 Dear students, now we are going to discuss the third example of the physically based virtual community. And this example is NetVile. Let's see the features of the NetVile. NetVile is a wired suburb located on the outskirt of a Toronto and it is a complex of approximately 120 homes and designed and built in the mid 1990s. These houses are detached but closely spaced single family homes and each house has two thousand square yard area and three to four bedrooms. So if we talk about this particular project of NetVile, this project was developed by a suburb housing project and when it was being developed, it was developed with this vision that we have to provide it with access to the virtual community network. So NetVile work was equipped from the beginning with a local electronic network capable of providing high speed internet access and NetVile had a computer video phone facility, a variety of music health and entertainment services and neighborhood discussion forums. So these services were inbuilt in this housing project and they provided it in every apartment of this project. When we talk about the research on the NetVile, we come to know that NetVile teachers were widely promoting, promoted during the early sale of homes in the state. So when this housing project was advertised, it was presented as a salient teacher that the salient feature of this housing project is that you will get a virtual community network here. And a special research consortium was established to monitor technical and social developments. And one of its developers did this that a consortium was built in which the purpose of that research consortium was to conduct studies on its technical and social features of this community network and highlight its achievements, problems and implications. So when we talk about its social science fieldwork, then Kate and Hampton led that fieldwork. So when we talk about the Hampton's emphasis on conducting research on NetVile, he was concerned to determine the influence of communication infrastructure on the social relations that residents maintain with neighbors, friends and relatives and colleagues within an outside NetVile, online and offline. So he was concerned to see the role of this online community network in maintaining social relations within this particular community and outside the community. How do these community members of NetVile Housing Project utilize this virtual community network within a particular NetVile community? How do they utilize this community network to maintain their social life? How do they utilize this platform outside the NetVile community to maintain their communal life? For this purpose, Hampton resided in NetVile for a period of two years and integrated into the social life of the neighborhood. Professor Hampton stayed there for two years and observed the communal life closely and he participated in both online and offline activities. He also conducted a survey of the residents regarding his network of social ties. And the findings of the survey suggest that the electronic network supported both weak and strong social ties ranging from those purely functional in nature to those grounded in social and personal issues. His findings tell us that the community members of NetVile utilized this online community network to build their weak and strong social ties. Weak social ties were developed on particular social issues and strong social ties were developed on the basis of their mutual interest. The social ties of the residents connected to the electronic network significantly differed from residents not connected. The one more finding of that survey was that those who utilized online community network their social ties were much stronger than those who did not utilize this online community network. And they knew more of their neighborhood names and talked to and visited with them more often. Their level of social participation was much higher as compared to those who did not utilize this online community network to maintain their social life. And the wire residents maintained a broader range of social contacts than their non-wire counterparts. So his survey also tells us that those who utilize online community network their social capital was much higher than those who did not utilize this online community network. So this research provided ground-breaking results and on the basis of these results further research was conducted on the virtual community networks that how virtual community networks contribute in the development of the social relationships within and outside the community. Thank you.
