Bugün dünyamızın her boyutta şekillenmesini büyük ölçüde etkileyen ve belirleyen unsurlardan birisi, küreselleşme ile birlikte bilgi toplumu ve bilgi ekonomisi süreçlerinde yaşanan gelişmelerdir. Sanayi toplumundaki maddi ürünlerin yerini bilgi üretimi almış olup, yeni teknolojilerin ve yeniliklerin yoğun olarak kullanıldığı, üretildiği ve süratle yayıldığı, bilginin kontrolü ve sahipliği için ulusal ve uluslararası örgütlerin kurumsallaştığı, bilgili ve nitelikli insanın merkez konumda olduğu bir dönemi yaşamaktayız. Ancak bilişim teknolojilerinin sağladığı olanaklardan yararlanamayanlar gelişmelerin gerisinde kalmakta ve sağlanan olanaklardan yararlanamamaktadır. Dijital bölünme olarak ifade edilen bu açıklık, ülke içinde ya da ülkeler arasında ortaya çıkabilmektedir ve sosyo-ekonomik, politik pek çok nedenden kaynaklanmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı; Dijital bölünme kavramını açıklayarak dijital bölünmenin türleri ve nedenleriyle ortaya koymaktır. Dijital bölünmenin türleri ve nedenleri buna yönelik politikaların şekillenmesi ve bu bölünmeyi ortadan kaldıracak stratejilerin izlenmesi açısından önem arz etmektedir

DIGITAL DIVIDE: TYPES AND CAUSES

Öz

One of the most significant factors that influence and determine the shaping of our world in all aspects today is the globalization-related progress experienced in the processes of information society and information economy. Information production has now replaced the material products in an industrious society and we currently live in a period where new technologies and innovations are intensely used, produced and spread fast, where national and international entities have become institutionalized for the control and possession of information and where the knowledgeable and qualified human being has taken the central position. However; individuals who cannot benefit from the opportunities provided by information technologies fall behind the advancements, being deprived of them. This gap called digital divide, arises from various socio-economic and political reasons and can appear at intrastate or interstate level. The purpose of this research is to explain the digital divide concept by presenting its types and causes. Types and causes of digital divide are significant for shaping relevant policies and following strategies to eliminate digital divide
