Tujuan Pembangungan Berkelanjutan (TPB): Hilirisasi Inovasi Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi menuju Independent dan Smart Village

Towards an independent and smart village that is successful, advanced, and independent, and prosperous, forms of active participation from various parties, including universities, to support the success of the program are needed. Therefore, this community service activity will be carried out in order to downstream information and communication technology innovation to go independent and smart village which will be carried out in Rukti Endah Village seputih Raman District of Central Lampung Regency. The purpose of this activity is to hold the official village page, train human resources, and digitize data and information and public services. This activity will be carried out by methods of presentation, discussion, model development, practice, and simulation. Through this activity, it is expected that partner villages will be able to improve the quality of service so that it is no longer confusing and time-consuming so that the village apparatus will not be busy with administrative problems. In addition, village data and information will be more organized so that decision making for data-driven development purposes can be done appropriately and various potential villages will be accessible to anyone and at any time. Digital village progress for the future is very good because with the smart village it is expected that the village can become independent and able to run it. The structure of the village is also important because it makes the community an important part of the development and progress of the village so that almost all village policies will always pay attention to the existence of the community.

Mobilizing Archaeologists

Data collection takes up much of the already limited time archaeologists have to excavate and often requires additional time to digitize. Moreover, despite efforts to standardize data, archaeologists often find errors such as blank or incorrectly recorded fields. To avoid these issues, several projects have made use of tablet computers to streamline and digitize data, but this process can be opaque, specialized, and expensive. Previous research has addressed neither the general feasibility of developing and utilizing mobile devices for data collection nor the quality and quantity of these data. In this article, I review existing methods and practices for integrating data collection on mobile devices in order to evaluate the costs and feasibility of transitioning to a mobile-based data collection system. Through a case study using OsteoSurvey, a series of bioarchaeological data collection forms for Android tablets, I assess the efficacy of data collection on mobile devices. An experiment comparing OsteoSurvey to traditional paper forms demonstrates that participants saved time and made fewer mistakes using the OsteoSurvey forms, resulting in the collection of 21–32 percent more data. Consequently, data collection with mobile devices can significantly increase the overall productivity and quality of archaeological research
