THE CPSR Newsletter, Summer 1997 Community Space and Cyberspace: What's the Connection ?
This issue of the CPSR Newsletter is dedicated to the theme of the March DIAC-97 conference in Seattle, offering those of you who could not join us a glimpse into the discussions of the weekend and hopefully providing thought-provoking ideas for those of you who were there as well.
The articles examine various connections between physical community space and cyberspace -- the need to guarantee the existence of public spaces in the new commercial media channels; the use of these public cyberspaces to debate solutions to physical community-space problems; and three projects that use computer networks to address community problems. The projects focus on the problem of giving children a voice in community affairs, developing a financially self-sustaining community network that builds the economic strength of its members, and a community networking project whose story offers lessons in sustainability that must be addressed if the community networking movement is to succeed.
