IMPLEMENTASI SISTEM MANAJEMEN EVENT TERINTEGRASI UNTUK MENINGKATKAN EFEKTIVITAS KEGIATAN ORGANISASI MAHASISWA

Effective event management is a major challenge for student organizations, particularly in terms of coordination, scheduling, and activity reporting. To address this issue, this study aims to develop and implement an integrated web-based event management system, with a case study on student organizations at STMIK El Rahma Yogyakarta, including the Student Executive Board (BEM), Study Program Student Associations (HMP), and Student Activity Units (UKM). Using the Rapid Application Development (RAD) approach, the system was designed with active user involvement in requirement gathering, prototyping, development, and iterative testing. Evaluation results showed that 75% of respondents were highly satisfied, and 20% were satisfied with the system's ease of use, effectiveness, and reliability, proving its ability to increase efficiency in organizational activity management. The implications of this study indicate that the RAD approach can produce systems that are adaptive to user needs and relevant for application in similar institutional contexts.
