After identifying & evaluating a cause or issue for social change, you need
to create your own concept paper. A concept paper plays a valuable role in the
early stages of creating or conceptualizing ideas for your project.
According to a presentation made by Mark Jhon Oxillo (2018), a concept
paper has 5 basic parts, namely:
a. Introduction – this includes a brief introduction of your ICT Project for Social
Change
b. Purpose – part of the concept paper where you can find the reason why this
project is worth investing for.
c. Description – this includes the important information about your project.
d. Support – this includes the budget for the ICT project. It involves the things
that you need like internet connection, social media account. Anything that
you are going to use to produce your ICT project should be found here.
e. Contact Information – this includes information about the group, and how
can they be contacted. (e.g. emails, contact number)

Nowadays owning a vehicle is very accessible, because of this people
tend to own a vehicle. Most of them bought it for convenience, others are for
show but the question is that do these people have the etiquette & knowledge
about how they take their vehicles on the road?

This project aims to provide a solution to create a way where people will be
educated on the proper driving etiquette & safety tips through ICT.

to educate motorists about traffic rules using the popular social media sites such
as twitter, facebook, Instagram, etc. Features of BEH includes uploading of media
(photos, videos, audios, etc) where users and page administrator can interact with

recommended to tap organizations such as LTO and local
government unit of barangay Bagontaas to assist in giving
information about the basic traffic rules.
What I Can Do Activity 1: Audience Profiling, (Demographics
and Psychographics)
The proponents can be contacted through the following:
Email – example_email@gmail.com
Cell number – 09066202598
Guide Questions
1. Based on your selected cause or advocacy in the previous activity, can you
make a list of people who can benefit on your cause or advocacy?
2. Who are the target audience, users, and collaborators of your ICT Project?
3. How can your ICT integration help in the process of reaching those targeted
users?
4. How will your targeted users respond using ICT to a call into action?
Do you have any idea about what is audience profiling?
Audience profiling is the act of processing about who are the target users/customer
of your ICT project. It usually study and process the basic profile of your users like
their age, income, sex, location, behavior etc.
Demographics – According to a blog by Susan E. DeFranzo demographics
are characteristics of a population. Characteristics such as race, ethnicity,
gender, age, education, profession, occupation, income level, and marital status,
are all typical examples of demographics that are used in surveys.
In designing a survey, you need to know who to survey and how to analyze all of
the survey response data into meaningful groups of respondents.
Psychographics – Psychographics are just like demographics, but it
focuses on your users’ values, behavior, habits in spending their money, hobbies,
attitude, etc.
Create an online survey tool intended for your targeted users. You need to
formulate questions where in the users/members of your ICT project know what
actions can they do with your ICT project. You can use the free online survey tool
using google forms. Just visit https://www.google.com/forms/about/.
