Developing Agriculture Land Mapping using Rapid Application Development (RAD): A Case Study from Indonesia

The use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in agriculture has become one of the steps to improve agricultural efficiency, effectiveness, productivity, and also expected to encourage the creation of Precision Agriculture. Precision agriculture has an impact on the efficiency of operational costs to increase margins in the production of agricultural products using ICTs. One of the problems that often arise in agriculture is related to the management of agricultural land in each farmer group area. This information is closely related to the needs of agricultural production facilities and infrastructure, such as the need for fertilizers, seeds, and other resources. Web Mapping System is one of the systems to assist in land or area mapping. In this study, the Web Mapping System is expected to be used to help at agricultural land mapping, owned by farmer members of farmer groups. The developed system will store spatial data from farmland members and farmer groups. The Web Mapping System was developed using the Rapid Application Development (RAD) method, where there are several iterative processes. The result of this study is the Web Mapping System for agricultural land. With this application, farmers can find out the status of the land being cultivated or owned. In addition, the Web Mapping System can record the status of the existing land in a farmer group and the need for agricultural production facilities and infrastructure. Further, the Web Mapping System also provides information in a dashboard that can help farmer groups to manage the land owned by each farmer who is a member of the group.
