Need Assessment User Identification

III. METHODOLOGY

Spatial-Decision Support System was developed to support the Government to monitor the industrial wastewater and the river water quality. As an information system, this system was developed by using SDLC approach System Development Life Cycle.

3.1 Need Assessment

In the beginning of the analysis and general design phase, intending to elicit an understanding of the scope of a study, a needs assessment was performed to understand the project process, to know what they want to accomplish with the automation, and to involve them at an early stage of the implementation. There are two kind of analysis in this stage, e.g.: system analysis and data need analysis. System analysis, means that the principle of database structure based on the output plan. Data Need Analysis, means that in this analysis will be done identification of data type, data availability, data format, group of datavariable, and data reading technique. Data will be used in database structuring should be made in the same format, which can be done going through standardization all kind of data. There are some questions arise during the need assessment of spatial decision support system for industrial wastewater monitoring. The questions are shown in Table 4. Table 4 . Question from need assessment User as decision maker Researcher How to do the effective monitor- ing industrial and river water pollution? • What is the existing information of pollution was covered? • It’s complete or not? • Can we display, share or access those data? • Can we make an analysis with those data? 27 From literature review, it was found that monitoring the water pollution needs a system to be implemented. To achieve the goals Spatial Decision Support System will be developed and used.

3.2 User Identification

User identification analysis is needed for defining the specific target and appropriate information. This should be done for designing the system. There are four categories of users: 1 Central Government KMLH as a decision maker needs information of industrial profile and its pollution status. 2 Local Government Pemda in order to release of industrial license and permitting 3 Environmental Agency BPLHD in order to make good planning and monitoring of environmental sectors. 4 Industry in order to support regular data of industrial waste water and to get information of water quality status. 5 Public in order to know the industrial and river pollutions status
