Os impactos das tecnologias digitais em comunidades tradicionais: uma revisão integrativa da literatura.

Abstract

This academic work investigates the impacts of Digital Technologies in traditional communities. The methodology adopted was based on an integrative literature review, which conducts a comprehensive examination of the literature related to the topic, allowing for the discussion of methods and findings. The use of digital technologies in traditional communities has gained prominence through the application of these tools in initiatives focused on cultural preservation, community training, and health promotion. The consulted studies indicate that digital resources have been employed to expand access to information, support educational activities, and strengthen communication between professionals and residents, including initiatives aimed at the prevention of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) and the appreciation of local knowledge. Even in the presence of challenges mentioned in the studies, such as the constraints related to technological infrastructure in certain contexts, the documented experiences show that the adoption of these technologies, when aligned with the sociocultural reality of the communities, contributes to the development of social practices, the advancement of training processes, and the continuity of traditional cultural elements.
