THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Introduction

The field of information systems is constantly shifting and evolving. As

a result, to remain competitive, individuals in any industry must understand the

fundamental concepts and principles involved (Basit, 2023).

Information systems refer to the tools organizations use to collect,

manage, and analyze data. This data informs decision-making to increase

efficiency and profitability (Straus, 2922).

Moreover, according to Jones (2021), information systems are central to

data processing and can significantly impact profitability. The goal of an

information system is to convert data into knowledge that can be used to make

decisions. The information must have quality-ensuring characteristics to add

value to a business and decision-makers.

One of the products of information systems is the E-Government

projects which are inextricably linked to a variety of political reforms and

organizational changes aimed at enacting, supporting, and driving a profound

transformation in the organization of the public sector (Cordella & Iannacci,

2010).
 2

Furthermore, Mensah (2022) claimed that electronic government (e-

government) is the use of appropriate information and communication

technologies (ICTs) in government public administration systems to improve

service delivery and access, as well as interaction between government agencies

and citizens.

This is supported by Adenekan, et al. (2019) that information systems

can be a powerful tool in an ever-changing organizational structure. To use it

effectively, governments should improve the organizational environment,

consider the role of professional staff, remove legal obstacles, and be realistic

about cultural, historical, economic, and political constraints.

Brussel, 2011; Zenebe Beyene and Abdissa Ze-rai, 2014) (Ali M. Al-

Khouri, 2011) as cited by Nycz & Pólkowski, (2015), countries with effective

ICT programs can reduce corruption, promote good governance, and alleviate

some forms of social exclusion. Many public institutions have implemented so-

called e-government programs that incorporate ICT and use it to transform

various aspects of their operations, resulting in a more accessible, transparent,

effective, and accountable government.

In the study of Bousdekis & Kardaras (2020), digital transformation in

the public sector entails new ways of collaborating with stakeholders,

developing new service delivery frameworks, and establishing new types of

 3

relationships. However, aside from consultancy reports, there is little systematic

empirical evidence about how public administrations define digital

transformation in their day-to-day practices, how they approach digital

transformation projects, and what the expected outcomes are. Furthermore,

previous research has focused on central government; digital transformation in

local governments is an underexplored area. However, municipalities have daily

direct contact with citizens, whereas the adoption of digital technologies is

slow.

Pittaway & Montazemi, (2020) also asserted that local governments are

well-positioned to integrate government, private, and citizen data to provide

valuable new digitally enabled public services. However, progress toward

achieving the benefits has stalled in many cases. This is due to leaders' lack of

expertise in leading the implementation and enactment of integrated enterprise

systems to improve public service delivery processes, as part of a journey

known as 'digital transformation'. If digital transformations are to proceed, we

need more nuanced empirical elaboration of the know-how that managers

require.

In the Philippines, the Local Government Units (LGUs) in the

Philippines are being encouraged to use digital technologies to improve their

frontline services and generate more revenue as part of the New Economy in the
 4

post-pandemic era. Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III has urged local

executives to work with the national government to prepare for the transfer of

additional devolved functions, services, and facilities beginning in 2022. The

Mandanas doctrine of the Supreme Court requires that LGUs' IRA share be

calculated using all national taxes, including those collected by the Bureau of

Customs. This increased revenue coverage will assist LGUs in strengthening

their local economies in the New Economy (Dharmaraj, 2020).

Furthermore, in 1993, Executive Order (EO) 135 was enacted to

establish a well-coordinated statistical system at the local level in the

Philippines. The EO aimed to harmonize official statistics at the municipal level

with national statistics and be responsive to planning and monitoring

requirements at the local level. The Local Government Code (LGC) was ratified

on October 10, 1991, and the EO ensures that basic services are delivered at the

provincial, municipal, and village levels. The LGC gives Local Government

Units (LGUs) the power and responsibilities to implement their development

plans, program objectives, and priorities. The EO stipulates that local-level

statistics, the by-products of administrative reporting systems, should be

continued by LGUs. To consolidate data, all LGUs are encouraged to establish

their databases.
 5

The Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS) is a monitoring tool

to diagnose poverty at the local level and localize the Millennium Development

Goals (MDGs), which run from 1990 to 2015. The key challenges for CBMS

include sustainability and expansion of its coverage. One academe initiative to

help in these endeavors is the Barangay Management Information System

(BMIS), which is a data-banking system on social, economic, ecological,

sanitation, agriculture, health, and nutrition designed for municipal and

barangay government units. At present, BMIS is adopted by 1,034 barangays in

34 municipalities. De Castro, C. A., & De Castro, E. G. (2022).

In Ganao, Dupax del Sur, Nueva Vizcaya, there is still no website of its

barangay from which the community can have access to information on what is

happening in the barangay.

This study aims to improve residents' access to essential information,

foster a sense of connectedness, and provide visitors with insights into the

community. By achieving these goals, we hope to contribute to the overall

development and well-being of Barangay Ganao through improved

communication and information accessibility.

Statement of the Problem

This study aims to develop a Management Information System for

Barangay Ganao, Dupax del Sur, Nueva Vizcaya.

 6

Specifically, this study sought to answer the following specific question:

1. What are the data that should be included in the information system of

Barangay Ganao?

2. What is the respondents’ level of evaluation on the acceptability of the

developed information system in terms of its accessibility, originality,

transparency, and integrity?

Significance of the Study

The result of the research would be beneficial to the following:

Computer Technology Students. The findings of this study will provide

students with practical experience in web development, improve technical

skills, foster teamwork, and allow them to contribute to their local community

by developing a platform that promotes agricultural activities, market

information, and local produce. This real-world project will also help them

improve their problem-solving skills and prepare them for future opportunities

in the technology industry.

Barangay Officials. The findings of this study will allow the Barangay

Official of Ganao to easily navigate websites for information such as

announcements, updates, ordinances, and so on. This will also eliminate tons of

paper that they currently keep and allow the system to store it in a way that is

easily accessible.
 7

Barangay Residents. The result of this study will help them to easily

access the information about their barangay.

Tourist. This study serves as a source of information and a gateway to

exploring a destination for the visitors. It can provide details about local

attractions, accommodations, activities, and events in the barangay.

Future Researchers. This study could serve as a reference in searching

for related topics and information it could give additional knowledge needed in

developing and improving similar studies. Future researchers could also analyze

the collected data to identify patterns, optimize processes, and propose

innovations for the region's sustainable agricultural practices.

Scope and Limitation of the Study

The development and evaluation of the Barangay Information System

(BIS) for Barangay Ganao serve several crucial purposes. Firstly, it aims to

enhance overall operational efficiency by streamlining data collection, storage,

and retrieval processes. This, in turn, facilitates informed decision-making.

The system was designed for Barangay Ganao, Dupax del Sur. It was

limited only to all residents of Barangay Ganao. The study covers only the

history, barangay officials, locations, area, ethnic groups, logo system, awards,

population, education, finances, policies/ordinances, and possible tourist

 8

destinations will also be shown. In addition, the system can count the number of

populations per purok.

Additionally, the system shows the population of the barangay to be

viewed on a municipal webpage to monitor the decrease and increase of

household per purok, commodities, and population for an immediate solution,

and using the barangay coordinates which is to be managed by the administrator

and the commodities and populations for an immediate solution.

Operational Definition of Terms

Accessibility. It is the design of products, devices, services, or

environments so that as many people as possible, including those with

disabilities, can use them (Mills, 2023). In this study, it refers to the

______________ which is measured by a 5-item Likert Scale questionnaire.

Confidentiality. This refers to the protection of data from unauthorized

access and disclosure, including methods for safeguarding personal privacy and

proprietary information (NIST, n.d.) In this study, it refers to the

______________which is measured by a 5-item Likert Scale questionnaire.

Information System. An information system (IS) is a network of

interconnected components that collect, store, process and transmit data and

digital information. At its core, it is a collection of hardware, software, data,

people, and processes that collaborate to convert raw data into usable
 9

information. An IS can help businesses achieve a variety of goals, such as better

customer service or increased efficiency (TechTarget Contributor, n.d.). In this

study, it refers to the computerized system developed to collect, process, store,

and disseminate information relevant to Barangay Ganao.

Integrity. This refers to that digital information is not corrupted and can

only be accessed or modified by those who are authorized to do so. Data

integrity refers to data that remains complete, accurate, consistent, and safe

throughout its entire lifecycle (Bigelow, nd.). In this study, it refers to the

________________ which is measured by a 5-item Likert Scale questionnaire.

Originality. It refers to the process of creating new work. It can be

distinguished from reproductions and derivative works (Farid, 2015). In this

study, it refers to the ______________ which is measured by a 5-item Likert

Scale questionnaire.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDY

This chapter includes some important terms that were used in the study

and some related literature, studies, and other significant materials that are

written in foreign and local languages and that can be relevant and can provide

a foundation for the study. It focuses on several aspects that will help in the

development of this study. The study is generally concentrating on the

feasibility of creating an information system for Barangay Ganao.

Creation of e-government websites

The e-Gov field (also known as Electronic Government, Digital

Government, Electronic Governance, and other variations) emerged in the late

1990s. Since then, it has prompted several scientific conferences and journals,

to use the internet and information technology to deliver government

information and services electronically. It provides convenience, improved

accuracy, and lowers government costs by requiring minimal interaction with

government employees and making services available 24/7 (National

Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2007).

Government websites serve as an effective tool for increasing

information delivery, user interaction, and the availability of government

 11

services, which are the most visible aspects of citizens' involvement in public

management (Neves & Silva, 2021).

Here are some of the Philippine Local Government websites that give an

insight into the foundation of this research:

The feature of the Social Security System of which USER ID and the

Password were also gave an idea to the researchers. According to AgarwaL

(2020 ), username and password authentication is an essential technique for

confirming user identity, safeguarding private data, and preserving the good

name of businesses. It gives every user a distinct identity, allowing for

customized access without compromising security. However reuse, phishing,

and using weak passwords can make it less effective. Use best practices, such as

frequent user monitoring and strong password requirements, to improve

security.

https://onlineservices.dmw.gov.ph/OnlineServices/POEAOnline.aspx)

The researchers' idea for their project's navigation website came from a

feature of the Department of Migrant Workers. For a website to convey the

significance and applicability of its pages, content, and information, website

navigation is essential. It significantly affects user experience, sales, and SEO

rankings while assisting users in finding the content they want. A well-

organized navigation system improves user experience, lengthens visits, boosts

the likelihood of making a sale, and elevates the website's overall design.
 13

Additionally, it influences traffic, SEO ranking, conversions, and sales, all of

which are factors in the website's success.GeeksforGeeks. (n.d.).

Related Studies

International studies were presented to strengthen the foundation of this

study.

Bringula, et al., (2022) put forth a framework for the advancement of

barangay-level public services. An online system known as e-barangay was

created using this framework. Both subjective and objective metrics were used

to assess the usability of e-barangay. Any system designed to be developed at

the barangay level, according to the framework, should be able to process

complaints, receive requests for documents, send suggestions, and distribute

notifications and announcements. Residents gave the software positive ratings

based on its subjective metrics. The objective measurements also demonstrate

that all tasks can be finished quickly and perfectly. This meant that the program

satisfied user needs and that its essential features could help other communities'

services. Ultimately, several indicators are required to fully understand the

nuances of usability of community-level systems.

According to Chang & Almaghalsah (2020), eGovernment initiatives

offer governments a great chance to provide the public with faster and better

services in the era of information and communications technology. However, a

 14

few key factors, primarily the usability of websites, will determine whether

these projects succeed or fail in achieving their intended objectives. The

purpose of their study is to assess the usability of Taiwan's current e-

government websites. The findings show that the target e-government websites

have several usability issues. These results can assist designers in determining

the usability requirements of users and focus their attention on creating even

more user-friendly e-government websites.

Moreover, Lee, et al (2023) in which research demonstrate that the

relationship between the evaluation of e-government websites and the intention

to use them is mediated by warmth and competence judgment, respectively.

This implies that, from the viewpoint of the citizens, the government agency is

not only perceived as a service provider but also as a social entity that embodies

warmth and competence. Policymakers can strategically improve citizens'

perceptions of and relationships with the government for the best long-term

functioning of a nation by paying attention to the aspects of website evaluation

related to the social dimensions.

This is similar to the study of Mensah, et al. (2021) who developed and

validated an e-government adoption recommendation model (EGARM) to

investigate the factors influencing citizens' adoption of e-government services

through the open government/data concept. Smart PLS-SEM was utilized for
 15

data analysis. The findings indicate a positive correlation between citizens'

intentions to advocate for the adoption of e-government services and their

intention to use e-government websites. The intention to use e-government

services was significantly predicted by the internet and government trust. The

quality of the information was important in predicting the intention to use, but

not in predicting the citizen's level of trust in the government. Additionally,

trust in government was significantly predicted by both accountability and

information accessibility, but not by intention to use.

On the other hand, Elisa (2020) used a variety of tools to assess the web

security, usability, and accessibility of 79 Tanzanian e-government websites.

With 100% of the websites having broken links and loading times longer than

five seconds, the results demonstrate a high number of issues. Every one of the

79 websites violates WCAG 1.0 and has accessibility issues. 50.6% of web

security vulnerabilities were found to be high-severity, and 51.6% of them

(denial of service or cross-site request forgery) were found to be medium-

severity. The study offers suggestions for addressing these vulnerabilities to

enhance Tanzanian public institutions' online security, usability, and

accessibility.

In the Philippines, Villones’ (2021) study was to improve record

retrieval in the barangay by developing a Barangay Constituents Information

 16

and Services Management System. Because of the software's secure handling of

barangay records, user-friendly interface, and effective service delivery, IT

experts gave it a Very High rating. It was determined that the software sped up

transactions and was dependable and effective. To increase operational

effectiveness and speed up transactions, the study suggests that Barangay Zone

4-A takes into consideration the system. The software might be used by other

nearby barangays, so it's important to offer training to guarantee correct use. To

improve its efficiency, security, and functionality, the barangay should keep

updating its design data.

A similar study was conducted by Carpio (2020). The goal of the study

was to create a Barangay Constituents Information and Services Management

System to enhance the barangay's ability to retrieve records. Because of the

software's secure handling of barangay records, user-friendly interface, and

effective service delivery, IT experts gave it a Very High rating. Residents can

register, submit requests, and file complaints online with the E-Barangay, a

web-based management system. With the help of the system, the barangay

chairman can view and respond to complaints, approve requests, and create

reports. The secretary of the barangay can receive and record residents'

registries, requests, and complaints. Notifications about the status of requests,

complaints, or local announcements are also sent by SMS by the system. After
 17

minor errors were fixed with prototype refinement, the system's performance

was determined to be fully functional and usable.

Additionally, Olipas (n.d.) aimed to create a web-based Barangay

Information and Record Management System using SMS for easier distribution

of announcements. The development process involved following the

development life cycle stages, using data gathering techniques like interviews

and reviews, and using software design tools like Data Flow Diagrams and

Structured Query Language. The system transformed the manual process of

recording, accessing, updating, removing, storing, and transmitting files and

records, demonstrating the importance of following these stages for effective

and efficient IT solutions. The system also highlighted the importance of using

Hypertext Pre-processor and Structured Query Language in IT system

development.

Lastly, Gallera & Salvador (2023) evaluated a digital information system

designed for local barangays, focusing on its effectiveness, usability, and

impact on transparency, accountability, and communication. The system aims

to provide an online platform for efficient management and access to

information on local governance, public services, and community engagement.

The system's effectiveness is determined by usability, functionality, and

maintainability. A minimum rating of 4 out of 5 ensures an intuitive interface,

 18

enabling efficient and accurate service delivery. A rating of 4 out of 5 ensures

the system can store and retrieve information effectively, with adequate security

measures in place. A rating of 3 out of 5 ensures easy maintenance and updates.

The findings support evidence-based decision-making and continuous

improvement of digital information systems for local barangays.

Synthesis

This chapter's various literary works are connected to the current study

Bringula, et al., (2022) study put forth a framework for the advancement

of barangay-level public services; Chang & Almaghalsah (2020) assessed the

usability of Taiwan's current e-government websites; Lee, et al (2023) studied

the relationship between the evaluation of e-government websites and the

intention to use them is mediated by warmth and competence judgment,

respectively; Mensah, et al (2021) developed and validated an e-government

adoption recommendation model (EGARM) to investigate the factors

influencing citizens' adoption of e-government services through the open

government/data concept, and Elisa (2020) used a variety of tools to assess the

web security, usability, and accessibility of 79 Tanzanian e-government

websites.

However, this study is different from another study.

 19

Villones' (2021) study was to improve record retrieval in the barangay

by developing a Barangay Constituents Information and Services Management

System. In this research, it will focus on the dissemination of information to the

community of Barangay Ganao; Carpio’s (2020) study was to create a Barangay

Constituents Information and Services Management System to enhance the

barangay's ability to retrieve records. However, this study was focused on

giving information to its constituents; Olipas's (n.d.) study aimed to create a

web-based Barangay Information and Record Management System using SMS

for easier distribution of announcements. This study will not use SMS to

disseminate information. And Gallera, & Salvador (2023) study evaluates a

digital information system designed for local barangays, focusing on its

effectiveness, usability, and impact on transparency, accountability, and

communication. In this study, it used originality, integrity, accessibility, and

confidentiality.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE

STUDY

Research Design

The researchers made use of the quantitative approach to obtain the data

needed. Quantitative research encompasses the entire range. All types of

measurements are verified, calculated, and analyzed using similar criteria.

Roger (2015).

It also used the developmental research design. According to Richey &

Klein (2005), the development research design is "the systematic study of

design, development and evaluation processes to establish an empirical basis for

the creation of instructional models".

These research designs were appropriate for use in this study because the

goal is to develop a management information system for Ganao, Dupax del Sur,

Nueva Vizcaya based on the evaluation of the respondents.

Research Environment

This research was conducted at Ganao, Dupax del Sur province of Nueva

Vizcaya in the Cagayan Valley region, northeast of Luzon.

 21

Ganao, formerly known as Lingad, is a barangay in the Nueva Vizcaya

province's Dupax Del Sur municipality. 1,226 people were living there as of the

2020 Census. This was equivalent to 5.78% of Dupax Del Sur's total population

(PhilAtlas, 2020).

Respondents of the Study

The respondents of this study were the Barangay officials, Barangay

residents, SK officials, and faculty staff of Nueva Vizcaya State University-

Bambang Campus. A purposive sampling method was employed to select

participants who possess knowledge and experience in using the current system.
 22

The sample size was determined based on the saturation point, where data

redundancy is achieved and new information is no longer obtained

Table 1. Frequency and Percentage Distribution of the Respondents

Population Number of respondents Percentage

Barangay Officials 10 22%

SK Officials 10 22%

Barangay Residents 20 43%

Faculty Staff 6 13%

Total 46 100%

The table shows that there are a total of 46 respondents, with barangay

residents comprising 20 or 43%, followed by barangay officials and SK

officials with 10 or 22% respondents and faculty staff (6 or 13%).

Research Instrument

The research instruments used in the research study are questionnaires

and checklists to gather the needed data. A systematically prepared form with a

set of questions designed to get and produce responses from the respondents'

structured survey form will use a Likert Scale prepared by the researchers

containing 5 Likert terms. The items are inside a table, each column has a

corresponding scale (Strongly agree, Agree, Moderately Agree, Not So Much

 23

Acceptable, and Strongly disagree) in which respondents choose their responses

by checking tick marks.
