Authors: Riswandi Riki , Permadi Indra
Published: September 2022

The digital economy requires all countries to participate in preparing for digital transformation. As a country in Southeast Asia, Indonesia must prepare for the era of global competition. In 2020, the Indonesian government launched a digital transformation program with the vision of the ”Largest Digital Economy.” The digitalization of micro and small businesses in Indonesia is experiencing a slowdown due to the difficulty in adopting technology by MSME actors, and partly because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The focus of this research emphasizes the impact of the readiness of micro, small, and medium enterprises as individual decision-makers on the adoption of marketing technology. The Readiness Acceptance Model (TRAM) technology developed by Lin et al. (2007) utilized in this study explains that the impact of individual characteristics and experiences on their use and usefulness dominates the marketing technology decision-making process. The population of this study includes the micro, small, and medium enterprises in the Sukabumi area with 220 respondents as business actors. The method used is path analysis. The results show that the effect of technological readiness of MSME actors in Sukabumi on the acceptance of e-commerce carriers and technological know-how are influenced by the mindset of optimism, innovation, and discomfort, which have a big impact on the perception of ease of use (PEU) and the perception of usefulness (PU). The PEU has a massive impact on perceived advantages (PU) and the PU and PEU both have a significant positive impact on the intention to use.

Authors: Suaebah Ebah , Suciati Fithri
Published: September 2022

Financial literacy is the knowledge and ability of financial management that allows individuals to manage their finances more effectively. For managing finances, farmers in Indonesia still rely on informal financial institutions. There are several reasons for this – the farmers’ location being substantially far from the locations of financial institutions, their age and varied educational levels, and the level of confidence in achieving success in agriculture. This study, thus, identifies and analyzes the demographic factors and self-efficacy in financial literacy in upland horticultural crop farmers. The study population was upland horticultural plant farmers, the sampling technique was probability sampling, and the analysis was done using the two-way ANOVA technique. The results show a significant difference in the financial literacy between women and men. Although no difference was seen in the farmers’ financial literacy based on their age, a significant difference was noted based on their education. Additionally, a substantial difference was seen in the understanding based on self-efficacy.

Kampoeng Cyber Jogja: Representation, Resistance, and Spatial Politics
Authors: Salam Aprinus , Zuliana Rina
Published: September 2022

The digital divide not only marks the complexity of the literary medium’s transition to the digital world but also involves wider structural issues, from critical, social, economic, and cultural practices aspects in the society. This study presents a bigger picture through a critical analysis of the space representation of Kampoeng Cyber Jogja (KCJ). The study uses the qualitative method with Henri Levebfre’s Spatial Triad theory. To find and define the relation of space with practice and society’s post-modern culture, the authors use Bourdieu and Baudrillard’s concepts on practice, distinction, and consumerism. KCJ is a complex space as well as a representation of society’s culture which must turn into a multidimensional direction. KCJ has become a production, negotiation, and resistance space. In economic practice, KCJ is a production space, uniting several aspects from the cultural products (i.e., batik), cyberspace technology usage, as well as market reading. On the other hand, it shows the space paradoxicality, capitalization, and industrial logic used by KCJ. In social practice, KCJ marks the resistance toward poverty and inequality discourse brought up by the digital divide. Culturally speaking, KCJ has become the representation and negotiation space between two cultures, traditional and modern, in resolving the digital divide which has thrived in the multidimensional society.

Implementation of Chef's Gastronomy Knowledge of Bugis Pastries at Hotels in Makassar City
Authors: Akbar Zaenal Faisal
Published: September 2022

The food we eat has a backstory, which is known as insight. The consumption process necessitates a related mindset. Philosophical values in food can be presented as one of the branches of history. The wisdom of food is founded on the role of food as derived from life’s intellectual values. In the gastro-historic framework, Bugis Makassar has an influence on the environment and vice versa. This perspective can reveal the spicy tendencies in South Sulawesi cuisine. There is little understanding of the meaning of the different types of pastries. However, the peculiarity of Bugis Makassar pastries lies in their embedded symbolic meaning. Traditional Bugis Makassar pastries generally taste sweet and savory due to the use of coconut milk and brown sugar (gula merah). In addition, the processing technique used is still simple. However, in the context of branding traditional pastries to be served in hotels, the local chef innovates in the form and presentation of traditional Bugis Makassar pastries without sacrificing their unique flavor.
