Abstract
The purpose of this study was to identify the intention to use of information and communication technology(ICT) for the elderly residing in community based on the theory of planned behavior. The subjects were 99 elderly aged 60 or older living in G and S cities from January 1 to 31 in 2020 using questionnaire. The data was analyzed using the SPSS 23.0 program for descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, multiple regression. As a result, the mean of the attitude to use of ICT for the elderly was 3.79±0.74, subjective norm was 3.43±0.66, perceived behavioral control was 3.12±0.71, behavior intention was 3.23±0.77. The intent to use of ICT for the elderly are subjective norm(β=.35, p<.001), perceived behavior control(β=.35, p<.001), had an explanatory power of 48.7%. Therefore, it is necessary that systematic program considering the above factors for elderly residing in community to promote the intent to use of ICT.
