Abstract

Semeru Mount is one of the active volcanoes in Indonesia. Semeru had more than three big eruptions between December 2022 to February 2023. Residents living around Mount Semeru need a special application to support monitoring the condition of their area that can be accessed to get real-time information about events around their area to improve preparedness for natural disasters. Previously, this monitoring activity required significant resources, such as cost and labor. With these problems in mind, we propose an approach solution in the form of a mobile-based application design called “Town Watch,” as advanced to the previous approach with manual monitoring. Based on geotagging and crowdsourcing concepts with contributions from residents and volunteers. The design of the application was conducted using the Human-Centered Design methodology. This approach focuses on creating an application design that is efficient, easy to understand, and user-centered. The target users will initially be Brawijaya University students involved in community service projects in the Mount Semeru region. The design was evaluated through usability testing and USE Questionnaire, with the results reaching an impressive 92% fulfilment of user needs, thus categorized as an excellent solution and well accepted by users.
