Abstract

Bali is known as the Island of the Gods because it has thousands of Hindu temples. However, not all Balinese people, especially those in the younger generation, are familiar with the gods and goddesses worshipped in each temple. Therefore, the researchers developed Wikipura, an online bilingual encyclopedia for Hindu temples in Bali. Specifically, this study aimed to examine male and female respondents’ acceptance of Wikipura and to identify the factors influencing their acceptance. This study employed a survey research design. The researchers collected data using a questionnaire developed based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The research sample consisted of 300 Generation Z Balinese Hindus, including 150 male respondents and 150 female respondents. The participants were selected using quota sampling. The collected data were analyzed quantitatively using descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis. The findings revealed that both male and female respondents showed a high level of acceptance of Wikipura, and there was no significant difference between the acceptance levels of male and female respondents. The high level of acceptance of Wikipura indicates that digital tools can effectively introduce cultural and religious heritage to young people. It also demonstrates that integrating technology into educational frameworks can be a powerful strategy for preserving and disseminating cultural knowledge.
