Abstract

The paper underscores challenges and opportunities in the community of female dried-grass basket weavers in Purun Village, Banjarbaru, South Kalimantan, Indonesia. A training workshop based on how to improve the branding effort using online shops was conducted through a community classroom-type presentation with a simple step-by-step procedure, a practice for taking a product photograph from a smartphone, and a demonstration of setting up an online shop. Fourteen female weavers of Purun Village, Banjarbaru, South Kalimantan, Indonesia participated in the workshop. Results show a set of characteristics of a female basket weaver that uncovers both challenges and opportunities for improvement, not only for the individual woman but also the community and product sustainability of dried-grass basket weaving. Implications for continuous interaction and future research were discussed, including (1) the importance of understanding a variety of women’s roles in private and public spheres within the community context that could complement each other, and (2) the inevitability of introducing technology to the community to help furthering the participant’s skills and of small business community.

Abstract

This paper presents an initiative aimed at introducing digital skills to a rural community in East Java, Indonesia. A training workshop on the use of electronic surveys was conducted through a classroom-style presentation. The session included a simple step-by-step tutorial, hands-on practice using a smartphone-based electronic survey form, and a demonstration of how the survey results could be visualized. Thirty adult participants, both men and women, from the village of Karangpakis, Kabuh Regency, East Java, took part in the workshop. The findings indicate that the community service activity highlighted both challenges and opportunities for digital empowerment, which are analyzed in three key areas: (1) the delivery of an accessible workshop that enabled participants to practice using an online survey application; (2) the significance of introducing technology to enhance communication regarding village welfare; and (3) the advancement of participants’ digital literacy through exposure to the practical benefits of the survey results. The paper concludes by discussing implications for sustainable engagement and directions for future research.
