Abstract

A ‘super smart society’ is a core concept from Society 5.0 inspired by the Japanese Government which aims to develop both information and human-centered societies. Since the society, in general, is becoming increasingly digitized and technology connected- this study aims to define digital literacy as a new dimension in measuring the advertising literacy towards to one of the visual pollutants – fly posters. To represent the low-income society distribution, a total of 574 respondents from five (5) Public Housing Program (PHP) were selected. The study was guided by the combination of both media literacy theory and an advertising literacy model. Findings revealed that the low-income society are comprised of highly advertising literate individuals due to digital technological factors. The discussions of this study add on to the debate on how digital literacy and collaborative efforts can be crucial in developing an intelligent society, the ‘super smart society’, the Society 5.0.
