[Add a map of esociety classifications and show areas classified as ‘e-unengaged’, ‘e-marginalised’ or ‘becoming engaged’. Refer to Annex 3 for descriptions]

GeographiesAnnex 1: GlossaryLower Super Output Area (LSOA): local areas within

local authorities. Each English and Welsh local authority is split into a number of smaller areas called LSOAs. For example the City of London has five as shown below:

Data zones: are the similar to LSOAs but in Scotland.

Decile: Deciles have been calculated by ranking all LSOAs (or datazones in Scotland) and then dividing the rankings into 10 bands. The top decile, decile 1, represents those LSOAs that are ranked in the top 10% of LSOAs in the country. Similarly the bottom decile, decile 10, represents those LSOAs that are ranked in the bottom 10% of LSOAs in the country. Deciles have been calculated for each country – England, Scotland & Wales.

Quintile: Quintiles have been calculated in a similar way to deciles but there are only 5 bands. The top quintile, quintile 1, represents those LSOAs that are ranked in the top 20% of LSOAs in the country.

Type A E-unengaged:The ‘E unengaged’ are typically groups that do not have access to electronic communications or technologies. Most are too old, too poor or too poorly educated to be able to access them, and instead traditionally rely upon personal contacts they trust for advice. Within this group there is a very low level of ownership of personal computers, very little access to them at work and little ambition to master the skills necessary to take advantage of information technologies. Unsurprisingly, these people have a very low level of using email at any location (home, work and other locations) or participating in other on-line activities.

Type B E-marginalised:The ‘E – marginalised’ are not necessarily averse to the use of electronic technologies but often lack the disposable income to equip themselves with them, or the training and education needed to understand how to make effective use of them. In this group we find very low level of PC ownership and very little use of the Internet to obtain information or to undertake transactions. This group does use simpler and less expensive technologies such as mobile phones.

Type C Becoming Engaged:Members of this group often acquire their competence in the use of information technology at work, since many of them are young people working in junior white collar occupations in modern offices. They are keen to become more expert in the use of new technologies and to use them for new applications. Many spend time browsing the Internet but without necessarily making many transactions.







Type D E for entertainment and shopping:This group includes a number of moderately well paid blue collar workers for whom the Internet and personal computing provide important leisure activities. This group tends to use the Internet not for obtaining information about products or for learning, but rather to provide access to music, games and general entertainment. People in this group are smart enough to learn new methods of accessing what they want but they are not necessarily interested in technology for its own sake.

Type E E-independents:This group tends to take a rational and considered view of electronic communications and technologies. These people are not interested in mobile phones, texting or the Internet as lifestyle accessories; they do not feature as major topics of conversation within the social networks to which they belong and they do not provide a significant focus for leisure activity. However people are reasonably well equipped and use the Internet to search for information, to buy products and to undertake transactions where there are obvious efficiency benefits.

Type F Instrumental E-users:This group tends to use electronic technologies for purely instrumental purposes, because they provide a practical method of saving time or money. They have plenty of other leisure activities that they enjoy and tend to be light television watchers. However they find the Internet useful for purchasing on line. Generally they use the net to undertake transactions and manage their personal finances rather than to explore.







Type G E-business users:This group includes many people who use electronic technologies in order to run their business. These may be people working in a technology related business or in a small business which needs to keep in electronic contact with its suppliers or its customers. Many of this group are self employed and make relatively little use of the technology as a leisure activity. The group is well represented in upper income neighbourhoods attracting older professionals as well as in the countryside.

Type H E- experts:Members of this group have every confidence in their abilities to undertake on-line transactions and to make full use of electronic technologies. These are the types of people who are able to make use of personalisation and configuration options. They enjoy exploring the features in electronic menus and will navigate them in an efficient manner. They prefer on line to inter-personal sources of information and make use of the Internet as an information source for obtaining best value for money. These people are heavy email users. Many of them are involved in the development of information technology applications at work, and see leisure time spent on electronic technologies as enhancing their human capital. Many recent graduates belong to this group. This group is particularly concentrated in large cities and in the South East of England.
