- Abstract
The use of the internet and internet-based services is rapidly spreading not only in urban centers where infrastructure facilities are more abundant, but also in rural areas. With the influence of the infrastructure services offered by the mobile internet, approximately 94% of households and 85% of individuals in Türkiye use the internet today. New users of the Internet and other related services are more disadvantaged than previous and experienced users. The potential lack of experience exposes users to risks of fraud, misinformation, and privacy breaches. It can be said that this risk increases from urban centers to rural areas. Within this framework, the current study investigated the digital literacy levels and online privacy behaviors of information and communication technology users living in rural areas. As a result of the field research conducted by face-to-face survey method in 2021 with 374 participants living in the neighborhoods of Kayseri, which had the status of village or town before the legislative changes, it was concluded that the digital literacy levels of the participants were low and this level varied according to age, education level and frequency of use. In addition, it was observed that the participants were sensitive and careful about privacy and had high concerns about their own privacy.
