ICT Needs in European Towns

In order to identify the information and communication technology needs of European towns the METASA project was started 2 years ago within the RTD 4th framework of the European Commission (Telematic Application Programme DG XIII-C) and financially supported by this organization. METASA (Multimedia European Experimental Towns with a Social-pull Approach) has taken as starting point an in depth analysis of users´ expectations, thereby making "citizen users" actors in the collaborative definition of multimedia services. By this "social pull"-approach the residents of 4 towns in France, Germany and Spain, have identified those services they really aim at in the following application domains:

  • public administration relations with citizens
  • education and training
  • health care
  • employment and quality of life
  • culture and entertainment

Based on those service needs a technical platform "Town-Net" has been developed. This concept is optimized to allow for a step-by-step implementation in line with the implemented services.
