Utilization of Communication Information Technology in the Development of Smart Villages

Abstract

Literature review research related to the use of Communication Information Technology in developing Smart Villages in Indonesia from the perspective of development communication which has never been done before. The aim of this research is to analyze smart village studies in the 2018-2023 timeframe. The research method that has been used is Systematic Literature Review (SLR) with the PRISMA protocol for all research articles indexed in Scopus, Google Scholar, and Garuda. The search strategy is adjusted to the selection criteria and involves several variables related to publication research trends, education levels, journal indexes, research materials, and the type of evidence studied. The data obtained is presented in a quantitative descriptive manner. The results of this SLR research show that there are many studies on the use of Information and Communication Technology in developing Smart Villages. Still, only a few are related to the Development Communication perspective. The Department of Information Systems, Informatics Engineering, and Computer Science carries out most studies. However, there is still a lack of knowledge in the social humanities field.
