This is in accordance with one of the nawa related to technology or illiteracy, but also can be interpreted bhakti satya's visions, namely the strengthening of people's basic rights and social disruption brought about by the 4.0 technological as a lack of income to get digital access [5]. The inability of a revolution. Budgetary wastage will occur if we do not know the person to use technology that occurs due to deprivation of size of digital poverty in urban districts, especially if various public capabilities, namely the freedom to use ICT and freedom of services are in digital form, but not everyone who uses these public choice relating to the purpose of using ICT for passive or services understands digital.In this study, individual micro data active [6].Economic demand is a concept of demand that is from the 2015 and 2017 of National Socioeconomic Survey influenced by purchasing power, without purchasing power a districts/ cities in East Java was used which will be aggregated with Podes data for 2018. This is seen as strong enough to analyze requirement is not a demand. Purchasing power is affected by the factors affecting district/ city digital poverty in East Java. To consumer income, with inadequate income that demand can map the conditions of digital poverty, classifies districts/ cities into be canceled or reduced if the need is urgent. The demand or four quadrants as seen from digital poverty and economic poverty, purchasing power of ICT arises from consumer preferences. while to find out what factors influence digital poverty are carried To set consumer preferences, consumers must know the out testing the structural relationship between variables using the benefits and disadvantages (costs) of the ICT. Poverty circles ordinal logistic regression method.This study is analyze the condition of digital poverty along with the factors that influence it will occur if those who do not have access/ do not have the both from economic conditions, demographic conditions, and the purchasing power of ICT so that they will never have an ICT availability of infrastructure in districts/ cities in East Java. In demand and then will never know the benefits of the ICT, and addition, it is hoped that the analysis in this study will be able to so on.Therefore information in the economy is very provide consideration for policy makers in dealing with digital important because it relates to asymmetric information, poverty issues, especially pro-poor telecommunications namely the difference in information between one party and communication policies. another party in economic activity. One that affects Index Terms: Digital poverty index, economic poverty index, information asymmetry is technology, especially ICT. ICTs quadrant analysis, logit ordinal regression are needed to overcome assimetric information. Example of the use of technology in overcoming asymmetric information I. INTRODUCTION in agriculture, it is necessary to develop a production information system and an internet-based food commodity Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the market as food information from production to market so that digital era place more emphasis on the use of fixed there is no price distortion among producers and consumers. telephones, cellular telephones, and internet usage because Diagne, A., & Ly [7] conducting research with a sample of they are seen as technologies that are two-way 17 African countries and showing that digital poverty occurs communication [1].The use of ICTs is very important due to lack of access and use of ICT by households in certain especially in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 where there are geographical areas. This study also mentions that the level of massive changes to the way to produce, distribute and wealth and education is the dominant factor in reducing consume goods and services in more efficient ways [2, 3]. digital poverty. The social demographic conditions of a According to Alkire [4], poverty is multidimensional and person also influence the conditions of digital poverty. The depends on the perspectives and capacities of individuals social demographic conditions that are seen to influence who experience it.
