노인 치안 안전을 위한 디지털 소외 해소 방안 연구

Abstract

The security and safety of the elderly are closely related to the safety of society as a whole. As the elderly population increases, digital development is emerging as a social problem along with safety issues such as crime, abuse, and disappearance of the elderly. Digital technology, which has developed rapidly around the world, has created a digital environment that enables consumption, work, life, medical care, and education anywhere, transcending space and time. The 2000s was a time when Korea entered an aging society, and the increase in the elderly population due to aging increased the problem of digital inequality and digital alienation due to new social inequality called digital gap.
 The increase in the elderly population is facing daily life such as social isolation and alienation, social discomfort, depression, and dementia due to weak information power of the elderly, such as elderly safety, elderly poverty, elderly suicide, elderly crime, and digital financial accidents. Digital alienation is directly related to the safety of the elderly population and is likely to be easily exposed to new threats such as security, voice phishing, anxiety caused by fake news, Internet commerce, financial fraud, and cybercrime due to the increase in smishing.
 Therefore, economic, social, and emotional support for the elderly is needed for the security and safety of the elderly. In the future, efforts to improve awareness of the problem of digital alienation of the elderly in Korea should be made by forming a full social consensus among members of society based on the use of the elderly population and support from the government and the private sector.
