Penerapan Sistem Informasi dalam Pengelolaan Daerah Aliran Sungai di Hutan Pendidikan Gunung Walat

Abstract

Gunung Walat Education Forest (GWEF), as one of the forest areas with the special purpose for education, has been collecting hydrological datafor researches purposes. However, most of data and the research results are not organized well. Therefore, the information relatively slowly to retrieve and utilize by stakeholders and management as well. In relation to provide information faster, Watershed Management Information System is needed to be developed.This Information System will help the decision maker to decide the right policy for GWEF development. This research aims to design and build information systems data management of GWEF resources and environment based on watershed. The method used is the development analysis of information systems in order to produce an effective operating system based on the needs of the users using Microsoft Access and Visual Basic 6.0. The information system is named as The Hydrology Information System of Watershed Management (HIS-WM). The information system resulted from this research consists of six main menus, i.e GWEF profile, hydrology, soil erosion, sedimentation, mapping, calculation and data management. Each menu is connected each other to create user friendly operation. By this information system, searching hydrological and watershed data will be easier for users and all of the related stakeholders.
