1 | VIDEO: ‘Hacking Democracy’ in Loja, Ecuador | LAHATSARY: ‘Miditra Demokrasia an-tSokosoko’ ao Loja, Ekoatera |
2 | In Loja, a city in south Ecuador, citizens are using social networks to communicate with their leaders and to offer concrete proposals seeking to better their city's situation. | Ao Loja, tanàndehibe ao atsimon'i Ekoatera, mampiasa tambajotra sosialy hifampiseraserana amin'ireo mpitondra ny mpiserasera ary manolotra hevitra mivaingana hanatsarana ny toe-draharaha an-tanàndehibe. |
3 | With backing from the Global Voices VideoActivo project, the organization Loja es Más - or #LoxaEsMás [es] (Loja Is More) on Twitter- launched the video “Hackeando la democracia” [es] (Hacking democracy), where they tell us more about their work in Loja. | Nampahafantatra ny lahatsary “Hackeando la democracia” [es] (Misovoka ao amin'ny demokrasia) tamin'ny alalan'ny Twitter ny fikambanana “Loja es Más” - na #LoxaEsMás [es] (mihoatra noho izany i Loja), niaraka tamin'ny fanohanan'ny Tetikasa Global Voices VideoActivo, lahatsary izay hiresahan'izy ireo amintsika bebe kokoa momba ny asan'izy ireo ao Loja. |
4 | Loja es Más seeks to build a democratic society where voting [es] is not the only way to participate. | Mitady hanangana fiaraha-monina demokratika ny “Loja es Más” izay tsy ny fifidianana [es] ihany no fomba handraisana anjara amin'izany. |
5 | On his blog drw, linux, java y más.. [es], Darwin Betancourt recognizes that it is very easy to criticize, but notes that the city of Loja has made history with its use of social networks and technology. | Tao amin'ny bilaogy drw, linux, java y más.. [es], niaiky i Darwin Betancourt fa mora ny mitsikera, saingy nanamarika izy fa nametraka ny tantarany tamin'ny fampiasana tambajotra sosialy sy ny teknolojia ny tanànan'i Loja. |
6 | We are making history, it's time to change it's time to act, its time to act as the BIG BROTHER for our city heading back once more to the path of progress, not waiting for saviors or that this or that member of the public administration was better or worse than another but instead starting to add ideas and implement them ourselves, we are using the necessary means to communicate among ourselves and to not allow ourselves to be manipulated by the media 1.0. | Mametraka tantara isika, fotoana hiovana sy fotoana hirotsahana an-tsehatra izao, fotoana hiasana tahaka ny RAHALAHY LEHIBE (BIG BROTHER) an'ny tanànantsika mitodi-doha indray ho amin'ny lalan'ny fandrosoana, tsy mila miandry mpanavotra na toy ny izany na ireo tompon'andraiki-panjakana tsaratsara kokoa na ratsiratsy kokoa noho ny hafa, mampiasa izay tsy maintsy ilaina isika hifandraisantsika mba tsy hilalaovan'ny media 1.0. antsika. |
7 | The more than 50 project participants, without counting the almost 2,500 followers of @loxaesmás on Twitter [es], present themselves as optimistic and believe in the democracy of their dreams. | Samy mampiseho ny fanantenany sy fitokisany ny demokrasia nofinofisiny ireo mpandray anjara amin'ny tetikasa maherin'ny 50, ka tsy isaina intsony ireo mpanaraka ny kaonty Twitter @loxaesmás [es] manodidina ny 2.500. |
8 | Denise Calle, on her blog El alma de Campaniche [es] (The Soul of Campaniche), celebrates the career of #lojaesmás on their first anniversary and states: | Nankasitraka ny asan'ny #lojaesmás nahatratra ny fahaherintaonany i Denise Calle, tao amin'ny bilaoginy El alma de Campaniche [es] (Ny Fanahin'i Campaniche) ka nanoratra hoe: |
9 | My dream for Loxa is immense… immense…more than once I've imagined it big, huge, like a model for this country…For me, that is #LoxaEsMas!!! | Midadasika ny nofinofiko ho an'i Loxa… midadasika… mihoatra noho izay nieritreretako ny halehibeny, hagoavany, ho modelin'ity firenena ity…Ho ahy, izany no atao hoe #LoxaEsMas!!! |
10 | That's why I fight every day, from anywhere, a year ago from Quito, now from Latacunga. | Izany indrindra no hitolomako isan'andro, na aiza na aiza, herintaona lasa izay avy tao Quito, ary ankehitriny avy ao Latacunga. |
11 | The goal is that, return and grow… grow in Loxa… fight for Loxa… | Ny tanjona dia, ny hitodi-doha sy hihalehibe… hihalehibe ao Loxa… hitolona ho an'i Loxa… |
12 | Carlos Correa, one of the organizers of ‘hacks para Loja es Más' [es] (hacks for Loja is More), explains that Loxa was the name by which the city was originally founded in 1548. | Carlos Correa, iray amin'ireo mpikarakara ny ‘hacks para Loja es Más' [es] (mihoatra kokoa ny misokosoko ho an'i Loja), nanazava fa anarana namoronana ny tanàna tany amboalohany tamin'ny taona 1548 ny Loxa. |
13 | Correa explains [es]: “What we want is to understand the mission of the city when it was founded, to once again give it a place in important historical context and project it into the future”-a grand aspiration for the residents of this Ecuadorian city, and also a great challenge considering many residents still do not have internet. | Nanazava [es] i Correa: “Ny tadiavintsika dia ny hahafantatra ny andraikitry ny tanàna tamin'ny nanorenana azy, mba hanomezana azy toerana lehibe ara-tantara indray sy hametrahana ny tetikasan'ny hoavy”- hetahetan'ireo mponina ao amin'ity tanànan'i Ekoatera ity, sy fanamby lehibe koa satria marobe ireo mponina mbola tsy manana aterineto. |
14 | According to the Ecuadorian Institute of Statistics and Census, Internet use in Loja reduced from 31,6 percent in 2011 to 29,5 percent in 2012, which places the city in ninth [es] place for use of the internet as a means of information among other Ecuadorian citizens. | Araka ny fanadihadiana avy amin'ny Sampan-draharaha misahana ny Antotan'isa sy ny Fanisam-bahoaka ao Ekoatera, dia nihena avy amin'ny 31,6 isan-jato tamin'ny taona 2011 ary lasa 29,5 isan-jato kosa tamin'ny taona 2012 ny fampiasàna aterineto tao Loja, izay mandahatra azy ho laharana fahasivy [es] amin'ny fampiasana aterineto ho fitaovam-pandefasana sy fahazoam-baovao raha oharina eo amin'ireo olo-pirenena Ekoateriana hafa. |
15 | As a part of the Twit Callejero initiative, participants of #LoxaEsMás posted tweets throughout the city. | Sioka nandritra ny tetikasa Twitter Callejero, mpandray anjara amin'ny #LoxaEsMás nalefa manerana ny tanàna. |

17 | Ecuador, however, advances in the launch of its own satellite [es] and in the creation of its own Ciudad Conocimiento [es] (City of Knowledge). | Na dia izany aza, nahomby tamin'ny fandefasana ny zanabolany [es] sy ny famoronana ny Ciudad Conocimiento [es] (Tanànan'ny Fahaizana) azy manokana i Ekoatera. |
18 | Furthermore, in Ecuador one can find several non-governmental city projects, which are apolitical and seek to offer ideas to their leaders. | Ankoatra izany, ahitana tetikasa tanàna maro tsy miankina amin'ny fanjakana ao Ekoatera, izay tsy misy idirana politika ary mikasa hanolo-kevitra ho an'ireo mpitondra ambony. |
19 | That is precisely the intention of #loxaesmás. | Izany no tena fikasan'ny #loxaesmás. |
20 | But the reach and range citizens can have with a project based on social networks is debatable, considering that not all Loja residents have internet and that many may not even have a clear idea of what it means to “hack” a democracy. | Saingy mampiady hevitra ny karazana sy ny hamaroan'ny olona tratra mety hanana tetikasa miankina amin'ny tambajotra sosialy, satria tsy ny mponiny Loja rehetra no manana aterineto ary maro ihany koa ireo tsy mahafantatra ny dikan'ny hoe “miditra demokrasia an-tsokosoko”. |
21 | To bridge this gap, the collective proposes to move from theory and critique to action and practice. | Mba hamenoana izany, nanolo-kevitra hiainga avy amin'ny teoria sy ny tsikera ka mandeha mankany amin'ny asa sy fampiharana. |
22 | According to an article in El Comercio [es], | Hoy ny lahatsoratra tao amin'ny El Comercio [es] |
23 | Among other proposals are digital literacy, with free technology classes for underprivileged students. | Anatin'ireo tolo-kevitra ny fahaiza-mamaky teny nomerika, ahitana kilasy fampianarana teknolojia maimai-poana ho an'ireo mpianatra sahirana. |
24 | Another project is the creation of a digital agenda for the next mayor of Loja. | Tetikasa hafa ihany koa ny famoronana fandaharan'asa nomerika ho an'izay ben'ny tanàna manaraka ao Loja. |
25 | With these projects, there are issues of promoting connectivity, developing the digital economy of businesses and supporting information and communication technologies. | Amin'ireo tetikasa ireo, misy ny fampiroboroboana ny fiseraserana an'aterineto, fampandrosoana ny toekarena nomerikan'ny fandraharahana sy fanohanana ny teknolojian'ny vaovao sy ny fifandraisana. |
26 | “Web literacy is one of the tools to achieving mass participation”, says Mario Andrés Correa [es], a ‘geek' and project participant. | “Iray amin'ireo fitaovana hanatanterahana ny fandraisan'anjaran'ny daholobe ny fampianarana hahay aterineto (Web literacy) “, hoy i Mario Andrés Correa [es], ‘geek' sy mpandray anjara amin'ny tetikasa. |
