Abstract [en]

The chase for technological advancements is a train which the whole world wants to catch in order to streamline and expand on the current systems found within each respective society. New technological solutions are constantly being invented and re-invented for the purpose of accommodating to new development strategies. But much of the systems being introduced in the development sector are not well known by the general public, and examples of practical solutions and the importance of local adaptation are often left behind promises of prosperity and revenue. To understand how to implement localized technological solutions is through this paper realized to be one of the first steppingstones that will lay the foundation for development. Drones have become a worldwide sensation, known for its versatile and adaptable nature and now being introduced in even more areas never thought of before. By being involved with healthcare, security, agriculture, transport, military, observation and humanitarian assistance have made drones a lucrative solution that many seek to incorporate. 

This thesis explores some of the applications listed above through a structured focus comparison of case studies in order to expand the knowledge about drones as a sustainable development solution, while also exploring the importance and challenges in the implementation of similar solutions. By using the Technology Justice framework, we will be able to understand how the solutions can be sustainable and acquire longevity in development projects when used as a solution to reach development. We can see the importance of the local context and how the lack of it can cause the projects to collapse even before they begin.

Let us embark on a journey taking us through the present day of technological solutions and the implementation of them to understand how to make them right.
