Abstract

Challenges in implementing e-government in villages, in SIMDESPRIMA there are still many obstacles such as lack of digital literacy in the community, limited infrastructure and suboptimal system management capabilities, thus hampering the process of implementing SIMDESPRIMA as an effort by the village government in Bintan Regency in developing a village information system that is used to facilitate the management of village data and information in an integrated and accurate manner, which can increase transparency and accountability of village government, and is expected to attract public service processes. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of implementing e-government through the Priority Village Management Information System (SIMDESPRIMA) in Toapaya District, Bintan Regency. By using qualitative research methods and effectiveness indicators according to Sutrisno, this study examines aspects of program understanding, target accuracy, timeliness, goal achievement, and real change. The results of the study show that although SIMDESPRIMA has great potential in increasing efficiency, transparency, and public services at the village level, its implementation still faces various obstacles such as low digital literacy, inadequate infrastructure, and lack of ongoing socialization and training. In addition, the system features have not been fully utilized optimally, and community participation in supermarkets is still low. Based on these findings, it is recommended that there is a need for increased training, socialization, strengthening of infrastructure, and firm regulatory support from the village and district governments so that this system can run effectively, sustainably, and truly provide maximum benefits for village communities.
