Abstract

This study explored the everyday information practices of ethnic minorities with small populations in resettlement poverty alleviation areas of Yunnan, China, to determine the conditions affecting their information practices. A qualitative approach was conducted, and data were collected through comprehensive interviews involving forty-eight participants. This study applied information practices as a conceptual tool to understand ethnic minorities’ information needs, acquisition and sharing. The data were statistically analysed and processed using three qualitative data coding analysis levels to identify the conditions that affected their everyday information practices.The research findings demonstrated that with the change in living space and social communication relationship of such ethnic minorities, their information practice changed considerably. In addition, their ethnic identity, spatial conversion and social integration were the main conditions that could influence everyday information practices after moving into a new environment. The results promoted the understanding of ethnic characteristics as conditions that could influence everyday information practices after the spatial and social environment changes of relocated ethnic minorities.

中国扶贫安置区人口较少民族信息化实践探索
本研究通过对云南扶贫安置地区人口较少的少数民族的日常信息实践进行研究,确定影响其信息实践的条件。采用定性方法,通过48名参与者的综合访谈收集数据。本研究以资讯实践为概念工具,了解少数民族的资讯需求、获取与分享。使用三个定性数据编码分析级别对数据进行统计分析和处理,以确定影响他们日常信息实践的条件。研究结果表明,随着少数民族生存空间和社会交往关系的变化,其信息实践发生了较大变化。此外,他们的种族认同、空间转换和社会融合是影响他们进入新环境后日常信息实践的主要条件。研究结果促进了对民族特征作为影响迁移少数民族空间和社会环境变化后日常信息实践的条件的认识。
