“…This is also explained by [51], [57] that a good information system is a system that pays attention to service quality and contributes to policy making. Furthermore [58], [59] explained that the digitalbased environment has a positive impact in the long term.…”

The limitation in conveying information from the village head to the community is still very slow because they have to write to the head of the neighborhood unit (RT). This condition is very ineffective, so the purpose of this research is to build an application that can facilitate the government and the Tolada village community in getting information quickly. This application is built using the programming language PHP, Javascript and MySQL DBMS which is then tested for quality by the black box method. The results of the study indicate that this application is feasible and effective for use by the government and the local community based on the recommendation of an expert validator in the field of information technology.

“…There is an ongoing debate on the effects of digital technologies on the environment, especially on whether digital technologies are worsening the environment, or if it helps improve environmental performance. A study on 25 European countries [88] reports that the short-term consequences of digitalization are adverse, whereas, in the long run, positive effects are apparent. The same study [88] states that the digitalization of businesses and digital public services directly impacts environmental health and ecosystem vitality, where environmental performance only improves in the long term.…”

Technology Dependency and Impact During COVID-19: A Systematic Literature Review and Open Challenges

et al. 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic is still a challenge in many countries, although life must proceed while ensuring the pandemic is managed critically. Due to the delay in producing permanent medical intervention, despite the availability of vaccines, there is still a need to depend on technology in performing several tasks. A systematic literature review that provides comprehensive evidence on technology dependence and the impact of technology on individuals during the pandemic is lacking. This study systematically reviewed scholarly works related to technology dependency from a broad view since the pandemic and mapped the research findings into a taxonomy, thus establishing the trend in technology type, major areas of technology dependency, and the impact of technology during the pandemic. The mapped taxonomy is used to expound on open challenges and recommendations. The final set from the systematic search was 76 articles. Technology might be an avenue for administering and enhancing health services, improving outreaches, and supporting curbing the spread of diseases. However, the impact of technology dependence is both positive and negative. A systematic mapping was conducted to explore the literature on the impacts of technology, where there is a need for further research. Notwithstanding the category, most of the reviewed articles emphasized the usage and impact of technology at such a time of the pandemic and provided insights on the manner of addressing them. Realistically, there has been an acceleration of digitalization trends in the present era of the COVID-19 pandemic and the possibility of rapid development of novel digital technologies.

“…The most recent research published in the last two years examines the concept of digitalisation in a wide variety of domains, ranging from economics and environmental performance to the micro-assembly space and the digital transformation of higher education [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Many of these studies are looking into the topic of digital transformation [15,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31], and some of them are even continuing to review the relationship between digitalisation and long-term sustainability [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43].…”

Digitalisation provides access to an integrated network of information that can benefit society and businesses. However, the evidence of sustainability in business is less researched. In our paper, by building up the research approach, we address the relevant gap by investigating how sustainable development goals represent the interrelationship between digitalisation and sustainability. Such research is particularly important because understandings of digitalisation and sustainability determine how different actors, including business managers and policymakers, act in response to those imperatives to develop future employees skills starting from school age. Following a multi-method approach, we have combined our analysis into two steps examining the relationship between digitalisation and sustainability. Building digital networks, business managers and policy makers using digital means can create some unique opportunities to strategically address sustainable development challenges for the United Nations Targets (SDG) to ensure higher productivity, education, and an equality-oriented society. This point of view describes the potential of digitalisation for society and businesses of the future. The authors revise the links between digitalisation and sustainability in the European Union countries by using data available in Eurostat and UNECE public databases. The two-stage methodology for the identification of the relationship between ICT and sustainability is used in the paper and a linear regression model is applied. The results showed tiers with five SDGs, focusing on business, and all these tiers are fixed in the constructed equations for each SDG. The recommended solution is statistically valid and proves the novelty of this research. Among digitalisation indicators, only mobile-cellular subscriptions and fixed-broadband sub-basket prices in part do not affect researched sustainable development indicators.
