摘要

摘要 技术进步的分布并不均衡。国与国之间、地区与地区之间,甚至个人与个人之间都存在着差异。因此,"数字鸿沟"(digital divide)成为代表这些差异的总称。最近,研究重点已转向信息和通信技术的使用成果或有形利益(第三级数字鸿沟)。作为一个新兴经济体,土耳其必须克服数字鸿沟,实现有形利益的最大化。因此,本研究从确定土耳其的数字鸿沟指标入手,进一步研究土耳其各地区之间的数字鸿沟。其主要目的是提出目前文献中所缺乏的地区范围的综合指数。为此,本研究首先探讨了数字鸿沟指标。然后,在主成分分析 (PCA) 的帮助下,为土耳其制定了一个新的指数。结果图显示了地区和城市范围内的数字不平等,但城市范围内的不平等更为显著。增加技术使用的多样性、关注性别平等、扩大研发支出、支持各种倡议,特别是信息和传播技术倡议,将有助于土耳其减少数字不平等现象。

Assessment of Regional Digital Divide in Türkiye
Abstract Technological advancement has not been equally distributed. It has differed from country to country, region to region, and even among individuals. As a result, the digital divide has emerged as an umbrella term to represent these disparities. Recently, the research focus has shifted to the outcomes of information and communication technology usage or tangible benefits (the third-level digital divide). As an emerging economy, Türkiye must overcome the digital divide to maximise tangible benefits. Thus, this research starts by determining the digital divide indicators for Türkiye and goes further to examine the digital divide between regions in Türkiye. The main aim is to present a comprehensive index for the regional scale that is currently missing in the literature. To do so, this research starts with exploring the digital divide indicators. Then, with the help of principal component analysis (PCA), a new index is formulated for Türkiye. The result maps indicate digital inequalities both at regional and city scales, yet inequalities are more remarkable at the city scale. Increasing the diversity of technology usage, focusing on gender equality, expanding R&D expenditures, and supporting initiatives, especially ICT initiatives, will assist Türkiye in reducing digital inequalities.

期刊介绍: Quaestiones Geographicae was established in 1974 as an annual journal of the Institute of Geography, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań, Poland. Its founder and first editor was Professor Stefan Kozarski. Initially the scope of the journal covered issues in both physical and socio-economic geography; since 1982, exclusively physical geography. In 2006 there appeared the idea of a return to the original conception of the journal, although in a somewhat modified organisational form. Quaestiones Geographicae publishes research results of wide interest in the following fields: •physical geography, •economic and human geography, •spatial management and planning,
