Author: Joyce Erika S. Senaris

ABSTRACT

The study was conducted to implement a comprehensive management system for the barangay that serves the officials and the citizens. Specifically, it aimed to provide the features starting from its simple transactions such as posting news and announcements, presenting barangay projects and achievements, promoting business and other commercial establishments within the barangay, up to its complex service of managing barangay citizen’s complaints, providing barangay certifications and other necessary transactions forms efficiently, and a comprehensive view of the barangay transactions and services through a dashboard that displays its transaction logs and reports.

The barangay management system used the agile development model, depicting iterative development phases. It ensured that the program was improved after each testing procedure, which enabled simultaneous production and execution in an overall planned setting. The system was developed using web development tools such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and MySQL. Consequently, the developed system was tested and evaluated using the ISO 25010 evaluation instrument.

Ten selected IT experts tested the barangay management in terms of functional suitability, usability, reliability, security, maintainability, portability, and performance efficiency with a weighted mean of 4.59, interpreted as excellent. Furthermore, its usability was evaluated by 70 users, particularly the officials and residents of the barangay, in terms of appropriateness recognizability, learnability, operability, user error protection, user interface aesthetics, and accessibility, with a weighted mean of 4.73, also interpreted as excellent.
