Abstract
The primary purpose of this mapping exercise was to gather intelligence for development of a methodology to assess the impact of public access to ICT. The paper aims to capture the experiences of villagers in Bangladesh, focusing on how rural people interact within and outside their community to collect, use, and assimilate information and knowledge for various livelihood and social purposes. This “Information Ecology Mapping” exercise is part of the larger project, “The Global Impact Study of Public Access to information and Communication Technologies.”
