Priorities for Electronic Tools

The Internet was ranked the most important electronic tool for 1-way provision of access to environmental information. CD-ROM, email, and SMS were considered to a lesser extent important tools for information dissemination.

Telephone/fax machines, email and SMS were considered most popular as 2-way communication tools, rather than the Internet.

Newspapers, brochures and posters were important non-electronic tools.
 

Regionally:

  • In Western Europe, the Internet was rated an important 2-way communication mechanism, besides electronic tools that support real-time state of the environment data capture, exchange and dissemination.
  • In Central and Eastern Europe, Internet and CD-ROM were most popular for publishing, and email and public kiosks for dialog exchange.
  • In the NIS region, a keen interest was shown in a diverse selection of modern and traditional electronic tools, for dissemination and 2-way communication.
