Diffraction Analysis is a consultancy combining the expertise of Tactis, a European NGA consultancy, and Benoît Felten, an NGA thought leader. It researches global next-generation access (NGA) trends to map transformations in the space. The document discusses the debate around public intervention in infrastructure deployment, arguing universal access is needed to fully leverage next-gen infrastructure for public services and the local economy. It also outlines implications for project philosophy, emphasizing ubiquitous infrastructure and coordinated services, and implications for project technology like reliance on open community networks over proprietary access.
1. The document proposes a vision called "Omotenashi-Ozendate" for realizing service provider driven eGovernment.
2. It aims to provide a structure that supports "Life" through connection, individual needs, community, and safety using information and services.
3. A key concept is "Omotenashi-Ozendate" based service provisioning using distributed personal information and big data to enable highly customized government services without user requests.
1) 3G is the third generation of cellular technology that focuses on digital data in addition to voice. It uses technologies like WCDMA and CDMA2000 1x EV-DO.
2) 3G aims to provide high-speed mobile data services like video calling through personal communicators, connecting people to express identities, optimizing traffic, and enabling social learning through community connections.
3) For 3G to succeed, cellular operators need to separate into network providers and service providers while content providers learn the technologies and needs to deliver customized services across different user groups.

The document discusses how to get urban agriculture in Philadelphia to a tipping point where it transforms into a social epidemic. It proposes establishing farming centers as hubs for organizing food production, jobs, education, and building community on 3-4 adjacent vacant lots. Farming centers would function by managing assets, skills, knowledge, volunteers, and communication to supply the community. The centers could be staffed by farm/garden supervisors, information specialists, coordinators, and retail managers. Starting more centers could create social capital through education, opportunities, communication, beautification, and jobs. An income statement projects revenue and expenses for the first start-up year.
This document provides information about a social enterprise that focuses on social innovation design, social enterprise investment, and sustainable development. It summarizes the enterprise's services, clients/partners, key impacts, portfolio examples in various countries, approach, and volunteer opportunities. Some key points include that it has helped over 2.5 million people access health information online and supported 27 social enterprises as of 2009. The portfolio section lists several social enterprise examples across Asia focused on areas like agriculture, renewable energy, and fair trade.

ICTs can be used to provide information and communication services to wide users. They facilitate collecting, storing, and analyzing information that can be transmitted electronically. Examples of ICT uses include e-governance projects in India like Gyandoot in Madhya Pradesh, which established internet kiosks to provide government services to rural citizens, reducing time, costs, and improving access to information. ICTs can also connect rural communities, support economic development through initiatives like e-Choupal, and improve education, health, and community development.
This document discusses the need to integrate local governance and local development (LGLD) efforts. It identifies challenges with the current approach such as weak coordination and linkages between global, regional and country levels. The document recommends developing an LGLD framework based on sustainable human development concepts. It also recommends systematically sharing lessons learned and strengthening partnerships. The document presents conceptual frameworks and normative processes for integrated national LGLD support involving capacity development, planning, implementation and accountability across different levels and sectors.

This document summarizes a research study on the information access and preferences of private forest landowners in New York State. Some key findings:
1) Urban forest landowners expressed higher levels of preference for information on various forestry topics like wildlife management, woodlot management, and taxes than rural landowners.
2) The most preferred topics for information among all landowners were wildlife management, woodlot management, thinning, landowner liability, and pests/diseases.
3) Popular sources of forestry information that landowners said they would likely use in the future included brochures, fact sheets from the NY Department of Environmental Conservation, and advice from professional foresters.
In the Davao Region of Southern Mindanao, Philippines, Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) has been a key framework for promoting sustainable land use in local ecosystems. However deteriorating trends continue across the watersheds and there is an absence of critical reviews to validate whether the current set of policies are providing a supportive environment for sustainable socio-ecological production landscapes .
The document discusses using technology like television to help develop agricultural practices and community development in developing countries. It questions what impact could be achieved if the full persuasive and instructional power of television was used to help schools develop new educational patterns and modernize farming. It also considers where the break-even point might be reached where increased costs of using technology are offset by savings from faster rates of change.

This presentation has been put together with content and feedback from IndianWildlifeclub.com members.
There are many platforms to talk about the economic growth of an organization. But few to talk about the social growth. Thank you KRDWG for giving us this opportunity. Alok and I will be talking briefly about the perceived and planned social growth of IWC with technology as the major enabler for growth.
The common man enters at the bottom of the pyramid and moves up the pyramid. Innovation is in the content developed and structured such that it caters to people at any of these stages. Irrespective of what stage anyone is, there is something in the site for him/her.
Content is continually being developed and structured suitably.
The second innovation is getting members to contribute content, thereby increasing their ownership of the site.
The third innovation is in leveraging social media to link the Club and its members.
Today we are going to talk about holistic gardening, which is nothing but organic gardening. We plant flowers for our own enjoyment and vegetables for food. There is a whole universe of insects, butterflies and birds who also benefit from our gardening. By using chemicals in our garden we poison ourselves slowly-sometimes over generations-. That is because we are bigger built than most of the wildlife we see in our gardens. These wildlife perish when chemicals are used either in the form of pesticides or in the form of fertilizers.
Todays talk is about my experiences as a gardener for the last about ten years in Gurgaon. About the wildlife I observe in my garden which gives tremendous pleasure and meaning to my gardening efforts.
Conserving wildlife does not mean saving tigers and elephants alone, it means conserving the whole web of life and we as garden enthusiasts can play a BIG part in conserving the web of life.
2. E-governance for Conservation in
India
Conservation involves protecting the forests of the
country along with the flora and fauna as forests
are the custodians of water sources, clean air and
irreplaceable natural resources.
The paper proposes a model where the synergies
of a complex e-governance system generate
livelihood options for the rural unemployed in and
around the forests. These options are by way of
entrepreneurship opportunities and not by way of
government jobs.
IndianWildlifeClub.com
3. E-governance for Conservation in
India
Need to expand the scope of governance to
include the participation of all the citizens
whose lives are linked to the forests.
The road map to e-governance for
conservation (of our natural resources) is
thus a combination of e-governance and e-
democracy.

6. E-governance for Conservation in
India
We are proposing a complex system of bundled services
involving personalized portals for each of the major
stakeholders.
Interactions of the stakeholders with the various agencies
involved in conservation apart from MOEF have the
potential of creating employment within the complex
system, thereby enriching it as well as taking it forward.
The e-governance system proposed has within itself the
seeds for commercializing the knowledge base.
Most of the employment created, however will not be
planned government jobs but entrepreneurial in nature,
born out of the synergy of rural information systems.

Literacy is not a major constraint in
implementing IT related projects. The rural
folks are quick to adopt any new developments.

and not the promoter.
It is not viable to have stand-alone e-

the same with community development,
commerce and education.

In the conservation model we propose, there will
be five “personalized internet portals” for Forest
Department, Forest Resources, Tour operators,

Each of these portals will have integrated service
bundles of both public administrations and
enterprises connected to the MOEF.
The integrated service bundles are provided after
the process integration of the involved service
suppliers is achieved with suitable technical
interventions.

13. E-governance for Conservation in
India
E-governance projects mature in four phases,
Information, Interaction. Transaction and
Transformation.
This framework revolves around the citizen,
NGOs on the one side and the Central
Government, State Government and Local
Government on the other side.
The aim of any e-governance project must be the
fourth phase, that is, Transformation.
IndianWildlifeClub.com
14. E-governance for Conservation in
India
Information, Communication Technologies (ICT)
involved in any e-governance project carries with it
enormous potential for transforming poor people’s lives
(Gudgeon, 2001) connecting them to markets, improving
their access to government services, and better enabling
them to express their voice in decisions that affect their
lives. The result of this transformation is creation of
livelihood opportunities for entrepreneurs. The rise and
rise of entrepreneurship has paved the way for growth in
countries ranging from Taiwan to United States of
America.
IndianWildlifeClub.com
15. E-governance for Conservation in
India
E-governance projects need to employ a large number of
personnel in handholding which must continue till the
projects are self sustaining. The aim of introducing e-
governance is not to reduce manpower but to achieve
efficiency and transparency.
E-government can be effective only if internet is widely
used. Otherwise manipulation of the public and media by
giving selected information, by taking things out of
context, will continue. The pervasive influence of e-
government can be a reality only if the backbone for e-
commerce which is the internet is in place.
