Abstract
Layanan Informasi Desa/Rural Information Service (LISA) is an information service for farmers based on SMS. It is used to disseminate agricultural information and provide a space for agricultural tips, ask questions and have a discussion. This study was conducted to determine the response and the perceived benefits of these services for farmer households. The study was conducted in Karawang, where LISA was launched. The results showed that the frequency of LISA’S use varied greatly from once per week to 30 times per week, but no farmer household used Android-based applications. The frequency of use of these services is significantly related to satisfaction level and is associated with the level of knowledge of farmer households. On the other hand, the frequency of use of LISA is unrelated to the characteristics of farmer households, which include age, education, sex, land ownership, as well as participation in farmer groups, and cosmopolitanism. A higher level of knowledge is also related to the suitability of the tips given by LISA and the degree of satisfaction with the LISA.
农村信息服务(Layanan Informasi Desa/Rural Information Service, LISA)是一种基于SMS的面向农民的信息服务。它用于传播农业信息,并提供一个农业贴士、提问和讨论的空间。本研究旨在确定农户对这些服务的反应和感知收益。这项研究是在卡拉旺进行的,LISA就是在那里发射的。结果显示,LISA的使用频率从每周1次到每周30次变化很大,但没有农户使用基于android的应用程序。这些服务的使用频率与满意度显著相关,并与农户的知识水平相关。另一方面,LISA的使用频率与农户的特征无关,包括年龄、教育程度、性别、土地所有权以及参与农民团体和世界主义。较高的知识水平还与丽莎所提供的提示是否合适以及对丽莎的满意程度有关。
