The Call Center's objective is to address the need of the farming community, using ICT, professional help and thus providing information at the farmer's doorstep, through this toll free telephone number. The study was conducted to assess the awareness of farmers about Kisan Call Centre, to analyze the extent of utilization, and to elicit constraints experienced by the farmers in using the services of the Centre. The study revealed that only 14% of the farmers were aware of the Kisan Call Centre. Among the users (farmers) of the Centre, 73 per cent came to know about the Call Centre through different media such as newspaper (30%), radio (23%) and television (20%), while 23 per cent knew about the services of the Centre through the local agricultural extension worker. Ninety per cent of the farmers used the Call Center service more than once, with 30 per cent of them four times or more. Most of the farmers contacted the Centre to get information on plant protection (34.44%) followed by crop cultivation (26.67%). Majority of the farmers who used the Call Centre were satisfied with the service. However, the farmers experienced problems in getting connected to the Call Centre. The farmers demanded for alternate solutions as well as for field service following the advisory services.","PeriodicalId":357217,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS)","volume":"124 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133419614","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their method of livestock farming is non-modern and is characterized by traditional livestock keeping practices and non-adherence to livestock rearing best practices. However, they have not been left behind in embracing mobile technology. The technologies in their disposal present opportunities that can be harnessed to increase productivity. For instance, the moderately high penetration of mobile phones among these communities provide a platform for mAgriculture interventions. This research aims to establish the readiness of pastoralists in Kenya, towards the usage of mAgriculture technologies that have the potential to transform their way of livestock keeping. The research explores the technologies available to the pastoralist communities living in three different Arid and Semi-Arid areas of Kenya, the level of exposure to mAgriculture platforms among these communities and how social, cultural and religious factors determine their adoption of mAgriculture innovations towards socioeconomic empowerment. The research was conducted in Marsabit, Wajir and Isiolo regions of Kenya. Information was collected using questionnaires as well as Focus Group Discussions among the participants. It was observed that a large number of pastoralists in Kenya own mobile phones, and a number of them have been exposed to mAgriculture applications. However, the mAgriculture innovations exposed to them have not been helpful due to social, cultural, religious and technological factors have hampered their penetration. The research identified the needs among these communities that can be met using mAgriculture platforms and proposes different ways of implementing these innovations among this group of people.","PeriodicalId":357217,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114901702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The problem with these developments is that they are implemented in isolation. This isolation causes limited sharing of resources, duplication, poor-governance of the resources, and in worse-case scenarios, failure of these projects is realised before their intended purposes. The smart community centre model that could be used to address these problems by focusing on the Siyabuswa Educational Improvement and Development Trust (SEIDET) community centre for experimentation purposes has been proposed. This model followed a descriptive analysis of ICT related work spanning over two decades performed within the SEIDET context, including the ongoing SEIDET Digital Village. The benefits of this smart community centre model include community and rural development through sharing of scarce ICT resources. It could further provide support for entrepreneurs through training interventions, action-based research for policy development as well as spawn local innovation and free-sharing of resources and services. This model can further be adapted to any local community, as it is designed using the international studies and theories. This paper presents the design of the smart community centre model. The design is described using Practice Theory concepts towards an empirical study that will be conducted using the General Morphological Analysis methods to corroborate aspects of practices. The scenario of how these theories could be practiced within the SEIDET centre is also presented.","PeriodicalId":357217,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS)","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130240965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
