数字鸿沟:英国互联网可访问性的地理人口统计图
Digital Divide: Mapping the geodemographics of internet accessibility across Great Britain
摘要:
目的:这项研究提出了英国数字可访问性的第一个单独的社会人口统计措施。数字无法访问影响了大约1000万无法访问或充分利用互联网的人,特别是影响了社会中的弱势群体。方法:地理人口分类,分析文献引导的社会人口变量在地区一级。分析:根据其社会人口变量和空间范围对所产生的集群进行分析。调查结果表明,存在三个风险集群,“大都市少数民族斗争”,“印度大都市生活”和“巴基斯坦-孟加拉国不平等”。这些都是通过全国Ofcom电信性能数据和使用国家统计局互联网使用数据的具体案例研究进行验证的。结论:仅使用当代和开源的社会人口变量,本文增强了以前的数字可访问性研究。确定数字无法访问的地区,可以集中地方和国家政府的资源和政策目标,特别重要的是,在预期的最终全国人口普查之后,作为2021年后的关键数据来源和方法。
英文摘要:
Aim: This research proposes the first solely sociodemographic measure of digital accessibility for Great Britain. Digital inaccessibility affects circa 10 million people who are unable to access or make full use of the internet, particularly impacting the disadvantaged in society. Method: A geodemographic classification is developed, analysing literature-guided sociodemographic variables at the district level. Analysis: Resultant clusters are analysed against their sociodemographic variables and spatial extent. Findings suggest three at-risk clusters exist, "Metropolitan Minority Struggle", "Indian Metropolitan Living" and "Pakistani-Bangladeshi Inequality". These are validated through nationwide Ofcom telecommunications performance data and specific case studies using Office for National Statistics internet usage data. Conclusion: Using solely contemporary and open-source sociodemographic variables, this paper enhances previous digital accessibility research. The identification of digitally inaccessible areas allows focussed local and national government resource and policy targeting, particularly important as a key data source and methodology post-2021, following the expected final nationwide census.
