Abstract:
Existing studies of the digital divide reveals the gap that exists between those who have access to ICTs and those who do not create exclusion, endanger social integration and hamper economic growth. The digital divide has many dimensions and can be categorized as global, regional and national. At national level, there is no single divide, but multiple divides: for instance, within countries, between men and women, young and elderly, rich and poor and most importantly rural and urban. The present paper is mainly focused on India and tries to explore the problem of digital divide mainly in rura

Abstract:
While Indonesia is recorded as one of the greatest social media republics in the world, the gap of rural-urban internet access remains a great challenge. As reported in the 2016 Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Indicators, the number of households with internet access in rural areas is nearly half of those in urban areas; 26.3% and 48.5% in a consecutive way. Rather than simply seeing the internet as a medium, this paper discusses the internet as material culture; therefore, it goes beyond the access and focuses on the ways people use the internet to define their culture.

Abstract:
The urban-rural digital divide is a new manifestation of regional inequality in the digital age, which has gradually received more and more attention in China in recent years. At present, China’s policies on bridging the urban-rural digital divide fall into a binary structure of some well-developed areas only needing theoretical supplements and others not sufficiently addressed. Therefore, this study introduces the Mixed-Scanning model proposed by an American scholar called A.E.Etzioni, using incrementalism theory and rationalism theory respectively to discuss policies in relevant fields.

Abstract:
Digital finance can reduce the urban–rural income gap, but the digital divide may limit this effect. This study develops a theoretical framework to explore the interactions between digital finance, the digital usage gap, and income disparity. Using data from 274 Chinese cities, the research applies a two-way fixed-effects and threshold effect model. The results indicate that disparities in digital usage not only diminish but may also distort the convergence benefits of digital finance, producing a U-shaped relationship that exhibits variability across dimensions and regions.

Abstract The challenges of reaching rural areas with the latest digital technologies are well documented, resulting in a longstanding urban–rural digital divide in many countries.

In this paper, we take stock of recent progress towards this goal by applying the framework of the “Sparsely Populated Area”.

Despite years of unprecedented economic development, China is still characterised by a deep urban-rural economic disparity.

The urban-rural gap also exists in the E-commerce sector, as the biggest portion of sales and revenues is concentrated in cities.

Such a phenomenon suggests the emergence and endurance of socio-technological peripheries, places where socio-spatial inequalities are reinforced by unjust access to the internet.
