Desa Motu is an area that experiences limited internet access due to the unavailability of conventional ISP services and weak cellular signal coverage. This study aims to develop a community-based RT/RW Net network system to provide internet access by utilizing Starlink as the main ISP and distributing connectivity through networking devices such as MikroTik routers, access points, switches, and fiber optic media. Network testing was conducted by measuring download and upload speeds using network testing ap-plications, evaluating connection stability through latency (ping) measurements, and assessing signal coverage at several user locations. The results show that the implemented RT/RW Net network is able to provide a stable internet connection with consistent speeds at different testing times, as well as optimal signal distribution across multiple measurement points. The authentication system using vouchers, PPPoE, hotspot login, and MAC Binding functions properly, and the free educational access feature also operates effectively. These findings indicate that the RT/RW Net–based community network model can serve as an affordable and sustainable solution for expanding internet access in rural areas.

The internship program of Universitas Mayjen Sungkono in Begaganlimo Village introduced a training initiative focused on the Development of an Adaptive Learning Platform Based on D-PACK as an effort to enhance the quality of digital learning in Begaganlimo elementary schools. This training was designed to assist teachers in strengthening their ability to design and utilize interactive learning media supported by artificial intelligence (AI). Through this socialization activity, teachers were not only introduced to the use of adaptive technology but also guided to apply it in teaching practices so that the learning process becomes more effective, easier to understand, and more engaging for students. In addition, the socialization activities provided a deeper understanding of how technology can be used and integrated into teaching. Teachers not only learned to operate AI-based applications or devices, but they also gained insight into the pedagogical principles within the DPACK framework, which ensures that technology is applied appropriately. As a result, learning is expected to become easier to understand, more engaging, and capable of increasing students’ participation and motivation in the classroom.

Digital marketing has become a vital tool for business growth today, especially for housewives running small businesses. However, challenges such as a lack of technical knowledge and limited access to digital devices often hinder them from competing in the modern marketplace. In response to this phenomenon, the Community Service (PKM) initiative in Tamallayang Village, Bontonompo, was specifically designed to strengthen the capacity of housewives through education on the use of marketing technology to advance their businesses. This program employs a participatory training model that emphasizes two-way discussions and real-life case studies, allowing participants to understand and directly apply material such as digital marketing fundamentals, WhatsApp optimization, and content creation techniques. The success of this program is reflected in the substantial increase in competency and growing optimism of the participants in managing their businesses in the digital realm. The mothers now not only master the theory but are also able to execute the strategies they have learned to expand product exposure and boost sales figures. The benefits of this activity also have broad implications for strengthening the family economic structure and overall social welfare in the region. Going forward, the successful implementation of digital marketing strategies in Tamallayang Village is expected to become a prototype for empowering MSMEs in other areas, while also emphasizing that technological adaptation is a mandatory step in strengthening business competitiveness in the current era.

Digital transformation in the public sector has significantly driven service innovations, particularly in pension administration for Civil Servants (ASN). This study aims to analyze the development of digital-based public service innovations in pension administration while identifying the benefits and challenges associated with their implementation. The research employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method by examining relevant scholarly articles from national journals focusing on the digitalization of public services and pension systems. The literature selection process was conducted systematically to identify, evaluate, and synthesize key findings related to digital pension service innovations. The results indicate that digitalization through applications and electronic platforms enhances administrative efficiency, accelerates data verification, and improves the speed of pension fund disbursement. It also strengthens transparency and accountability while simplifying bureaucratic procedures and expanding service accessibility for retirees. However, several challenges remain, including low digital literacy among retirees, limited access to technological devices, and insufficient public awareness regarding digital service usage. The findings suggest that the success of digital-based public service innovations depends not only on technological availability but also on human resource readiness, institutional capacity, and the level of public acceptance. Therefore, a comprehensive strategy is required, including improving digital literacy, strengthening information technology infrastructure, and optimizing communication efforts to ensure effective adoption.

This study aims to describe the implementation of smart government through the Sumbergedang Baru Program in Sumbergedang Village, Pandaan District, Pasuruan Regency. The program is a digital village initiative that utilizes information technology to improve the quality of public services, transparency of governance, and the social and economic empowerment of rural communities. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with purposively selected informants, including the village head, village officials, community groups (Pokmas GPS and G4S), and residents as service recipients. The findings show that digital literacy among the community and village officials has begun to develop, as indicated by their ability to use basic devices and applications; however, the utilization of village digital services remains limited and uneven across age groups. In terms of ICT accessibility, the village has established an internet network and public Wi-Fi hotspots, yet network coverage and stability have not fully reached all hamlets. Regarding regulations, the village government has established basic policies through decrees forming community groups and regulating the digital village program, although these have not been comprehensively integrated. In terms of human resource quality, village officials and young cadres are relatively adaptive to technology, but a capacity gap remains among older age groups. Overall, the implementation of smart government through the Sumbergedang Baru Program is still at the stage of building a digital village foundation, requiring further improvements in digital literacy, human resources, infrastructure expansion, and technology-based transparency.

Despite its cultural potential, Wetabar Village has not been supported by effective digital promotional media. Information access remains limited, and the lack of interactive promotional platforms has contributed to the low interest of tourists. Current promotional efforts rely heavily on conventional methods, resulting in decreased visitor numbers. The implementation of digital technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR) and Web-based 360° Virtual Reality Tours is considered an effective approach to increasing tourist engagement by offering immersive exploration experiences and interactive cultural content. This research aims to design and implement a web-based tourism promotion media that integrates local cultural content with AR and 360° virtual tour technologies. The development process follows the MDLC research method, utilizing the Lumi H5P platform and PHP for system implementation. The resulting system enables users to digitally explore Wetabar Village through panoramic views and interactive multimedia features. The findings show that the developed application runs smoothly on both Android devices and laptops and is capable of providing hotspot access to operate the virtual reality features. This innovation is expected to enhance tourist interest while supporting cultural preservation and promoting digital transformation within the tourism sector of West Sumba.
