본격적인 정보화시대를 맞아 정부에서는 정보화사회를 조기에 구현, 정착시키고자 행정,금융, 교육/연구, 국방, 복지등 5개 분야에 걸친 국가 기간망 구축사업을 위시하여 각종 정보화 정책 및 사업을 추진하고 있다. 그러나 국가정보화사회를 성공적으로 구현하기 위해서는 그의 인프라(Infra)인 지역별 정보화가 추진되어야 한다. 지역정보화는 이제 국가정보화사회를 구현하는데 필수적으로 거쳐야 할 중간단계로 인식되고 있다. 충북지역에서도 청주/청원 지역을 정보화의거점으로 삼아 지역데이타베이스를 구축하고 이를 공중통신망에 접속하여 주민들이 가정이나 직장에서 컴퓨터 단말기를 통하여 필요한 정보를 검색하고,주민간 상호정보교류는 물론 의견이나 제안을 해당 기관 및 단체에 알릴 수 있는 본격적인 지역정보통신 시대를 개막하고자 하는 계획을 추진하고 있다. 그러나 지역정보란 개념과 범위가 방대하고 이용집단에 따라 정보 수요가 다양한 차이를 보일 수 있기 때문에 단번에 지역의 모든 집단의 정보수요를 충족시킬 수 있는 데이터베이스를 구축한다는 것은 불가능한 것이다. 따라서 지역 데이터베이스는 단계적이며 일관성을 유지한 추진 계획과 지속적인 구축노력이 필수적이다. 이러한 배경하에 본 소고에서는 정보항목별 데이터베이스 구축의 우선순위를 파악하고 데이비스의 기술수용모델을 중심으로 사용자에 대한 기술 수용태도를 알아보기 위해 검증을 시도하였다.

The purpose of this study is to explore the improvement method of the emergency safety system as a social protection scheme for the elderly living alone with severe disabilities. The study was conducted by randomly choosing three regions in the metropolitan area (Jongno-gu, Seoul), the small-medium city (Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do) and the rural area (Geochang-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do) among 17 cities and counties nationwide. The study method is based on the interview form of the structured questionnaires with city officials, county officials, and center operators. According to the results of the interview analysis, it was recognized that there was a need for an emergency safety system for the elderly living alone with severe disabilities. In spite of this necessity, there were problems about publicity for the discovery of victims of the blind spot in welfare, about inconvenience due to frequent malfunctions of the emergency equipment, about insufficient awareness of the security of the emergency officials and about supply and demand of manpower for 24-hour monitoring service. In order to improve the effective operation of the emergency safety system, it was the most urgent issue to formulate the legislation for responding to the crisis management of the vulnerable. A suggestion of this study is to build a safety system in which one-stop service is provided for the realization of compact welfare through the establishment of a MOU for linkage with community organizations, the full inspection of emergency equipment to solve safety equipment malfunction problems and the manpower supplement for 24-hour monitoring.
