Abstract

Our society is evolving into an aging society. The purpose of this study is to investigate how digital informatization capacity of elderly people, one of the so - called information - neglected people, affects social activities. To this end, we analyzed the relationship between digital informatization level and social activity satisfaction level of old elderly people based on the results of the digital information gap survey in 2017. As a result, it was found that there was a positive relationship between digital access and satisfaction level of social activities, such as whether elderly people have wired / wireless information devices and internet accessibility. Second, it was found that digital information capacity level such as PC usage ability and mobile digital device utilization ability had a positive (+) relationship with only social activities. Third, the level of satisfaction with social activities increased as the level of digital information utilization increased, such as whether they were using wired and mobile Internet. This suggests that the government needs a policy to resolve various information gaps that can enhance the level of digital informatization of elderly people.

우리사회는 점점 고령화사회로 진화하고 있다. 본 연구는 소위 정보소외계층 중 하나인 장노년층을 대상으로 하여, 이들의 디지털정보화 역량이 사회활동에 어떻게 영향을 미치는 지를 밝혀보고자 한다. 이를 위해 2017년 디지털정보격차실태조사 결과를 바탕으로 장노년층의 디지털정보화수준과 사회 활동 만족도 수준과의 관계를 분석하였다. 연구결과 장노년층의 유무선 정보기기 보유 및 인터넷 상시 접속가능 여부 등 디지털접근과 사회 활동 만족도 수준과는 정(+)의 관계를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, PC이용능력 및 모바일 디지털기기 이용능력 등 디지털 정보역량수준과 사회활동 만죽도 수준도 정(+)의 관계를 가짐을 알 수 있었다. 셋째, 유선 및 모바일 인터넷 이용여부 등 디지털 정보 활용 등의 수준이 높아 질수록 사회 활동 만족도 수준도 정(+)의 관계로 증가한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이를 통해 장노년층에 대한 디지털 정보화 수준을 높일 수 있는 정부의 다양한 정보격차해소 정책이 필요함을 알수 있었다.
