E-WORK LIKE DEVELOPMENT TOOL IN RURAL SURROUNDINGS

Many of the tasks that are executed in different jobs do not require of the presence of the worker in their position and can be realised remote using the TIC. This way the times of displacement are diminished and the idlings without tasks are reduced that to realise at the same time as a replanificación of the work considers leaving itself to focus by “hours in the work” to “hours spent to the work”.
When talking about “at distance” it is spoken of which the work can be carried out in its house, the house of a relative or friend, in a hotel, a restaurant, a bus, cyber or in any other place. E-work also is used by people with some type of limitation who cannot physically be transported to their work area, as well as by people who live in countries different from the one from their work area.
The TIC is an important point for the development of E-work, since they allow the processing of information for his use or the communication. In these the computer can be included, the fax, the movable telephone, Internet (electronic mail, chat, called on IP, videoconferences, etc).
The advantages that all we know at the time of exerting E-work and enough are many plus which we are going to discover during the days that are going away to realise in Berlanga de Duero during ATALAYA LAN: but what can contribute E-work to the Rural Development? We think that it is an important motor for the socioeconomic development of this type of zones: they attract families to live in matchless surroundings or even unimaginable, they offer quality of life that often is lost in the daily vortex of the great cities, familiar dedication and personal, they become to recover semi-disappear places and, which is more important, the activity of the countryside is reactivated: these families bring children to the schools, more people supposes the development of more services public (education, medicine, transport, leisure…), the private services improve (the hotel trade, markets…), etc. Really, from ATALAYA LAN we want to consider that E-work is a tool of economic and social reactivation of countryside and that in the mid term it will give to origin to evolutions logics of developing surroundings: work, SMEs, growth… to advance without losing the own identity.
