Abstract
The purpose of this research is to develop a new model by integrating the impact and readiness of the model that has been done before. The steps are taken a start from adopting, combining and adapting the previous model, namely by identifying the impact of ICT readiness in the countryside. The researchers developed the model based on the input-process-output logic and the processional and causal model of the IS impact models. This study has identified 9 variables and 45 indicators that have a relationship between impact and readiness. The findings of this study are the limited number of human resources who control ICT, the inequality of networks, the adequacy of institutional needs and the existence of budget support from authorized institutions and information systems that have not accommodated all service needs and have not been implemented in all villages. The conclusion of this study is combination model by integrating four preparedness model variables and five variables from the success model. In addition to the development process, clarity of coherent relationships between models, variables, indicators, and questions from each indicator are also presented in this study. However, the model development study may have limited to the used assumption set and understanding of the researchers, it may contribute theoretically, in terms of a new model proposition.
