Abstract-This paper highlights best practices of technological influenced e-government using ICT, emerging mobile and web 2-0 technology for the effective health Care & disease management system. Modern technology has given a whole new dimension to the concept of good governance, thus embarking a strong and effective influence on citizens and cultural trends. Authors have investigated successful case studies, which are taken from existing practice of egovernment health care projects within Pakistan.Pakistan was hit by the epidemic of dengue, affecting over 350,000 people in 2010. Due to the unprecedented scale of epidemic, the basic health infrastructure was not ready to address the issue. However by 2012 a monitoring mechanism was devised as an e-Govt health care activity, to log all field activities related to prevention/eradication of the disease. The project focused mobile reporting using android phones, EDGE services, and Google maps. 650 smart phones users reported 43,000 activities. The information received was extrapolated to bring all stakeholders of anti-dengue campaign on a single platform and DIMS (Dengue Information Management System) was conceived. Features of DIMS include:A central dashboard to view and dispose of complaints on real-time coming in from the Helpline and Hospitals e-CRS (Electronic Complaint Routing System). 2 Vector Surveillance System for tracking and reporting all indoor / outdoor larvaciding activities. 3 A Disease Reporting System to manage the clinical and lab diagnosis records of dengue affected patients.Utilization of this system has resulted in 0 % deaths reported due to dengue in the past 1.5 years. Careful investigation of step by step usage, reporting to DMIS with Android phone and working behavior of ICT infrastructure are elaborated in this research.
Often, social perspectives of the Arab Revolution give a lot of credit to Facebook as the primary catalyst for political mobilization and citizen journalism. Although Facebook as a platform can be acclaimed for helping to shape this situation, this research argues that the role of Facebook is often exaggerated. In the context of this work, the ‘Arab Revolution’ refers to the period in which former President, Hosni Mubarak, was ousted from power in January 2011 and the term ‘revolution’ is not used to signal a radical transformation of society. Empirically, this article addresses the role of social media and in particular, Facebook, before, during and after this revolution. It examines the impact of this new technology on the rise of online social activism by investigating the effect of citizen journalism on forming public opinion, exploring the relationship between citizen journalism and the acceleration of the events that led to the Egyptian revolution. It also explores the impact of social media on citizen activism after the fall of Mubarak’s regime. In this case citizen journalism refers to the production of media content with the aim of changing public opinion. Empirical data for this research work were both qualitative and quantitative. Four hundred survey questionnaires were distributed to Facebook users to identify their usage before, during and after the 25 January Revolution to find out their views on social media activism and its impact on public opinion. The questionnaires covered the duration from June 2010 to June 2015. In addition, intensive interviews were conducted with media experts and political activists to gain a deeper insight of the role of citizen journalism in social change. Findings demonstrate that during the three stages of the Egyptian revolution, covered by this research, social media remained significant, albeit with a slight difference in its use by protesters. During the revolution, social media networks were primarily the outlets that Egyptians used to report local events to international media. The post revolution period has also witnessed an interest in social media networks. Facebook has made Egyptians more politically and socially conscious and encouraged them to participate in social and political events such as presidential and parliament elections. However, this research work reports that the use of such platforms does not seem to have had much impact on political change in Egypt during the last few years.
Cet article explore les stratégies adoptées par les réfugiés palestiniens au Liban, afin de trouver des moyens alternatifs pour accéder à un logement sur le territoire libanais, en contournant les lois qui les marginalisent. En prenant comme étude de cas l’extension du camp de réfugiés de Nahr el-Bared, l’article analyse le système informel de développement des espaces de regroupement palestiniens, et montre que ce système fournissait de facto aux habitants une importante sécurité du logement jusqu’à la guerre dans le camp en 2007. En examinant ensuite les enjeux de la reconstruction de Nahr el-Bared, et les obstacles auxquels celle-ci s’est trouvée confrontée, l’article met aussi en évidence l’importance d’étudier les espaces de regroupement palestiniens dans ce processus. A priori , ils sont en effet plus vulnérables que les camps en temps de conflit, étant donné les stratégies et les politiques discriminatoires de l’État libanais à leur encontre, ainsi que l’absence de soutien politique destiné à ces regroupements, et l’intervention limitée de l’UNRWA au-delà des camps officiels.
