Abstract

The sustainable development of society depends, on the one hand, on the development of innovative technologies, on the other hand, on the positive and negative effects of this development. Social acceptance of new technological solutions seems to be also a key factor. One of the future technologies is 5G, which will undoubtedly have an unprecedented impact on socio-economic development. The scientific discussion on the risks caused by electromagnetic radiation in the context of a new wireless communication technology – the fifth generation (5G) standard – is going on around the world. The scientific aim of the study is to analyze the factors determining the social attitude of Poles towards 5G technology. Among the factors included are: general society attitudes of technology, the scale of actual Internet use, demographic characteristics and pro-health society attitudes. Data was collected using the CATI technique. The interviews were carried out among 1005 Polish citizens. The obtained results confirmed statistically significant relationships between the variables: attitudes towards technology (ATT) and attitudes towards 5G technology (ATT5G). Research has confirmed that people who use the Internet more frequently have more positive attitudes towards 5G technology. New knowledge regarding public attitudes toward 5G technology has been accumulated through research

社会对5g技术的态度——以波兰为例

社会的可持续发展一方面取决于创新技术的发展，另一方面取决于这种发展的积极和消极影响。社会对新技术解决方案的接受程度似乎也是一个关键因素。未来的技术之一是5G，它无疑将对社会经济发展产生前所未有的影响。在新的无线通信技术——第五代(5G)标准的背景下，关于电磁辐射造成的风险的科学讨论正在全球范围内进行。该研究的科学目的是分析决定波兰人对5G技术的社会态度的因素。这些因素包括:一般社会对技术的态度、实际互联网使用的规模、人口特征和支持健康的社会态度。使用CATI技术收集数据。对1005名波兰公民进行了访谈。获得的结果证实了对技术的态度(ATT)和对5G技术的态度(ATT5G)这两个变量之间的统计显著关系。研究证实，使用互联网频率越高的人对5G技术的态度越积极。通过研究积累了公众对5G技术态度的新知识
