Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to help Balai Pelestarian Nilai Budaya (BPNB) Jawa Barat in preserving the Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) in Indonesia. BPNB Jawa Barat manages four provinces in Indonesia namely Banten, DKI Jakarta, Jawa Barat, and Lampung. This Android application aims to disseminate information regarding ICH aspects which includes history, location, maestro, and the distribution of ICH in the four provinces. The method used in application development is the Unified Process which is carried out in several phases, namely Inception, Elaboration, Construction, and Transition. The design of an Android application uses Unified Modeling Language (UML) as an application modeling. The application uses Google Maps API and coordinates stored in the database to display the locations of ICH on the map. The application has been tested using Black Box and User Acceptance Test (UAT) method, and based on the test results it can be concluded that the application can help the user to obtain information about aspects of the Intangible Cultural Heritage.
