“…Also, different categories of IS have different objectives and produce different types of benefits and value, so they require different kinds of evaluation methods and measurements. Farbey et al (1995) classify IS into eight categories based on the method required for evaluating them (mandatory IS, automation IS, direct value added IS, management information and decision support systems (MIS -DSS), infrastructure IS, inter-organizational IS, strategic IS and business transformation IS) and propose a different evaluation approach for each of them. Smithson and Hirschheim (1998) classify the existing IS evaluation methods into three basic categories.…”

“…Along nineties emerge complementary strategies which are based in different methodologies (Farbey et al, 2009) and/or different functionalities (Smithson and Hirschheim, n.d.) linked to the evaluation of Information Systems. Both provide quantitative measures and qualitative indicators to evaluate the reaching and performance.…”

ABSTRACT:In this work we develop a multiply interconnected system which involves objects, agents and interactions between them from the use of ICT applied to open repositories, users communities and web services. Our approach is applied to Architectural Cultural Heritage Environments (ACHE). It includes components relative to digital accessibility (to augmented ACHE repositories), contents management (ontologies for the semantic web), semiautomatic recognition (to ease the reuse of materials) and serious videogames (for interaction in urban environments). Their combination provides a support for local real/remote virtual tourism (including some tools for low-level RT display of rendering in portable devices), mobile-based smart interactions (with a special regard to monitored environments) and CH related games (as extended web services). Main contributions to AR models on usual GIS applied to architectural environments, concern to an interactive support performed directly on digital files which allows to access to CH contents which are referred to GIS of urban districts (involving facades, historical or preindustrial buildings) and/or CH repositories in a ludic and transversal way to acquire cognitive, medial and social abilities in collaborative environments.

“…Extensive research has been conducted in the last three decades concerning the methodology of information systems (IS) evaluation (Land, 1976;Hirschheim & Smithson, 1988;Farbey et al, 1995;Smithson & Hirschheim, 1998;Farbey et al, 1999;Irani et al, 2001;Irani, 2002;Love et al, 2005;Irani et al, 2006), motivated by the big IS investments being made by private and public organizations, which necessitate an investigation of the value they produce. This research has concluded that IS evaluation is characterised by a number of inherent difficulties and complexities.…”

The evaluation methodology has been based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), which has been elaborated and adapted to this particular type of IS, taking into account the particular objectives and capabilities of this platform. Our main evaluation dimensions were usage, ease of use, functional usefulness, political usefulness and importance of discussion topic; each of them has been analysed into a number of sub-dimensions. Using this methodology five pilot applications of this platform in "real-life" situations and problems have been evaluated with both quantitative and qualitative techniques. Finally it has been concluded that the use of GIS tools can provide significant value in the area of e-participation, which however depends on a number of context factors, such as citizens" computer literacy and familiarization, trust to the political system, interest of the sponsoring public authorities, appropriate promotion, importance of the topic under discussion and quantity and quality of reference information appended on the digital maps by public authorities.
