网络时代：信息资源分配与信息福利

Network Era： Information Resource Distribution and Information Welfare

网络时代，作为人类社会发展基础资源的信息资源，借助于互联网的全球化通信功能，实现了全球性信息资源的网络化、全球化再配置。在信息资源的全球网络化配置过程中，由于存在区域信息基础设施建设、信息主体信息素质和设备拥有及信息需求与意识的差别，形成了信息资源网络化配置环境下的区域及人群的“信息贫困”与“信息富裕”的两极分化。两极分化现象是市场化资源配置效率为先和利益最大化原则的市场机制作用下形成的必然结果，依靠市场本身是无法解决的。因此，政府应在信息资源市场化配置的基础上，实施保障信息资源公平分配的信息福利，以实现整个社会的信息福利和个体信息福利水平的全面提高。

As the basic resource of the development of human society in the Internet era, a global networking and globalized redistribution of information resource has been achieved by virtue of the global communication function. Since it has differences in the regional information infrastructure construction, information subject, equipment possession, quality and requirement and consciousness of information,a growing disparity between information poverty and information opulence has formed in different region and population under networking circumstances of information resources distribution. The polarization is inevitable by the efficiency priority of market--oriented resource allocation and the principle of benefit maximization. The problems are insurmountable by relying on the market itself. Therefore, the government shall implement information welfare for guaranteeing fair distribution of information resource on the basis of marketization of the information resource distribution. The social and individual information welfare will be benefited from it.
