PENERAPAN METODE RAPID APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT (RAD) PADA SISTEM INFORMASI FASILITAS BANDAR UDARA SULTAN BABULLAH TERNATE

Bandar Udara Sultan Babullah Ternate merupakan salah satu gerbang utama transportasi udara di wilayah Maluku Utara. Seiring meningkatnya jumlah penumpang dan kunjungan wisatawan, kebutuhan akan layanan informasi yang cepat, akurat, dan mudah diakses menjadi semakin penting. Namun, sistem informasi yang tersedia masih terbatas, terutama dalam penyampaian informasi fasilitas, destinasi wisata, dan layanan pendukung lainnya. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan sistem informasi fasilitas bandara berbasis website dengan pendekatan Rapid Application Development (RAD) guna menunjang pelayanan publik yang lebih efisien. Pengembangan sistem dilakukan melalui tahapan RAD: perencanaan kebutuhan, desain prototipe, dan implementasi. Sistem dibangun menggunakan Wordpress dan plugin pendukung untuk menyajikan konten fasilitas bandara, rekomendasi kuliner, destinasi wisata, informasi penerbangan, dan fitur lainnya. Evaluasi dilakukan dengan metode System Usability Scale (SUS) terhadap 100 responden. Hasil pengembangan menghasilkan sistem informasi berbasis web yang responsif dan mudah digunakan. Skor rata-rata pengujian SUS mencapai 75,71 yang menunjukkan sistem berada pada kategori “baik” atau “Good”. Sistem ini tidak hanya mendukung penyampaian informasi fasilitas di bandar udara Sultan
Babullah Ternate, tetapi juga menjadi media promosi potensi lokal Ternate.

===========================================================
Sultan babullah airport in Ternate serves as one of the main air transportation gateways in the North Maluku region. Along with the increasing number of passengers and tourist visits, the need for fast, accurate, and easily accessible information services has become increasingly important. However, the currently available information system remains limited, particularly in delivering information about airport facilities, tourist destinations, and other supporting services. Therefore, this study aims to develop a web-based airport facilities information system using the Rapid Application Development (RAD) approach to support more efficient public services. The system development was carried out through the stages of RAD: requirements planning, prototype design, and implementation. The system was built using Wordpress along with supporting plugins to present content related to airport facilities, culinary recommendations, tourist destinations, flight information, and other features. The system evaluation was conducted using the System Usability Scale (SUS) method with 100 respondents. The result of the development is a responsive and user-friendly web-based information system. The average SUS score reached 75.71, indicating that the system falls into the "Good" category. This system not only enhances the delivery of facility information at Sultan babullah airport but also serves as a promotional medium for Ternate's local tourism potential.
