The ability of Indonesian citizens in remote, outermost, and forward areas (3T) to apply digital security is superior to that of those in non-3T areas.
This is based on findings from a survey report by a collaboration between the Ministry of Communication and Informatics (Kominfo) and the Katadata Insight Center (KIC), titled *Status Literasi Digital di Indonesia 2022*.
Generally, the 2022 digital literacy index for 3T regions scored 3.52 points. This is slightly lower than the index score for non-3T regions, which was 3.54.
Based on its pillars, the *Digital Culture* pillar in 3T regions received the highest score at 3.80. This is also slightly lower than the same pillar in non-3T regions, which scored 3.84.
Next, the *Digital Ethics* pillar in 3T regions scored 3.55, 3.13 points lower than non-3T regions. Then, the *Digital Skill* pillar in 3T regions recorded a score of 3.53, a slight advantage of 0.01 over non-3T regions.
Meanwhile, the *Digital Safety* pillar in 3T regions received the lowest score compared to other pillars, at 3.20. Non-3T regions only scored 3.12.
"However," said the research team, "(the 3T region score) is 0.08 points higher compared to the non-3T score."
The indicator within the *Digital Safety* pillar with the highest score was the habit of creating secure passwords with a combination of numbers, letters, and punctuation marks (3.54). The indicator of the ability to distinguish emails containing spam/viruses/malware had the lowest score (2.83).
The Ministry of Communication and Informatics and KIC conducted this survey on 10,000 internet users aged 13-70 years, spread across 34 provinces and 514 regencies/cities in Indonesia. The proportion of male respondents was 51%, while female respondents were 49%.
The survey was conducted during August-September 2022 through face-to-face interviews. Sampling was done using multistage random sampling, with a margin of error of around 0.98% and a 95% confidence interval.
Respondents had diverse backgrounds, including housewives, entrepreneurs, workers, students, farmers, and others. The complete report on this survey can be accessed and downloaded via the link: https://survei.literasidigital.id/.
