The church plays a crucial role in spreading Christian values and nurturing the growth of faith within its community. However, in the context of GPSI EFATA, there are several challenges in effectively conveying church information. These challenges include the unappealing presentation of physical congregation news, the accumulation of paper, and limited distribution of information. In order to address these issues, this research project utilizes the Design Thinking method to develop a smartphone-based application for congregational news. The Design Thinking method consists of five stages: empathy, definition, ideation, prototype, and testing. During the empathy stage, the needs of the congregation are identified, particularly the need for more accessible and engaging information. The ideation stage then generates a solution in the form of a smartphone application. This application includes various features such as notifications, prayer schedules, financial reports, photo galleries, and management profiles. A prototype of the application was developed to meet these needs and was subsequently tested using a questionnaire. The results of the testing indicated that the application had an easy-to-understand interface, adequate features, and received suggestions for improvement. Overall, this smartphone application offers a modern and efficient solution to the challenges of delivering information within churches. It enhances accessibility and improves the quality of communication with the congregation.                                         

Waste management is an important concern in efforts to maintain cleanliness and environmental sustainability. The Waste Bank has been proven to be an effective solution in managing waste with a sustainable approach. This research aims to implement a Waste Bank website as a means of information and waste data management in Pekelingan Village. The system development method used is the Waterfall method which consists of the stages of requirements analysis, system design, implementation, testing and maintenance. In the needs analysis stage, the needs of related parties are identified, such as the management of the Waste Bank and the community using the Waste Bank's services. System design includes designing a user interface and database structure to store waste transaction information, member data and financial reports. Website implementation involves developing web-based applications using PHP and MySQL technology. Testing is carried out to ensure that the website functions properly and meets requirements. The result of the implementation is a Waste Bank website that can be used to register members, record waste transactions, check balances, and manage waste data efficiently. With this website, it is hoped that the management of the Waste Bank in Pekelingan Village can be more organized and transparent. This case study can also be an example for other sub-districts in developing information technology-based Waste Banks to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of waste management.

The development of interactive education as learning in education generally has several influencing factors, such as teachers who teach experiencing difficulties in keeping up with developments in information technology, learning media support tools for teaching in institutions are still limited in their use, only a few teachers use information technology in learning media because they have the knowledge to apply it to the teaching process, then from the problems that occur, the objectives include this research, designing an application interface display concept as an innovation in the use of learning technology according to needs, then creating an augmented reality learning application about the solar system according to the design created, after knowing the objectives What will be carried out in this research is implementing the use of an augmented reality application for the solar system using the marker based tracking method, where there is 3D object scanning of each planetary object in the solar system, while testing the application on 50 students of SDN Kebon Jeruk 15 Pagi, both classes VI A and B uses the user acceptance model (UAT), from the explanation explained if it is analyzed it produces an augmented reality application that has been created regarding the Android-based solar system so that it can be concluded that the testing process can be categorized as good or not in terms of AR applications and 3D object marker flashcards for students at school.

This study explores the utilization of web technology for the attendance system at Kalisusu Village Office, Nabire, to address the inefficiencies and errors of the manual attendance system.

The utilization of information technology has increased the efficiency and effectiveness of business processes, particularly in the transportation sector. To facilitate users, PT.  Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) offers ticket booking services through the KAI Access smartphone application. However, this application has received considerable negative feedback regarding its usability, which jeopardizes its effectiveness, efficiency, and user experience. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the usability of the KAI Access application and identify areas needing improvement. The data collection method used is quantitative, following ISO 9241-11 standards, and involves several users to assess the three main aspects of usability: effectiveness, efficiency, and user satisfaction. The study's findings indicate that 40% of users experience difficulties in navigating and completing tasks within the application, highlighting issues with the interface design. The average time required to complete a task is 8 minutes,longer than similar applications, indicating a low level of application efficiency. User satisfaction is reflected by an average score of 3.2 out of 5, indicating a somewhat disrupted level of satisfaction. The analysis of the study results shows that the main issues lie in unclear navigation, incomplete information, unappealing visuals,and poor application performance. To improve the usability of the KAI Access application, it is recommended to make improvements in navigation design, provide clearer and more comprehensive information, refine the visual design, and optimize the application's workflow.

Abstract -  Corn plants are one of the plants that are easy to grow and relatively fast to get results but also a plant that is vulnerable to pests and diseases. The symptoms that arise require an expert or agricultural expert to be able to diagnose. Limited time and expert labor is one of the causes of delayed diagnosis, causing a decrease in farmers' yields. This is the basis for making this expert system by adopting knowledge from agricultural experts about the symptoms of corn disease using the Forward Chaining method. To support the research conducted, researchers used the Research and Development (R&D) research method and the design used the Object Oriented Programming (OOP) method using the Unified Modeling Language (UML). Software is built using the PHP programming language, MySQL as a database, and Bootstrap as an interface design with a web-based system.

Abstrak –  Penggunaan website sebagai identitas dari suatu perusahaan saat ini sudah umum dilakukan suatu organisasi atau lembaga. Klinik Pratama Dr Jo adalah salah satu perusahaan yang menggunakan website untuk memperjelas identitas perusahaan, disamping fungsi lainnya seperti fungsi pendaftaran online. Namun dari hasil analisa awal, tampilan website tidak memenuhi standard beberapa aturan desain yang ada, mulai dari pengambilan warna yang kurang menegaskan identitas, serta tidak terdapatnya kontras pada warna sehingga beberapa aktivitas juga menjadi sulit untuk dimengerti pengguna. Pengambilan data dari pengguna dengan metode System Usability Scale (SUS) diperoleh skor website 41,83 dengan grade F, rating poor, dan memiliki tingkat penerimaan not acceptable. Untuk itulah penelitian ini melakukan perancangan ulang desain aplikasi menggunakan metode User Centered Design, yaitu perancangan dengan mengutamakan pengguna sebagai pusat dari penelitian. Setelah dilakukan perancangan ulang, pengambilan data dengan metode SUS menghasilkan skor 88,16 dengan grade A dan rating excellent yang berarti bahwa aplikasi memiliki tingkat penerimaan yang baik atau acceptable.
