Keywords: ICT; social support; senior; community; CSF

Abstract:
This work-in-progress research focuses on “the ICT enabled community-based support system” in Japan, which has done a great job on improving the quality of the seniors’ social life. The goal is to adopt a qualitative research approach with a multiple case design and the Social support theory to zoom in the research questions: 1) how do various communities use the deployed ICT to support the social life of the seniors? 2) How the general Critical Success Factors (CSFs) act during constructing and managing the ICT project? The originality of this research is that it takes multiple representative cases and reforms them into a generalized conceptual model for further research and application.
