Abstract

Digital transformation plays a crucial role in enhancing community-based learning, especially in isolated coastal areas such as Rumah Baca Apung Rammang-Rammang in Maros Regency, South Sulawesi. This literacy hub faces various challenges, including limitations in catalog management, community participation, and awareness of clean and healthy living behaviors. This study aims to analyze the impact of integrating digital transformation and hygiene education on improving digital literacy, clean and healthy living behavior (PHBS), and technology acceptance among coastal communities. A quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was employed, involving 63 participants, consisting of five community library facilitators and fifty-eight local residents. The intervention included the implementation of a QR code–based digital catalog system and a PHBS campaign via social media. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed descriptively to measure changes before and after the intervention. The results indicated significant improvements across all three domains: digital literacy (112%), clean and healthy living behavior (102%), and technology acceptance (200%), particularly in perceived usefulness and behavioral intention. The study concludes that integrating digital technology with hygiene education effectively fosters behavioral and social transformation, strengthens community responsibility, and expands digital inclusion in coastal regions
