Purpose The use of electronic money (eMoney) as a noncash payment method is gaining popularity globally. However, the usages of eMoney are culturally influenced and can vary within a country. These cultural disparities can result in divergent patterns of eMoney adoption and use. This study aims to investigate the factors influencing the adoption and use of eMoney in Indonesia. This study integrated the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology model with Hofstede’s cultural dimensions to develop a framework examining both technological and cultural perspectives. Design/methodology/approach Data was collected through an online survey of 484 Indonesians and analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling. Findings The results showed that the constructs of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology model, namely, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence and facilitating conditions, all had a significant impact on behavioral intention to adopt eMoney as well as actual usage. However, not all of Hofstede’s cultural dimensions moderated these relationships as hypothesized. Surprisingly, masculinity/femininity and power distance emerged as important moderators of eMoney usage. Practical implications This integrated model provides valuable insights into how to consider cultural influences when designing strategies to promote new payment technologies in Indonesia. The findings point to both technological and cultural factors shaping patterns of adoption and use of eMoney in the country. Originality/value Although many research has looked at how culture affects the acceptability of technology in banking, few studies have looked at how culture affects the use of mobile money. This study offers a valuable contribution by investigating how Indonesian culture moderates the relationship between behavioral intentions and actual use of eMoney. The findings provide guidance for practitioners seeking to facilitate eMoney services in developing markets by elucidating the cultural factors that most influence customer adoption. As such, this research fills an important gap regarding the understudied domain of mobile money and its intersection with national culture.

Numerical Study of Wind Flow Behavior Around High-Rise Buildings Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)

The development of civil construction technology in Indonesia is progressing along with the rise in high-rise building construction. The emergence of high-rise buildings has altered wind flow characteristics, leading to phenomena that can directly impact surrounding structures. One of the observable phenomena is the wind speed amplification caused by the narrowing of the wind flow section, known as the Venturi effect. This study aims to compare the outcomes of two Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methods—Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) and Large Eddy Simulation (LES)—against experimental results. The study employs a model of four buildings of similar height and symmetrical positioning, with a 72 mm passage width, to verify numerical simulations against experimental data. The RANS method yields a maximum wind speed amplification of 14.9% along the passage's centerline, which remains below the experimental prediction of 25.5% in Zone A. Conversely, the LES results show a higher wind speed amplification, reaching 40.2%, surpassing the experimental findings. Nevertheless, LES identifies a similar location for wind speed amplification observed in Zone A. Additionally, CFD simulations were conducted to analyze the effects of passage width, revealing that a passage width of 54 mm produces the highest wind speed amplification, with a ratio value of passage width to building influence scale (L/S) of 0.481. Further research on building model scale may be necessary to verify CFD accuracy compared to the actual scale. However, such simulations demand exceedingly high computational resources with current technology.
