“…Our study finds that female students, irrespective of their location, found social interactions with their peers to be much more restricted during online study at the time of the COVID-19 lockdown in comparison to male students. Moreover, in developing countries, many segments of the lower-and middle-income populations across rural and urban locations reside in small, congested settlements that lack proper drainage, sanitation, and ventilation [34][35][36]. Isolation would have put more burden on these families.…”

This study explores digital divide issues that influenced online learning activities during the COVID-19 lockdown in five developing countries in South Asia. A multi-layered and interpretive analytical lens guided by three interrelated perspectives—structure, cultural practices, and agency—revealed various nuanced aspects across location-based (i.e., rural vs. urban) and across gendered (i.e., male vs. female) student groups. A key message that emerged from our investigation was the subtle ways in which the digital divide is experienced, specifically by female students and by students from rural backgrounds. Female students face more structural and cultural impositions than male students, which restricts them from fully availing digital learning opportunities. Rich empirical evidence shows these impositions are further exacerbated at times of crisis, leading to a lack of learning (agency) for women. This research has provided a gendered and regional outlook on digital discriminations and other inequalities that came to the forefront during the COVID-19 lockdown. This study is especially relevant as online learning is being touted as the next step in digitization; therefore, it can inform educational policymaking and help build inclusive digital societies and bridge current gender and regional divisions.

Pemerintah Provinsi DKI Jakarta mengimplementasikan smart city untuk mewujudkan Society 5.0. Penelitian ini bertujuan melihat sejauh mana warga Jakarta mampu mengimplementasikan Society 5.0 karena Jakarta merupakan salah satu megacities di dunia. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus di Meruya Utara dengan informan penelitian dari perangkat kelurahan, opinion leader milenial, dan manajer program Jakarta Smart City. Penelitian ini menemukan, warga Jakarta belum sampai pada tahap Society 5.0. Masih terdapat masyarakat yang belum mengetahui aplikasi pelayanan publik online, masih ada kesenjangan teknologi digital, dan minimnya literasi digital. Fenomena ini menunjukkan adanya kemungkinan serupa di lingkungan warga kelas menangah Jakarta bahkan seluruh Indonesia, meski harus ada penelitian sejenis yang mendukung. Untuk menuju Society 5.0 perlu peningkatan literasi digital agar masyarakat memiliki kompetensi dan pemahaman penggunaan teknologi secara efektif dan kritis. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan tata kelola pemerintahan kolaboratif yang memadukan kebijakan pemerintah dan partisipasi warga dalam membangun ekosistem digital smart city untuk mendorong implementasi peradaban digital cerdas Society 5.0.
