Kenichiro Onitsuka, A R T Hidayat, Wanhui Huang · 2018 · The Electronic Journal of Information Systems in Developing Countries

Summary. This study examines digital divide challenges in a rural Indonesian village by moving beyond simple access gaps to analyze four stages of internet adoption: motivation, material access, skills, and usage. Researchers found age-based disparities among digital natives and identified how internet use positively affects community participation. The analysis reveals distinct barriers at each adoption stage, leading to targeted policy recommendations for improving rural development through ICT in Indonesia and other developing countries.
