Abstract:
This study discusses the development of the "Gender and Development Crime Violence Information System," a tool designed to store, manage, and analyze crime and violence data within a barangay. The technology developed addresses issues in line with domestic violence, child abuse, and hazards within the community that assist the Barangay Captain and Secretary in managing documents and crime reports. The system enables the barangay officials to make informed decisions by evaluating and presenting data in tabular and graphical formats. It includes features such as crime rate analysis per Purok, individual crime reports, and a profile management system for barangay residents. The system was developed using the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) methodology, incorporating Rapid Application Development (RAD) for efficient iterative development. The developed system received high satisfaction ratings from its respondents, with "Strongly Agree" responses for the system's functionality, usability, and performance, affirming that it meets user requirements. This system was successfully implemented in six (6) Barangays of San Isidro, Isabela, improving the management of crime and violence data, reducing paperwork, and enhancing efficiency within the barangay administration. The study shows that the "Gender and Development Crime and Violation Information System" offers significant improvements over traditional manual recording systems of the barangay, making tasks more organized and secure.
