Rancang Bangun Aplikasi Panduan Pariwisata Kota Yogyakarta Berbasis Android

Abstract

In the Information Technology era, the internet plays a vital role in disseminating information. However, information on tourist attractions in Yogyakarta remains insufficient, leaving many tourists unaware of several sites with significant potential. This research aims to design and develop an Android-based travel guide application that provides comprehensive information on tourist attractions and local culinary options in Yogyakarta. The study addresses the limited access to detailed and accessible information for tourists in Yogyakarta, alongside the growing use of mobile devices as travel aids. The System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) methodology was used, encompassing planning, analysis, design, implementation, and testing stages. The application's main features include descriptions of tourist attractions, locations, operational hours, ticket prices, and culinary recommendations with addresses, opening hours, and menu descriptions. Black box testing was used to verify the application's functionality, ensuring it met user needs. The results show that this application facilitates trip planning and offers practical and accurate information for tourists. Additionally, the application has the potential to support Yogyakarta tourism promotion and enhance the overall tourist experience
