PKM PENERAPAN APLIKASI SMART VILLAGE DALAM UPAYA PEMBERDAYAAN MASYARAKAT LOKAL DALAM SISTEM INFORMASI DAN PENJUALAN PRODUK LOKAL DI DESA LANTANG KABUPATEN TAKALAR

Abstract

Lantang Village, located in Takalar Regency, South Sulawesi, is a partner in the Community Partnership Program (PKM). The village is known for its local culture such as the Akkaleo' Dodoro and Allammangang harvest festivals which are annual celebrations as an expression of gratitude for the harvest. The majority of the population are farmers because of its large agricultural land. However, they still rely on traditional marketing methods such as traditional markets which are often difficult for the wider community to access. The main problems faced are limitations in the promotion of local crops and products and lack of market access for local producers, lack of information about the village and how to promote Lantang village activities. To overcome this, it is necessary to use internet technology with the "Smart Village" website application. This application not only serves as a center for village information systems but also as a platform to facilitate the sale of local crops and products. The PKM implementation method includes a preparatory stage that includes discussions with partners, the formation of a project team, and the preparation of training tools and materials. Furthermore, the implementation stage includes the development of the Smart Village web application as well as the introduction and training of village information system features and the buying and selling of village products. The features of the village information system include village data management, village geography, village culture, population data, village event agenda, village service information. Meanwhile, the village product buying and selling feature allows producers to upload products, manage orders. From the service process carried out, the Smart Village Application has been produced based on the needs of the village and can be seen on the https://desalantang.my.id/ and https://tmj.poliupg.ac.id/?p=798 website pages. Socialization and training have been carried out to the community, especially admins who will operate the application.
