Readiness Assessment Framework and Integrated Participatory Development Approach for Blockchain-Based Traceability Systems: Case Study in Kintamani Coffee Agroindustry Supply Chain

Abstract

Despite the promising prospects of blockchain technology, research remains primarily confined to the analysis-design phase, highlighting a gap in support for actual implementation. This study aims to develop a framework for assessing the implementation readiness of a blockchain-based traceability system, using the Kintamani coffee agroindustry as a case study. The research commenced with a structured literature analysis to create an assessment model and lay the groundwork for survey questionnaire distribution among potential users. Utilizing Kansei Engineering, the data were analyzed using quantification theory type I (QTT1) to identify the critical elements influencing users' adoption intentions. The findings led to the proposition of a new framework integrating the assessment model with the system development life cycle (SDLC). Analysis of 59 articles revealed that TAM, TOE, DOI, and TRI are the predominant theories used to assess blockchain technology adoption. The resulting assessment model comprises three contexts, two characteristics with 14 variables, and analyzed data showing individual characteristics-particularly elements OPT I, I NS3, and DIS I-as pivotal, evidenced by their high partial correlation coefficients of 0.92 108, 0.89 168, and 0.89 050, respectively. An integrated participatory development (IPD) approach was suggested to enhance system development and improve user quality of life, interaction, and communication effectiveness in the SDLC. This novel method proposed bolstering blockchain systems' real-world implementation success by adapting development iterations to user needs. It is anticipated to apply to other case studies, offering broader implications. Future research could explore different data analysis methods or case studies to enhance these findings through sensitivity comparisons and bias analysis.
