Bridging Indonesia’s Digital Divide: Rural-Urban Linkages?

Aulia Fitrul Hadi · 2018 · Jurnal Ilmu Sosial dan Ilmu Politik

Summary. Indonesia's rural-urban internet access gap persists despite high social media use nationwide. Rural households have half the internet access of urban households. This paper examines the digital divide beyond mere access, analyzing how people actually use the internet and their digital skills. The authors identify social inequality, lack of motivation, and limited digital skills as root causes. They reject simple rural-urban categorization and propose rural-urban linkages—integrating people, information flows, and cross-sector connections like agriculture and services—to bridge the divide.
