The relationship between different stakeholders is explored in a theoretical and practical sense as a future research and practice challenge for both the study of ICTs in society (in this case, a poor community), and the fostering of community-driven innovation. The activity also offers a research challenge for understanding the cultural transformations that are necessary for bringing about more effective integration between technical and social-technical viewpoints about design and research in a social context. Current and projected community-based research activities are also outlined, including the development of a project in Australia for high-needs indigenous communities.enLiving labDigital doorway initiativeHigh needs communitiesDeveloping countriesDigital doorwayInformal settlementZandspruit JohannesburgArticleStillman, L., Herselman, M.
