Abstract


Abstrak 

Kajian ini bertujuan membangunkan kerangka konseptual bersepadu bagi pendigitalan sumber rujukan Adat Perpatih menerusi portal Pradakaps. Penyelidikan ini dilaksanakan bagi menangani isu sumber rujukan adat yang masih berselerak, banyak bergantung kepada tradisi lisan dan belum distrukturkan secara sistematik dalam persekitaran digital. Adat Perpatih sebagai sistem budaya matrilineal mengandungi pengetahuan tersirat yang meliputi sejarah, struktur sosial, kepimpinan adat, nilai budaya, perbilangan dan amalan komuniti. Keadaan ini menuntut proses pendigitalan yang tidak terhad kepada penyimpanan dokumen, sebaliknya perlu mengekalkan hubungan antara kandungan, konteks dan makna budaya. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan konseptual melalui sintesis Teori Pengetahuan Tersirat, Model Penciptaan Pengetahuan, pendekatan Sains Reka Bentuk dan Model Penerimaan Teknologi. Kerangka yang dicadangkan mengintegrasikan tiga dimensi utama, iaitu penstrukturan pengetahuan, pembangunan sistem digital dan penerimaan pengguna. Portal Pradakaps dikonsepsikan sebagai sistem pengetahuan digital yang menyokong pengelasan sumber, pemetaan hubungan semantik, pengesahan autoriti maklumat, interaksi pengguna dan penyampaian kandungan adat secara lebih mudah difahami. Kajian ini menyumbang kepada literatur pendigitalan warisan budaya dengan menawarkan model yang menghubungkan aspek epistemologi, teknologi dan sosial dalam satu kerangka bersepadu. Dari sudut praktikal, kerangka ini menyediakan asas kepada pembangunan portal rujukan adat yang lebih tersusun, sahih, inklusif dan lestari.

Abstract 

This study aims to develop an integrated conceptual framework for the digitalisation of Adat Perpatih reference sources through the Pradakaps portal. It addresses the issue of customary reference sources that remain scattered, strongly dependent on oral transmission, and insufficiently structured in a digital environment. As a matrilineal cultural system, Adat Perpatih embodies tacit knowledge related to history, social structure, customary leadership, cultural values, customary sayings, and community practices. This condition requires a digitalisation process that goes beyond document storage and preserves the relationship between content, context, and cultural meaning. This conceptual study synthesises Tacit Knowledge Theory, the Knowledge Creation Model, Design Science Research, and the Technology Acceptance Model. The proposed framework integrates three main dimensions: knowledge structuring, digital system development, and user acceptance. The Pradakaps portal is conceptualised as a digital knowledge system that supports resource classification, semantic mapping, source authority verification, user interaction, and more meaningful presentation of customary knowledge. The study contributes to the literature on digital cultural heritage by offering a model that links epistemological, technological, and social dimensions within an integrated framework. Practically, the framework provides a foundation for developing a more organised, credible, inclusive, and sustainable customary reference portal.
