ICTs for rural development: potential applications and barriers involved
Rural policy nowadays is at the heart of the policy discussion in many countries all over the world, in the effort to address and effectively support the specific needs and opportunities of rural places and their population in the new era. Along these lines, the focus of the present paper is twofold...

In such a context, it firstly places emphasis on the evolving new rural development paradigm. Then, the range and potential of ICTs applications is explored, that can serve the implementation of the new policy paradigm in rural regions. It follows a discussion on the steps that are needed in order to develop value-added ICTs applications in rural regions and the barriers appearing in the adoption and use of ICTs in these regions. Finally, are presented some issues of policy concern in respect to the adoption and use of ICTs in a rural development perspective. L’évolution de la ruralité occupe actuellement une place centrale au sein du débat politique. Il s’agit à la fois de répondre aux besoins spécifiques des populations rurales, et de saisir les opportunités économiques pour le développement local. Cet article revêt une double ambition : d’une part, apporter un éclairage sur le rôle que les TIC peuvent effectivement jouer en faveur du développement rural ; et d’autre part, comprendre quelles sont les principales difficultés d’adoption dans cet espace si singulier. La première partie met l’accent sur l’existence d’un nouveau référentiel politique de développement rural intégrant désormais les TIC en tant qu’outil essentiel de son élaboration. La deuxième partie met en discussion les facteurs décisifs permettant un développement numérique rural efficace. La troisième partie pointe les difficultés d’adoption généralisée des populations et des entreprises vis-à-vis de ces nouvelles technologies. Dans une dernière partie, nous présentons l’ensemble des critères qui nous paraissent décisifs à la réussite des politiques publiques engagées en matière de numérique dans les espaces ruraux. |

Rural policy nowadays is at the heart of the policy discussion in many countries all over the world, in the effort to address and effectively support the specific needs and opportunities of rural places and their population in the new era. Along these lines, the focus of the present paper is twofold: on the one hand it attempts to shed light on the role of ICTs and their applications as enabling tools empowering rural development; while on the other hand it explores the barriers appearing towards the adoption and use of ICTs in rural regions. In such a context, it firstly places emphasis on the evolving new rural development paradigm. Then, the range and potential of ICTs applications is explored, that can serve the implementation of the new policy paradigm in rural regions. It follows a discussion on the steps that are needed in order to develop value-added ICTs applications in rural regions and the barriers appearing in the adoption and use of ICTs in these regions. Finally, are presented some issues of policy concern in respect to the adoption and use of ICTs in a rural development perspective. |
