- Abstract
The presence of telecommunications and informatics infrastructure through the "Desa Pinter" program (Village has Internet) has the potential to accelerate the occurrence of social, economic and cultural changes in the community, especially in the villages. But in reality, people in the village are still reluctant to use information and communication technology (ICT) to access community services available at village government offices. In this context, it has been found that the community-based communication model (CBC) is used to develop ICT in the village so that the available infrastructure can be utilized optimally. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the CBC model in developing ICT in the village. Using a case study, this study selected 18 districts in West Java that had village internet. The results show that the CBC model can invite villagers to use ICT, especially for welfare improvement. However, there are still obstacles in the procurement and maintenance of ICTs, both in terms of budget and human resources. The village government is expected to overcome these obstacles.
