Information system development for taodam forest conservation and education network
Abstract:
The objective of this research was to develop a web application information
system for Taodam Forest Network so members can input Taodam Forest data and
users can search for data using the internet. The system was developed by using a
Structure Analysis and Design approach together with a System Prototype method.
Dreamweaver UltraDev was used to aid ASP, VBScript and HTML in developing the
web application while Access2000 was used to build the system database.
Users of this system were classified into 3 levels: 1) administrators, 2)
members and 3) general users. Because the information is arranged in a database
accessible by web applications, it is easy for members to input data, for administrators
to edit and update data and for users to search for required information. Taodam
Forest Network members can therefore disseminate news and share knowledge and
experiences so they can communicate in cyberspace.
The system was evaluated by four database administrators and thirty-six users.
Most of them scored features similarly, between a medium to good level. This result
may have been caused by the incompleteness of the development, because the system
was a prototype and so some modules had not been finished.
This research recommends: 1) developing the system to a fully functioning
system, 2) developing virus protection, 3) including searches by thumbnail image
index, 4) making the system easier to use, 5) creating a backup plan for the system, 6)
inserting more data into the database and 7) using more multimedia in the web
application.
