Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze relationship between community participation and smartphone usage level. The study was conducted for 100 people aged 55 or older. We conduct a task-based questionnaire to evaluate smartphone usage level. The levels of smartphone use were reclassified as 0~3 points C level, 4~7 points B level, and 8 points or more A level based on task-based survey score. For data processing, SAS 9.4 was used. As a result, a total of 97 data were included in the result analysis, and 85 smartphone users(87.6%). There was a significant correlation between smartphone usage level and community participation(r=0.22). As a result of using ANOVA, the smartphone usage level and community participation scores showed a significant difference(p=0.04). This study confirmed that there is a difference in community participation by smartphone usage level. Most elderly people showed high smartphone education demand. It is considered necessary to develop educational programs and educational tools to improve educational satisfaction and smartphone usage.
