eDonation Android Application for Used Goods Donation using Location-based Service

Abstract

Used goods/secondhand can be found anywhere during the buying cycle. Used goods are also can be reused and even still have value. Used goods such as books, clothes, bags, shoes that are still suitable for use, can also be donated to others needy. In the current technological development, many donations have been made online. This can provide donors and social institutions in raising donations. But the donations consist only of money and are not goods. In overcoming this, the eDonation apps can help donors in donating their used goods. This application also helps social institutions in raising broader donations. By utilizing location-based services, donors can find out the location of social institutions in the vicinity, so donors can choose the location of the nearest social institution that receives donations in the form of used goods that are suitable for use.
