<![CDATA[Digital transformation in government administration has become an important strategy for strengthening governance quality, including at the nagari government level. This community service activity aimed to optimize governance in Nagari III Koto Aur Malintang Selatan through the implementation of SMART Nagari 4.0 as a digital transformation approach to support the realization of good governance. The activity employed a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach that actively involved partners through several stages, including problem identification, needs analysis, program planning, implementation, assistance, and evaluation. The activity was conducted through the Thematic Community Service Program (KKN Tematik) of Universitas Mohammad Natsir Bukittinggi in 2026, located in Nagari III Koto Aur Malintang Selatan, IV Koto Aur Malintang District, Padang Pariaman Regency, involving 12 students from the Public Administration Study Program as implementers and the nagari government as the main partner. The results showed that the implementation of SMART Nagari 4.0 produced several outputs, including the development of a digital business certificate administration system, a nagari information system dashboard, and a digital public service system. These systems serve as supporting instruments for administrative management, government information management, and technology-based public services. In addition to developing digital products, the activity also included socialization and assistance for nagari officials to improve their understanding of the functions and utilization of the developed systems. The implementation of SMART Nagari 4.0 represents an initial step in supporting the digital transformation of nagari governance through strengthening information systems, data management, and institutional capacity based on partner needs.]]>
