“…Despite these efforts, ICT projects often encounter a range of challenges (Zewge et al, 2014) and the benefits do not reach those who are most disadvantaged (Zewge & Dittrich, 2017), failing in achieving the goals of such projects (Venkatesh et al, 2019). A variety of reasons have been reported in the literature that can be attributed to this such as failing to capture the underlying motivations of intended users (Afful-Dadzie et al, 2022), lack of beneficiary participation (Walton & Heeks, 2011), poorly understood technology needs (Zewge et al, 2014). In this context, it is therefore important to consider stakeholders and their needs while developing ICT4D interventions (Islam & Grönlund, 2007;Karanasios & Slavova, 2019).…”

Knowledge sharing in rural agricultural communities is vital to the success of farmers and sustaining high yields. A range of actors in the knowledge landscape participate in knowledge sharing, and with this, a variety of complexities are introduced. In this paper, we report on a set of field visits, interviews and focus groups in various settings to understand this complex nature of the knowledge landscape. Our study was set within multiple locations within 20 miles North-East of Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh. Our findings highlight the high level of interconnectedness of different actors in the agricultural communities and the complexities involved in establishing trust of information. We report on the importance of fostering successful relationships within the communities and the growing strains of climate change.

“…One of the main characteristics of rural communities is the complexity of their worldview and economic, social, productive and environmental structures (Rotz et al, 2019;Adom, 2019;Lowery et al, 2020;Winter et al, 2021;Tan & Zhou, 2022;Bernard et al, 2023); This complexity comes from their own ways of life, their practices and knowledge about their territory, and the vision of development embedded in the customs and ancestral knowledge of the people, complex processes of productive economic practices that cohabit in their territories (Musekiwa & Mandiyanike, 2017;Cavaye & Ross, 2022), processes and dynamics that generate changes and transformation that operate in the search for the well-being of its inhabitants, a challenge that is the responsibility of local actors (Vázquez-Maguirre, 2020;Sanders et al, 2023;Ayaviri-Nina et al, 2023). The importance of the study of rural communities lies in the production and provision systems of basic foods, the production of inputs for industries, transfer of resources to other sectors, management of natural resources, generation of local and regional economies, Higher concentration activities are found in agriculture and livestock (Afful-Dadzie et al, 2022;Azumah et al, 2023;Tshikovhi et al, 2023;Ramaano, 2023). Over time, rural communities adopted forms of resilience in response to economic and social crises, which are part of their way of life, knowledge and experience expressed as intangible capital, linked to the vision of the development of localities (Lucian, 2018;Paul, 2020;Kalogiannidis et al, 2023).…”

This research aims to determine the most important elements that contribute to the development planning processes in the rural communities of the department of Oruro, Bolivia; It is based on the proposition that democracy in Latin America is in a situation characterized by advances in political rights and deficiencies in the civil and social rights of citizens, rural communities are where the most acute indicators of political, social, cultural and economic exclusion occur. Therefore, the effective membership of rural communities emerges as a peremptory task for the consolidation of their development based on community development planning. It assumes a quantitative qualitative approach, and is of a correlational descriptive type, which seeks the association and relationship of the variables that intervene and influence the community planning processes. A survey is applied to 384 people who live in communities in rural areas, among them the actors in the development of the localities are considered, such as community leaders and heads of households. For the statistical analysis, descriptive statistics and a multiple regression model are incorporated. The research establishes that community participation, ancestral knowledge, along with natural resources are the most important elements that contribute to the planning of the development of rural communities.

“…These studies identified various motivating factors for the use of these systems, such as human attitudes and subjective norms [14], understanding the underlying motivations of intended users [16], perceived usefulness, perceived satisfaction, trust, and social influence [17] [19], expected performance, perceived task-technology fit [19], perceived control and perceived cost of system installation and operation, group identification and conformity to its expectations [18], convenience motivation, hedonic motivation, cost saving, and time reduction in shopping [15].…”

“…As for the electronic services offered by the government, including those accessible through mobile technology (m-Government), there are numerous scientific articles in the research databases, that have analyzed the factors influencing the acceptance of e/m-Government and the adoption of electronic services in general, both in developed and developing countries. These studies address the phenomenon from the perspectives of citizens, businesses, and government officials [6], [7], [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39], but the factors leading to system failure are still a matter of debate in the literature [16].…”

e-Government implementation in Kosovo's food processing and agriculture sectors offers significant benefits in terms of efficiency, production quality, information access, and transparency. However, e-government's potential does not guarantee user acceptance, and many governments grapple with low adoption rates of e-Gov. This research empirically examines factors influencing citizen adoption of e-government systems in Kosovo's food processing and agriculture sectors. It assesses the e-Government program's development from 2008 to 2023. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with key figures from the Information Society Agency (ISA), responsible for e-government in Kosovo. ISA has implemented various services, with 151 community e-Gov services available through the e-Kosova government portal, focusing on online grant and subsidy applications for the food and agriculture sector. The study tests the impact of seven factors in e-Gov adoption: Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of Use, Compatibility, Observability, Trialability, Image, and Trustworthiness, combining elements from the TAM and DOI. Data collected from 185 respondents, including food producers, farmers, agriculturists, hotels, and university students, utilized a closed-question questionnaire. Results showed significant influence from Perceived Usefulness, Observability, Trialability, and Trustworthiness on citizens' willingness to use e-government services. Understanding these factors is crucial for governments aiming to increase e-government adoption and make informed IT investments for sustainable development.
