1 Project on topic : "Culture and Human Relations" The Human Relations Area Files (HRAF) are a compilation, indexing, and distribution of a collection of ethnographic and other texts that are indexed by culture and subject, from 400 member institutions located in over 30 nations.This domain is named as "HRAF". HRAF indexes the information in its collection of ethnography by culture and subject.

2 LOGO Evolution of Culture Culture has been addressed as an influential factor of human information behaviour. For example, Chatman (2000) found that cultural and social norms do affect ways in which people choose to respond, are passive, or ignore information.It is generally agreed that information seeking and use are not processed objectively but rather interpreted through expectations about life experience.Culture shapes the meaning of people's information behaviour and rules determine who is to be considered an information agent. The way which is handling, exchange and use information is determined to a large extent by the culture of our environment. Through living and working, people discover, shape, or create information during the process of interacting with the environment or other people.

3 LOGO About Culture domain in opinion of Solomon P. Ortiz "Information is something that is embedded in the fabric of people's lives and work. Information is constructed through involvement in life's activities, problems, tasks and social and technological structures, as opposed to being independent and context free" Solomon P. Ortiz is a person who had studied public sciences and Culture domanin. However, the role of culture or its influence on human information behaviour is not stated explicitly. How should the relationship between culture and information behaviour be considered? Culture is usually seen as a situation which triggers people's information need. This paper argues that we not only can view culture as a situation but also as a big, boundless and invisible feeling of community, in which people's information behaviour is embedded. Culture as a situation not only stimulates people's information need, but also influences people's way of seeking and using information. Also, people filter information through the various components of culture.

4 LOGO Factors which Relations between Culture and Humans are based on:

5 LOGO Aspects of Organisation life between Human's relations This aspects are : Relationships- Values Shadow elements Engaging the Person Applied Wisdom Conflicts-trust Working with power

6 LOGO The relationship between culture and Taiwanese aborigines' information behaviour: This figure illustrates this relationship between culture and human information behaviour. Through the internalization and externalization processes, the tradition shapes people's stock of knowledge and forms their prejudices, horizons, values, habitus, common sense and specific knowledge. When people encounter a situation and need information, they will react to it with their own knowledge firstly, to judge if they need to seek information or not. If their own knowledge (or prejudice) can bridge the gap, they do not need to seek other information, on the contrary, they seek other information to help them. Through using the information and internalization, they extend their stock of knowledge. Again, the stock of knowledge determines if people will seek information or not. This circular and interactive relationship between culture and information behaviour, is denoted as information fullness and emptiness.

7 LOGO Conclusions Theoretically, this research puts forward a new model of information behaviour and focuses on the role and the importance of culture when thinking about and studying human information behaviour. Methodologically, this study demonstrates how an ethnographic research method can contribute to exploring the influence that culture has on human life and the details of the human life world and information behaviour.
