Abstract

The development of the Internet of Things requires appropriate policies to use the capacities and solve its challenges. Governance is a policy-making function that increases the effectiveness of programs based on the participation of all actors. This research conducted with the aim of developing a governance model for the development of the Internet of Things in technological agriculture, using structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the research was 641 people active in agricultural technologies in the country, of which 314 people were surveyed by stratified random sampling method with proportional assignment. The data collection tool was a questionnaire whose form validity was obtained by surveying experts, convergent and divergent validity, and reliability by calculating variance extracted (AVE) and composite reliability (CR). The results showed that the Internet of Things plays an important role in the realization of sustainable agriculture by helping to improve product quality and optimal use of production resources, and the variables of production sustainability, transparency, foresight, law abiding and the development of infrastructure have the greatest impact in the designed governance model. The overall fit of the research model based on the GOF index was equal to 0.586, which indicates the desirability of the designed model.
