As 21st century society has evolved into a technology-centric society, the impact of innovative technologies on society continues to increase. The importance of innovative technologies to society is evidenced by the existence of various analytical methods, study results and actors. When we analyze the impact of technology on society, we often predict its future impact based on how technology has affected past and present trends in society. Analysis on the impact of technology on current trends in society is usually conducted by experts, but users, developers, or citizens might also participate. This study proposes an analytical framework termed ‘Socio-Technology Analysis and Prescriptions’ (STAP) that can be used to analyze the impact of innovative technologies on society and prescribes solutions to any associated problems in order to contribute to a sustainable society.

When analyzing the impacts of technology on society, analysts can investigate the effects of technology on society based on a framework developed according to a specific theory. STAP is based on the comprehensive conceptual framework model from three Science and Technology Studies (STS), these are Technological Determinism (TD), Social Construction of Theory (SCOT), and Actor–Network Theory (ANT). This study adopted not only the perspectives of these three theories that describe the relationship between technology and society, but also takes a critical view of these theories in the process of creating the conceptual model of STAP. In order to verify a draft of STAP, this study extracted and applied keywords to find previous studies which relate to the impact of mobile technology on society using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology as part of the framework. A prominent feature of the SLR process is its use of natural language processing technology, which is an application of AI technology.

In a test case, we successfully analyzed the impact of mobile technology on society through STAP showing it is possible to systematically analyze the impact of technology on society through our framework. The framework allowed us to identify the underlying causes of major problems and then present solutions.

可持续社会的社会技术分析和处方框架:关注移动技术案例

随着21世纪社会发展成为以技术为中心的社会,创新技术对社会的影响不断增加。各种分析方法,研究结果和参与者的存在证明了创新技术对社会的重要性。当我们分析技术对社会的影响时,我们经常根据技术如何影响社会过去和现在的趋势来预测技术的未来影响。通常由专家对技术对社会当前趋势的影响进行分析,但是用户,开发人员或公民也可以参与。

在分析技术对社会的影响时,分析人员可以根据根据特定理论开发的框架来调查技术对社会的影响。STAP基于来自三个科学与技术研究(STS)的综合概念框架模型,分别是技术决定论(TD),理论社会建构(SCOT)和行为者网络理论(ANT)。这项研究不仅采用了描述技术与社会之间关系的这三种理论的观点,而且在建立STAP概念模型的过程中对这些理论进行了批判性的研究。为了验证STAP的草案,这项研究使用系统文献综述(SLR)方法作为框架的一部分,提取并应用了关键字以查找与移动技术对社会的影响有关的先前研究。SLR流程的一个突出特点是它使用了自然语言处理技术,这是AI技术的一种应用。

在一个测试案例中,我们通过STAP成功地分析了移动技术对社会的影响,表明可以通过我们的框架系统地分析技术对社会的影响。该框架使我们能够确定主要问题的根本原因,然后提出解决方案。
