Description
Summary:This article proposes a theoretical framework and a grid procedure for analyzing the relationship between ICT and space. The author presents a position of interdisciplinary research to analyze the spatial dynamics of socio-technical systems. It shows that technology is only one element of socio-spatial components with which it interacts. Ambiguous and unpredictable, technology takes different forms (infrastructure, services, uses, ...) and can not be reduced to one of its dimensions. It unfolds on territorial contexts which model it in many spatial forms.
