Research Objectives "Mapping the Potential of Appropriate Technology for Small and
Medium Enterprises as an Effort to Improve the Capability of Technology Readiness in
Ponorogo District" is to describe the profile of small and medium enterprises (SMEs),

of technological readiness capability used for the production of SMEs divided into three
stages, basic (level 1 to level 3), medium (level 4 to level 6) and ready (Level 7 to With Level
9). By using teknometer is expected to provide basic information about mapping the potential
needs and the use of appropriate technology (TTG) both tools, processes and production
results in Ponorogo regency. SMEs in Ponorogo Regency are dominated in the field offood,
handicraft and textile fields. The SME food business unit still requires major government
intervention on production process issues. The majority ofSMEs business unit in the field of
food still use technology (tools) simple and potluck. The production process of SMEs
business still neglects the hygienic side of both the production and production. The results
of the evaluation and measurement of SME TK2T in Ponorogo District indicate that all
samples have passed measurements at level 1 to level 3. Less than 50% pass the middle level
ie level 4 to level 6, while less than 10% have passed the top level measurement , Which is
level 7 to level 9. This explains that the production of SMEs in Ponorogo Regency still need
government intervention both in the use of appropriate technology, as well as supporting
