Vol 42 (2010)
In this regular volume of EJISDC we present eight papers.
In the first paper, Ellahi and Manarvi explore conditions underlying the acceptance of computer-based information systems by police officers in Pakistan.
In the second paper, Abukhzam and Lee investigate the factors determining bank staff attitude towards the adoption of e-banking systems in Libya, where there is considerable employee resistance to the adoption of new technology.
In the third paper, Sife, Kiondo and Lyimo-Macha document the contributions that mobile phones can bring to rural livelihoods thereby alleviating poverty, with a case study of the situation in Tanzania.
In the fourth paper, Li and Rao explore the role that Twitter can play as a rapid response news service, focusing on the immediate aftermath of the 2008 earthquake in Sichuan, China.
In the fifth paper, Mensah, Duncan and Annku explore the role of land information systems in managing challenges associated with speculative developments on land set aside for development.
In the sixth paper, Duncan, Kuma and Avane demonstrate how large sets of remotely sensed data (e.g. from satellites) can be processed to as to reveal land surface deformation due to surface mining. However, subsequent analysis of the data so as to avoid potential slope failure is very difficult.
In the seventh paper, Musa, Oyebisi and Babalola evaluate the effect of ICT on the quality of quantity surveying services in Nigeria using the SERVQUAL model. They find that ICT positively affects the quality of services provided.
In the last paper, Yates and Shapiro demonstrate how a sustainable legal information system can be established in the context of developing countries, with specific examples based on their worn in Afghanistan and Azerbaijan.
