The Information Needs and Media of Small Islands Society
Abstract: The purpose of the
study is to identify the needs and appropriate media for information services
regarding the management of freshwater and sanitation of small island community
in North Lombok. The data was collected using a questionnaire with the
households as respondents. The study then compared two samples i.e. the
community in the district of Lombok north and Kepulauan Seribu using
Kolmogorov-Smirnov technique. The community in both districts has similarities
and differences in the aspect of demographic, understanding, behaviors as well as
the information needs and the preferred media. The study concludes that the
community in Lombok Utara needs information about global warming and its effect
to the damage of freshwater and sanitation. The media information such as film
animation is necessary to be considered due to fact that people of the two
districts have a longer time on the land.
