Abstract

This research aims to analyze the influence of Islamic social and cultural values on technology adoption within Muslim communities, focusing on the challenges and opportunities arising from the misalignment between technological advancements and local cultural values. Technology adoption in Muslim societies is often influenced not only by infrastructure readiness but also by societal perceptions of technology that may conflict with long-standing religious doctrines and cultural traditions. This study identifies three main factors affecting technology acceptance: infrastructure readiness, social disparities, and the cultural characteristics of Islam. The research demonstrates that successful technology adoption requires social engineering that enables integration with the existing moral and social values in Muslim communities. Using a qualitative approach, the study explores how Muslims adapt technology without compromising their religious and cultural principles. Findings indicate that effective technology adoption necessitates policies accommodating local social and cultural values and the involvement of religious leaders in introducing appropriate technology. This research significantly contributes to enriching the study of technology adoption by considering cultural and religious dimensions and opens opportunities for further research in this field. The study’s limitation lies in its geographically limited scope, suggesting the need for broader, more in-depth research involving Muslim communities in various regions.

Abstract

Balai Pembibitan Ternak Unggul Hijauan Pakan Ternak (BPTU HPT) in Padang Mengatas is the only Livestock Breeding Center in Indonesia that specializes in producing breeding stock of Simental and Limousin beef cattle. While BPTU HPT Padang Mengatas focuses on livestock farming, they also recognize the need for technology and programs to streamline their work and keep up with the evolving times. Currently, various activities such as internship registration, cattle sales, visit requests, guest registration, and community satisfaction indexing are still carried out manually, resulting in significant time consumption for both data entry and report compilation. Specifically, in the internship process, BPTU HPT Padang Mengatas requires the implementation of an internship attendance information system for interns. This system enables evaluation of the interns based on their performance and presence during the internship period. The introduction of this information system is expected to assist the employees of BPTU HPT Padang Mengatas, enabling internship supervisors to expedite the data collection process. Additionally, it is anticipated that this application will facilitate BPTU HPT Padang Mengatas in monitoring and controlling its activities.

Abstract

This research aims to explore the impact of social media on Indonesian culture through a literature study approach. In the increasingly digital context of Indonesia, social media has a significant influence on various aspects of social, cultural, and economic life. This study highlights both the positive and negative impacts of social media. On the positive side, social media has become an important tool for expressing cultural identity, promoting cultural heritage, and fostering cultural diplomacy. Platforms like Instagram and TikTok provide space for the younger generation in Indonesia to share traditional cultural practices and strengthen pride and attachment to local culture. However, negative impacts also emerge, such as the spread of false information that can lead to social fragmentation, hatred, and discrimination. Additionally, changes in language and communication styles influenced by social media raise concerns about the preservation of more traditional Indonesian languages and cultures. This research also emphasizes the role of social media in marketing and consumer behavior, as well as how it can accelerate the digital divide in Indonesia. The study concludes that while social media offers many benefits, significant challenges in managing its negative effects, such as misinformation and social pressure, must be addressed. This research provides valuable insights into understanding the dynamics of Indonesian culture in the digital era and the importance of a balanced strategy in leveraging social media for social and cultural progress.
