정보격차 문제는 기존의 사회 경제적 불평등을 심화시킬 개연성이 크고 사회통합마저 저해할 위험이 있어 1990년대 중반부터 미국을 비롯한 선진국은 물론 UN, OECD, ITU 등 여러 국제기구에서도 정보격차해소를 위해 많은 노력을 경주해 오고 있다.

The purpose of this study is to identify the concept and current status of resolving the gap in knowledge and information provided as a new role of public libraries. We have examined what kind of role public libraries has to play, and have analyzed the relationship of financial independence of public libraries and local autonomous entities, the use of public libraries and the social class vulnerable to knowledge and information by utilizing existing statistical data. Through this, We have presented a basic point in question needed in searching for a way to strengthen the role of public libraries in resolving the gap in knowledge and information..

급속한 정보기술의 발전과 정보사회로의 전환은 한국이 지식정보강국으로 나아가는데 많은 기여를 하고 있다. 그러나 이처럼 정보사회가 본격적으로 도래함에 따라 사회제반 부문간의 정보격차 문제가 중요한 이슈로 떠오르고 있다. 지식정보화시대 지역간, 계층간 정보격차를 완화하기 위해 사회적 안전망으로서의 도서관의 공공서비스 기능이 더욱 요구되고 있다. 다양한 컨텐츠를 최소의 비용으로 제공함으로써 이용자들의 정보접근에의 기회균등을 보장하는 것이 중요한 도서관의 역할의 일부가 된 것이다.

In most countries, public libraries are knowledge information centers, complex cultural spaces, lifelong learning facilities, and third places for local residents. The social homage spoken on the premise of this identity and socio-cultural role is the knowledge and information agora, cultural infrastructure, living room in the city, and the university of the people. However, if there is a significant gap between public libraries regardless of country or region, it will inevitably lead to information gaps, regional gaps, and cultural inequality and cultural welfare gaps among local residents. This study is regarded as the essence of regional cultural facilities and premised that the regional gap in public libraries is a factor of regional cultural gaps. Based on this premise, the gap between the location quotient, input indicators, and output indicators of public libraries of regional governments in Korea and basic local governments in the Gyeongbuk region was analyzed. And this study derived core elements through correlation and regression analysis of input and output indicators of all public libraries nationwide, developed a management model for each indicator, and suggested a plan to resolve the relative gap for public libraries by city and county in Gyeongbuk.

As the untact culture spreads, the digital divide, which is a problem of access to digital information for the vulnerable, can appear as information inequality in various fields, including the social and cultural field. This study identified the digital divide level for the vulnerable population and analyzed the effects of information accessibility, demographic and social characteristics, and physical and mental health characteristics on the information level. As a result, the higher the accessibility of information, the smaller the digital divide and the greater the digital utilization, so it is necessary to increase the accessibility of information devices and increase the ability to utilize them. In addition, the higher the age, the more women than men, and the lower the income level, the greater the digital divide, so it is necessary to increase digital capabilities through detailed class-specific programs for the vulnerable. Finally, it was found that the digital divide and the level of digital literacy had a significant effect on the life satisfaction and daily life satisfaction of the vulnerable. The expansion of competency-building education programs to enhance information utilization capabilities by changing the paradigm to a digital inclusion policy should be continuously operated.

The digital divide has become an important social issue in the two waves of informatization and aging society. This study is to comprehensively examine various theoretical approaches and discussions on the mechanisms of the digital divide and to synthetically understand the features of the digital divide in old age. This study examines 1) four theoretical approaches on the mechanisms of digital divide among people in general, 2) three theoretical perspectives and six specific explanations on the digital divide in old age, and 3) five controversial features and concepts of the digital divide in old age. Consequently, this study suggests the need for a comprehensive approach to the multi-dimensional digital divide in old age and more attention to the digital divide in old age in terms of individual well-being and social inequalities. Further implications and limitations are discussed.
