- 33. CONCLUSIONS The digital – visible Douala 0 economic and commercial image 0 visible neighbourhoods are only those located on the coast side of Douala, which are better served by public services; The digital – invisible Douala instead appears characterised by 0 Scarce involvement of the public sector in the social well being of its inhabitants (no social services, health sectors and public administration are present there). 0 Invisibility concerns neighbourhoods highly populated and spontaneously growth which lack of access to any kind of public services. 0 Invisible neighbourhoods are very busy of social-economic activities, like markets and self-organized health, social, security communities. So, according to Tim Unwin, the image of the digital Douala, is enhancing rather than leveraging the digital divide between whose have and whose have not access to ICTs.
- 34. FUTURE WORKS 0 Temporal evolution of digital presence; 0 Comparison of the image coming from websites against emerging spatial landmarks from: 0 User-Generated Content on maps; 0 Local and foreigners voices.

Hinweis der Redaktion
- Digital divide (Unwin and Graham), where the poorest are said as TO BE at the bottom of the pyramid, or left behind in technological advancement, confined in remotes areas where they are unreachable and information arrives to late, compared to a globalized, connected and advanced world
- The diffusion of the city’s cultural identity by the micro-community Art and culture (11.7%) and information relating to Security (10%) is quite valued in comparison to Retailers (11.4%) and Import –export (10.9%)
- 0,6% Entertainment channels of promotion pass through informal communication streams
- 5 quartieri
- 10 quartieri
- 18 quartieri
- These are the characteristics of the neighbourhoods
- At the same time, lot of things are happening there!
- metterei anche qualcosa in termini geografici, non solo di tipologie di attività. Tipo direi: 1) i quartieri visibili sono piu' centrali, piu' vicini al porto, meglio collegati in termini di strade ecc.. 2) quelli invisibili sono quelli peggio collegati in termini di strade ecc, e quelli piu' abusivi, pero' sono ugualmente "busy" in termini di attività. QUINDI questa immagine sembra aumentare il digital divide, come teorizzato da Unwin!
