Study of E-Readiness: Integration of SDGS Indicators in Village Development Planning in Malo District, Bojonegoro Regency

Abstract

The government has implemented various digital-based data applications for village development. Unfortunately, the use of this technology by village officials is still a challenge. Using the Strategy, Technology, Organization, People and Environment (STOPE) framework, this research is measuring the E-readiness of the village apparatus in using the Village SDGs data for development planning as well as to explore how the village apparatus is ready to synergize various digital-based applications in village development planning. The concept of E-readiness is the ability of the government and its citizens to take advantage of the potential of information and communication technology in governance process. This research uses the descriptive method. The research was conducted in seven villages in the Malo district, Bojonegoro regency. The results showed that the readiness of village government officials to manage data is promising. Some of the village government Readiness subdomains in the STOPE framework have achieved good results (ready and very ready). However, some sub-domains have not yet reached the ready category in integrating SDGs data in development planning and programs.
