This study evaluates the retrofit design of the Semat weir on the Kali Gawe in Jepara Regency. The retrofit aims to adjust the weir’s hydraulic capacity to accommodate estimated flood discharges while ensuring the structure’s stability under applied loads. In the agricultural context, adequate water availability for irrigation directly affects crop yields; conversely, the rainy season often increases river flow and flood risk. Irrigation structures such as weirs are therefore required to raise river water levels to divert flow into irrigation channels and to regulate water distribution. Flood discharge estimates were derived from precipitation data and watershed (drainage basin) characteristics. Flood hydrograph planning is a critical design step for the weir. Log-Pearson Type III analysis was used to determine probable precipitation values for several recurrence intervals. Those design precipitation values were then converted into design flood discharges using synthetic unit hydrograph methods, specifically the Snyder, Nakayasu, and Gamma HSS approaches. Employing the Gamma synthetic unit hydrograph for the 50-year return period (Q50) produced a design flood discharge of 2,536.52 m³/s for that recurrence interval. Structural stability analyses of the redesigned weir indicate safety factors well above customary thresholds: overturning resistance factor = 11.6 (required ≥ 1.5), sliding resistance factor = 4.80 (required ≥ 2.0), and piping (internal erosion) factor = infinite (required ≥ 4). All evaluated stability parameters therefore satisfy standard safety criteria.

In recent years, the Indonesian government has actively promoted digital transformation in public service delivery, including in rural and remote areas. However, digital adoption among communities in these regions remains inconsistent and often hindered by infrastructural and socio-cultural constraints. This study aims to assess the digital readiness of rural communities in adopting mobile-based public service information systems, with a specific focus on understanding the social and technological dynamics that shape their engagement. Employing a mixed methods approach with an explanatory sequential design, the research began with a structured survey involving 150-200 respondents per location, followed by in-depth interviews with key informants such as village officials, service operators, and local users. The quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS to identify general patterns in digital readiness based on the Technology Readiness Index and the Digital Readiness Framework, while qualitative insights were thematically analyzed using NVivo to uncover contextual factors. The findings reveal that while some respondents exhibit a moderate level of digital optimism, barriers such as unstable internet access, limited digital literacy, and fear of misusing technology significantly affect adoption rates. Furthermore, social support from family members emerged as a critical facilitator in overcoming these challenges. This study contributes to the discourse on inclusive digital transformation by highlighting the importance of integrating community-based support mechanisms into system design and policy planning. The implications suggest that successful digitalization efforts in rural areas must go beyond infrastructure development and address the social readiness of users through culturally sensitive and participatory approaches.
