摘要

随着数字技术在私营和公共部门以及一般人群中的几乎无处不在的使用，数字化转型正在成为趋势。先进技术造成的破坏需要战略性的应对措施，以减轻这种破坏的负面影响，并产生积极的变化。此外，COVID-19大流行等其他干扰也对我们认为的正常生活施加了限制，进一步催生了对数字技术的利用。尽管数字化转型的影响可以通过不同的指标来评估，包括数字经济和社会指数(DESI)，但它们在痛点和改进可能性方面并没有提供足够的清晰度。上述技术的可用性和最佳使用所需技能的差异与用户的教育水平、年龄和经济状况密切相关，这是政府和政策制定者需要考虑的额外参数，数据驱动的决策对于确保对-à-vis数字化转型的最佳决策和投资至关重要，例如欧盟恢复和弹性基金。本文利用从5000多名受访者收集的数据，分析了斯洛文尼亚在2018年至2021年之间的数字化转型，以数字鸿沟和COVID-19危机为重点，检测人口统计学方面的技术使用差异，并将斯洛文尼亚与其他欧盟成员国的经验进行了比较，特别关注在线公共行政服务。我们的研究结果表明，数字鸿沟是斯洛文尼亚的主要差异因素，因此性别并不重要，斯洛文尼亚最年长的一代和年轻一代的一些成员在努力进行数字整合时面临问题。与其他欧盟成员国相比，根据DESI，斯洛文尼亚是平均水平，但研究结果表明，欧盟成员国应考虑其具体情况，以解决自己的DT范式。

THE IMPACT OF THE COVID-19 CRISIS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE INFORMATION SOCIETY IN SLOVENIA

Digital transformation is trending pursuant to the almost ubiquitous use of digital technology by private and public sectors, and general populations. The disruption caused by advancing technology requires strategic responses to mitigate the negative aspects of such disruption and generate positive change. Other disruption, moreover, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, additionally imposes limitations on what we consider to be normal life, further engendering the utilization of digital technology. Even though the impact of digital transformation can be assessed by means of different metrics, including the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI), they do not provide sufficient clarity in terms of pain points and improvement possibilities. The differences in relation to the availability of said technology and the skills necessary for its optimal use, which are closely related to user education level, age, and economic status, are additional parameters governments and policymakers need to consider, and data-driven decision-making is essential to ensure optimal policy-making and investment vis-à-vis digital transformation, such as the EU Recovery and Resilience Facility. This paper analyses Slovenia’s digital transformation between 2018 and 2021, using data collected from more than 5,000 respondents, to detect technology use differences in terms of demographics, focusing on the digital divide and the COVID-19 crisis, and compares Slovenia’s experience with other EU Member States, focusing especially on online public administration services. Our results evidence that the digital divide is the main differentiating factor in Slovenia and that gender is accordingly not of great import, and that Slovenia’s oldest generation and some members of younger generations face problems when endeavoring to digitally integrate. Compared to other EU Member States, Slovenia is average according to DESI, but the findings show that EU Member States should take its specifics into account to address their own DT paradigm.
