home, leisure
and social relations. The book examines the space and place
implications of these changes, as reported in a range of rural
settings within Scandinavia and Western Europe.
An essential read for economists interested in the area,
Information and Communication Technologies in Rural Society will
benefit postgraduate students in areas of research such as rural
development, regional development and new technology management
among others.
