Abstract
- A digital, inclusive, and citizen-oriented society with opportunities for all must offer the skills to face the challenges of the digital transition. This change requires specific territorial-based policies that emphasize the diversity and geographic specificity of their contexts and populations. It is in this sense that the PerSoParAge project intended to contribute by presenting proposals, with a view to defining territorial policies for the inclusion and digital literacy of ageing territories in the interior of the country. The analysis of the territory of the interior of Portugal was carried out based on quantitative and qualitative methods, through a questionnaire survey on the use of ICT applied to the population over 55 years of age in the districts of Castelo Branco, Guarda and Portalegre. The sample comprised 408 individuals and the data were subjected to descriptive statistical analysis and content analysis. The results indicate that older populations, with a low level of education and residing in rural areas, have difficulties in accessing digital networks, reduced use of technological devices and the internet, as well as significant levels of exclusion and digital illiteracy. There is an urgent need to invest digitally in the interior of the country, developing them, and in the most aged people, training them and including them digitally. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
