"What is a computer?" and "What is information?" are questions that the reflective user will sometimes ponder. These questions do not refer to what the computer means to us, subjectively (or intersubjectively) nor as enabling particular applications, whether controlling or emancipatory in nature; those issues were addressed in chapter 4. What is at issue is the nature of the computer regardless of application and of (inter-)subjective meaning. What is it that differentiates computer from, for example, mechanical machine or electronic gadget on one hand, or from other information technology such as writing, printing, film or video on the other? Pre-theoretical experience continues to assert that there is a difference.

Today the development of technology is very rapidly developing which affects various aspects of life. The development of these technologies takes on several important roles such as business, organizational structure and organizational management. The website is a form of information technology development that presents information needed by all people in carrying out their activities such as business, social, and others. Hyperlink is a way that is used to connect a part of a website in the form of files, documents, images or so on. Arranging the appearance of interfaces that are user friendly from a website is important because if a website has so many menus, it will be difficult for someone to move from one page to another. If the menu presentation is not appropriate then indirectly it will reduce user friendly value. One way that can be done is to apply automatic hyperlinks, namely if an information that is conveyed on a page contains words that match the other information pages, it will automatically make the word into a menu. To be able to apply the automatic hyperlink, an algorithm is needed to find the words contained in a paragraph, one of the algorithms that can be used is the Raita algorithm. Raita algorithm is part of the exact string matching algorithm, which is to match the string correctly with the arrangement of characters in a matched string that has the number or sequence of characters in the same string.

The Right

We must look ahead at today's radical changes in technology, not just as forecasters but as actors charged with designing and bringing about a sustainable and acceptable world. New knowledge gives us power for change: for good or ill, for knowledge is neutral. The problems we face go well beyond technology: problems of living in harmony with nature, and most important, living in harmony with each other. Information technology, so closely tied to the properties of the human mind, can give us, if we ask the right questions, the special insights we need to advance these goals. Herbert A. Simon (2000)

The Relationship

The interiority of buildings in tropical countries requires specific characteristics unlike those in countries with four distinct seasons. Buildings in non-tropical climates must protect their inhabitants from extreme weather, meaning that the architecture’s connection with nature is necessarily limited by a boundary which can withstand extreme climatic differences. In tropical countries, on the other hand, the temperature does not fluctuate much throughout the year, so the temperature difference between seasons is not extreme. This characteristic is reflected in traditional Nusantara architecture, which incorporates a breathable wall so that free winds come in, reducing heat. The roof is tilted or saddled-shaped to keep rain water away from the building. The architecture uses organic materials and includes terraces for dialogue with nature. Modern Indonesian architecture, however, particularly in large cities, is mostly closed off, severely limiting the interaction with nature. Since the advent of air conditioning (AC) technology during the 1980’s, architecture has changed to seal the boundaries of the building. Advances in information technology such as Internet and smartphones have made for further changes to architecture in the area; some functional spaces are being discarded, while others are expanded. The relationship between architecture and nature is now constrained by impenetrable materials such as brick, concrete and glass, as opposed to the more traditional, permeable boundary. In contrast to this trend, modern Indonesian society is tempted to form a closer relationship with nature. This paper examines how a relationship between nature and the interior of buildings may be accommodated again, presenting some existing projects by several architects from Europe and Asian countries—including the authors’ own work—as case studies.

This paper proposes a model for optimizing the ferry traffic and the traffic demand at the macroscopic level by using information technology (IT) and the existing tourist amenities as a key element for achieving harmonization of supply and demand, i.e. optimization of the assessed system. Proposed approach differs from the other/present models because it includes the application of the macroscopic, instead of the microscopic (local) approach, i.e. harmonization of the ferry infrastructure demand from the place of its origin (road border crossings) to the place of its operation, i.e. the ferry infrastructure, and not solely in particular segments of the ferry infrastructure.

Having an information technology (IT) plan is a minimum baseline for optimal IT governance. But, creating a plan is only one problem, executing it poses even more challenging problems. In this research, we investigate the correlation between an organization’s IT plan and the organization’s IT governance maturity level. We show that, on one hand, executing an IT plan requires a certain IT governance maturity level, on the other hand, the experience of executing an IT plan drives the organization IT governance maturity level. We compare the situations in two government institutions and found indications that the organization with an ambitious IT plan has more mature IT governance than the other whose IT plan is relatively modest. The results suggest that an effective IT plan should include plans for the development of IT governance mechanisms relevant to the goals that the plan is intended to achieve, and the plan’s implementation schedule, also known as the IT roadmap, should take into consideration the growth of the IT governance mechanisms’ maturity levels. Memiliki rencana untuk teknologi informasi (TI) adalah base line untuk tata kelola TI yang optimal. Tapi, membuat rencana hanyalah satu masalah, melaksanakannya akan menciptakan masalah baru yang lebih menantang. Dalam penelitian ini, kami menyelidiki korelasi antara rencana TI suatu organisasi dengan tingkat maturity tata kelola TI-nya. Kami menunjukkan bahwa, di satu sisi, untuk melaksanakan rencana TI memerlukan tingkat kematangan tata kelola TI tertentu, di sisi lain, pengalaman dalam menjalankan rencana TI mendorong organisasi dalam meningkatkan tata kelola TI. Kami membandingkan situasi di dua lembaga pemerintah dan menemukan indikasi bahwa organisasi dengan rencana TI yang ambisius memiliki tata kelola TI lebih matang dari organisasi yang rencana TI-nya relatif sederhana. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perencanaan TI yang efektif harus mencakup rencana untuk pengembangan mekanisme tata kelola TI yang relevan dengan tujuan yang ingin dicapai, dan jadwal pelaksanaan rencana atau roadmap TI, harus mempertimbangkan pertumbuhan tingkat mekanisme tata kelola TI.
