Abstract
This paper describes the relationship between the Internet and the information with a rural community. I make clear that there are four major fields of information with a rural community. These fields are; (1) Information about the history of the rural community; (2) Information about traditional recreation and enterainment; (3) Information about traditional events; (4) Information about the role of the community during a time of war. This kind of information is very beneficial to the Internet education for students and to the development of the community. However, many teachers have difficulties using personal computers and the utilization of the information is not effective yet. I analyze these problems using the method of principal component analysis and cluster analysis which are quantitative techniques used in the analysis of multivariate data. Consequentry, I classified teachers into three groups (clusters A, B, and C) based on the level of knowledge of personal computers. The information of the rural community is closely related to its education system which is supported by the Internet.
