Abstract

The paper examines the role of traditional and indigenous knowledge and technology including the role of citizens in knowledge management of sustainable environment, health, water resources, education, habitat, disaster and emergency response, food security, clean energy etc.

The motivating factor is that most of the villages in developing countries are small and literally cut off from the rest of the world and hence under serviced. Social services particularly in health must therefore promote a combination of traditional and scientific approach. This calls for recognition of people who apply natural and traditional methods to sustain life.

Teknologi Kampungan - A Collection of Indigenous Indonesian Knowledge Systems - By Craig Thorburn

There is no well defined boundary between a subsistence and a market economy and the vast majority of people in developing nations live in a space where characteristics of both economies mingle. The result is a juxtaposition of day-to-day survival with the latest 21st century gadgetry including SatelliteTV, 3G cellphones and the broadband internet.
