Abstract

The contact tracing system implemented in Indonesia is called SILACAK, a modified version of DHIS2. SILACAK as a contact tracing system platform created a dashboard following national guidelines, which is a tool to monitor the COVID-19 cases in Indonesia and support decision making. The role of SILACAK has throughout several journeys and some changes that can be implemented by several actors involved such as the developer team, government, health workers, and also society. To analyze the connection between all aspects that affect the SILACAK system, A framework is needed to deeply review which can be a historical artifact on the system. Actor- network theory (ANT) is the best practice to know about how networks come into being, to trace what associations exist, how they move, how actors are enrolled into a network, how parts of a network form a whole network and how networks achieve temporary stability.
