Abstract

Technological sophistication accompanied by fast access to information makes it easy for the public to know all information. The limits of the information obtained can no longer be controlled. This phenomenon has an influence on knowledge of traditional culture which is increasingly faded and eroded by modernization. On the other hand, the existence of technology can be utilized to preserve local wisdom information. This paper aims to explain the role of information technology in supporting cultural literacy and to explain database design for local wisdom information, especially in Minangkabau customs and culture. This research employed research and system design using an information system development model called the Database Application Lifecycle which includes: investigation, analysis, design, implementation, and maintenance. The main data was the information elements about Minangkabau in the newspaper. The results of the study revealed the following issues. First, technology does not always have negative impacts on traditional cultural knowledge. The wise use of information technology can actually maintain local wisdom information which is a major part of traditional culture. Second, there are efforts to preserve local wisdom in traditional culture, one of which is by utilizing information technology through database creation. The database design explains the information system content which is the result of the transformation of information media in the form of newspaper articles about Minangkabau. Through this research, it can be concluded that information technology through access to databases can be utilized to support public cultural literacy.
