“…Findings from our fieldwork confirm results from prior studies of mobile phones in the rural developing world [23,31,43] and reveal differences: mobile phone applications designed for one rural context (i.e., India [27]), are unsuitable for another. Our findings also suggest new research opportunities in sustainable HCI [24,39], such as studying existing sustainable ICT practices in rural Africa.…”

Mobile phone users in rural parts of the developing world, especially Africa, adapt to lack of electricity, poverty, remote locations, unpredictable services, and second-hand technology. Meanwhile, the technology developers are forging ahead, designing for "smartphones," high-speed data packets, and Internet access, not the "dumb" phones and parsimonious voice calls of the rural householder. We draw from fieldwork in Kenya with mobile phone owners to relate specific practices and issues facing rural users. Problems such as "spoiled" phone batteries and "Chinamakes" suggest larger design implications. We use our findings to motivate a design agenda for the rural poor built on the assumption of off-grid use and limited power, simple cheap phones, and Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) protocol. A key part of this agenda calls for developing usable technologies aimed at the infrastructure rather than mobile phone interface level.

“…For example, Liu et al [17] report on how rural Chinese families embraced the use of mobile phone entertainment. Rangaswamy & Sambasivan [24] documented the local practices of individuals in Bangalore, India, and reported that ownership or use of technology could either be single or collective.…”

Much ICTD research for sub-Saharan Africa has focused on how technology related interventions have aimed to incorporate marginalized communities towards global economic growth. Our work builds on this. We present results from an exploratory qualitative study on the family communication practices of family members who communicate both within and between rural, suburban, and urban settings in Kenya. Our findings reveal that family communication focuses on economic support, well-being, life advice, and everyday coordination of activities. We also outline social factors that affect family communication, including being an eldest child, having a widowed sibling, and having reduced access to technology because of gender, literacy, or one's financial situation. Lastly, we discuss new opportunities for technology design and articulate the challenges that designers will face if creating or deploying family communication technologies in Kenya.

ABSTRAK Kajian hasrat mengguna aplikasi mudah alih dalam domain pertanian masih kurang diterokai. Penggunaan m-Pertanian seperti aplikasi memberi faedah apabila menerima dan mengguna aplikasi tersebut. Tujuan kajian ini adalah untuk membangun sebuah model Tingkah laku hasrat mengguna (HM) aplikasi mudah alih penasihatan penyakit untuk tanaman lada hitam (m-Naslada), mengesah model HM serta membangun prototaip m-Naslada berdasarkan beberapa faktor daripada model HM.
