自從1995年美國首先提出數位落差概念開始,一國的數位落差狀況即成為影響國家在國際間資訊國力強弱的一環。本研究以「數位台灣計畫」項下之「縮減城鄉數位落差」子計畫,主要執行的「創造偏鄉數位機會推動計畫」,94年度設立的33個數位機會中心(DOC)為研究對象,數位機會中心為我國縮減城鄉數位落差的政策執行工具,本研究同時採用了政策執行的由上而下途徑( top-down implementation) 與由下而上途徑( bottom-up implementation) 的整合模式,試圖了解數位機會中心在縮減數位落差理論的資訊近用(access)、資訊素養(literacy)、資訊應用三個主構面下,我國縮減城鄉數位落差的政策執行狀況。本研究得到下列結論: (一)數位機會中心現階段執行方式並未能全面涵蓋數位落差理論三構面 (二)各項構面呈現的強度在政策制定與實際執行上仍存在落差 (三)主構面下的各項工作雖皆能涵蓋但缺乏圓滿均衡的執行比重 (四)執行縮減城鄉數位落差工作仍有不足與忽略之處,需能全面兼顧 (五)數位機會中心無法一體適用,須考量各地狀況因地制宜
As the idea of “Digital Divide” proposed by U.S. government in 1995, the status of digital divide comes into an important indicator to evaluate the national competitiveness in each country. This study chose 33 Digital Opportunity Ccenters (DOCs) established in 2005, in the project-- “Bridging Digital Divide in Rural Area” under the e-Taiwan policy as the research object. This research tries to understand how to bridge the digital divide in rural area through setup DOCs from viewpoint of the policy implementation in two ways — top-down model and bottom-up model. This study adopts the theory of bridging digital divide in three scopes: information access, information literacy and information application. The findings of the research are shown as below: 1.DOCs can’t fulfill the three scopes of digital divide theory completely in the first year. 2.In each scope, the study results shows that there are still some gaps between policy plans and policy implement. 3.The sub-items in each scope doesn’t have balanced percentage of execution. 4.The project of “Bridging Digital Divide in Rural Area” doesn’t have a whole picture to take care all kinds of people like handicapped lived in rurals. 5.DOCs can’t evaluate with same indicators because every DOCs have totally different backgrounds.
