User Interface Design of West Java’s Intangible Cultural Heritage Website using User Centered Design

Abstract

Indonesia is a country that has a very diverse cultural wealth. Intangible cultural heritage in Indonesia is 
 transmitted from generation to generation. Balai Pelestarian Nilai Budaya Jawa Barat (BPNB) or The 
 West Java Cultural Values Preservation Centre located in Bandung keeps the preservation of acculturation 
 culture. BPNB only using Microsoft Access application to document cultural heritage in West Java. This is very 
 unfortunate, because information technology is actively advancing until this day but the preservation of 
 local intangible cultural heritage especially in West Java is not accessible to the public. There is also a 
 chance that younger generation in Indonesia wouldn’t even know a few things about intangible cultural 
 heritage. This research is conducted to create an user interface design of West Java’s intangible cultural 
 heritage website using user centred design method. The result of the interface design is as seen fit by the 
 head of BPNB and already be developed so that BPNB can be easily update and store the records of the West 
 Java’s intangible cultural heritage and the public can also see the list.
