Design and Development of a Website-Based Donation System for Usable Goods in Gama Pinang Urban Village (RW 03 Area) Using the Prototype Method

Abstract

The donation of usable goods in RW 03 of Gama Pinang Village is still managed manually, which causes several problems such as difficulties in managing donation data, monitoring the availability of donated goods, managing donation information, and organizing the distribution process. This study aims to design and develop a website-based usable goods donation system for RW 03 so that the donation, data recording, and distribution processes can run more effectively and efficiently. The system development method used is the prototype method, which allows direct interaction between the developer and the user during the system refinement process. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and literature studies to obtain system requirements suited to the conditions of RW 03. The system was built using the Laravel framework, the PHP programming language, the MySQL database, and Bootstrap for the user interface. The results show that the developed system is able to integrate the management of donor data, donated goods data, recipient data, distribution data, as well as donation and distribution reports. The system also facilitates monitoring of the status of donated goods and the distribution process to recipients in need, making the donation process more efficient, transparent, and structured in supporting the social activities of the community in RW 03 of Gama Pinang Village.
