Abstract

This community service initiative explores the synergistic relationship between village funds and social capital in empowering communities in Rantau Duku, Jambi, Indonesia. Recognizing the potential of village funds as a catalyst for development and the vital role of social capital in facilitating collective action, this project aimed to enhance community capacity to effectively utilize these resources for local development. This project employed a participatory action research (PAR) approach, involving community members in all stages of the initiative. The intervention included capacity-building workshops on village fund management, participatory planning, and conflict resolution, along with facilitating community dialogues to strengthen social cohesion and trust. The project resulted in increased community participation in village development planning and budgeting processes, improved transparency and accountability in village fund management, and enhanced social cohesion among community members. Several community-led initiatives were successfully implemented, including infrastructure improvements, economic empowerment programs, and social welfare programs. In conclusion, this initiative demonstrates the transformative potential of combining village funds with strong social capital to empower communities. By fostering community ownership and participation, and strengthening social cohesion, this approach can effectively contribute to sustainable and equitable development in rural Indonesia.

Abstract

Mobile payment systems (MPS) are rapidly transforming financial transactions in Indonesia, including in Jambi Province. However, the adoption rate varies significantly. This study investigates the factors influencing consumer adoption of MPS in Jambi, Indonesia, using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as a theoretical framework. A quantitative approach was employed, involving a survey of 300 consumers in Jambi Province. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to examine the relationships between perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, social influence, trust, perceived risk, and the intention to use MPS. The findings revealed that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, social influence, and trust positively influence the intention to use MPS. Conversely, perceived risk negatively affects adoption intention. This study provides valuable insights for policymakers, financial institutions, and mobile payment providers to promote MPS adoption in Jambi. Strategies should focus on enhancing the perceived usefulness and ease of use of MPS, building trust, leveraging social influence, and mitigating perceived risks.
