The implementation of technologies in Developing Countries often has to face some critical factors, such as: rapid population growth and changing lifestyle; lack of sensitivity and citizen participation; weakness of the regulatory framework and its application; fragmented and inefficient organizations; insufficient and inappropriate material and infrastructural resources; limited financial resources or inefficient management of tariffs; limited human resources (staff size, skills, ability and motivation); lack of environmental monitoring, etc.. These factors are often among the main causes of the failure of international cooperation projects that promote the use of such technologies. Their introduction and dissemination needs a rigorous multidisciplinary methodological approach, which allows a process of selection and implementation of appropriate technologies able to consider the peculiarities of the context and to integrate with the local traditional uses and capabilities of the beneficiary population.

Abstract
The implementation of technologies in Developing Countries often has to face some critical factors, such as: rapid population growth and changing lifestyle; lack of sensitivity and citizen participation; weakness of the regulatory framework and its application; fragmented and inefficient organizations; insufficient and inappropriate material and infrastructural resources; limited financial resources or inefficient management of tariffs; limited human resources (staff size, skills, ability and motivation); lack of environmental monitoring, etc.. These factors are often among the main causes of the failure of international cooperation projects that promote the use of such technologies. Their introduction and dissemination needs a rigorous multidisciplinary methodological approach, which allows a process of selection and implementation of appropriate technologies able to consider the peculiarities of the context and to integrate with the local traditional uses and capabilities of the beneficiary population.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
