ANALYSIS OF TECHNOLOGY READINESS AND TECHNOLOGY ACCEPTANCE OF GEODESY STUDENT IN USING INA GEOPORTAL

Spatial information system has been widely used for a variety of spatial planning. The planning can be done on a google map. But, on google map, information is still limited. Indonesia has already a system similar to google maps called Ina Geoportal, which covers an area of Indonesia only.

While the inhibitors factors of insecurity and discomfort are also quite high, but do not affect to the technology acceptance. The effect of technology acceptance on the usage level of Ina geoportal is very low (5.1%). Based on this, Ina geoportal usage rate is not only influenced by the technology readiness and technology acceptance, but can also be caused by other factors, which are discussed in this paper.
