Digital Rights campaigning in the EU, Yana Breindl ECF 2012Jess Day
This document discusses a digital rights campaign by civil society groups regarding copyright and net neutrality in the EU. It finds that the campaign raised awareness among decision-makers in the European Parliament and increased its own credibility by making well-informed arguments. However, the campaign's influence was limited due to strong counter-lobbying from industry and a lack of electoral pressure. For citizen input to be truly valued, it needs to go beyond just emails and include direct contact and fact-based arguments that raise the threshold for collective online action.

The document discusses hiking tourism in the Piedmont region of Italy. It notes that Piedmont has considerable hiking opportunities but tourism was previously poorly organized. In 2010, a regional law was passed to officially recognize the network of hiking trails and make it a tool for regional planning.

It has since reopened to the public as an exhibition and event center, attracting over 5 million visitors. The estate aims to showcase Italian culture and history through exhibitions, performances, and educational programs.
This document discusses project proposal practices by governments and local authorities. It outlines some common practices such as reviewing existing situations and technologies, and exploring funding possibilities. However, it notes some challenges with this "top-down" approach, such as conflicts between political planning and public opinions. The document then proposes some alternative practices including collecting and digitizing existing data, forming clusters of stakeholders, and using a "bottom-up" approach to gain support and ensure projects can be successfully implemented and used long-term. It concludes that clustering stakeholders and using their input can help policymakers choose appropriate technologies and launch more democratic funding calls that benefit citizens.

The document describes the development of a tourism web portal for an area in Slovenia called The Heart of Slovenia. The portal aims to promote the tourism offerings of the 16 municipalities in the region. It provides information on attractions, events, and local tourism products. The portal launched in December 2012 and nearly 100 tourism providers are expected to participate. An English language version of the portal is also being developed. A mobile application is also being created to guide tourists to 100 attractions in the region and provide location-based information.
The survey results showed high performance in areas related to local communities and environmental policies, which were also deemed important. However, performance was low in areas connected to stakeholder participation and changing climate conditions, but these topics were not considered very important. Providing a rich user experience on web portals was identified as an important area for potential improvement given its below average performance level.
GoOpti is a new type of low-cost transportation that provides affordable shuttle services, especially to smaller cities that lack sufficient public transportation options.

Editor's Notes
The name of the project is………………………..and the sub project that is developed is called…………………….5 municipalities in Crete cooperated to this project with leader municipality N Alikarnasos. Together we worked to create a portal that would promote tourism in areas of Crete less known to visitors. The project was funded mainly by EU in the contex of “Information Society” operational program.
There are many less famous tourist destinations in Crete.
The Kallikratis project was a major structural reform of local administration.
In web based application, Front End is the content rendered by the browser. The content may be static or generated dynamically. PHP platform RDBMS Manages and provides access to the data. We tried to match the visitors` needs in order to develop a sufficient way of passing the data to the system in order to receive the personalized information he asked for. This approach was followed for both the front and back office user. We tried to store the data once for each content entity. echnological infrastructure on which e-services run. But an architecture framework is something much, much bigger it deals with fundamental organisational issues – Including how do you structure your organisation , and what techniques and strategies do you use to embed new structure Winning new customers and maintaining existing customer relationships is the focus of every company’s business policy. These objectives can only be achieved through reliable information and effective dialogue with existing and potential customers. Electronic Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is the ideal tool for these tasks. From building blocks such as customer databases, to complete virtual communication centers the system offers custom made CRM solutions – from consulting, to system implementation, to operation.
