The Ethnographic Research of the Digital Divide
DIGITAL DIVIDE IN ISTRIA A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Communication of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Igor Matic August 2006 The dissertation entitled DIGITAL DIVIDE IN ISTRIA by IGOR MATIC has been approved for the School of Telecommunications and the College of Communication by Karen E. Riggs Professor, School of Telecommunications Gregory J. Shepherd Dean, College of Communication ABSTRACT MATIC, IGOR, Ph. D., August 2006, Mass Communication DIGITAL DIVIDE IN ISTRIA (209 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Karen E. Riggs This dissertation covers the Digital Divide phenomena in the Istrian region. Istria is a Northern Adriatic peninsula that is administratively divided between three European countries: Croatia (which covers approximately 90% of the peninsula), Slovenia (app. 7%), and Italy (app. 3%). In this dissertation my goal was to articulate the most influential theoretical frameworks that are used to explain the Digital Divide today and I try to give an explanation of the issue through ethnographic procedures. The goals of this research include the examination of the current Digital Divide debate, extension of the theory toward the local understanding and perception of this global phenomenon. Additionally, I wanted to identify different interpretations of the Digital Divide in three countries within one region and compare the differences and similarities in new technology usage and perceptions. Also, I was interested to see how age - which is described as one of the major Digital Divide factors - influences the relationships between older and younger generations, specifically relationships between parents and children, instructors, students and co-workers. -

National Informatization Policy in Korea: a Historical Reflection and Policy Implications
Lee, C. (2021). National Informatization Policy in Korea: A Historical Reflection and Policy Implications. Korean Journal of Policy Studies, 36(1), 27–43. Articles National Informatization Policy in Korea: A Historical Reflection and Policy Implications a Changhee Lee Keywords: policy implications, success factors, achievements and limitations, national informatization policy in korea, informatization Vol. 36, Issue 1, 2021 This study examines, from a historical and macro perspective, the national informatization strategy that Korea has pursued over the past 40 years which laid the foundation for the rise of Korea as one of the leading countries in the digital revolution today. In particular, the informatization process is divided into five phases from the 1980s to the present, and analyzed in three aspects – main policies and plans, policy implementation system and structure, and major laws. And based on the previous research results, the success factors of informatization in Korea are discussed in terms of policy actors and institutions, policy implementation process, and policy environment. After examining the limitations of Korea’s informatization policy, policy implications for developing countries are drawn in terms of policy process, policy design, and policy instruments. INTRODUCTION REVIEW OF PRIOR RESEARCH AND STUDY APPROACH As is well known, Korea has experienced a rapid eco- nomic development, often referred to as the “Miracle of the There are many previous studies on the development of Han River,” as it grew from one of the poorest countries Korea’s national informatization policy. In particular, most in the world after World War II to the world’s 12th largest of the studies review the informatization process by divid- 1 economy. -

The Information (Society) Race
The Information (Society) Race LaszloZ.KARVALICS Information Society and Trend Research Institute, Technical University Budapest <zkl@itm. bme. hu "This is the source of a paradox in dealing with the information society: it is simultaneously a sociological adventure and a daily strategic challenge, an anthropological promise and a raw commercial reality, a chance to improve the quality of life and an economic battle which hinges on gaining competitive advantage. " Abstract: This paper sets out to analyze the information competition element. Prior to a review of the roots and of the two parts of the current intensifying information society race, we will take a look at the historic prelude, the functioning of some pre-information societies - that is to say we will glean from the patterns of the making of competitive advantage in information among nations from the early high cultures to the middle of the 20^^ century. As a "prehistory", we will outline the emergence of the information society and its development into a competition problem: principally the movement of the American-Japanese tandem (1961-1978) and the pursuing bunch (1978-1991). And finally, we will analyze the decade (1992-2002) of comprehensive national information strategies, demonstrating that in the measurable domain of the information society there really are winners and losers: systematic information society development programs have tangible outcomes. The gap is widening, and the developed countries are winners every time. We can observe the real information society race taking place between them. Key words: Information society, communication technology, history, competition Perspectives and Policies on ICT in Society INTRODUCTION When illustrating the strategic stake of the "information society" many people refer to the 1996 report of IDRC (International Development Research Center).
