Structural Readiness for System Padu: A Rural Perspectives

Abstract

n rural areas, the adoption of technological systems such as PADU (Pangkalan Data Utama) holds promise for enhancing efficiency and service subsidies. However, successful implementation hinges on the structural readiness of these communities. This study explores the intersection of structural readiness and system PADU adoption in rural communities, aiming to uncover key factors influencing the adoption process. Data was collected from communities in Linggi, Negeri Sembilan through interviews. Findings reveal significant challenges in infrastructure, resources and support systems, highlighting the importance of addressing structural readiness for successful technology integration. Implications for policy and practice are discussed, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions to bridge the gap and facilitate system PADU adoption in rural areas, ultimately contributing to equitable development and improved public service subsidies
