Abstract
In the research field, smartphone began to be used for field data collection. One application that was used was KoBoCollect. This article shared the experience of using KoBoCollect in research on the socio-economic impact of blood diseases on banana in Sumba Island. The research was conducted by interviewing 64 banana farmers that spread proportionally in four regencies in Sumba Island. The use of KoBoCollect/toolbox made it easy to collect, save and manage research data. KoBoCollect/toolbox provided the advantages of conducting paperless research, able to record data in complex formats such as numeric data, descriptive data, photos, videos, sounds, coordinates and other data, dynamically making forms changes when conducting research, and displaying interactive applications. KoBoCollect can be run off-line, made it possible to collect field data in remote locations and no internet network. The research data was transmitted online so that the data tabulation process was automatic. Simple data analysis such as median values, mode, graphs and distribution maps of data collection were provided in KoBotoolbox. With KoBoCollect/toolbox, researchers quickly find out the results of the research, as in this research it was known that blood disease had an impact on the decrease in the banana population revealed by 81.54% of farmers.
Highlights
The development of communication and information technology gave influence in various fields of life
The selection of Sumba Island as a research location was because Sumba was a new area that was experiencing the spread of blood disease in banana
After adopting KoBoCollect on smartphones, an early human-wildlife conflict (HWC) warning system can be used at a low cost, improving the global management and conservation of the leading species that involved in HWC
Summary
The development of communication and information technology gave influence in various fields of life. Information and communication technology, which had become an icon of the fourth industrial revolution, was able to disrupt various technologies that previously existed. According to Prasetyo and Trisanti (2018), the industrial revolution disrupted the technology sector, and other fields, such as law, economics, social and research. Various research instruments continued to be developed to support researchers in doing their job. Information technology had developed in the field of technology research, and in other fields such as social, economic and cultural. The development of research instruments by utilizing information and communication technology was expected to accelerate and facilitate the implementation of research
