정보격차 문제는 기존의 사회 경제적 불평등을 심화시킬 개연성이 크고 사회통합마저 저해할 위험이 있어 1990년대 중반부터 미국을 비롯한 선진국은 물론 UN, OECD, ITU 등 여러 국제기구에서도 정보격차해소를 위해 많은 노력을 경주해 오고 있다.

This study examined the output performance of papers published in international journals in the LIS field over the past 20 years and used the Gini coefficient and Hirschman-Herfindahl (HHI) index to understand the international gap in academic paper output and its changes. In addition, the characteristics of academic publications were visualized focusing on the top producing countries of academic papers, and differences according to sub-research areas were also identified. As a result of the analysis, first, although the United States and China are leading the publication of papers over the past five years, the results produced by the Netherlands showed relatively high influence and international and industrial cooperation results. Second, a high inter-country gap index (g= 0.7-0.8) has been maintained in terms of paper production and citation volume over the past 20 years, but the concentration of top countries is showing a trend of easing over time, as CR3 (Concentration Ration 3) decreased from 63.3% to 43.2%, HHI decreased from 2,129.6 to 976.1. Third, the LS field showed the highest gap between countries and a high degree of concentration centered on the United States, while the SM field was confirmed to be the most dispersed.

This study examines the moderating effect of sociodemographic factors on the relationship between motivation and outcomes of digital device use. The data from 'the 2020 Survey on the Digital Divide' conducted by National Information Society Agency was used for empirical analysis. Significant interaction effects were observed between sociodemographic characteristics and motivation. The results also show that motivation was a primary predictor of the differences in outcomes of digital device use, the third-level digital divide. These findings have implications for closing the third-level digital divide.

This study examines the impact of national economic restructuring on regional development patterns. Korea's development over the last decade has been characterized by a rapid economic restructuring towards the information economy. This economic restructuring has had significant impacts on regional development patterns. The most remarkable feature is a clear coreperiphery disparity in terms of levels of informatization. Seoul showed an extraordinarily high level of informatization. The process of regional development in the information era is marked by an intensified spatial division of labor, which articulates with the pre-existing pattern of regional disparity. Information infrastructrue improvements for regional development do not necessarily result in reductions in regional unevenness. There is an urgent need to develop the integrated regional informatization strategy.

The purpose of this study was to suggest policy implications for bridging digital divide of the students of multicultural background. Specifically, through maximizing equity of Information technology, the current study suggested the need for greater intervention and comprehensive strategies in the interests of a socially inclusive information society, of benefit to the IT disadvantaged. To achieve the research goal, I reviewed a variety of policy reports and previous studies related to the issue of digital divide and multicultural education, and draw useful implications for the policy change. The major research results were as the following: a policy change in a support of personal computer toward public place rather than individual home, widening use of e-learning service as a tool for bridging the digital divide, and the training for teachers and parents to provide an effective education to reduce the digital divide.

본고는 일본 ITU협회에서 발간하는 “국제전기통신연합과 일본” 7월호에 소개되어 있는 세계통신의 해 특집 "국제통신에있어서 통신Infrastructure의 현상과 문제점"을 편역한 것이다. 오늘날 세계의 정보화추세에 따라 전기통신의 비중이 더욱 증대되고 있음에 비추어 본고는 전기통신이 사희적 경제적 Infrastructure로서 중요한 역할을 수행해야 됨을 국제적인 면에 촛점을 맞추어 전개하고있다. 특히, 선진국과 개발도상국간의 전기통신과 정보의 격차와 불균형, 다시말해서 정보의 남북 편재현상이 심화되고 있는 오늘날 새로운 정보질서를 어떻게 꾀하여 갈 것인가를 언급하고 있으며 나아가서 선진국간에 있어서도 각 국의 전기통신 정책의 차이에 의하여 초래되고 있는 문제점을 지적하고 있다.

In this paper, we develop the Women's Information and Communications Technology Development Index (WIDI) framework for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Member States. While there are a number of global ICT indices, there are no standard global data metrics for ICT gender-related statistics in developing countries. Therefore, this research has been conducted by the Asia Pacific Women's Information. This study referenced some of the major global ICT indices and created a framework that used their basic structure and included the various measurement factors such as socio-cultural factors element and ICT policy for woman. The WIDI framework is supported by a back-end survey that was designed by the research team and reviewed by ASEAN taskforce members. Through WIDI, we can compare ICT development status and gender information gap and measure the national information gap. By presenting the basis for policy decisions on eliminating gender disparitie can help improve the social status of women.

정보산업은 우리나라 여건상 국가발전을 위한 전략산업으로서 많은 잠재력을 갖고 있다. 또한 국가사회의 정보화 촉진을 위한 핵심수단으로서 정보산업의 성장 및 발전은 시급한 과제라고 할 수 있다. 특히 국민의 정보화 체감도와 밀접한 관련이 있는 정보 이용부문에서는 선진국과의 격차가 더욱 큰 상황에 있으며 정보이용부문을 비롯 국가정보화 수준을 혁신적으로 제고하기 위한 정보산업육성방안의 수립이 시급한 상황에 있다. WTO라는 새로운 국제환경의 변화에 적극적으로 대응코자 정보화 및 정보산업에 대한 금융지원 방안을 제시함으로 21세기 핵심산업으로 부상하고 있는 정보산업관련 금융지원방안의 주요내용을 본고에서 알아보고자 한다.
