Society 5.0: Optimization of Socio-Technical System in Poverty Reduction

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to design a digital platform design as one solution to solving poverty problems that exist in the community with various causes. Poverty is a complex problem caused by multidimensionality. The cause of poverty is not only a problem of economic inequality but also caused by social problems, education, and lack of access to communicate or communication. The methodology used in this research is Sociotechnical System (STS), STS analysis used six attributes, namely goals, people, buildings/infrastructure, technology, culture, and processes/procedures. This approach (STS) analyzes approaches based on social problems and technical problems. The final results of this study created a digital platform design as a public space to capture community participation in order to care and want to share with poor communities in the form of entrepreneurship training groups (UKM). This technology becomes a tool to help in educating society, not a rival of the community in accordance with the principles of society 5.0.
