The Information Communication Technology (ICT) Gap and the Generation Gap in Local Government Towards “SMART ASN”

Abstract

The role of ICT is very important, especially in the era of data explosion or big data, but the government, especially local governments, finds it difficult to take advantage of it due to the uneven development of ICT. This is very helpful for the government in providing services to the community. Based on this, the researchers are interested in examining how the local government applies the mandate of Government Regulation No. 11/2017 towards “SMART ASN” in the field of ICT and HR? What have local governments done to implement it? The purpose of this study is to determine the implementation of the mandate of Government Regulation No. 11/2017 towards “SMART ASN” in the field of ICT and HR carried out by the local government and know what the local government has been done. This research uses the descriptive qualitative method. To get all the information related to the research problem, the researcher used document study techniques to collect data. Data analysis is done by collecting, compiling, and interpreting the data and then making conclusions.
