3.1.1. User Identification
User identification analysis is needed for defining the specific target and appropriate information. This should be done for designing the system. The
considered users of the GIS-based DSS for small islands in border area can be classified into two categories, i.e.:
1
Government LocalCentral as a decision maker, ex: Governor, DPRD, DPR etc.
2
Researchers or Non Government Sectors. They will take benefit from the system by increasing their knowledge of small islands in the border area.
3.1.2. 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. The
information needed for the study have been elaborated by two approaches: ¾ Definition of the information for major issues, i.e., environmentally
sustainable small islands management, problems identifications, and the development of small islands utilization;
¾ Definition of the types of information important to the expected beneficiaries. The completion of this needed information was checked by
relating of the data sets. There are some questions arise during the need assessment of GIS-based
decision support system for Ndana Island. The questions are shown in Table 2.

Table 2. Question from need assessment
User as decision maker Researcher
What are the natural resources potencies of that island?
What are the physical characteristic of that island?
What is the best management for that island?
What are the demographic and socioeconomic characteristic of the
local people?
How much the cost and benefit to develop that island?
How about the data of that island? It’s complete or not? Can we display,
share or access those data? Can we make an analysis with those data?
From literature review, it was found that Ndana Island needs a system to be implemented to enhance the information of this small island in the border area.
To achieve the goals GIS-based Decision Support System will be developed and used.
