Leveraging of social science and applied science for e-government applications

摘要

Summary form only given. This talk will focus on the need for a "marriage" between social science and applied science in e-government projects. The adoption of a user needs approach will be examined in particular, focusing on applications at the community level. A survey of selected social science research projects will be given in the areas of user needs and technology assessment. Connections will be shown to selected applications projects that relate to citizen engagement and participation in the areas of e-government, e-health and human Web research. These projects are taking place at the National Research Council of Canada's Institute of Information Technology.
