In "Conference Proceedings of the International Symposium on Learning Communities, Regional Sustainability and the Learning Society (June 13-20, 1998)." Edited by Ian Falk., 7 p., In Australia, as in other parts of the world, there is considerable interest in many quarters in the potential of new communication and information technologies to contribute significantly to the revitalization of regional communities. However, much remains to be understood about the social factors, which affect the success of innovative technology applications. Research conducted by the Queensland University of Technology indicates that gender significantly affects not only access and use of communication and information technologies, but also rural community development. By focusing on rural women's perspectives on communication issues, this research has revealed a need for the development of "soft" technologies to ensure that both social and economic development occurs in an integrated way in regional, rural and remote communities.
