Assessing Amdalnet’s Role in Digitalizing Environmental Approval in Indonesia:An Information System Success Model Approach
Abstract
Amdalnet is a digital transformation for Indonesia’s environmental assessment process. It is very important for acceleration process, but there aren't many in-depth studies that look at how well it works. This study evaluates the efficacy of Amdalnet through the DeLone and McLean Information System Success Model, which includes six evaluative criteria: system quality, information quality, service quality, use, user satisfaction, and the net benefits derived from the system. A structured online survey with 125 participants, consultants, reviewers, and system administrators, utilized a five-point Likert scale for data collection. After that, Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to look at the data. The results showed that five of the eight hypotheses were supported by the empirical data. Both system quality and service quality significantly improved user satisfaction and use, and use was a strong predictor of net gains. On the other hand, the quality of the information didn't have much of an effect on how people used the system or how satisfied they were with it, and user satisfaction didn't have much of an effect on net benefits. These findings indicate that user engagement in mandatory digital platforms such as Amdalnet is predominantly driven by regulatory compliance requirements rather than the perceived advantages of the system. The study emphasizes the imperative for user-centric design in regulatory information systems to enhance both effectiveness and legitimacy in environmental governance. Policy implications are needed to improve the quality and legitimacy of Indonesia's environmental approval process during digital transformation.
