Objective
This project will create a co-ordinated set of pan-European longitudinal household panel studies to generate quantitative data on time-use, uptake of IST's, IST competencies, environmental impact and perceived quality of life. It will conduct analysis of this data to describe, explain and model relationships between the uptake and usage of ISTs and changes in citizen's lives and to understand how these patterns contribute to changes in lifestyles and/or quality of life. The results will be made available as a resource for future analysis or for use in subsequent projects via a website, publications and a managed programme of workshops to engage public and commercial policy makers. Finally the consortium will work towards an on-going pan-European household panel study aimed at measuring and testing the hypothesised benefits of IST's.
The project will review best practice in longitudinal panel study methods together with best advice on suitable parameters for measuring the information society which match the project's analytic aims; implement a set of data collection instruments and recruiting a stratified sample of European households from a range of member and associated states;collect a first wave of data on the time use, uptake of IST's, IST competencies , environmental impact and perceived quality of life of individuals within these households and conducting analysis on the cross-sectional patterns of distribution of these parameters across contrasting socio-economic groups and contexts; and then collect a second wave of identical data on the same individuals after 12 months and conducting casual analysis to describe, explain and model trends in these critical parameters and to relate these trends to changes in the uptake and usage of information society technologies.
