Abstract

The network of internet
technology has been active in Indonesia since
1990, and its use has grown rapidly to the present
time. However the use of the internet is still
unevenly distributed due to difficulty of access,
with preference given to urban areas with good
resources and where the inhabitants have a
working knowledge of internet technology. The
rural areas, however, do not have sufficient
internet access to allow its full use, and there is a
gender gap with men frequently having better
access to technology than do women. Technology
is uncommon for women but more common for
the domain of men, for example, in the workrelated

areas of engineering, weapons, or
technology. The town of Batu Merah in Ambon
City is one of the most populated towns in
Indonesia, with more than 113 thousand people
living there since the end of the Ambon conflict.
The study looks into the use of the internet by
women in the village of Batu Merah. It was
carried out according to Mediatization and
Gender theories, using a qualitative research
method with a phenomenological approach. The
study showed that Ambonese women generally
have smart phones with full access to the
internet. The women use social media to
communicate with other parties
