Dwi Ardi Wicaksana Putra Introduction In our daily exercises during this pandemic, we truly need innovation and the web. Data innovation can work with the execution of work to accomplish ideal and greatest use . In this period of the Covid-19 pandemic, innovation is extremely useful, particularly for public Individuals are constantly encouraged to remain at home and breakpoint cooperations with others. To make taxpayer-supported organizations further developed, the job of the public authority from the key to provincial levels is particularly required . , . Egovernment is a mechanical advancement type that works to turn into a spotless government. E-Government is the place where people, in general, are served serenely openly benefit both as far as time, cost, and straightforwardness with the assistance of data framework innovation and broadcast communications . , . East Kotawaringin Regency made changes in public services to build community East Kotawaringin Appropriate Technology for Population and Administration of Tehang village that can be accessed by the community . The East Kotawaringin Regency Government utilizes the e-government system with the intention that all services to the community become easier and more transparent. Based on the description above, a study is essential to determine the community's acceptance level of technology of the village. This study examines factors that ease the use of village service information technology and the benefits derived from village service information technology in terms of attitudes, desires, and real behavior by adapting the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) . This study will recommend public services, especially village administration, needed by the community in East Kotawaringin in the era of the Covid 19 pandemic. Method Research Approach A quantitative methodology was utilized in this examination. Quantitative methodology refers to a methodology that utilizes numbers that are scored as the reason for the investigation. The handled information comes from test information taken from the populace, planned to see the discernments, mentalities, and conduct of the local area in utilizing innovation. This information can portray the data of every factor contemplated to decide the impact. The A Depi Rusda. Mustaqiem. Dwi Ardi Wicaksana Putra consequences of the survey were arranged and afterward demonstrated utilizing WarpPLS 7. and utilizing the PLS-SEM examination strategy. Respondent Villages located in the East Kotawaringin Regency with its capital Sampit are the objects of this study. The East Kotawaringin consists of 17 sub-districts, 17 sub-districts, and 165 Respondents in this study are people whose address is in the village. Online, 105 questionnaires were collected from 35 villages in 13 sub-districts. Data Collection Information was acquired through surveys conveyed on the web and semi-disconnected with the assistance of google structures. The inquiries are shut to get information about town innovation known to the respondents. The Linkert scale, which is evaluated from 1 to 5, is utilized to gauge replies. Research Design Perceptions of user convenience, perceptions of user benefits, user attitudes, behavioral intentions, and actual use are variables in the model, which adopts the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) . , . , . As seen in Figure 1: (Perceived Usefulnes. (Attitude Toward Use. (Behavioral Intentio. ATU (Actual Usag. erceived Ease of Us. PEU Figure 1. TAM Model Figure 1 above is a structural model, part of the SEM model (Structure Equation Mode. , which describes the form of the correlation relationship between latent variables and the research model . , . The purpose of testing the structural model is to find out what relationships exist in the variables that make up the model . , . A Depi Rusda. Mustaqiem. Dwi Ardi Wicaksana Putra The hypotheses obtained from the above model are: Ease of use (PEU) affects the usefulness (PU) User convenience (PEU) affects user attitudes (ATU) Usefulness (PU) affects user attitudes (ATU) Benefit (PU) affects Behavioral Intentions (BI) User Attitude (ATU) affects Behavioral Intentions (BI) Behavioral Intentions (BI) affect real behavior ((AU) Usefulness (PU) indirectly affects behavioral intentions (BI) through user attitudes (ATU) Ease (PEU) indirectly affects user attitudes (ATU) through usefulness (PU) Ease (PEU) indirectly affects behavioral intentions (BI) through user attitudes (ATU) Benefit (PU) indirectly affects real behavior (AU) through behavioral intentions (BI) User attitudes (ATU) indirectly affect real behavior (AU) through behavioral intentions (BI) Ease (PEU) indirectly affects real behavior (AU) through user attitudes (ATU) and behavioral intentions (BI) Ease (PEU) indirectly affects behavioral intentions (BI) through usefulness (PU) and user attitudes (ATU) Usefulness (PU) indirectly affects real behavior (AU) through user attitudes (ATU) and behavioral intentions (BI) Ease (PEU) indirectly affects real behavior (AU) through usefulness (PU), user attitudes (ATU), and behavioral intentions (BI). Data Analysis Information investigation was done on utilizing the Partial Least Square (PLS) technique by employing WarpPLS form 7 programming. PLS is a strategy for tackling Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). SEM has a significant level of adaptability in research that interfaces hypothesis and information and can perform way investigation with inert factors. Partial Least Square (PLS) is a fairly strong analytical method because it is not based on many assumptions. The data also does not have to be normally distributed multivariate . ndicators with categorical, ordinal, interval to ratio scales can be used in the same mode. , and the sample does not have to be large . A Depi Rusda. Mustaqiem. Dwi Ardi Wicaksana Putra Results and Discussion Result SEM-PLSM measurement model is usually called the outer model, in covariance-based SEM it is called confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Both are part of convergent validity . The estimation of the model is done to survey the unwavering quality and legitimacy, which is evaluated for the connection between the pointer and its inert factors. The utilization of build unwavering quality is to see Cronbach's Alpha (CA) or Composite Reliability (CR). Latent variables were analyzed with convergent validity . oading factor and AVE) and discriminant validity. Loading Factor (LV). Cronbach's Alpha (CA). Composite Reliability (CR).

Mustaqiem. Dwi Ardi Wicaksana Putra To see the external model . stimation mode. as per the arrangements of united legitimacy as an intelligent build, two standards were utilized, specifically . stacking > 0. critical p-esteem (<0. In Table 1, the LF section shows the stacking factor number with the development more prominent than 0. 7, and one might say that it meets the prerequisites to be estimated. In Table 1, the AVE section can likewise be seen the focalized legitimacy of the AVE as an incentive for each development> 0. 5, implying that the pointers are associated with the build. To analyze discriminant validity, you can pay attention to the results of the calculation of the correlation between latent variables. Discriminant validity is eligible if the average variance extracted (AVE) from the extracted average variance exceeds the correlation involving these variables . The average variance extracted (AVE) value is shown in Table 2 below: Table 2. AVE Value PEU ATU PEU 0,897 0,782 0,762 0,679 0,554 0,782 0,912 0,841 0,797 0,677 ATU 0,762 0,841 0,857 0,766 0,689 0,679 0,797 0,766 0,840 0,602 0,554 0,677 0,689 0,602 0,876 Table 2 shows that the AVE in the underlined column is larger than the other columns. PEU column = 0. 897 higher than PU. ATU. BI. AU. Column PU = 0. 912 higher than PEU. ATU. BI. AU. Column ATU = 0. 857 is higher than PEU. PU. BI. AU. BI column = 0. 840 higher than PEU. PU. ATU. AU. Column AU = 0. 876 higher than PEU. PU. ATU. BI. From the test results where the AVE is greater than the correlation between the latent variables, it shows that discriminant validity is met. Looking at CronbachAos Alpha or Composite Reliability can be used to measure construct Usually the Composite Reliability (CR) value tends to be greater than Cronbach's Alpha (CA) (Fornell and Larcker, 1. It can be seen in Table 1 that the value of Composite Realibility (CR) > from Composite Reliability (CR). In the PEU variable the value of CR = 0. while CA = 0. 939, the PU variable the value of CR = 0. 967 while CA = 0. 960, the ATU variable the value of CR = 0. 917 while CA = 0. BI variable CR = 0. 923 while CA = 0. AU variable CR = 0. 908 while CA = 0. A Depi Rusda. Mustaqiem. Dwi Ardi Wicaksana Putra The value of the validity and reliability of the measurement results of the model shows a good value. Figure 2. Model Fit Index Figure 2 shows the results of Average Path Coefficient (APC) = 0. Average R-squared (ARS) = 0. Average adjusted R-squared (AARS) = 0. 624 and all P values are less than 0. and Average block VIF (AVIF) = 3. Because the P-value is smaller than 0. 001 seen in the APC. ARS. AARS indicators, it is eligible. The value of AVIF = 3. 083 is worth less than 5, which means it is eligible. Figure 3. SEM-PLS .

Conclusion This study aimed to see the perceptions, attitudes, and behavior of the community in using village service information technology with the Technology Acceptance Model. Villages located in the East Kotawaringin Regency with its capital Sampit and the people whose addresses are in the village are the objects of the research. The outcomes showed that the factors of client comfort, seen helpfulness, mentalities, conduct goals, and genuine conduct had a positive and huge impact on innovation in the town. From the review results, 84. 8% of respondents realized that administrations in the town can utilize innovation, and 50. 5% had utilized innovation administrations at the town office. The exceptionally predominant administrations were those dependent on web-based media like WhatsApp. A town administration data framework should be created and acquainted with the local area and town authorities. The utilization of innovation in the town needs help, everything being equal, both neighborhood, sub-area and town states, and the local area. References
