Promoting access to Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) in rural areas has been identified as an
important tool to alleviate poverty. Through the use of ICT
services, rural communities can find new income earning
opportunities, improve the delivery of basic services, and
enhance their participation in decision making processes.

Internet
 It was conceived and designed in
1963 by Larry Roberts, working
for the advance research projects
agency (ARPA) with funding from
the United States Department.
 The Internet is relatively cheap,
powerful, decentralized and
potentially an ideal platform to build
a flexible and powerful environment
for sharing and learning. The Internet is the first communication
tool that allows every user to be a sender, receiver, narrowcaster
and broadcaster in a global sphere (Richardson, 1996).

“ The Philippines is a key country in
Southeast Asia in terms of its digital
economy and tech-savvy population.
This new office will allow us to better
engaged with our local users,
partners and advertisers. Over 33
million Filipinos access the Internet
regularly to study, shop, search for
ideas, opportunities, create new
businesses, and connect to each other.
And Internet use is set to grow
exponentially. Research indicates
that number of Filipinos online will
have nearly doubled by 2016!" said
Julian Persaud, Managing Director
of Google in Southeast Asia.

Search engine company, Google, has opened an office in Makati to help local
business grow both here and abroad. It is a key part of the company's efforts to
develop a range of products and services specifically suited for the Philippine
market.

The Philippine government is currently
experimenting on new wireless Internet
technology, dubbed as “Super Wi-Fi,” to
connect the more than 60 million Filipinos
living in rural areas that are still out of reach
of the Internet. Information and Communications Technology Office (ICTO) Executive
Director Louis Casambre said they have already begun initial pilot tests of the technology
in the Quezon City Science Community, with pilot tests in Western Visayas and Mindanao
by the end of the year. He said full deployment is seen in the Visayas and Mindanao region
by the end of 2013, with implementation in Luzon to follow in 2014. As much as 703 Mbps
of bandwidth capacity will be available for deployment in rural areas, he added. With
increased penetration in rural areas, Casambre said the Super Wi-Fi technology can
jumpstart economic development by giving access to e-Commerce, e-Learning, and e-
Government tools to rural folk, subsequently increasing their incomes and pushing the
economic status upwards in the countryside.

One Laptop per Child (OLCP) Program in Lubang Island, Mindoro Occidental
The local government of Lubang Island
in collaboration with non-government
organizations, and private companies has
launched the “OLPC” project that aims to
provide free laptops to elementary students
in the island in 2010- becoming the first OLPC adoption in Southeast Asia. The
OLPC Program is an initiative intended for school children aged 6 to 12 years,
residents of Lubang island, a low-class municipality in Mindoro Occidental, Visayas
Region of the Philippines. The program aims to create educational opportunities by
providing these school children with a rugged, low-cost, low-power and connected
laptops bundled with software designed for collaborative, joyful, and self-empowered
learning. This program equalizes the learning opportunity of learners in urban
centers and those in remote areas thereby closing the digital gap.

Boac Telerad Experience
The experience of Boac Community eCenter (CeC)
states the precedence for other CeCs to explore the
convergence of new services and products in their
communities. For years, Marinduque had no
practicing radiologist/sonologist in the province; residents needed to go to
laboratories located towns and cities as far as Metro Manila to have their x-ray and
ultrasound results interpreted. Realizing the need for a more efficient system to
deliver basic health services to its community, the local government of Boac used ICT
to fill the gap in delivering health service with efficiency. With the help of the UP
Telehealth Center, the Boac Teleradiology, an image sending station based in the Boac
CeC, was born right after the re-election (2007) of Mayor Solomon, established at the
Dr. Pablo Marquez Health and Diagnostic Center. The first-of-a-kind service has
established Boac as the ‘Center for Teleradiology’, serving not only its municipality
but the entire region of Marinduque.

Basic and Customized Internet Literacy
Course for Rural Women
Commission on Information and Communications
Technology (CICT) piloted the implementation of
the Basic and Customized Internet Literacy Course
for Rural Women, a project which taps the potential
of ICT to provide women in rural areas with
accessibility tools to promote their local livelihood.
Aside from the provision of access points, the project further aims train women in
the rural communities on the use, application and services of ICT as a vehicle for
improving their social and economic conditions. The project has been piloted in the
CeCs of Bato, Leyte and Binalonan, Pangasinan in the Philippines. The program will
be replicated as a training tool in other Philippine CeCs.

The First Mile of Connectivity
 Titus Moetsabi coined rural communities as being
the ‘first mile of connectivity’, expresses a more
equitable and far less urban-centric view of the
challenge of providing everyone with the option of
connecting themselves to the rest of the world and
all it has to offer.
 If rural communities are the "first mile," then the
real challenge for enhancing rural connectivity lies
with the urban-centered governments, businesses
and agencies that have for so long ignored or
placated the desires of rural people to get connected
to the world.

 For a rural person, getting connected
is a means for sharing the wide range
of options available to urbanites, a
means for making better and more
informed decisions, a means for
staying in contact with friends and
families who migrate to urban areas
for work and education, a means for
linking their businesses to the trade,
transportation and commerce systems
of urban areas, and a means for
accessing the services (health,
education, information, etc.) that
enable urban people to improve their
lives.

Solutions for rural connectivity are
best developed with and for rural people.
Rural people must be enabled to
participate in making decisions about
how and where telecommunication
technologies will be put to use. Access to
the technologies, and influence on their
use, must be equitable across the diverse
groupings within rural communities
(including gender, class, ethnicity, age
and wealth). To be sustainable, rural
telecommunication technologies need to
be designed with rural people as active
participants in strategizing, planning,
implementing and evaluating.

A New Era of Accessibility: or Is It?
Accessibility has always been important to
retailers, politicians, and geographers,
inter alia. Individual access refers to one’s
ability to reach or obtain something (usually
something desirable such as a paying job,
medical care, or entertainment), and in the
non-virtual world achieving access -often even access to
information-requires physical mobility. In both physical and virtual
access, one must know of the existence of a destination that will
meet one’s needs, be aware of how such a destination might be
found, and be able to reach the destination.

A New Era of Accessibility: or Is It?
Grounded geographies shape the
Internet by guiding the placement
of IT infrastructure such that—at
regional and even intraurban scales
--physical access to the Internet
closely resembles pre-Internet
patterns of spatial access to goods
and services. But physical access to Internet infrastructure alone does
not equate to access. Pre-Internet geographies shape constraints on
individuals’ accessibility to usable information and knowledge on the
Internet in other ways as well.

Rural Radio in the Philippines
Radio is the most reliable for
distributing news, information
and entertainment in the
Philippines’rural interior, wher
mountains often get in the way of TV signals. According to the
National Commission on Culture and the Arts, radio reaches 85% of
households in the country, whereas television reaches just under
60%.
Source: Philippines: media and telecoms landscape guide. Infoasaid, 2012, p.13
Radios are everywhere, with at
least
75% of households in developing
countries having access to a
radio.

p.248

Rural Radio in the Philippines
 Radio is ‘the window to the world’
for many poor people. It has reached
and helped people who are impoverished,
ill and isolated, as well as minorities who
have tended to be ignored and neglected.
 Radio provides the needed reach, frequency, and access to rural
and remote areas, making it a promising, appropriate and
powerful tool for education. In addition, ownership and patronage
among poor households are relatively high compared to other
media forms, particularly in rural settings.

Lessons of Participatory Communication and
Training to Rural Telecentres
 The provision of access to ICTs by rural communities in developing
countries is likely to go through telecentres. The purpose of these
considerations is to ensure that this development is as effective,
efficient, sustainable and equitable as possible, so that the promise of
the technology becomes a reality - a tool in the hands of rural people.
ICTs will not fulfill their potential
for rural development unless the
special characteristics of the
technologies are combined with
applications, which focus on
participatory communication and
training methodologies.

Lessons of Participatory Communication and
Training to Rural Telecentres
Telecentres are not just technology
centres; they can also be living
laboratories, which facilitate local
sharing of information and ideas.
A telecentre can take full advantage
of global information as well as facilitate the creation of a
common local development vision. Telecentres are not only a way
to provide simple, single-point access to external information and
services, but also a facility for local residents and groups to
organize village meetings, video conferences and technology
training to address their development needs.

When selecting locations for
telecentres, consideration
should be given to the level
of potential demand for
communication and
information services from a
large number and a wide
range of users.
The proximity of the
telecentre to other
organizations and institutions
that can play roles in using,
supporting, maintaining or
operating the telecentre
should be investigated.
Infrastructural
considerations should
include: a location that is
easily accessible to potential
users; the availability of an
existing structure; access to
electricity; and connection
to telephone lines and the
Internet.
Socio-cultural aspects that
may affect the utilization of
the telecentre, or which
groups within the community
have access to the telecentre,
should be investigated.
Lessons of Participatory Communication and Training to Rural Telecentres

 Local needs and skills
assessment
A participatory
needs assessment
can help to identify
the information and training
requirements of the local
population. At the same time,
it is important to uncover
local skills and knowledge.
 The communication for
development approach
Communication
for development
“begins with the
needs of people in rural
communities and grassroots
agricultural organizations and
works to establish vertical and
horizontal channels of
communication“ (Richardson,
1997).

 Awareness building for ICTs
To assist rural
people to
identify what
technological
applications,
services and content they may
need or want, they will have to be
familiar with the uses of the
technologies and the potential
applications and content
appropriate for their situations.
 Links and integration with
existing communication
processes
It is
important
to direct
attention
to how
telecentre infrastructure and
technology can best be
configured or organized to
facilitate group use.

 Training
Training for
agricultural
and rural
development
can do more than provide
improved knowledge and skills for
individuals - it can also improve
the quality of life and the
environment of rural communities
by "development through
collaborative learning“
(Bawden,1996).
 Participatory monitoring and
evaluation
It is necessary
to monitor and
evaluate the
process of telecentre development
and implementation. The elements
monitored should not only include
the number of users and the
telecentre services that are most
utilized, but also the impact of the
telecentre on the quality of life in
rural areas.

The Case of Carmona and Puerto Princesa
Carmona is located on the southeastern
part of the province of Cavite. A rapidly
industrializing municipality that is
located very close to Metro Manila. In
this respect, it is an area where ICTs and
competition among the various industry
players are more observable. The lay out
of the land is also relatively flat and much
smaller compared to Puerto Princesa,
and very few of its barangays are
considered rural.

Puerto Princesa is a city located in the
western provincial island of Palawan,
Philippines. Though the provincial seat
of government for Palawan, the city itself
is one of 38 independent cities within the
Philippines not controlled by the province
in which it is geographically located and
is therefore an independent area located
within Palawan. One of the larger cities
in the country with respect to land area.
Despite of being a city, many of its
barangays are still rural. There’s also a
wide variety in barangays, with some
located in the coast, some in farm lands,
and others in mountainous areas.

What is GIS?
 A geographic information system
(GIS) integrates hardware, software,
and data for capturing, managing,
analyzing, and displaying all forms of
geographically referenced information.
 GIS allows us to view, understand,
question, interpret, and visualize data
in many ways that reveal relationships,
patterns, and trends in the form of
maps, globes, reports, and charts.
 A GIS helps you answer questions and
solve problems by looking at your data
in a way that is quickly understood
and easily shared.
 GIS technology can be integrated into
any enterprise information system
framework.
http://www.esri.com/what-is-gis/overview

Hardware
Hardware capabilities affect
the processing speed, ease of use
and the type of output available.
A GIS can run on a wide range of
hardware types, ranging from desktop
computers to large computer servers.
Other hardware components include
graphics devices, plotters, printers and scanners.
http://library.oceanteacher.org/OTMediawiki/index.php/File:GIScomponents.png

Software
GIS software provides the functions
and tools needed to store, analyze,
and display geographic information.
Key software components are
 a database management system (DBMS)
 tools for the input and manipulation of geographic information
 tools that support geographic query, analysis, and visualization
 a graphical user interface (GUI) for easy access to tools
http://www.sfu.ca/rdl/GIS/tour/comp_gis.html

Data
Data is the core of any GIS. There are two types of data used in a
GIS spatial and tabular (also known as attribute data). The
availability and accuracy of data will affect the results of any
analysis. A GIS can integrate data from a number of different
sources and store in a database management system.

Approaches
Procedures are the defined methods
used to analyze the data and
produce accurate results.
The procedures include access
protocols, standards and guidelines.

People
GIS technology is of limited
value without the people
who manage the system and to
develop plans for applying it.
GIS users range from technical
specialists who design and maintain
the system to those who use it to help
them do their everyday work.
http://www.sfu.ca/rdl/GIS/tour/comp_gis.html

How GIS Works
Spatial data refers to
geographic areas or features.
Features occupies a location.
Non-spatial data has no
specific location in space.
It can however, have a
geographic component and
be linked to a geographic
location.Tabular and
attribute data are non-
spatial but can be linked to
location.
Spatial and Non-spatial Data
http://www.sfu.ca/rdl/GIS/tour/gis_wrk.html

How GIS Works
Themes
•Themes link
features with
their
attributes
•Themes are
linked by
geography
•Collections
of themes
form a GIS
database

How GIS Works
Geographic databases (themes) can be used to solve problems like:
 Visualizing customer
locations is critical to
businesses trying to make
better marketing decisions.
Site Location
• Analyzing location is key to
making decisions about where
to set up a business or service.

How GIS Works
Geographic databases (themes) can be used to solve problems like:
 Presenting information as
maps reveals relationships
and patterns that may
otherwise be hidden.
Site Location Other applications include:
•tracking delivery vehicles
•recording details of planning
applications
•modelling global atmospheric
circulation

How GIS Works
Explicit Geographic
Reference
 latitude and
longitude
 national grid
coordinate
Implicit Geographic
Reference
 postal code
 census tract name
 forest stand identifier
 road name
 Geocoding = deriving implicit from explicit
references.
These geographic references allow you to locate features
(like a business or forest stand) and events (like an
earthquake) on the surface of the earth for analysis.
Geo-coding and Geo-referencing

How GIS Works
The vector model
 information about points,
lines, and polygons
 encoded and stored as a
collection
of x,y coordinates
The raster model
 models continuous
features
 a collection of grid cells

Benefits of GIS
http://www.esri.com/what-is-gis/overview July 30,2013
GIS benefits organizations of all
sizes and in almost every industry.
There is a growing awareness of
the economic and strategic value of
GIS. The benefits of GIS generally
fall into five basic categories:
 Cost Savings and Increased
Efficiency
 Better Decision Making
 Improved Communication
 Better Recordkeeping
 Managing GeographicallyKuwait University uses GIS to design and
build a multibillion-dollar expansion

Cost Savings and Increased Efficiency
GIS is widely used to
optimize maintenance
schedules and daily fleet
movements. Typical
implementations can
result in a savings of 10 to
30 percent in operational
expenses through
reduction in fuel use and
staff time, improved
customer service, and
more efficient scheduling.
GIS helped the City ofWoodland refine
its fleet scheduling, saving fuel and labor.

Better Decision Making
GIS is the go-to
technology for making
better decisions about
location. Common
examples include real
estate site selection,
route/corridor selection,
evacuation planning,
conservation, natural
resource extraction, etc.
Making correct decisions
about location is critical to
the success of an
organization.
This GIS-based disaster decision support
system helpsTaiwan plan for and respond to
typhoons.

Improved Communication
GIS-based maps and
visualizations greatly
assist in understanding
situations and in
storytelling. They are a
type of language that
improves
communication
between different
teams, departments,
disciplines,
professional fields,
organizations, and the
public.

Collaboration and Communication

Better Recordkeeping
Many organizations
have a primary
responsibility of
maintaining
authoritative records
about the status and
change of geography.
GIS provides a strong
framework for
managing these types of
records with full
transaction support and
reporting tools.

Managing Geographically
GIS is becoming essential
to understanding what is
happening—and what will
happen—in geographic
space. Once we understand,
we can prescribe action.
This new approach to
management—managing
geographically—is
transforming the way that
organizations operate.

build a multibillion-dollar expansion.

What Can You Do with GIS
GIS gives us a new way to look at the world around us. With GIS you can:
 Map Where Things Are
 Map Quantities
 Map Densities
 Find What's Inside
 Find What's Nearby
 Map Change
