TL;DR

This paper proposes a web-based e-monitoring system for the Rural Infrastructure Development Program (PPIP) in Muba District, Indonesia, using PHP and MySQL to streamline data collection, reporting, and monitoring. The system enables real-time, accurate, and timely reporting of physical and financial implementation data directly from field supervisors, reducing errors and delays in conventional reporting methods.

ABSTRACT

Information technology is widely used as a media monitor various activities. In this study, the authors will utilize IT to monitor the Rural Infrastructure Development Program (PPIP). PPIP is a program of community development at the village level in the framework of the provision of basic infrastructure in rural settlements carried out by the Directorate General of Human Settlements Ministry of Public Works to support the policy of the Indonesian government. PPIP Kab. Muba through the Department of Public Works and Human Settlement Irrigation District Muba as actors in the process of distribution of program development implementation, disbursement, monitoring (monitoring), and reporting. In the implementation process of the realization of all the monitoring data is processed in a conventional manner or format of diverse reports from the field so often goes wrong, the late submission of reports and inaccuracies among reports received by the condition of the field. The system can manage employment targets, reporting a physical realization and financial absorption, process data reporting information on a regular basis, timely, complete and factual as the data obtained directly from implementing supervisory officers in the field. This system is built with web-based information technology using PHP and MySQL database.

Motivation & Objective

• To address inefficiencies in conventional reporting of rural infrastructure development programs in Muba District.
• To reduce errors, delays, and inconsistencies in field data reporting for the PPIP program.
• To develop a centralized, real-time monitoring system for physical and financial implementation data.
• To improve transparency and accountability in the disbursement and execution of PPIP funds.

Proposed method

• Design and implementation of a web-based e-monitoring system using PHP and MySQL database technology.
• Integration of field-level data entry by supervisory officers directly into the system.
• Standardization of reporting formats to ensure completeness and consistency.
• Automated processing of physical realization and financial absorption data from field reports.
• Implementation of a centralized dashboard for monitoring and reporting at the district level.
• Use of role-based access to ensure data integrity and security across different user levels.

Experimental results

Research questions

• RQ1 How can information technology improve the accuracy and timeliness of rural infrastructure program monitoring in Muba District?
• RQ2 What are the key challenges in conventional reporting systems for PPIP implementation?
• RQ3 Can a centralized web-based system reduce data discrepancies and reporting delays in rural infrastructure projects?
• RQ4 How does real-time data entry from field officers affect monitoring and reporting efficiency?
