Within interaction design, a frequently debated issue has been how to integrate sociology and systems development in fruitful ways. Much of the discussion is kept on the level of design methods; Wellman and the authors contributing to this volume, however, illustrate a different approach. The book is concerned with general sociological analyses of communities and social networks, and how such structures change in contemporary society. Even though "implications for design" are never explicitly mentioned, interaction designers are likely to gain many useful insights for design by reading this book. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Networks in the Global Village examines how people live through personal communities: their networks of friends, neighbors, relatives, and coworkers. It is the first book to compare the communities of people around the world. Major social differences between and within the First, Second, and Third Worlds affect the opportunities and insecurities with which individuals and households must deal, the supportive resources they seek, and the ways in which markets, institutions, and networks structure access to these resources. Each article written by a resident shows how living in a country affects the ways in which people use networks to access resources.Most people's ties in the developed world are not with neighbors but are widely dispersed. Unlike traditional studies of communities, social network analysis can identify the flourishing personal communities that people do have, no matter how far their ties may stretch and how fragmented their communities may be.Social networks are one of the principal means by which people and households acquire resources'either directly, through informal exchanges, or indirectly, by providing information on how to access the services provided by governments and other institutions. Networks in the Global Village focuses on how people use these networks around the world. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
