“…From the standpoint of the literature reviewed within this paper, economic factors such as economic status and various funding sources (Moghaddam & Khatoon-Abadi, 2013), household wealth (Kilenthong & Odton, 2014), and household income (Ndung'u et al, 2012) influence the adoption and usage of ICTs. This study is consistent as economic facilitating conditions such as financial situation of individuals, ICT costs, and public outlay have significant effects on ICT adoption and usage.…”

“…At the same time, the other factors such as individual (age, gender, ICT knowledge and skills, education level, interest towards adopting innovations), social (the users' household attitude toward ICTs as leisure entertainment and working), technological (complexity), and economic are found influential. The findings of research on the usage of ICTs in rural and urban Thailand suggest that household composition, education, wealth, and occupation are key factors determining ICT adaption and usage (Kilenthong & Odton, 2014).…”

“…However, most studies are grounded in the context of welldeveloped economies, e.g., United Kingdom (Choudrie, Vyas, Voros, & Tsitsianis, 2013; and Germany (Maier, Laumer, & Eckhardt, 2011;Niehaves & Plattfaut, 2011). Researchers also examined factors affecting the adoption and usage of ICTs in households of non-European developing countries, e.g., in Jordan (Abu-Shamaa & Abu-Shanab, 2015;Dwivedi, AlAlwan, Rana, & Williams, 2015), Thailand (Kilenthong & Odton, 2014), and China (Yang, Chen, & Wei, 2015). The author of this paper, after extensively searching the literature, did not uncover any deep studies about factors affecting the adoption and usage of ICTs within households in less developed European countries, which are called transition economies.…”

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) encompassing computer and network hardware and software, and so on, as well as various services and applications associated with them, are assuming a growing presence within the modern homestead and have an indelible impact on the professional and everyday life of people. This research aims to explore factors influencing the successful adoption and usage of ICTs within Polish households. Based on prior literature and practical experiences, a framework of success factors is provided. The required data was collected from a survey questionnaire administered to a sample of Polish households to examine this framework and identifies which factors are of greatest importance for the adoption and usage of ICTs within households in Poland. Based on 751 questionnaires the paper indicates that the adoption of ICTs within households is mainly influenced by the economic status of households and cost of ICTs, perceived economic benefits from the usage of ICTs, technological availability and security of ICTs, ICT competences and awareness, as well as satisfaction with the adoption of ICTs. Furthermore, gender, education, and place of residence do not reflect significant differences on the factors. Yet, there are significant differences among the factors that could be attributed to age. Both, policy makers and ICT providers can benefit from the findings with regard to bridging the gap of ICT adoption and use in the Polish households.

“…Today, ICTs have a fundamental role in economy and society. These tools connect people, generate goods and services at a global scale and increase access to information and knowledge (Kilenthong & Odton, 2014). In the face of this, one of the greatest challenges is full incorporation of rural spaces into digital globalization, therefore it is required to promote access, use and approval of ICTs to increase local diversification and development (Tolón, 2008).…”

La expansión de las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación (TIC) en todos los ámbitos de nuestra sociedad se ha producido a gran velocidad y está en constante evolución. Este artículo presenta un análisis documental sobre el papel de las TIC en el desarrollo rural, donde la literatura muestra que las TIC pueden ser una herramienta para promover el desarrollo en condiciones adecuadas de acceso y uso, no obstante, las zonas rurales de los países latinoamericanos y en particular México, muestran disparidades estructurales que limitan el acceso y el uso a estas tecnologías. Por lo tanto, para la obtención de beneficios a través del uso efectivo de las TIC por parte de la población y los sectores productivos rurales, se requiere de políticas públicas con pertinencia local que aumenten la cobertura de los servicios de telecomunicaciones y las iniciativas de alfabetización digital, así comola articulación de la política de TIC con otros programas sociales que contribuyan a una mejor calidad de vida.

“…Education and economic capacity have a negative relationship with digital poverty. The higher education and economic capacity, the less likely to become digital poor [8][9][10], besides the location of residence, availability of BTS, signals are also seen to influence the conditions of digital poverty [11][12][13].Kponou [14] found that digital poverty conditions had a negative effect on the success of universal telecommunications services in Africa. The higher education and economic capacity, the less likely to become digital poor [8,9,12].…”

In terms of the use of information and communication technology (ICT), the East Java government actually needs to identify the groups most affected by the lack of digital inclusion. This is in accordance with one of the nawa bhakti satya's visions, namely the strengthening of people's basic rights and social disruption brought about by the 4.0 technological revolution. Budgetary wastage will occur if we do not know the size of digital poverty in urban districts, especially if various public services are in digital form, but not everyone who uses these public services understands digital.In this study, individual micro data from the 2015 and 2017 of National Socioeconomic Survey districts/ cities in East Java was used which will be aggregated with Podes data for 2018. This is seen as strong enough to analyze the factors affecting district/ city digital poverty in East Java. To map the conditions of digital poverty, classifies districts/ cities into four quadrants as seen from digital poverty and economic poverty, while to find out what factors influence digital poverty are carried out testing the structural relationship between variables using the ordinal logistic regression method.This study is analyze the condition of digital poverty along with the factors that influence it both from economic conditions, demographic conditions, and the availability of infrastructure in districts/ cities in East Java. In addition, it is hoped that the analysis in this study will be able to provide consideration for policy makers in dealing with digital poverty issues, especially pro-poor telecommunications communication policies.
