The research objective is to build a model of information delivery harmonious culture that is run by Village Credit Institutions (LPD) through information technology to rural communities so that financial performance can be improved. Thirty-five rural credit institutions which meet the criteria were used empirically as a sample. Data such as the practice of cultural values harmony collected through in-depth interviews were then analyzed using descriptive method and ethnomethodology. The model is built starting with the collection of data from each row, perform data classification into three categories of cultural harmony, making a website that contains information on the activities of cultural harmony, then mounting internet in each row to facilitate public access to information on the implementation of cultural harmony. Results of model simulations for three months showed that the level of community participation increased by an average of five percent through credit lending and credit issues decreased by 3.5 percent. Cultural harmony is practiced by 55% in touch with the God, 35% related to humans, and 10% related natural premises. Results of this study implied that IT is no longer expensive but able to create a better performance.

“…Some victims have become fearful of using the technology after experiencing TFDA, and hence, they have avoided using online apps, including apps designed for victims' safety and protection (Freed et al, 2017). Nevertheless, a study conducted by Zaidi et al (2015) found that the majority of female participants described their tech skills as good or excellent. The study found that 40% of participants learnt about technology subsequent to their experience of being abused via technology, as they concluded they needed to educate and empower themselves.…”

“…Reviewed studies suggest that phones can be used to harass, manipulate, control and stalk victims and potentially enhance surveillance (Cavezza & McEwan, 2014; Dimond et al, 2011; Douglas et al, 2019; Dragiewicz et al, 2019; George & Harris, 2014; Havard & Lefevre, 2020; Woodlock, 2017; Zaidi et al, 2015). Woodlock (2017, p. 590) found that texting was the most common form of TFDA that perpetrators used to harass victims and ‘put her down’.…”

Women are increasingly at risk of gender-based violence through technology and digital tools. Some digital devices and apps such as GPS location tracking, spyware, mobile phones and social media platforms have become new tools for perpetrators to monitor, harass and abuse victims. However, the nature and impacts of technology on intimate partner violence (IPV) have remained perplexing and ambiguous. Hence, this scoping review was conducted to explore the nature, patterns and consequences of technology-facilitated domestic abuse (TFDA). All journal articles and grey literature exploring the TFDA phenomenon, its nature and impacts on victims and services providers were scanned, and twenty-two papers were included in this scoping review. Overall, findings showed that digital devices, online applications and social media accounts facilitated IPV and exacerbated the consequences of abuse. Yet, many victims and frontline workers found understanding the nature and impacts of TFDA difficult. They faced many challenges addressing this form of abuse. Thus, several strategies are needed to adequately tackle TFDA, including conducting further research on the issue, developing appropriate policy and addressing gender inequality in the online environment.

“…Speci c to sexualized violence, qualitative evidence shows that technology can provide access to information and services, strengthen support networks, and support sexualized violence victims in their safety and escape planning (41). An Australian review found that safety apps for public stranger violence focused mainly on location-based services, personal alarms, and crowd-sourced data (42).…”

Background Sexualized violence against women is a significant human rights problem worldwide. Safety apps have the capacity to provide women with resources to prevent or respond to experiences of sexualized violence. The aim of the following study was to review the scope of the literature on women’s experiences of safety apps related to sexualized violence and identify if there is a current gap in this literature. Methods This scoping review employed a systematic methodology guided by the Arksey and O’Malley framework. The search for this scoping review was conducted in January 2020 and four electronic databases were searched: Embase, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and Scopus. Reference lists of systematic reviews, scoping reviews, and literature reviews that were found through the search of databases were also checked to ensure all relevant studies had been screened. Last, the table of contents for the last five years (2015–2020) were hand searched in four key journals (Journal of Technology in Human Services, Violence Against Women, BMC Public Health, and Health Promotion International) to identify any articles that may have been missed in the database search. Covidence was used to complete the screening. All data that met inclusion criteria was charted, extracted and synthesized. Results Across the four databases searched, a total of 389 studies were identified; 127 duplicates were removed, resulting in 262 studies screened. In total, 6 studies were included from the search of databases and 1 study was included from hand-searching, for a total of 7 included studies. Thematic analysis identified the following themes in the literature, which are summarized narratively: (1) security; (2) accessibility; and (3) knowledge. Recommendations and barriers found in relation to each theme are also presented. Conclusions This review confirms that the qualitative literature on women’s experiences of sexualized violence safety apps is scarce and exposes that a gap in the literature on this topic. The gaps in the literature were identified and implications and recommendations for future research are discussed.
