摘要

台灣人口高齡化現象嚴重，居於世界前列，高齡者的生活品質必須仔細考量。尤其網路爆發的時代，台灣的高齡者網路使用率不高且數位政策成效不彰，而不能運用網路將造成高齡者福利的缺損。因此本研究旨在找出高齡者使用網路的影響因素，從而在政策面有所建議，並幫助長者健康老化以及延長退休年限，達到增加產能之效。

本文以羅吉斯迴歸模型，分析台閩地區22縣市訪查的資料，分2007年和2013年兩年度，期能找出影響使用使用網路的重要因素，其中並以使用和近用者(一個月內有使用網路)作分別探討，以勝算比說明；再輔以OLS模型對一日使用的時間(分鐘)作分析。

結果發現，隨著年紀增加會使網路使用減少，而偏遠地區、低教育或是設備的缺乏也會出現使用較少的情形，且不同的所得和職業也會造成影響，多與文獻一致。由於兩年度變化與教育部的計畫有重疊時間，基於一致性比較時，可看出區域、種族、教育程度的差距縮小，顯示教育部的努力有一定成效；但性別、設備和職業造成的影響則擴大，可能則是隨著時間的演進，網路使用的增加讓差距明顯化。根據以上情形，建議政府應持續努力維持成果，並針對不好的部分去加強，且本研究囿於問卷問項，未能更精確地探討與比較，也是未來可以改善和持續研究的目標。

Because of the rapidly aging phenomenon in Taiwan, in the top of the world, quality of life of the elderly should be considered. Especially in the network developing era, the inefficient use of the internet by the elderly and ineffective digital policies in Taiwan which make the defects of welfare of the elderly. Though, we intend to find the decisive determinants of internet use by the elderly in Taiwan that we can offer suggestion in the policy side, help the elderly aging in the smooth and extend the years of retirement which raise the capacity to society.

The study uses Logistic model to examine the determinants of internet use. Data are collected from 22 counties in Taiwan, including 2007 and 2013 survey. We analyze the difference between internet users and the recent( using in one month) respectively and explain the results via odds ratio, including the use of OLS model to analyze the time spending on internet use in one day(minutes).
We find out the results are consistent with the literature, such as the developing of age would cause the decreasing of internet usage, rumor area, low education and the lack of equipment corresponding to small amount of use and diverse income and job are also influent.

Since the time period is overlapped with the program of the Ministry of the Education, we can tell a quite achievement of the authorities concerned on the same lines judged by the reducing gap among area, race and education. On the contrary, the gap expands by gender, equipment and job, through the ongoing time which make it change obviously. According to the circumstances, we suggest the government maintain the achievement and reinforce the missing part. However, in the limit of the questionnaire, we can't compare and analyze the subject precisely, which could be a research direction and continuously improved target in the future.
