Technology

It is planned that the 7th census will be carried out using digital equipment, [2] no longer relying on paper. Head of BPS, Kecuk Suhariyanto said that the digital equipment in question included smartphone and web applications. The hope is that the equipment will help field enumerators who collect data, also make it easier for citizens who want to enter their own data.

In addition to smartphone applications, it is also developing web applications. The difference is, this application is intended directly to residents, so they can fill their own data without going through a field enumerator.
