新的信息技术(ICTs)社会扩散的不均等性成为地区信息化发展的障碍之一,这种不均等不仅体现在城乡之间,广大农村地区的差异亦非常显著。作者从农村信息基础设施发展、农村网民发展、涉农网站建设等角度出发,通过宏观与中观区域视角剖析了农村信息化的时空演变特征。研究发现,固定电话、电视机与移动电话普及率的东、中、西差异不明显,而家用电脑普及率的区域差异最大,说明家用电脑拥有率是造成农村信息化区域差异的主要因素。农村网民主要集中在东部地区,且增长速度高于中西部地区,农村网民的东西差异会继续增大。从中观省域层面上,农村信息基础设施拥有情况与居民纯收入呈明显正相关,并且家用电脑拥有水平与收入相关性最高。
Rural information communication technologies (ICTs) development has been the focus of study in our present, especially the internet which as a representative of rural informationalization aroused people's attention. It brings the rural economic development and social progress of service. However the social inequality of ICTs' diffusion became one of the obstacles of regional inforrnationalization. The inequality is embodied not only between urban and rural areas, but also in the interior of rural areas. This paper analyzes the developing process of rural informationalization, sums up the regional difference of rural informationalization in China. It based on the informational infrastructure, rural net citizen, agriculture website, and using macro and medium perspective analyses the regional difference of rural informationalization. The researches show that the regional inequality in telephone, television and mobile phone penetration rate is not obvious, and the regional differences in home computer penetration are obvious. Rural net citizens are mainly concentrated in the eastern region, and growing faster than the middle and west, rural net citizens' regional differences will continue to increase. From the provincial level, rural information infrastructure and income is obviously positive correlation, and home computers have the highest correlation with income level.
