Abstract

In this study, the relationship between democracy and informatics, and the da-ta defining this relation most suitably were examined. The international indi-ces that are considered to be directly related to democracy were used as the data set. A correlation analysis from the statistical methods was conducted in this study. According to this analysis, a correlation matrix was obtained that represents the relationship between the international indices directly affecting the democracy and the indices of information and communication technolo-gies. As a result of the analyses, it was determined that there is a significant re-lationship between indices applied in the international scale such as human development, legal system, e-government services, fundamental rights and freedoms indices and the information technology index. In this study, it has been revealed that the information and communication technologies of today's digital age have a great importance for the quality of life, equality of oppor-tunity in education and democratic participation, for a fair society order, in briefly, to create a symmetrical fair society order by removing all the social asymmetric inequalities.
