Abstract: In 2019, according to TripAdvisor Bali is the top 5 favorite destinations in the world. Bali offers cultural and

natural tourism attraction as a unique characteristic. Many traditional villages tried to provide cultural and

unique tourism attractions to attract tourists to visit. The dorp with those characters is called a tourism village.

Many tourism villages in Bali do not have an application or information system to promote or even to manage

their resources yet. This research aims to develop a smart village application to help tourism village to manage

and promote their tourism resources. The smart village application development begins with requirements

analysis to gathering customer needs and the system specifications. Design the system architecture, the use

case diagram, and the database. The main features of the application are tourism attraction, art shop, culinary,

lodging, and event. Users of the application are the admin village, the owners of tourism resources, and guests.

This web-based application can provide the ability to manage and promote its tourism products. Information

about the tourism village included the location also prepared before the tourists visiting the dorp.

1 INTRODUCTION

In 2019, according to TripAdvisor Bali is the top 5

popular destinations in the world. Bali offers cultural

and natural tourism attraction as a unique

characteristic. The provincial government of Bali has

taken steps to maintain Bali as a favorite tourism

destination. One of the steps is by developing

Tourism Village. Since 2013, the government has

targeted the development of a hundred new tourism

villages. Tourism Village is a form of integration

between attractions, accommodations, and supporting

facilities that provided in the community structure

that integrates with the prevailing traditional

procedures. Like other areas in Indonesia, there is a

gap between well-developed tourism villages and the

poor one. Well developed tourism villages in Bali are

using Information and Communication Technology

(ICT) to promote their tourism potentials. The usage

of ICT so far just for promotion needs. It does not

include the management aspect yet. Empowering

tourism villages and promoting tourism potentials as

well, the use of ICT is necessary. The utilization of

ICT is needing to empowering tourism village is also

spelled out by Purnomo. He stated by taking

advantage of the ICT utilization the tourists can get

sufficient information about object tourism before

visiting.

The ICT utilization in the tourism villages

development field was also described by Choirunnisa,

in the case of tourism villages in Yogyakarta. This

research aims to design the architecture system, user

interface, use case diagram, and activity diagram of a

smart village application for tourism village. The

application is design to manage and also promote

tourism objects and accessible by computers and

smartphones.

2 RELATED WORKS

There are many studies and interpretations of the

smart village. According to Shukla, a smart village

should be interactive and multifunctional. It needs the

active participation of people in various activities. A

smart village is an integration of several modules

stored in a database that can access via smartphone or

tablet. Another definition of a smart village is an

innovation of sustainable planning approach at the

village level that promotes knowledge-based

development through the continuous learning of

human resources as an integrative part of village

resource development, especially in encouraging

rural areas development as a part of the regional

system in the context of national development

planning system. The objective of rural development

in Indonesia is to encourage rural development in

smartness manner known as the smart village with

respecting the existing diversity values of each village

One of the characteristics of a smart village is the

usage of ICT to manage and promote the village

resources. The development of smart village

application has been carried out by many researchers.

Marlintha had designed and implemented a smart

village mapping Geographic Information System of

the Cinunuk village. GIS has been used extensively

in developing a smart village application. Afnarius

has developed GIS for buildings in the customary

village of the Minangkabau Koto Gadang West

Sumatera Indonesia. Information Technology is one

important factor to support and promote the potential

of village tourism. An application of geoinformatics

for smart village creation has been conducted by

Prakash R, a case study of Vishnupuri village in

eastern Maharashtra, India.

3 METHODOLOGY

According to the Bali Government Tourism Office,

there are 155 tourism villages in Bali. Less than fifty

percent of those villages had an application or

information system to manage and promote the

village resources.

This research aims to design an able application

used widely by tourism villages. The methodology of

this research consists of requirements analysis,

design, implementation, and testing.

3.1 Requirements Analysis

To meet the user needs, we need to communicate the

basic need of the user. Good communication can give

sufficient information to develop an application that

can meet customer objectives. Requirement analysis

took place at the very beginning of the development

process. There are three types of requirements:

customer requirements, functional requirements, and

performance requirements.

1. Customer requirements: Define system

expectations based on certainty facts, and

assumptions. Table 1 shows the business processes of

the tourism village.

Understanding the customer wants it done by

conduct a survey of several tourism villages in Bali.

In this research, there are several certainty facts can

be concluded during the communication with the user

and observation during the requirements gathering

process. Table 1 shows the business processes of a

tourism village. The data as gathered in, the business

process, and the characteristic of villagers in a

tourism village. The villager characteristics are also

important things to define user requirements. The

villagers of the tourism village have various

educational backgrounds and ages. As we observed in

the survey area, most of them can communicate in

English. They also have a strong will to encourage

themselves to achieve a better income.

Several assumptions are made to make the

application constraints. Based on the survey’s result,

several parties are directly involved with the

application. We named it as a potential user. We

defined three users, which are the village’s

government (admin village), villagers (owners of

tourism potencies), and guests (tourists). The system

design for computers and Android smartphones or

tablets use.

2. Functional requirements: is used to describes

inputs, outputs, and system behaviors. Based on

Table 1, the system functionality is created. The

system functionality has to be able to manage

culinary, art shop, guest house/ homestay, tourism

attraction, and to manage the village’s events as well.

3. Performance requirements: are the degree to

which missions or functions are required. The

performance requirements of an application are

determined by the speed of data entry, data

transferring, and processing. When we develop a

smart village application, we must define which

features of the application that needs speedy

transferring and processing. The application is

designed to be able to provide information to the

iCAST-ES 2021 - International Conference on Applied Science and Technology on Engineering Science

tourist quickly. The database must be made

effectively and efficiently to provide information

faster.

3.2 Design

1. System Architecture: The smart village application

provides services to users. The services must be

accessible to all users using various devices, such as

computers or laptops, smartphones, and tablets. The

system architecture is described in Figure 1.

Figure 1: System architecture.

2. Use Case Diagram: To model the system

requirements we used use case diagrams. The steps to

build a use case diagram are identify the actors and

the relationship of each actor, identify use cases, and

the relationship between use cases. The actors from

the result of requirement analysis are village admin,

owners dan guests. The uses cases of the system are

derived based on Table 1. The system functionality

spelled out into use cases. There are five business

processes will be developed. They are culinary, art

shop, Lodging/guest host, tourist attraction, and

village event. The culinary, art shop and tourist

attractions have similar main processes. The basic

idea of the village event is to promote the cultural

event, which is they need no ticket to watch the event.

The lodging has different main processes, which are

renting and booking rooms. Therefore we designed

the use cases are the same for similar business

processes. Figure 2 describes the use case diagram of

the application. The main business process is broken

down into several use cases using extend relations.

Two main use cases of each business process are

"add" and "find" functions. Users can add and find the

data or information they need.

Figure 3 shows the guest use case diagram of the

smart village application. The sub-use cases are

review and ticket order. The guest needs to register

first before reviewing the products to avoid

unappropriated reviews from anonyms. The users’

review can give much information to the owners and

admin village to improve the services.

3. The Database: A good design of the database can

enhance the ability of the application to run fastly. Fig

4 shows the relational tables of the database of the

application. Each main process of Table 1 is mapped

in tables in the database. Lodging, art shop, culinary,

tour, and event, and other tables are created to

accommodate the data.

3.3 Implementation and Testing

The design that had conducted in the previous

becomes a reference and guidance to develop the

application. The development of the application using

the following programming languages:

• Front end web using HTML, CSS, and

Javascript with vue.js framework.

• Web services using PHP with SLIM

framework

• Database using MySQL version 5.0.12

Application testing we used black-box testing.

The tester only knows the input and the required

output of the testing. Black-box testing is focused on

the testing of functionality of the software

application. We ran testing for more than 48 testing

units. Each testing unit can consist of more than one

scenario. Table 2 shows the result of black-box

testing of the login unit the application. Table 2 shows

the test result of black-box testing of the login unit of

the application.

4 RESULT AND DISCUSSION

The smart village application to manage and promote

the potencies of tourist village consists of several

main menu or features. Each potential business

process is made the form application feature.

The application has six features: village profile,

tourism object, lodging, art shop, culinary, and

events. Each feature has geotagging to give directions

to the guests. Figure 5 shows the homepage of the

application.

the related works, but it also can manage and promote

the tourism objects. The application can

accommodate the basic need to manage many tourism

objects owned by villagers.

5 CONCLUSION

The smart village application design begins with

requirements analysis to gathering customer needs

and system specifications. The design process

consists of designing system architecture, making the

use case diagram and relational table also conducted

in the design process. Implementation of the

application is using HTML, CSS, and Javascript for

front end web, PHP for web services, and MySQL for

the application database. Users of the application are

owner, village admin, and guest (tourist). The

application can manage and promote the tourism

potential of the village as well. The application is a

web-based application only. A mobile smart village

application can be developed with a payment gateway

feature for future works.
