ABSTRACT

The purpose of this research is to understand Information Network Villages from inhabitants’ perspectives about both village life and supporting policies. An ethnographic approach incorporating in-depth interviews is utilized in order to understand the reality of life in the villages and hence policy implementation. This study takes a policy-subject-centered approach to policy evaluation and constructs a process-centered analysis. The findings reveal that residents interpret policies differently from policy makers, due to experiencing the policies as a part of their everyday life. Consequently, it is crucial to highlight residents’ views, not least because policies may be experienced differently in each region as a result of different regional cultures. These cultural characteristics affect residents’ views about Information Network Villages.
