ABSTRACT:

The Internet and social media can be used strategically to make social
change. The paper examines leading environmental social movement
organizations in Indonesia by assessing their ICT landscape and by
examining the process of ICT-enablement based on a framework which has
been specifically develop to suit the current conditions in Indonesia.
Is Indonesia approaching a 'near-networked' nation? What does this imply
for the social movement organizations (SMOs or NGOs) that are trying to
organize both 'online' and 'off-line'? Will they have to master the move
from information-layer to knowledge management? What will be the role of
new media such as smartphones, social networks and a variety of open
source software?
