|
The paper presents the selected aspects of the analysis of state and development of information and communication technologies (ICT) in rural regions of the Czech Republic. The aim of the solution is to capture current trends in the use of ICT in general (ICT adoption) with an emphasis on selected areas (broadband, social networks, e-Government, used categories of technical resources, used software, mobile communications, etc.). The research is focused on business entities in the agrarian sector. The goal of the research is to provide current and wide view of these problems, that are not satisfactorily and systematically solved in the Czech Republic, which should lead to several contributions as described in the paper. It has mapped a number of important factors of digital divide in the Czech Republic and consequently determined the possible solutions. Research is prepared and implemented by Department of Information Technologies at the Faculty of Economics and Management of the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague.
