Abstract

This study examines the factors that influence the mobile social participation of elderly disabled people compared to that of young adults with disabilities. The analysis was conducted using Heckman's two-stage model. The first stage of the research focused on the populations who have mobile devices, while the second stage focused on factors that influence mobile social participation. The results of the study are as follows: for elderly people with disabilities, mobile social participation is associated with living alone, PC usage ability, mobile usage ability, internet usage ability, and attitude towards digital use. Based on the results of this research, this study presents a plan to support the mobile social participation of elderly people with disabilities.

본 연구는 청장년장애인과 비교한 고령장애인의 모바일 사회참여 영향요인을 파악하였다. Heckman의 2단계 모형을 활용하여 분석하였으며, 1단계에서 모바일 기기를 보유한 인구를 대상으로 2단계 분석에서 모바일 사회참여 영향요인을 연구하였다. 고령장애인의 모바일 사회참여 영향요인은 독거가구가 아닌 경우, PC활용능력 수준이 높은 경우, 모바일 활용능력 수준이 높은 경우, 인터넷 활용능력 수준이 높을수록, 디지털 이용태도 수준이 높을수록 모바일 사회참여 수준이 높았다. 연구에 기초하여 고령장애인 모바일 사회참여 지원방안을 제시하였다. 우선 고령장애인에게 초점을 둔 정보화정책이 요구된다. 고령장애인을 위한 정보화교육의 확대, 모바일 사회참여 성공사례 발굴 및 확산 노력이 필요하다. 또한 독거 고령장애인에 대한 부가적 지원방안, 발달장애인 온라인 사회참여 연구를 제안한다. 향후 지속적인 고령장애인과 고령 비장애인 간 비교연구를 기대한다.
