Abstract

Designing technologies to support community communication in local communities of place is a considerable challenge. This research compares and contrasts two approaches: (i) Supporting a community organisation to develop their own IT and (ii) Deploying of a digital noticeboard in the local built environment with the aim of fostering broad community communication. The challenges of appropriating the built environment for public use and soliciting community information for public use are discussed.
