- Abstract
- As information technology evolves, the concept of digital divide evolves into the concept of digital inequality. The research aim is to discover if there are different digital inequalities, and to find factors that exacerbate digital inequality in the remote rural areas of South Korea. For our purposes, a model with factors (age, income, education, region, and gender) was tested to show the digital inequality gaps between rural areas of South Korea. We expect that the research findings can be applied to the situations of other countries and used to make digital inequality strategies and policies in improving rural living environments. © 2010 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
