Barangay officials are responsible for the barangay-related decision-making process. The secretary
handles the data to be used by the officials. The Secretary is the person who assists the civil registrar in
recording in his jurisdiction the births, deaths, diseases, and marriages that occur. For this purpose, in
terms of births, deaths, and illnesses, the barangay secretary in the Philippines is an individual assigned
to compile and manage the barangay records. It is laborious to consolidate, manage, evaluate, and retrieve
information, especially in producing efficient information and decision processing, using the current
method of encoding data to excel. For this purpose, the researchers design and develop a Networked
Decision Support System Application to help barangay monitor the Natality, Mortality, and Morbidity rates
in the Barangay for efficient information and decision processing and to define the system's acceptability
to the end-user in terms of functionality, usability, and performance. The data will be automatically
analyzed via tabular, graphical, and geographical formats using the device. Natality, mortality, and
morbidity rates are easily consolidated by the system and computed. The information is now organized and
the records of the different rates are stored in the system's database. The developed DSS for the Barangay
Health Unit correctly fulfills functional requirements for features such as the management of the Barangay
residents' profile, the mapping of geographical information, the statistical report using tabular and
graphical data, and report presentation. The system was evaluated jointly with the residents by the
barangay officials/staff like the secretary. The overall result of the system evaluation using ISO 25010
Software Quality Standard the criteria Functionality, Usability, and Performance statistically implies that
the system was completely functional, efficient and usable, and fulfilled the requirements of the users.

Since 1992, implement decentralization reformin Mali has made it possible to empower the populations in their own development planning. Resources distribution to local authorities requires detailed information of the constraints and the assets linked to their development. Data collected on the rural area are often poorly defined, redundant or incomplete and inefficiencies for sharing due to a lack of applied standard tools. The information is too descriptive and it is difficult to extract useful one for decision making process. There is inadequate information upon which to base resource allocation decisions. The purpose of this paper is to define data, that can be collected on rural municipalities or localities and handled by GIS to make information available to decision-makers, planners and beneficiaries. The data used from Malian poverty survey performed in 2001-2002 focused on the satisfaction of basic household needs. This concept is based on meeting those who lack access to basic living needs, which generally include clean water, sanitation, nutrition, primary health services, and basic education.The method used the platform of "MapGIS IGS, IIS6, Windows Server 2003, ASP.NET and MS SQL Server 2000" to develop an application GIS Web Service. Data areintegrated to the platform and published as services. The product outputhave been tested successfully on the intranet of Wuhan Zondy Cyber in the term of interoperability and extraction of the information needed.With this tool, each local authority can be a potential collector of his own data and participates to update the database. The Web Services model of the GIS systems described provides users with the services and data they need, without having to install, learn, or pay for any unused functionalities. The extension of this standardization in all ECOWAS countries would be a great advantage regarding the sharing of geographic information between countries.

INTEGRATION OF REMOTE SENSING DATA WITH GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS): ...ijmpict
Remote Sensing and Geographic information System together comprise of Geographic Information Science (GIScience) which is a core research field that tries to emphasis on advanced geographic concepts in Geographic Information System and examines the impact of GIS on individuals and society as a whole and re-examines the themes with incorporation of most recent cognitive and Information Science. The Geographic Information System can be defined as a Computer based system and a tool, both hardware,
software and procedures, which manages geospatial data, solves spatial problems, and supports collection,
storage, transformation, analyzing, retrieving and display of data in a well desired manner. The integration
of GIS and Remote Sensing is a field of research and several implementations have been developed to gain
the maximum throughput out of these collective fields as these techniques have their own data analysis and
data representation methods. The application domain of remote sensing is from a base layer for GIS to the
development of thematic datasets, obtaining and extracting data from imagery and generation of unique
spatial datasets. In my paper I have focused on the integration of both the fields along with its usage in
Analysis and Modelling and also some models of error sources due to the integration of interface of the two
techniques. The paper also describes some error sources while integration as GIS and remote sensing both
are subject to errors and uncertainty. The paper has discussed some Change Detection Techniques used in
the modern sciences with their comparison.
The most difficult and extensive task a national statistical office performs is a population census, which
involves mapping a nation's population, enlisting and training a sizable number of enumerators, running a
wide-ranging publicity campaign, encouraging every household to participate, gathering personal data,
compiling a sizable amount of completed questionnaires, and analyzing and disseminating the results.
According to the report, the traditional tablet-based census method utilized by the Namibia Statistic
Agency has a number of drawbacks, including data loss and a protracted procedure. The goal of the study
was to create a web-based application to support the Namibia Statistic Agency's (NSA) present system. The
study employed a qualitative research methodology, and participants' issues and points of view were
elicited using a descriptive research design. The research's findings showed that the web-based application
for the census will cut down on the amount of time needed for data entry collecting and that the budget for
the census will fall since the web-based system will cost less overall. The report concludes by
recommending the NSA to consider employing the web-based application for its subsequent population
count in order to do away with and simplify the manual data collection process.

The Agricultural Census information is a leading source of facts and figures about a country’s
agricultural development. Such information is used by many who provide services to farmers
and rural communities including federal, state and local governments, agribusinesses etc. Also
such information when integrated with other agricultural surveys and statistics can help in
monitoring progress towards the achievement of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) of a
country. But such huge volumes of census data are available at various geo-spatial portals
either in proprietary formats like shape files, .dat files etc or in form of database tables, word

Cities and Communities: Quality of Life Indicators
Background for the Assignment
Social demographers, social/medical epidemiologists, urban sociologists, politicians, and other researchers have long had a concern the structure, function, current state and viability of urban spaces. One way such researchers have examined urban spaces is to gather data (or review data) based on the application of local quality of life indicators.
Local quality of life indicators evolved from economic indicators and social indicators, and can be divided into two types: objective indicators and subjective indicators. Objective indicators measure actual events such as the occurrence of crime, unemployment rate; subjective indicators measure attitudes about events (e.g., such as crime).
Local quality of life indicators can be used as a method for: (1) describing the current state of an urban space; (2) evaluating the current state of the urban space; and (3) prescribing changes for local conditions that are determined to be detrimental to residents of the urban space.

Agricultural Informatics is a valuable domain in the field of interdisciplinary sciences. This is responsible for the applications of Information Technology, Computing and similar technologies into the agricultural activities. This is the combination of Agricultural Science and Information Sciences. The field due to technological nature is much closed with the Agricultural Engineering or Agricultural Technology. There are many allied and similar nomenclature of the fields but all of these are primarily responsible for the same purpose. The field is rapidly increasing in recent past and most practiced in the developed nation. However, in developing countries as well Agricultural Informatics becomes an emerging field of practice and growing rapidly. Agricultural Informatics is growing both in pre and post agricultural activity. This branch is considered as branch of Information Sciences & Technology due to its technological applications in the field of agriculture and allied areas. Information Sciences are the broadest field within the allied branches and growing rapidly. Agricultural Informatics educational programs have started in recent past in different level and stream of education viz. science and technology. However within the broad periphery of Information Sciences it could be offered in other streams and under the wide variety of Information Sciences. This paper is broad and interdisciplinary in nature and deals with the aspects of the Information Sciences and Technology including features, nature, scope and also the potentialities in respect of Agricultural Informatics.
Framework for an Intelligent Affect Aware Smart Home Environment for Elderly ...CSCJournals
The population of elderly people has been increasing at a rapid rate over the last few decades and their population is expected to further increase in the upcoming future. Their increasing population is associated with their increasing needs due to problems like physical disabilities, cognitive issues, weakened memory and disorganized behavior, that elderly people face with increasing age. To reduce their financial burden on the world economy and to enhance their quality of life, it is essential to develop technology-based solutions that are adaptive, assistive and intelligent in nature. Intelligent Affect Aware Systems that can not only analyze but also predict the behavior of elderly people in the context of their day to day interactions with technology in an IoT-based environment, holds immense potential for serving as a long-term solution for improving the user experience of elderly in smart homes. This work therefore proposes the framework for an Intelligent Affect Aware environment for elderly people that can not only analyze the affective components of their interactions but also predict their likely user experience even before they start engaging in any activity in the given smart home environment. This forecasting of user experience would provide scope for enhancing the same, thereby increasing the assistive and adaptive nature of such intelligent systems. To uphold the efficacy of this proposed framework for improving the quality of life of elderly people in smart homes, it has been tested on three datasets and the results are presented and discussed.
An Empirical Study of the Geospatial Availability of Hospitals in Imo East us...ijtsrd
The accessibility of hospital facilities contributes to social stability and the protection of the fundamental human right to health care. This study aimed to examine the geographical distribution of hospital care facilities and their attribute information in the nine Local Government Areas LGA of the Imo East District by developing a database and producing a visual map of these facilities. The facilities investigated were divided into different groups by type, ownership, and operational state. The attribute data that makes up the database was obtained through questionnaires distributed to facility management. Geospatial data was collected using a handheld Global Positioning System GPS . The maps received from the government agencies integrated with the ArcGIS environment were used for the visual mapping of the facilities. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences SPSS was used to analyze the data. The results suggest that there are 837 health facilities, with Ahiazu and Ezinihitte having the fewest 8.1 and 8.5 , respectively , and Ngor Okpala having the most sparsely distributed. The areas with the most facilities are Aboh and Ikeduru, with 13.3 and 13.0 , respectively. The ownership of private and public facilities was 59.3 and 40.7 , respectively. The facilities are not evenly dispersed, and their standards vary substantially. The database created would surely aid in management, planning, and encouraging new avenues in health administration. The visual map produced illustrates the locations of health institutions, and road connectivity by type, and is an essential source of health information. The visual map available to the public can increase the number of patients who travel to the proper hospitals and prevent patients from seeking health treatment in the wrong place. As a result, the findings of this study may aid in the administration of health facilities and future planning. Umunnakwe George E. | Obasi Ibe B.

The application of big data in health care is a fast-growing field, with many discoveries and methodologies published in the last five years. Big data refers to datasets that are not only big but also high in variety and velocity, which makes them difficult to handle using traditional tools and techniques. Moreover, medical data is one of the most growing data, as it is obtained from Electronic Health Records (EHRs) or patients themselves. Due to the rapid growth of such medical data, we need to provide suitable tools and techniques in order to handle and extract value and knowledge from these datasets to improve the quality of patient care and reduces healthcare costs. Furthermore, such value can be provided using big data analytics, which is the application of advanced analytics techniques on big data. This paper presents an overview of big data content, sources, technologies, tools, and challenges in health care. It also intends to identify the strategies to overcome the challenges.
In the present research work, the importance of municipal administrative data as a source of data collection for statistical purposes is disclosed. To this end, a characterization questionnaire of the administrative data was prepared to know the current status of the same. The municipal plans and programs were analyzed and a bibliographic review of the legal framework of the competences of the municipalities was carried out. The production of administrative data is highly relevant for the collection of information, considering the comparative advantages they have over other types of statistical processes. In addition, in coordination and collaboration with other institutions, the administrative data present the opportunity and possibility of being transformed into statistics, for the generation of public policies of the different instances. The vision that is taken from the analysis carried out is to make a later study of the administrative data as an instrument of data collection to generate the same statistical information obtained with the censuses.

Agricultural Informatics is a valuable domain in the field of interdisciplinary sciences. This is responsible for the applications of Information Technology, Computing and similar technologies into the agricultural activities. This is the combination of Agricultural Science and Information Sciences. The field due to technological nature is much closed with the Agricultural Engineering or Agricultural Technology. There are many allied and similar nomenclature of the fields but all of these are primarily responsible for the same purpose. The field is rapidly increasing in recent past and most practiced in the developed nation. However, in developing countries as well Agricultural Informatics becomes an emerging field of practice and growing rapidly. Agricultural Informatics is growing both in pre and post agricultural activity. This branch is considered as branch of Information Sciences & Technology due to its technological applications in the field of agriculture and allied areas. Information Sciences are the broadest field within the allied branches and growing rapidly. Agricultural Informatics educational programs have started in recent past in different level and stream of education viz. science and technology. However within the broad periphery of Information Sciences it could be offered in other streams and under the wide variety of Information Sciences. This paper is broad and interdisciplinary in nature and deals with the aspects of the Information Sciences and Technology including features, nature, scope and also the potentialities in respect of Agricultural Informatics.
Framework for an Intelligent Affect Aware Smart Home Environment for Elderly ...CSCJournals
The population of elderly people has been increasing at a rapid rate over the last few decades and their population is expected to further increase in the upcoming future. Their increasing population is associated with their increasing needs due to problems like physical disabilities, cognitive issues, weakened memory and disorganized behavior, that elderly people face with increasing age. To reduce their financial burden on the world economy and to enhance their quality of life, it is essential to develop technology-based solutions that are adaptive, assistive and intelligent in nature. Intelligent Affect Aware Systems that can not only analyze but also predict the behavior of elderly people in the context of their day to day interactions with technology in an IoT-based environment, holds immense potential for serving as a long-term solution for improving the user experience of elderly in smart homes. This work therefore proposes the framework for an Intelligent Affect Aware environment for elderly people that can not only analyze the affective components of their interactions but also predict their likely user experience even before they start engaging in any activity in the given smart home environment. This forecasting of user experience would provide scope for enhancing the same, thereby increasing the assistive and adaptive nature of such intelligent systems. To uphold the efficacy of this proposed framework for improving the quality of life of elderly people in smart homes, it has been tested on three datasets and the results are presented and discussed.
An Empirical Study of the Geospatial Availability of Hospitals in Imo East us...ijtsrd
The accessibility of hospital facilities contributes to social stability and the protection of the fundamental human right to health care. This study aimed to examine the geographical distribution of hospital care facilities and their attribute information in the nine Local Government Areas LGA of the Imo East District by developing a database and producing a visual map of these facilities. The facilities investigated were divided into different groups by type, ownership, and operational state. The attribute data that makes up the database was obtained through questionnaires distributed to facility management. Geospatial data was collected using a handheld Global Positioning System GPS . The maps received from the government agencies integrated with the ArcGIS environment were used for the visual mapping of the facilities. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences SPSS was used to analyze the data. The results suggest that there are 837 health facilities, with Ahiazu and Ezinihitte having the fewest 8.1 and 8.5 , respectively , and Ngor Okpala having the most sparsely distributed. The areas with the most facilities are Aboh and Ikeduru, with 13.3 and 13.0 , respectively. The ownership of private and public facilities was 59.3 and 40.7 , respectively. The facilities are not evenly dispersed, and their standards vary substantially. The database created would surely aid in management, planning, and encouraging new avenues in health administration. The visual map produced illustrates the locations of health institutions, and road connectivity by type, and is an essential source of health information. The visual map available to the public can increase the number of patients who travel to the proper hospitals and prevent patients from seeking health treatment in the wrong place. As a result, the findings of this study may aid in the administration of health facilities and future planning. Umunnakwe George E. | Obasi Ibe B.

Transforming the Kenya Health Information System (KHIS) to an Early Warning and Real-Time Electronic Disease Notification System: Optimization for Epidemiology, Disease Surveillance and Response in Kenya.
To develop a concept on transforming the Kenya Health Management Information System (KHIS) to an electronic disease early warning and real-time notification system through optimization of disease surveillance indicators: automatic and real-time notifications integrated into an informative standardised tool. The concepts will enhance and develop part of the list of diseases mandatorily reported within the stipulated period in disease occurrence depending on the case definition of the diseases, virulence and the degree of spread of new emerging diseases that have not been defined e.g. a new infectious disease.
The application of big data in health care is a fast-growing field, with many discoveries and methodologies published in the last five years. Big data refers to datasets that are not only big but also high in variety and velocity, which makes them difficult to handle using traditional tools and techniques. Moreover, medical data is one of the most growing data, as it is obtained from Electronic Health Records (EHRs) or patients themselves. Due to the rapid growth of such medical data, we need to provide suitable tools and techniques in order to handle and extract value and knowledge from these datasets to improve the quality of patient care and reduces healthcare costs. Furthermore, such value can be provided using big data analytics, which is the application of advanced analytics techniques on big data. This paper presents an overview of big data content, sources, technologies, tools, and challenges in health care. It also intends to identify the strategies to overcome the challenges.
In the present research work, the importance of municipal administrative data as a source of data collection for statistical purposes is disclosed. To this end, a characterization questionnaire of the administrative data was prepared to know the current status of the same. The municipal plans and programs were analyzed and a bibliographic review of the legal framework of the competences of the municipalities was carried out. The production of administrative data is highly relevant for the collection of information, considering the comparative advantages they have over other types of statistical processes. In addition, in coordination and collaboration with other institutions, the administrative data present the opportunity and possibility of being transformed into statistics, for the generation of public policies of the different instances. The vision that is taken from the analysis carried out is to make a later study of the administrative data as an instrument of data collection to generate the same statistical information obtained with the censuses.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

ABSTRACT
Barangay officials are responsible for the barangay-related decision-making process. The secretary
handles the data to be used by the officials. The Secretary is the person who assists the civil registrar in
recording in his jurisdiction the births, deaths, diseases, and marriages that occur. For this purpose, in
terms of births, deaths, and illnesses, the barangay secretary in the Philippines is an individual assigned
to compile and manage the barangay records. It is laborious to consolidate, manage, evaluate, and retrieve
information, especially in producing efficient information and decision processing, using the current
method of encoding data to excel. For this purpose, the researchers design and develop a Networked
Decision Support System Application to help barangay monitor the Natality, Mortality, and Morbidity rates
in the Barangay for efficient information and decision processing and to define the system's acceptability
to the end-user in terms of functionality, usability, and performance. The data will be automatically
analyzed via tabular, graphical, and geographical formats using the device. Natality, mortality, and
morbidity rates are easily consolidated by the system and computed. The information is now organized and
the records of the different rates are stored in the system's database. The developed DSS for the Barangay
Health Unit correctly fulfills functional requirements for features such as the management of the Barangay
residents' profile, the mapping of geographical information, the statistical report using tabular and
graphical data, and report presentation. The system was evaluated jointly with the residents by the
barangay officials/staff like the secretary. The overall result of the system evaluation using ISO 25010
Software Quality Standard the criteria Functionality, Usability, and Performance statistically implies that
the system was completely functional, efficient and usable, and fulfilled the requirements of the users.
Keywords Decision Support System, Barangay, Health, natality, mortality, mobility
Introduction
The provision of appropriate, timely, and
accessible data by a county is important as data serves
as inputs to set goals, make informed decisions and
enforce better development policies (Albert &
Vizmanos,2019). That is one of the reasons why the
Philippine government has inspired e-government to
use the advantages of technology to provide people
with enhanced and quality service.
(Lacasandile,2018).
The Republic Act 7160, also known as the
Local Government Code of 1991 allows the barangay
to serve three main functions: a) as a political entity,
b) as a primary unit of planning and implementation,
and c) as a forum. The secretary who holds barangays
knowledge plays a crucial role in the decision making
of the officials to be able to achieve the mandates. The

Secretary maintains an updated record of all Barangay
residents, such as name, address, place, and date of
birth, gender, civil status, citizenship, and occupation
of information, (Tacuban,2016) Assist and assist the
local civil registrar within the unit with birth, death,
disease and marriage registers. (Tan,2018). Secretary
also submits a monthly report on the barangay
registered births, deaths, diseases, and marriages, as
well as the annual number of residents with their
respective local civil registrars. Such information is
the data used by officials in decision-making (Sec. 394
(c) (5), The Local Government Code of 1991) (9: 3a).
The Barangay Secretary experience the
following problems in the current system in
monitoring birth, death, and especially diseases rates
in the barangay: No computerized system used to
monitor the birth, death, and diseases; the secretary use
MS Excel in consolidating the rates of birth, death, and
diseases in the barangay. The number of birth, death,
and diseases are evaluated manually. The secretary
used folders as a repository of reports; the secretary
used pre-printed form in generating reports submitted
to City Health Office, Comelec, and Civil Registrar’s
Office; there is no statistical analysis in determining
the rates of birth, death, diseases, and marriage; there
is no repository of records of the different cases;
unorganized filing of records and reports are also
experienced by the secretary of the Barangay; delay in
submission of reports due to inaccurate tabulation; the
Barangay consolidate only the data of birth, death, and
diseases without analysis and interpretation of data
especially today's pandemic due to covid-19 where
fast and accurate reports are highly needed.
The citizen can gain more with the aid of the
decision support system, as the decision support
system is an information system that facilitates
corporate or organizational decision-making activities.
(Segal,2020). A DSS is used by planning divisions in
an organization, such as the operations department,
which gathers information and generates a report that
can be used for decision-making. ( Santoso,2017).
The proponent aims to design and create a
Networked-based Decision Support System
Application to monitor the rates of natality, mortality,
and morbidity in the Barangay to solve the current
problems of the Barangay, in which the system will
generate an output that could be used by officials to
make faster and more precise decisions.
This project focuses on the term Natality used
in birth rate, another term Mortality used in death rate,
and Morbidity is disease rate (Center for Disease
Control and Prevention, 2020) to cater to some
transactions of the Barangay Health Unit.
A Decision Support System that uses
historical data and transforms it into descriptive
statistics was adopted by the system. (Ouahilal et
al,2016 ) and a combination of human-powered and
computerization (2018). Using the system, the
information would be automatically evaluated by the
system in a tabular, graphical and geographical format
that could be used by the barangay in decision making,
apart from providing the secretary with a solution for
managing barangay records. Report generation is
performed automatically by the system. Natality,
mortality, and morbidity rates are conveniently
consolidated and calculated through the system. In
specific, this study aims to first test the functionality
of the system related to resident profile, geographical
information-based mapping, statistical report using
tabular and graphical data presentation, and reports.
The second is to evaluate user acceptance using
Software Product Quality (ISO 25010) as perceived by
users’ acceptability concerning Functionality,
Usability, and Performance.
Methods
This research uses the research development
type, which is the systematic analysis of the design,
development, and evaluation of educational programs,
processes, and products that must meet internal quality
and efficiency criteria. In the field of instructional
technology, developmental research is especially
important. (Ritchie, 1994) with the application of
descriptive statistical analysis on user’s acceptance of
technology evaluation.
Figure 1. Rapid Application Development
The researchers used Rapid Application
Development (RAD). A type of methodology for
software development that utilizes minimal planning
in favor of rapid prototyping. Software development
preparation using RAD is correlated with writing the
software itself (Rouse,2016).
Evaluation Method

http://tjct.isujournals.ph/ 15
Researchers perform system assessment
using the Software Quality Standard(ISO 25010) to
assess the end-acceptance user's of the system by the
user. The Questionnaire to measure the level of user
acceptance to the system based on the criteria
Functionality, Usability, and Performance towards
using the technology (Estdale & Georgiadou,2018)
The researchers used a Likert scale to
determine, evaluate, and to give feedback to the
system. (Likert,1932) This has been used to determine
whether the respondents rated “Very Great Extent
(VGA)”, “Great Extent (GE)”, “Moderate Extent
(ME)”, “Little Extent (LE)”, and “Very Little Extent
(VLE)”.
The locale of the study
The researchers will be conducted the study
at Barangay Rizal Santiago City.
Sampling Method
The researchers used a purposive sampling
approach to gather data and information from the
respondents. This includes the detection and collection
of people or groups of people who are knowledgeable
and well-informed about a phenomenon of interest.
(Etikan,2016).
The population of the study
The respondents of this study have consisted
of the following: 1 Barangay Captain, 1 Barangay
Secretary, 1 Barangay Deputized Collector, 2
Barangay Clerk, 3 Barangay BLO, 7 Purok Officials,
15 Residents knowledgeable in Information
Technology of Barangay Rizal, Santiago City who will
evaluate the system.
Results

User Interface
The System collects the resident’s
information using the profile information form as
shown in Figures 2. This form serves as a tool to
collect data and store it in the database to generate
useful information.
Figure 3.Mapping Form User Interface
This is one of the Decision support system
features of the system. Upon collecting data the system
has another functionality of using a map to identify the
barangay purok. Natality, Mortality, and Mobility. The
map used a tooltip for each purok that once the user
hovers or taps the purok tooltip the summary status of
the purok will be seen. Color of text change depends
on the average rate or status in the purok. The status is
divided into low, medium, high, and critical conditions
which can be used by the officials in decision making
(Fox et al, 2014) on what will be their action for the
purok or the entire barangay.

Another Decision support system features of
the system being developed are the statistical analysis
of the data which is using data and converted into
descriptive statistics (Ouahilal et al,2016 ) in a form of
a bar graph as shown in figure 4, which is showing the
consolidated rate of natality, mortality, and mobility in
a barangay. This feature provides a clear
understanding of the barangay official and staff the
current situation of rate which is a big help for faster
and easier decision making.

1. The developed DSS for Barangay Health Unit
performs functional requirements properly of the
features such as managing the profile of the residents
of the barangay, mapping geographical information,
statistical report using the tabular and graphical
presentation of data, and generating printed reports.
The features are a big help for the barangay to manage,
consolidate, and easier retrieval data which can be
used for faster and reliable decision making. The
researchers also concluded that the feature of the
system is another tool for today's pandemic COVID-
19 as it would be another way for the barangay to
provide updated information and supports decision on
the health situation of per purok using the mapping,
tabular and statistical features.
2. The overall result of the system evaluation using
ISO 25010 Software Quality Standard the criteria
Functionality, Usability and Performance as perceived
by the users obtained a total mean value of 4.80 which
is equivalent to “Very Great Extent”. This statistics
implies that the system was fully functional, perform
efficiently and usable and meets the users’
requirement. Thus the system is highly recommended
to be implemented also to other barangays in the
Philippines.
