Development of Aceh biodiversity information system

Abstract

Aceh is rich in biodiversity, both flora, and fauna. Aceh’s biodiversity has not been well documented. This can be seen from the absence of an information system that is open to the public regarding biodiversity in Aceh. This study aims to develop a web-based Aceh Biodiversity Information System of Aceh Biodiversity. This Aceh Biodiversity Information System will collect data on biodiversity in Aceh from various parties, including researchers, academics, government, and the general public. The waterfall model as the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) model is used in the development of this information system. The System Usability Scale (SUS) is used to determine user opinions in using this information system as input for improvement. The results showed that this information system was good enough to accommodate the data collection process from various parties. Improvements to the existing features used in this information system need to be done. It is hoped that these Aceh Biodiversity Information System can be utilized as a data collector for the education, research, management, conservation, and other fields of a task, especially bioinformatics.
