Abstract—Currently, nearly all countries try to combine
city government and a smart city idea. A few previous studies
have developed different ISS efficiency modeling techniques.
Many studies have previously analyzed the quality of service
and experience of smart - city applications. However, very few
studies have studied the Smart District model efficiency of the
organization, which is significantly different from a smart
city's general definition. The objective of this study is to verify
the level of service by using mobile devices in areas or districts.
The TOE frame is the model and methodology used to define
service adoption of the information system, which combines
aspects of technology, organization, and a supportive
environment. To collect data from a hundred ninety-two
stakeholders, the online survey method, which is the data
processing by AMOS 24.0 software. The findings of this
research confirm that there is a significant and constructive
impact on quality assessment of smart district services on the
dimensions adopted by the TOE Framework. This paper
explains the performance model of a smart, mobile-based
district information system. This study recommends that local
authorities and governments focus more on critical issues
affecting the quality of cellular services
Keywords—information system adoption, smart city, smart
regency, TOE framework, mobile-based

I. INTRODUCTION
Built Smart City is an integrated urban and ICT-focused
management system. The program can solve an increasingly
complex array of urban problems by effectively optimizing
community resources[1],[2],[3],[4] . Smart City promotes
human resources management, economic development,
prosperity, and social sustainability in urban life and growth.
[5]. Local governments use intelligent cities in different
cities around the world and in Indonesia, including Madura
Island[6], [7].
Assessing the efficiency of information systems in a
sustainable urban environment is an essential and crucial
element in the growth of smart cities. Some quality of service
studies in the creation of a bright area, such as Fasa et al. (
2017), quality assessments of the bus service in South
Tangerang[8], Arman et al. ( 2015) study of ISO 37120
smart city technology[9], Nasrallah and (2014) IEEE 802.11
Standard of Service Systems Communication Protocol in
Smart Cities[10], Quality management expertise for data
processing Floris et tous (2018) Smart government
services[11], Noskov et al. ( 2018) research on the quality of
service facts and definitions for web applications[12], Huang
et al. ( 2018) are working on optimizing IoT connectivity and
providing quality service for Smart City[13] Sustainable city
governance and quality of Rodriguez et al. (2019) Urban
Heritage Facilities[14].
Smart Sustainable City implementation has significant
problems, such as the lack of good architecture[15], A simple
framework rather than complicated urban problems and
needs[16], Brilliant conducted[17] , and a lack of awareness
and understanding of sustainable cities[18]. Intelligent urban
actors both should not be involved and cooperated[19] loss
of interaction with the society[20].
But, in many countries, there is a substantial difference in
economy, economy, livelihoods, policies, social and cultural
factors, economic aspects, laws, geographical conditions,
issues of working, solution and environmental
problems [21],[22],[23] . Moreover, the Smart District IT
evaluation is required for recent and specific studies, which
vary significantly from smart cities.
In the past, the fourth district, especially in Madura,
Pamekasan, and Sumenep, was ready to develop smart cities.
One project is designed to create the intelligent mobile
reconstruction. This framework offers an overview of the
central communities and stakeholders for smart regeneration
projects. Some previous studies have found critical genetic
aspects[7] and strategic urban planning[6].
The purpose of this research is to confirm service levels
using mobile devices in areas or districts. The TOE frame is
the paradigm and approach used to describe the IT system's
service acceptance that incorporates technical, operational,
and supportive aspects. This paper describes a smart, mobile
district information system's output model. This report
suggested that local authorities and government authorities
focus more on critical issues that affect the quality of cellular
services.

Through the IoT Network, connectivity, and accessibility
between ICT and physical infrastructure can be connected
with realistic and operational services linked to cities and
social communities[26]. Many key factors, including
technology, organization, governance, public policies,
economies, working conditions, and infrastructure, affect
smart cities' performance. Intelligent city management will
take into account six key aspects: open governance,
innovative technologies, intelligent living, intelligent people,
and intelligent movement[27]. One of the famous intelligent

III. METHODOLOGY
This research has taken a quantitative and concise
approach. The goal is subject to different observations. The
quantitative information analysis evaluation process is
carried out. In this analysis, the main and secondary data are
used. Interviews and questionnaires on intelligent urban
stakeholders, particularly the public sector and the
population of Regencies from Sampang and Pamekasan,
gathered the key data. The questionnaire was compiled on a
five-point Likert scale, according to Venkatesh's analysis. A
group of 217 participants is used for this study. The Smart
Mobile Agency Platform is a Research Office for health
agencies, hospitals, public utilities, tourism, hotels, permits,
restaurants, municipal authority, and e-commerce services.
Questions are shared online and offline in direct interviews
with interviewees. Topics were discussed. Types. Types.

AMOS 24.0 software uses the method of path analysis
and structural equation modeling for data analysis. The study
outlines fourteen hypotheses of research using testing
methodology data collection experiments and discusses them
quantitatively.
IV. RESULT AND DISCUSSION
The validity test and reliability test were conducted only
after public and local government questionnaires were
obtained. To determine whether each question is factually
based, validity evaluations are conducted. In reliability
checks, the questionnaire may or may not be counted.
Different findings are obtained via a realistic and reliable
survey process. Convergent validity is used to measure
correlation values between indicator values simultaneously .
For this study, the validity test is used to determine the
accuracy of the process and then to verify its validity:
convergent evidence and biased validity tests. You will
deduce the exact value if the total load is > 0.5.
The findings of this study show that all calculated results
for latent variables are below 0.5 external load values. The
measurements are shown in the table II. The load is also
below 0.5 and is based on OR2, CP2, TPP3, TPP4, TPP5,
BI1, and BI3.
The results of the validity check are based on table III;
cross load value>0.5. Therefore, any latent variable is
discriminatory. Nevertheless, several variables under 0.5 are
also present, including PU, TMS, PoS, and BI.

When validity has been verified, reliability has been
checked. This test is used to measure the composite power.
The result is shown in Table IV. A good or reliable latent
variable may be considered if the test of reliability is higher
than 0.5. The variables are latent variables of PU, CAS,
TMS, RIO, and BI above 0,5 and are therefore considered
accurate. Nonetheless, the variables PoCU and POS are
under 0.5 and, therefore, not reliable.
A path analysis was used to determine the structural
model of AMOS. The CFA and the research background are
as described in Fig 4.
The conclusions can be seen based on the research

Based on Table V above, it shows that the six dimensions
in the TOE Framework model for the adoption of smart
regency services are Perceived Usefulness (PU), Readiness
in Organization (RIO), Top Management Support (TMS),
Concern about safety (CAS), Pressure of Citizen users
(PoCU), Pressure of Stakeholders (PoS), all of which have a
positive and significant effect on the Behavioral Intention
(BI) variable.
Final findings demonstrate that the six TOE system
hypotheses are Perceived Performance (PU), Organizational
Readiness (RIO), Top Management Assistance (TMS),
Security issues (CAS), Community Pressure (PoCU),
Stakeholder pressures (PoS). ), this tends to affect the
behavioral purpose (BI) component of mobile smart regency
services positively and significantly. This means that the six
independent variables are important and essential factors in
the adoption of wireless, smart district systems, by
stakeholders and community users of the smart regency
systems.
V. CONCLUSION & IMPLICATIO N
This research has two dimensions, mainly theory and
management. The model for testing variables that affect the
quality of service adoption in mobile smart districts was
theoretically created. This model can be further evaluated by
researchers interested in this topic in other contexts. The
survey provides recommendation s and suggestions for
practical management. This indicates that policymakers and
lawmakers pay greater attention to crucial issues impacting
their tasks to improve the efficacy of informed public
services.
Although this study has met its objectives, the research
still has some limits. Samples with different characteristic s of
the respondent are also unusual. Secondly, the performance
assessment model contains only fifteen development
variables. The framework can be extended with additional
variables for future study. The three experiments referred to
the crossing selection period with limitations. The collection
of data often can not be as accurate as retrospective data
collection to help and more accurately describe the situation.

... Several studies have identified the TOE framework as a model that provides the most holistic view of the contexts that impact organization's adoption of new technologies. The TOE framework has been used to understand users' adoption of innovations such as Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) (Kuan & Chau, 2001); Organizational adoption of web sites (Oliveira & Martins, 2011); E-Business (Zhu & Kraemer, 2005); cloud computing (Skafi et al., 2020); electronic health technology (Wang et al., 2022); the understanding of mobile service adoption in local districts (Umam et al., 2020); factors that influence the adoption of e-learning systems in a developing economy (Eze et al., 2020) and for modeling blockchain adoption challenges in food and agriculture supply chains (Mukherjee et al., 2022). The TOE framework has been chosen for this study because it is the most validated theory that has been employed by various researchers to understand the adoption of technology at the organizational level (Rogers, 2003). ...

Blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize the pharmaceutical industry to reduce costs, simplify operations, and improve patient outcomes. The purpose of this quantitative correlational-associative study is to assess if and to what degree the factors of technology adoption (Perceived Benefits, Perceived Complexity, and Perceived Compatibility) correlate to Intention to Adopt Blockchain for information systems executives in the United States pharmaceutical/biotech sector. The Technology, Organization and Environment (TOE) theory serves as the theoretical framework for this study. The study collected data from 134 consented pharmaceutical information systems executives in the US via an online survey (N = 134). The survey consisted of 18 questions to collect demographic data and measuring items for Perceived Benefits, Perceived Compatibility, Perceived Complexity, and Intention to adopt blockchain. The sampling methodology employed was convenience strategy, specifically to target information systems executives who have at least a basic understating of blockchain technology. Person’s Correlation analysis yielded the following significant results: Perceived Benefits/Intention to adopt blockchain (r(130) = .729, p < .001), Perceived Complexity/Intention to adopt blockchain (r(130) = -.445, p < .001), and Perceived Compatibility/Intention to adopt blockchain (r(130) = .674, p < .001). The findings provide insight into technology factors that significantly influence blockchain adoption by US pharmaceutical organizations.

Around 196 countries committed to become part of United Nation’s Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) through Paris Agreement and pledged to achieve carbon neutrality goals by 2050. The organizations have recognised the importance of digital technologies for achieving sustainable goals. To accelerate the transition to low-carbon energy systems, to best of author’s knowledge, this is the first attempt which addresses issues of BCT for decarbonization in logistics sector in developing economy using theories like TOE (technological, organizational and environmental) and IRT (Innovation resistance theory). A comprehensive literature review was undertaken using PRISMA to recognise the barriers linked to the blockchain technology adoption for reducing carbon emissions. To prioritize these barriers, inputs from ten experts belonging to different industry verticals and academics were taken. Ordinal Priority approach (OPA) is used to prioritise them. Further, the cause-and-effect relationship among the listed barriers is established using Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) technique. A real-life case illustration on Indian logistics company has been considered and the barrier intensity index is computed using Graph Theory Matrix approach (GTMA) for the case company. The results suggest that ‘Organizational Barriers’ are the most crucial category of barriers followed by ‘Environmental Barriers’. The results also show that the organizational barriers and environmental barriers belong to the cause group whereas technical and risk barriers are the part of the effect group. Based on the findings of GTMA, it has been observed that the overall barrier intensity index for the case company lies close to the centre of the worst and best theoretical values. The intensity index value will help case company to position themselves properly to formulate new strategies for secured and carbon neutral operations. Researchers and supply chain practitioners can devise new strategies and policies for achieving net zero goals by understanding the interplay between blockchain technology, organizational policies, and environmental outcomes. This research work can contribute to provide distinct perspective to look upon the BCT adoption issues in developing countries and can assist logistics industry stakeholders to plan and design new integrated BCT systems with carbon reduction initiatives.
... Organizational factors are evaluative criteria that can either facilitate or obstruct the incorporation of new ideas within an organization (Gui et al., 2020). The amount of organizational slack resources, the level of support from top management, the managerial structure, and the size of the organization are all examples of organizational characteristics that can be measured (Umam et al., 2020). The arena in which a company competes, the regulations that are in place, the access to resources that are provided by others, and the interactions that are held with the government are all examples of external environmental factors (Wulandari et al., 2020). ...

In today's world of global competition, every business must be able to maintain a competitive advantage in both goods and services. Because of the rapid spread of COVID-19 beginning in the year 2020, small and medium-sized enterprises or SMEs have attempted to improve the flow of communication with their customers using social customer relationship management. There is a lack of knowledge about how social CRM can be effective for SMEs during the COVID-19 outbreak to increase customer focus, despite the growing interest in the adoption of social media by corporations. Much less is known about the factors that impact SME decisions to adopt social CRM and the impact that these factors have on competitive advantage in the event of the COVID-19 outbreak. Accordingly, the authors aim to conduct an empirical investigation into the role that social media can play, which has a significant impact on the management of customer relationships in SMEs.

Many e-Government studies have devised different ways to measure how ready a smart city is to use ICT. But many research notes show that the conceptual readiness framework is hard for e-Government researchers to understand. These challenges have included a lack of a scientifically valid model framework and readiness models for village and suburban areas, which have been common in numerous developing countries like Indonesia. This study aims to use a readiness model from Parasuraman's (2015) Technology Readiness Index 2.0 (TRI 2.0) framework to determine how ready Sub Urban areas in Indonesia are. By looking at how the mobile-based Smart Regency services were used, the TRI 2.0 framework was changed so that it could be used to measure suburban areas in Sumenep and Pamekasan Regencies, Madura Island Districts. A random, stratified, and purposeful sampling method was used to get information from 148 service users and smart city stakeholders. Analysis of data using SmartPLS 3.2 software and structural equation modeling indicated that the four TRI 2.0 model aspects, namely Innovativeness (5,669), Optimism (3,813), Discomfort (7,033), and Insecurity(7,096), all of these have significant effects on Smart Regency Readiness. This research provides a scientific contribution by adapting the TRI 2.0 model in Sub Urban in Indonesia, which is still rarely studied. This research makes a practical contribution by recommending that smart regency stakeholders pay close attention to important factors that affect how ready smart regency development is in underdeveloped countries, especially Indonesia.
... On Madura Island, mobile-based services like the Pamekasan Smart and Sym apps have been used as part of a number of Smart Regency development projects.

The high failure rate of e-Government implementation in developing countries was the impetus for researching the factors influencing success. Exploring CSFs is crucial to avoid failures. However, e-Government implementation is not simple. E-Government is more than simply introducing web-based technologies to government, but it is a complex social system that addresses the most pressing social issues. Several researchers have explored Critical Success Factors (CSF) for e-Government implementation successful but have not found satisfactory results. Based on the literature search, there are still very few studies exploring CSF and describing the relationship among critical factors that determine the success of e-Government in developing countries, including Indonesia. This research aims to understand the relationship of inter-sub element linkage from the factors that determine the success of Smart Regency, a concept for implementing e-Government in Sub Urban areas in Indonesia. The method used is the Interpretive Structural Model (ISM) approach, a form of ranking elements introduced by J. Warfield based on the relationship between elements. The research was conducted by expert judgment on the relationship between 11 elements that influence the success of a smart regency. The results show that the top three elements' most significant factor was the Open Government Data element (level 1), followed by the E-Service Adoption, Public-Private Partnership (Level 2) element. This research contributes in two ways. The first is theoretically by providing scientific contributions to the relationship between factors that influence the success of smart districts based on the ISM perspective, and practical contributions by providing recommendations to local governments and stakeholders to pay more attention to the factors that build smart regencies.

Enterprise Architecture (EA) has become a necessity for organizations to address their business, data, infrastructure, and information systems. EA deployment in the government sector (e-government) is seen crucial for enhancing the effectiveness of electronic-based service delivery. Unfortunately, there are some crucial challenges to the fundamental requirements of EA in the e-Government sector. There are still partially implemented, lack understanding of technological advances, lack of understanding architectural framework usability, does not have good documentation, and slow service. There is no certainty of normative standardization for operating procedures. Several studies have been conducted to solve these problems. However, its steps are not articulated systematically, nor are the requirements for designing an enterprise architecture for e-government described. This study aims to employ EA for Smart Regency, the unique characteristics of suburban areas in Indonesia. This research conducted Zachman Framework (ZF) as Enterprise Architecture Planning (EAP) methodology. This research has produced the Mapping of EA Model, EA List and Classification of Critical Success Factor, EA Model of Hierarchy Enabling factors, EA Value Chain, and EA Business Process Modeling from Smart Regency Development. This research contributes to exploring and selecting the appropriate e-Government EA framework for Smart Regency service architecture in Indonesia. It helps local government and stakeholders to attend to more crucial factors in developing Smart Regency EA.

This research explores the acceptance of BlockChain Technology (BCT) in Banking services. BCT has changed from traditional centralised system to decentralized ledger which is a total 360 degree change .Adoption of BCT is a challenge and hence this research scrutinies the adoption of BCT using the Technology-Organization-Environment framework theory. The study highlighted that blockchain technologies hold the potential to store tempered proof data, i.e. append-only database and consensus-based on a distributed ledger system. For blockchain technologies to become the foundation stone for banking and financial services, an understanding of BCT adoption in Indian banks is essential. Therefore, the researcher explored the antecedents of BCT adoption and its outcomes. This study investigated Information Technology officers, bank managers and bank employees of banks in India about BCT adoption through a structured questionnaire. Data collected was analyzed using the PLS-SEM. In conclusion, BCT infrastructure, BCT knowledge, relative advantage, transaction cost, perceived security, organizational scope, consumer readiness, competitive pressure, government policies and bank partner readiness are the factors that affect the Blockchain technology adoption. This study provides valuable insights into bank managers/employees and technology vendors. It also gives suggestions to government officials involved in the 'Digital India' initiative of Government of India (GoI).

Social commerce is becoming an important hub for product sourcing, which helps companies to connect with customers and to gain competitive advantages. However, very little empirical research that focuses on small-and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) has been conducted to date. This study examines factors that affect social commerce adoption by SMEs. Using the Technology-Organisation-Environment (TOE) as the theoretical framework, the researchers tested the model and related hypotheses, employing structural equation modelling. The results from a survey of 181 SMEs in Saudi Arabia indicate that trading partner pressure in the environmental context, followed by top management support in the organisational context, and perceived usefulness in the technological context, have the most significant influence on behavioural intention to use social commerce. The research contributions and conclusion as well as limitations and future research directions are presented.

This research paper describes an integrated framework based on both the ‘Technology–Organization–Environment (TOE) framework’ and ‘Diffusion of Innovation (DoI) theory’. The study explores the noteworthy factors and sub-factors which are pertinent for the adoption of cloud computing in the Ethiopian Higher Education (EHE) sector. The technology literature herein was based on technology adoption frameworks and theories which were studied in order to identify a set of factors and sub-factors relevant to cloud computing adoption. It resulted in conceptualizing an integrated TOE–DoI framework for cloud computing adoption in higher education at the university in Ethiopia and in developing its reliable measures. Accordingly, a quantitative study was done with a questionnaire survey comprising 500 respondents in connection with 4 factors (technological, organizational, environmental and socio-cultural). Consequently, the cloud computing adoption in Ethiopia was established using factors and concepts adopted from the study. It confirmed that the TOE–DoI approach to higher education in Ethiopia is authenticated. Thus, the four factors’ reliability statistics validated with a Cronbach’s alpha a = 0.739, 0.712, 0.761, 0.841, and Cronbach’s alpha ‘a’ based on standard items a = 0.740, 0.713, 0.762 and 0.842 for technology, organizational, environmental, and socio-cultural factors. This indicates that scaling the four aspects therein suggests profound evidence to determine a cloud computing adoption in EHE with TOE–DoI integration.

Despite the considerable benefits of CRM, there is a paucity of research considering CRM adoption stages (evaluation, adoption, and routinization). Thus, we developed a conceptual model using the technology-organisation-environment (TOE) framework to examine the antecedents that affect CRM adoption stages in firms. We used partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) with data from 277 firms to test the conceptual model. Data quality and integration, top management support and competitive pressure positively influence CRM evaluation. Technology competence, data quality and integration, top management support and CRM evaluation positively influence CRM adoption. However competitive pressure negatively affects CRM adoption. Finally, competitive pressure and CRM adoption positively influence CRM routinization. Interestingly, each included construct influences every CRM adoption stage differently.
