ANALYSIS OF THE NEED FOR AN INFORMATION SYSTEM ON PRICES AND AVAILABILITY OF BASIC MATERIALS

The development of information technology has driven digital transformation in various sectors, including the economic sector. Managing data on the prices and availability of basic commodities is crucial for maintaining community economic resilience. This study applies a design thinking approach to analyze the need for an information system on the prices and availability of basic commodities in Yogyakarta City, with a testing plan prepared using black box, white box, and security methods. The analysis produced three main findings: the need for Single Sign-On (SSO) with role-based access, real-time monitoring of commodity prices, and cross-agency integration in agenda and program management. The proposed system design consists of four main modules: administration, agenda, services, and programs/activities. Since this study is limited to the needs analysis and prototype design stage, empirical test results are not yet available. Nevertheless, the study provides an initial framework and foundation for cross-agency integration in the Yogyakarta City Government to support transparency, coordination, and control of basic commodity prices.
