Technology for Society

yuti — May 21, 2008 / 10:36 am

Indonesia’s government has several technology program for rural area such as technology diffusion, appropriate technology (teknologi tepat guna). Unfortunately, those programs only sustain due to training period. After trainers left the area, people targeted as technology adopter use to turn back to their old habit. Reason of this phenomena can be classified into several level as follows:

  1. Material artifact. To be sustain, a technology has to proof it performance.
  2. Knowledge. Performance of the technology has to be understood by the acceptor. Bio gas reactor for example, as a machine this invention has an economic value through it capability to convert animal waste into energy. But in a cultural perspective, bio gas performance is also influenced by the society knowledge to operate the machine.
  3. Incentive/disincentive. As a reward to change and face uncertainty of the new technology.
