Introduction: This study develops an information system aimed at helping students locate appropriate boarding houses, tackling the shortcomings of conventional approaches that depend on recommendations from local residents or peers. Frequent challenges, such as restricted access, erroneous data, and unfulfilled anticipations, underscore the necessity for an efficient resolution. The system is designed to deliver thorough and current information regarding available accommodations, thereby improving accessibility and facilitating informed decision-making for students.
Methods: The study utilizes the waterfall model, which includes four distinct phases: analysis, design, coding, and testing. In the analysis phase, user requirements were discerned through surveys and interviews, yielding valuable insights into the particular needs of students. The design phase encompassed the development of system architecture and prototypes for user-friendly interfaces, with a strong emphasis on accessibility and functionality. The coding phase executed the system, converting designs into a working web-based platform. The testing process included thorough validation conducted by media professionals and users to evaluate usability and effectiveness.
Results: The validation from media experts resulted in a score of 0.88, indicating that the system is classified as "meeting standards" in terms of technical design and functionality. The evaluations conducted by users resulted in a score of 90.1, which is classified as "highly feasible," indicating a strong level of satisfaction and usability. The findings validate the system's capability to streamline the boarding houses search process.
Conclusions: Essential elements encompass comprehensive room descriptions, current availability, pricing details, and location mapping, providing students with a dependable and effective resource to obtain accommodations that meet their requirements. By minimizing the time and effort needed to locate boarding houses, the system improves user satisfaction and fosters a more fluid academic experience.
