This chapter examines the role that citizens play when using the internet for gathering information. It is vital to understand the use of the Internet by citizens to address the issue of access to homeland security information. This chapter also provides information on how terrorism information is presented online and citizens’ use of this information is discussed. Jones, Hackney, and Irani (2007) believe that the key to the successful development of e-government is its citizens. There needs to be efforts to engage citizens in the adoption of e-government. These authors believe that this engagement will truly create a transformation of e-government that was envisioned by earlier writers in the field. This chapter discusses this level of engagement and shows that citizens are the least likely to use Internet for homeland security information if a terrorist attack occurs. Existing research on the adoption of e-government tends to focus on the supply of e-government in terms of the breadth and sophistication of government Websites. However, Streib and Navarro (2006) have examined the role the internet plays in public organizations using public opinion data, examining the demand for e-government. There is a need for more research on the demand for e-government and that is the focus of this chapter. The argument made in this chapter is that you need to understand citizens, and why they go online, to more effectively cater homeland security information to their needs. This chapter first discusses the important issue of the digital divide, the disparity between those that have Internet access and those that do not. This is followed by a discussion of citizen trust and satisfaction with e-government Websites. Followed this, there is a discussion of the citizen-initiated contacts literature as a framework that helps us understand why citizens contact government for information and services.

The 5th International Conference of Agroindustry and Bio-economy (ICGAB) 2021 has been successfully carried out virtually, and the IOP Conference Proceeding Series: Earth and Environmental Science has been completed. It was the second time for ICGAB to be conducted virtually amid the Covid-19 pandemic. The Covid-19 pandemic has been hitting us for about two years, and the Government of the Republic of Indonesia has not removed the travel restriction and physical distancing policy. However, information technology helps us bridge the distance and overcome the physical restriction. Therefore, the committee decided to hold the conference virtually to provide forums for the students, academics, researchers, and professionals to disseminate their research despite the pandemic condition. Last year ICGAB successfully addressed the emerging technologies and the integrated information system for sustainable agroindustry. Such technology, innovation and information system are becoming critical for shifting agroindustry from conventional practices to be more sustainable. Therefore, Indonesia needs to strive, adapt and integrate the information system in agroindustry by implementing the internet of things (IoT) towards agroindustry 4.0. Such approaches may create opportunities for expanding sustainable agroindustry as well as to achieve food security. Thus, the current ICGAB topic is “Implementation of IoT to achieve Food Security and Green Agroindustry”. The 5th ICGAB 2021 aimed to communicate and disseminate research experiences, technology innovation, research and technology advances, and case studies related to implementing the internet of things (IoT) to achieve food security and green agroindustry. Since 2017, ICGAB has been successfully attracting more than 1100 participants from various countries. This year, the Faculty of Agricultural Technology Universitas Brawijaya (FAT UB) organised ICGAB virtually on 6-7 July 2021. The conference was managed in Universitas Brawijaya, Malang, East Java, Indonesia, using a virtual reality stage and Zoom platform. The distinguished keynote speakers for the plenary session were Prof. Naoshi Kondo from Kyoto University, Japan; Prof. Indrawati Oey from The University of Otago, New Zealand; Assoc. Prof. Young Hoon Jung from Kyungpook National University, Korea; and Dr. Irnia Nurika from Universitas Brawijaya, Indonesia. An International Workshop for Industry (IWI) was also carried out on the second day of the ICGAB conferences. Keynote speakers from industries were addressing IoT implementation in the industrial sector. The industrial practitioners as the second-day keynote speakers are Mr. Asep Noor, the General Manager Manufacturing System of Indolakto Indonesia; Mr. Fadli Hamsani from Schneider Indonesia; Dr. Nugroho Adi Sasongko from Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT), Indonesia, and Mr. Hoang Son Le from Yanmar Holdings, Japan.

The objective of this research is to analyse the important items in the disclosure of benefit IFR to company and users, factors companies to engage or not engage IFR and some audit issues that can be used to describe the level of IFR from auditor’s perception. Questionnaires were distributed to 100 auditors. A total of 40 questionnaires were completed and returned, giving a response rate of 40 percent. Based on the literature review of the IFR from the survey towards auditors indicate three items of benefit IFR to user are helps users in the decision-making process, provides accessibility to the users, increase timeliness and efficiency in obtaining financial information. Meanwhile, three items on benefit IFR towards company are attract foreign investors, attract local investors, and promote company wider to the public. On the other hand, three factor influence companies to engage IFR because enhancement of corporate image, stability and improvement in share prices and competitors in the industry. Whilst, three-factor Company not to engage IFR because requires expertise from the company, concerned over disclosure of propriety information and concerned over security information. Finally, the findings of this study also cover audit issues, for example the conversion or transposition processes involved in publishing information on the internet is susceptible to error, information on the internet is exposed to access and modification by unauthorised users both external and internal to the reporting entity and that information on the internet has the potential to be very fluid. Lastly, the limitation of this study was also highlighted and there are suggestions for future research.

Electronic government or e-government in this chapter can be defined as the delivery of government information and services to citizens through the Internet 24 hours a day, seven days per week. This definition has been used in other empirical studies of e-government adoption (Moon and Norris, 2005a). This chapter adds to this definition Grant and Chau’s (2005) interpretation of e-government as a broad-based transformative initiative, which is consistent with creating more citizen-centric government. Gronlund (2005) reviews the various definitions of e-government and has found they share a common theme of the need for organizational transformation through technological implementation. Citizen-centric e-government is the delivery of government services continuously to citizens, businesses, and other government agencies through the Internet (Seifert and Relyea, 2004). Citizen-centric government through e-government acts as a transformational tool that provides a new government model based on being citizen focused (Schelin, 2003). Some scholars have argued that for e-government to fully realize its capabilities, it must transform government from agency-centric to citizen-centric (Seifert and Relyea, 2004). The term e-government emerged in the late 1990s. It was born out of the Internet boom. The literature on information technology (IT) use within government is different from e-government because it more often focuses on external use, such as services to citizens’ and organizational change (Gronlund and Horan, 2004). Definitions of e-government that focus exclusively on service delivery components fail to capture the more complex aspects of government transformation because of IT (Grant and Chau, 2005). The purpose of this chapter is to provide an overview of the e-government literature with a focus on how it influences citizens. In order to understand some of the issues associated with Homeland Security Information Systems (HSIS), we need to provide information on e-government and its impact on government. There is a discussion in this chapter of the evolution of the roles and responsibilities of federal CIOs. There also is a description of how the public sector CIO’s environment is uniquely different from what can be found in private sector. In this chapter, we identify what it means to create a more citizen-centric government through e-government. A conceptual framework is outlined explaining what factors one would expect to be associated with creating a more citizen-centric government. This chapter articulates how these findings can be used to move e-government to higher stages of development. There also are examples of HSIS creating more citizen-centric government towards the end of the chapter.

The Internet Of Things

This paper applied a literature-based discovery methodology utilizing citation networks and text mining in order to extract and represent shared terminologies found in disjoint academic literature on food security and the Internet of Things. The topic of food security includes research on improvements in nutrition, sustainable agriculture, and a plurality of other social challenges, while the Internet of Things refers to a collection of technologies from which solutions can be drawn. Academic articles on both topics were classified into subclusters, and their text contents were compared against each other to find shared terms. These terms formed a network from which clusters of related keywords could be identified, potentially easing the exploration of common themes. Thirteen transversal themes, including blockchain, healthcare, and air quality, were found. This method can be applied by policymakers and other stakeholders to understand how a given technology could contribute to solving a pressing social issue.
