  • Abstract
    Digital divide plays an important role in last years¿ discourse in theory and practice as well. Starting in the 90¿s by focusing on infrastructures divides between the ¿have¿ and ¿have-not¿ and continuing in the following years to other dimensions of the divide such as skills, usage, governmental and communal support and more. This mini-track tries to step out of the traditional look at the digital divide, from an infrastructure point of view, and enable a platform to discuss other perspectives of it ¿ Socio-demographic factors, social and governmental support, conceptualization of the concept digital divide, usage patterns and more.
