The study addresses key gaps in the literature related to the digital divide and applies the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovations theory. Using data from 2022 and 2023, This study employs k-means and hierarchical clustering to analyze application attributes processed through Irembo, including types, states, and prices. The findings reveal that, despite advancements in digital service delivery, disparities in access and digital literacy persist, particularly in rural areas. The study concludes with recommendations for enhancing digital literacy initiatives and improving e-government platform usability, which is essential for promoting inclusive access to public services and supporting Rwanda’s socio-economic development goals.展开更多

Strictly speaking, the issue of digital divide in the disabled group is part of the negative effect which is brought in by information technology. Meanwhile, it is a branch of digital divide issue. But the concern and solution for the digital divide issue embody a government's attitude and deed towards the new problem in the informational epoch, meanwhile they show esteem to the human rights and social equity in the new era.This article first describes and discusses the digital divide issue of the disabled group in China. Then, it focuses on the solutions or actions that Chinese local governments take towards the issue. Finally, it introduces Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act as a reference to China from the legislative perspective.展开更多
