INTEGRATED SYSTEM-BASED SMART APPLICATION (SIPATIN) FOR STRENGTHENING FISHERIES GOVERNANCE IN LEBAK REGENCY, BANTEN

Introduction

Integrated system-based smart application (sipatin) for strengthening fisheries governance in lebak regency, banten. SIPATIN: An integrated smart app for fisheries governance in Lebak Regency. Features real-time monitoring, reporting, and E-commerce to boost efficiency and empower local fishery businesses.

Abstract

The Fisheries Office of Lebak Regency is responsible for the management of capture fisheries, aquaculture, resource monitoring, and the marketing of fishery products. However, geographical challenges, the difficulty of obtaining real-time data, and the use of conventional monitoring and reporting methods hinder effective and sustainable fisheries governance. In addition, limited market reach—primarily targeting only local areas—further restricts the region’s economic potential. This study aims to address issues related to monitoring, reporting, and marketing through the development of an Integrated Fisheries Information System (SIPATIN), a smart mobile-based fisheries governance application integrated with a web-based monitoring platform. SIPATIN features include fishery area mapping, real-time reporting, an E-Commerce marketing platform, and a recommendation system that provides detailed information on products, seller locations, prices, reviews, estimated delivery times, and proximity-based suggestions for users. The system was developed using a prototyping method, consisting of needs analysis, design, development, testing, and evaluation based on user feedback. The application was evaluated using the System Usability Scale (SUS), which scored 74.26 (Good), and User Acceptance Testing (UAT), involving 246 respondents and resulting in a score of 79.13 (Acceptable). The results of this study show that SIPATIN effectively supports integrated fisheries governance, enhances service efficiency at the Lebak Regency Fisheries Office, and empowers fishery business actors including fishers, fish farmers, and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in processed fish products. Furthermore, this research also produces a data-based fishery system for sustainable economic development

Review

This study introduces SIPATIN (Integrated System-Based Smart Application), a timely and relevant initiative designed to strengthen fisheries governance in Lebak Regency, Banten. The abstract effectively articulates the critical challenges faced by the local Fisheries Office, including geographical complexities, difficulties in obtaining real-time data, reliance on conventional monitoring and reporting, and a limited market reach for fishery products. These issues collectively hinder effective and sustainable fisheries management and restrict the region's economic potential. The paper's aim to address these multifaceted problems through an integrated digital solution is highly commendable, highlighting a pressing need within many developing coastal regions. The proposed solution, SIPATIN, is presented as an integrated smart mobile application paired with a web-based monitoring platform, offering a comprehensive suite of features. These include essential functionalities such as fishery area mapping, real-time reporting, an E-Commerce marketing platform, and a sophisticated recommendation system providing detailed product, seller, pricing, review, and proximity-based information. The development followed a robust prototyping method, encompassing needs analysis, design, development, testing, and evaluation based on user feedback. The positive evaluation results, with a System Usability Scale (SUS) score of 74.26 (Good) and User Acceptance Testing (UAT) score of 79.13 (Acceptable) from 246 respondents, lend significant credibility to the system's readiness for implementation and user appeal. The findings underscore SIPATIN's substantial contributions to both administrative efficiency and economic empowerment. The system demonstrably supports integrated fisheries governance, streamlines services at the Lebak Regency Fisheries Office, and crucially, empowers key fishery business actors, including fishers, fish farmers, and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) involved in processed fish products. This empowerment, coupled with the establishment of a data-based fishery system, marks a significant step towards fostering sustainable economic development in the region. This research provides a valuable case study for how integrated technological solutions can address complex local governance and market access challenges within the fisheries sector, offering a blueprint for similar initiatives elsewhere.
