SMART RURAL vise à créer un programme d’apprentissage à l’utilisation des TIC et des applications mobiles pour les adultes impliqués dans des activités agricoles dans les zones rurales. Le projet propose la création d’une méthodologie de formation ad hoc à partir d’une approche basée sur les besoins des agriculteurs eux-mêmes, leur offrant des connaissances de base et spécifique sur les applications mobiles.

SMART RURAL Project – Results of the surveys

Transnational Study, December 2016

The synthesis of the surveys includes a total of 280 respondents in the four partners countries: 49 in Austria, 123 in France, 62 in Spain and 46 in Ireland.

In all four countries involved in this study, the results showed that the target group already owned mobile equipment (85% in France and in Ireland, 84% in Spain and 70% in Austria).

Despite a certain number of obstacles, most people say they are ready to use the Internet or mobiles applications via their mobile phone, apart from Austria where 55% of the target group declares having no opinion on this topic.

Nevertheless, a better knowledge of existing websites and professional applications, as well as a better use of the mobile devices would be very welcome. Finally almost everybody (even in Austria) agrees on the need of support or training in the general use of Internet.
