| Building a Regional Community with IT: The Practical IT Education in My Case |
| Prefectural University of Kumamoto, Japan |
| In Japan, e-Japan planning is actively moving forward and the infra-structure for a computerized society is being |
| worked on. But, at present it is fumbling and groping to find good ways for a regional community to use IT. This |
| university’s administration department (Ad-ministration Science), with information technology (IT) as its base, is |
| pursuing increasing the effective-ness of public administration and management commonality. Namely, that public |
| administration, com-panies, the public and NPO co-operate with the aim of realizing a "Citizen Centered Society" |
| and an "Active Regional Community." |
| This paper introduces Research into How Building a Regional Community with IT Can be done (Phi-losophy) and |
| four actual examples of Specifically using IT for Trial Information Systems (Practical Science) implemented by the |
| department’s 4th year student’s graduation research in accordance with the complementary theme "Regional |
| Close-contact Information Systems". Through this practical research, the students were able to understand the |
| methods for planning and building a system to use IT in a re-gional community. The task from here on is how to |
| expand the functions in order to deal with new tech-nology and effectively use the system. |
