This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of implementing an application-based water payment system as a strategy to reduce consumer arrears. Payment delinquency remains a significant challenge in the management of water utility services, often driven by low payment discipline, limited access to transaction channels, and the inefficiencies of conventional manual systems. Employing a quantitative approach, this research utilizes comparative data collected before and after the implementation of the digital payment application, supported by statistical analysis to measure changes in consumer payment compliance. The findings indicate that the adoption of an application-based payment system has a substantial positive impact on reducing arrears, as reflected in increased payment timeliness and a decline in the number of delinquent consumers. Features such as ease of access, automated notifications, and transparent billing information are proven to enhance consumer compliance behavior. These results underscore that the digitalization of payment systems can serve as an effective solution for improving operational efficiency and supporting the sustainability of water utility services.

One of the programs currently running is Self-Help housing stimulant assistance (BSPS) or commonly known as house renovation. To encourage and increase self-sufficiency in improving the quality of houses and building new houses, along with infrastructure, facilities and public utilities (PUPR Ministerial Regulation Number 07/PRT/M/2018). However, the implementation of this assistance program currently still uses conventional methods in collecting data, one of which is data on uninhabitable houses. Every country has a responsibility to fulfill the needs and rights of its citizens to adequate housing, either directly or indirectly. The current condition in Kendal Regency is that ownership of livable houses is still not affordable for some people, this is clearly seen by the existence of slum settlements even in big city areas. There are still many residents who do not have access to their rights to livable housing due to financial limitations. At the requirements engineering stage, the waterfall model is used with the application of a geographic information system. The results of system testing show that the system runs properly according to design.
