Community Service Implementation Of Natural Disaster Information Application At The Banjarnegara Disaster Management Agency
Abstrak
The development of information technology has a significant impact on individual and group performance. Technology is widely used as a tool for data processing, work, and exchange of information between parties, especially the public and the government. This technology is also used in the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of Banjarnegara Regency, especially in disseminating digital information about natural disasters. This is constrained by a problem, namely limited information sources related to the provision of information on disaster locations that can be accessed by the people of Banjarnegara Regency, which causes delays in the process of exchanging information between related parties and the community. This problem gave rise to an idea to overcome this problem by building an Android-based application to map natural disasters in Banjarnegara Regency using the React Native framework to create mobile applications. The system was developed to facilitate users and related parties disseminating and receiving information on disaster areas. The application development method uses the SDLC (Software Life Development Cycle) method with the waterfall model. The implementation of this research uses a qualitative research approach that is focused on application development. The results of this study are an Android-based natural disaster mapping application in Banjarnegara Regency. This research was successfully carried out based on the results of functional tests using the Black Box Test method and feedback from the research subjects, namely the Banjarnegara community using the Beta Test method.
