Abstract:
This study aims to analyze the forms, functions, and implications of the synergy between Customary Villages (Desa Adat) and Administrative Villages (Desa Dinas) in the implementation of information technology based on Tri Hita Karana in Duda Timur Village, Selat District, Karangasem Regency. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive-exploratory design. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies, and then analyzed using interactive analysis techniques. The results show that the synergy between Customary Villages and Administrative Villages is manifested in institutional integration, policy coordination, and collaborative information system management. This synergy functions to strengthen transparent village governance, enhance community participation, and maintain a balance between technological modernization and the preservation of local cultural values. Furthermore, the implementation of information technology based on Tri Hita Karana has positive implications for improving the quality of public services, strengthening social cohesion, preserving culture, and supporting environmental and economic sustainability at the village level. Thus, this synergy represents a model of village development that is adaptive to technological advancements while remaining rooted in local wisdom.
