Abstract

This study investigates digital literacy among village government officials in Kalisogo Tambak during the implementation of the Village Information System (SID) Program. Employing a descriptive analysis with a quantitative approach, data was gathered through observations, interviews, and questionnaires. The research focused on seven aspects of digital literacy, including knowledge assembly, information presentation, material comprehension, awareness of media importance, network access awareness, information filtering, and comfort with communication and information dissemination. Results indicate an overall strong digital literacy index among the village government apparatus, with the highest score in feeling comfortable and having broad access (77%) and the lowest in awareness of the importance of conventional media and its connection to internet media (70%). The findings underscore the need for targeted interventions to improve awareness in this specific aspect, offering valuable insights for enhancing integrated digital-based public services.
