d manually, resulting in ineffective data management and limited public access to accurate information. This study aims to design and develop a web-based Geographic Information System (Web-GIS) for road conditions in Muara Bulian. The study employed a descriptive qualitative method using observation, interviews, documentation, and literature review for data collection. The system was developed using the Waterfall model, consisting of requirements analysis, system design, implementation, and testing. The application was developed using Python and the Flask framework, with SQLite as the database and Leaflet.js and QGIS to support interactive map visualization. The results show that the system can display road condition information through interactive digital maps, provide road location search and detailed information, support basemap switching, facilitate road data management, and generate reports. Black Box Testing confirmed that all system functions operated according to the specified requirements. The Web-GIS is expected to support the government in managing road infrastructure data and facilitate public access to road condition information effectively and efficiently.
Abstract:The rapid growth of electronic transactions necessitates systems capable of monitoring seller quality and reputation across marketplace platforms. This study aims to design and implement a seller referral system on a Laravel…
avel 13 based e-commerce platform integrated with performance monitoring and seller accountability mechanisms. Built using the Prototype model encompassing communication, planning, modeling, prototyping, and deployment phases the system utilizes MySQL for database management. Registered sellers can distribute unique referral codes to prospective sellers, with the system automatically recording these relationships to enable structured tracking of activities, product counts, store ratings, and access status of referred sellers. Functional testing conducted via a black-box approach demonstrated that the authentication, referral registration, dashboard, monitoring, order management, and store settings modules operated strictly according to specifications, achieving a 100% test case pass rate. The primary contribution of this research lies in shifting the referral paradigm from simple user acquisition to a peer-accountability framework that holds referring sellers responsible for the performance of their recruits, thereby mitigating the presence of unreliable sellers and fostering greater trust in the online shopping environment.
Abstract:Advances in information technology have driven digital transformation across many sectors, including education. One administrative service that is still largely handled conventionally is the announcement of student graduation…
ation results and the distribution of Graduation Certificates (Surat Keterangan Lulus/SKL), which makes the delivery of information relatively inefficient. This study aims to build a web-based Student Graduation Information System for vocational high schools (SMK) that simplifies graduation-data management for school administrators and gives students online access to their graduation information. The system was built using the Waterfall method, covering requirements analysis, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance, and was implemented with the Laravel framework, the PHP programming language, a MySQL database, and a Bootstrap interface. It serves two types of users: administrators, who manage graduation data, and students, who can check their graduation status without logging in by entering their National Student Identification Number (NISN). Students who pass can download their SKL directly in PDF format. The system was evaluated through Black Box Testing and the System Usability Scale (SUS). Testing showed that every system function operated as intended, while the usability evaluation returned an average SUS score of 84.5, placing it in the Excellent (Grade A) category. Overall, the system improves the efficiency of school administration, speeds up the delivery of graduation information, and supports the broader digitalization of educational services.
Abstract:The reliability of data packet transmission within the deployed Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) security protocol is highly crucial to ensure user data confidentiality. This study aims to analyze the security implementation…
tation of the WPA2-Personal protocol-based WLAN through direct observation of data packet traffic. A qualitative-descriptive research method was applied by conducting packet capturing using the Wireshark application on a small-scale test network utilizing a smartphone as an access point and a laptop as a client. The results demonstrate that all local and internet data communication activities operated stably and were recorded consistently. Packet analysis successfully identified various major protocols, including ARP, DNS, TCP, UDP, TLS, and HTTPS. The implementation of TLS encryption on HTTPS traffic proved capable of protecting the confidentiality of application data content, preventing it from being read in plaintext even though the packets were successfully captured. This study concludes that the combination of WPA2-Personal authentication and the HTTPS communication protocol still provides adequate security protection and remains highly viable for small-scale wireless network environments.

Abstract:Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis strategi pengembangan pasar yang diterapkan dalam mengatasi stagnasi kunjungan wisatawan (di bawah 50.000 pengunjung per tahun) akibat kejenuhan pasar pada objek wisata religi…
Patung Yesus Buntu Burake di Tana Toraja. Industri pariwisata religi di Indonesia memiliki potensi besar, namun banyak destinasi menghadapi tantangan dalam mempertahankan dan meningkatkan jumlah kunjungan akibat persaingan yang semakin ketat dan perubahan perilaku konsumen. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi langsung, dan dokumentasi. Informan penelitian terdiri atas pengelola objek wisata (Dinas Pariwisata) dan wisatawan yang dipilih secara purposive. Analisis data menggunakan model interaktif Miles dan Huberman yang meliputi reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa strategi pengembangan pasar saat ini masih berada pada fase transisi dan belum berjalan secara optimal. Promosi destinasi masih sangat didominasi oleh konten organik (word-of-mouth digital) yang diunggah secara sukarela oleh pengunjung melalui media sosial visual seperti TikTok dan Instagram, sedangkan iklan resmi berbayar dan kemitraan strategis dengan biro perjalanan berskala besar masih sangat minim. Selain itu, ditemukan adanya kesenjangan antara daya tarik utama objek wisata yang dinilai sangat memuaskan dengan kualitas infrastruktur layanan pendukung yang masih memerlukan standardisasi, meliputi aksesibilitas jalan, kebersihan toilet, keterbatasan tempat sampah, serta minimnya fasilitas ramah muslim (muslim-friendly) khususnya kepastian kuliner halal. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa strategi pengembangan pasar memerlukan peralihan pendekatan dari promosi pasif menjadi pemasaran digital berbayar yang terstruktur, perluasan segmen pasar geografis dan demografis, serta peningkatan kualitas fasilitas operasional demi menciptakan kepuasan pengunjung yang berkelanjutan.
This study aims to analyze the market development strategy implemented to overcome the stagnation of tourist visits (under 50,000 visitors per year) caused by market saturation at the religious tourism object of the Jesus Statue Buntu Burake in Tana Toraja. The religious tourism industry in Indonesia has great potential, yet many destinations face challenges in maintaining and increasing visitor numbers due to increasingly intense competition and changing consumer behavior. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation. Research informants consisted of tourism site managers (Tourism Office) and tourists selected purposively. Data analysis used the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the current market development strategy is still in a transitional phase and has not operated optimally. Destination promotion is still heavily dominated by organic content (digital word-of-mouth) voluntarily uploaded by visitors on visual social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram, while official paid advertisements and strategic partnerships with large-scale travel agencies remain highly limited. Furthermore, the study identifies a gap between the core attraction, which is rated highly satisfying, and the quality of supporting service infrastructure that still requires standardization, including road accessibility, toilet cleanliness, availability of trash bins, and the lack of Muslim-friendly facilities, particularly the certainty of halal culinary options. This study concludes that the market development strategy requires shifting from a passive promotion approach to a structured paid digital marketing campaign, expanding geographical and demographic market segments, and upgrading operational facilities to create sustainable visitor satisfaction.

The increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus and metabolic diseases among adolescents has become a critical public health concern. Unhealthy dietary habits and low physical activity are key risk factors contributing to elevated blood glucose levels and blood pressure from school age. This study aims to analyze the relationship between dietary habits and metabolic health conditions based on random blood glucose (RBG) levels and blood pressure among students at SMP Negeri 5 Sungai Kakap. Specifically, this study aims to determine the relationship between sugar consumption habits, random blood glucose levels, and blood pressure in students of SMP Negeri 5 Sungai Kakap. This analytical study utilized a cross-sectional design. The research samples consisted of whole blood biological fluids collected through purposive sampling from students at SMP Negeri 5 Sungai Kakap in July 2025. Data analysis using the chi-square test showed no significant relationship between glucose consumption habits and blood glucose levels (p=0.314; p>0.05). Similarly, there was no significant relationship between glucose consumption habits and blood pressure (p=0.419; p>0.05). In conclusion, there is no relationship between sugar consumption habits, random blood glucose levels, and blood pressure among students at SMP Negeri 5 Sungai Kakap. These findings indicate that although most students have normal metabolic health conditions, some adolescents remain at risk for metabolic disorders. Therefore, regular health screening, nutritional education, and the implementation of a healthy lifestyle must be conducted from adolescence as a preventive measure against metabolic diseases and to improve health status within the school environment.
