“…The term "digital divide" emerged in the 21st century because of emergent innovations in ICTs. It has become the universally accepted term explaining unequal access to and usage of ICT ( Rallet & Rochelandet, 2007 ). As further described by OECD (2000 , p.10), the digital divide exists as a "gap between individuals, households, businesses and geographical areas at different socioeconomic levels with regard" to their opportunities to access the internet or digital tools and use such for a variety of purposes.…”

“…1995) and became a focus of research in the second half of the 2000s. By the time research had drawn attention to the fact that Internet access and the development of the ICT sector could fundamentally increase social and territorial inequalities (Rallet, A. and Rochelandet, F. 2007). In the 2010s, a growing body of research testified that ICT undoubtedly contributes to economic development (Pepper, R. and Garrity, J.…”

In the post-industrial age, the transformation of urban networks and urban regions was fundamentally influenced by the rapid spread of infocommunication technologies (ICT) and the Internet. People share information in their daily lives with the help of various ICT devices and ultimately generate georeferenced data that could obtain important information about people’s use of space, spatial movement and social connections. The main aim of the study is to explore the urban geographical and spatial impacts of ICT and social media networks in Hungarian cities. We focus on drawing territorial and settlement hierarchical patterns and clusters based on the mobile communication and online social network relationship data of Hungarian cities. The paper highlights the relationship between the intensity of mobile communication and the density and expansion of intercity social relations and the settlements’ level of economic development, respectively. The methodology is based on mobile phone call detail record (CDR) analysis and intercity network analysis of social media activities. Our findings suggest that different communication networks follow divergent spatial patterns in Hungary. The traditional East–West dichotomy of the Hungarian spatial divide is still reflected in mobile communication, but intercity clusters based on social media activities are usually aligned to the borders of administrative structures. In several cases, we were able to identify strong intercity links between settlements with a similar level of economic development of the mesolevel spatial structure that traverses over different counties and regional borders. Results on social and demographic issues suggest that ‘generation Z’ could play a key role in dampening the social and economic tensions created by the digital divide in the long run. Using a multidimensional explanatory model, we could demonstrate the growing interconnectedness between digital networks and economic development.

“…Peningkatan penggunaan internet juga berpotensi untuk memperburuk kesenjangan spasial yang ada di negara transisi dan berkembang (Norris, 2001). Konsekuensi dari munculnya TIK adalah kesenjangan digital geo-spasial (Rallet, A., & Rochelandet, 2007).…”

The spatial disparity has become one of the biggest challenges in developing countries. However, relatively few studies have examined the mechanism of spatial inequality that explains digital inequality. Amid many closed retail businesses and sluggish public purchasing power issues, e-commerce businesses can survive. Therefore, there is a need for research on the socioeconomic characteristics which form the individual's decision to adopt of internet, ecommerce, and e-banking from the household side as one of the economic actors. In this study, descriptive analysis and logistic regression methods were used with the primary data from the National Socio-Economic Survey (SUSENAS) in 2017. Besides that, Potensi Desa (PODES) and HDI data, Gini Index and percentage of poverty are also used in this study. The results of this study using logistic regression show that individuals who have greater opportunities to become the internet, e-commerce, and e-banking users have the characteristics of young age, college graduates, owning a cellphone, using a computer, working, per capita expenditure, and living in urban areas and having adequate infrastructure telecommunications.
