Therefore, a system is needed that helps tenants in carrying out the infrastructure rental process. The concept is an Android-based Sports Infrastructure E-Booking application. This application was built and designed using the waterfall model and UML (Unified Modeling Language) with several diagrams, namely Use Case Diagrams, Activity Diagrams and Class Diagrams. The programming language used is Dart, Flutter Framework and Firebase as the database.
