Precision technology elements have not been implemented yet into the sustainable oil palm industry because the knowledge and technology gap. To resolve the gaps, promote sustainability and integrate the technologies, Oil Palm Management System (OPAMS) was introduced. The precision technologies in OPAMS comprises of Geographical Information System (GIS), Global Positioning System (GPS), remote sensing and yield monitoring. A phase by phase System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) methodology was used to generate the said system with feedbacks from oil palm planters as the inputs for OPAMS’s key features. OPAMS ultimately aims to increase the awareness of the industry on the benefits of utilizing technology to improve plantation performances, increase business and environmental sustainability.

Agriculture industry stakeholders, especially those in oil palm industry, reckon the significance of pursuing sustainability due the competitiveness in the industry. Moreover, rigorous requirements which imposed by sustainable organizations and authorities has given rise to the industry stakeholders for continually seeking for better solutions to minimize the total operating cost. Yet even though these scenarios are what satisfies and act as the market drive to promote the research in precision technologies, the practices of precision technologies in Malaysia’s oil palm industries still lack in its pace. This research aims to develop a sustainable precision agriculture management system for the oil palm industry. The research then moved forward to the development of Oil Palm Management System (OPAMS) which serves as a monitoring and data management system to justify the decision making in oil palm plantation operational process to achieve sustainable goal. The system assists them in monitoring, control and properly manages their resources, including fertilizers, chemical, pesticides, energy and water with better efficiency. The research raised the awareness of precision agriculture practices in oil palm industry, allow industry stakeholders taking sustainability into account while making operating investment and management decisions.

Aplikasi Multimedia pembelajaran sebagai salah satu media yang dapatdigunakan dalam penyampaian materi di sekolah, memberikan dampak positifbagi Guru dan Siswa dalam hal pemanfaatan perangkat digitalisasi danTeknologi Informasi di era Globalisasi saat ini. Hal ini termasuk pula memanfaatkan E-Learning yang pada saat ini merupakan media komunikatif dalam Proses Belajar Mengajar (PBM). Mata pelajaran Pendidikan LingkunganHidup (PLH) di tingkat Sekolah Menengah Pertama (SMP), yang salah satunyamempelajari sub bab materi tentang bencana alam. Dalam Proses PBM disekolah khususnya tingkat Menengah Pertama, rata-rata secara umum Gurusebagai penyampai materi masih menggunakan metode pembelajaran danmedia yang bersifat konvensional, yaitu hanya dengan memanfatkan metodeinteraksi langsung dengan siswa dan media buku-buku pelajaran tanpa ataubahkan tidak sama sekali memanfaatkan perangkat Teknologi Informasi (IT).Hal tersebut menyebabkan siswa harus menalar kronologis kejadian bencanaalam yang dirasakan agak menyulitkan baik bagi pihak Guru maupun Siswadalam memahami materi pelajaran karena akan lebih baik apabila terdapatmedia yang dapat memperlihatkan dengan jelas tentang fenomena bencanaalam dengan menggunakan aplikasi multimedia sebagai media yang dapatmembantu secara visualisasi dalam bentuk video animasi, sehingga materiakan lebih mudah dipahami dan ditalar oleh siswa. Metode pengembangansistem yang digunakan adalah model SDLC (System Development Life Cycle)atau Waterfall. Karena model ini bertujuan menghasilkan sistem dengankualitas yang tinggi, memenuhi harapan penggunanya, tepat dalam waktu danbiaya, bekerja dengan efektif dan efisien dalam infrastruktur TeknologiInformasi yang ada atau yang direncanakan, serta murah dalam perawatan danpengembangan lebih lanjut. Berdasarkan permasalahan diatas, maka dibuatlahsebuah “Aplikasi Multimedia Pembelajaran Pendidikan Lingkungan HidupTentang Bencana Alam”. Aplikasi ini diharapkan dapat membantu siswa dalammempelajari materi Pendidikan Lingkungan Hidup tentang bencana alamdengan menonjolkan objek gambar, suara, animasi video, animasi yangmenarik dan interaktif yang diharapkan akan dapat berfungsi dalam membantudalam PBM.

System Development Life Cycle atau yang lebih dikenal dengan istilah SDLC adalah metodologi umum yang digunakan untuk mengembangkan sistem informasi. SDLC terdiri dari beberapa fase yang dimulai dari fase perencanaan, analisis, perancangan, implementasi hingga pemeliharaan sistem. Konsep SDLC ini mendasari berbagai jenis model pengembangan perangkat lunak untuk membentuk suatu kerangka kerja untuk perencanaan dan pengendalian pembuatan sistem informasi. Model-model SDLC yang sering digunakan antara lain Waterfall dan Prototyping. Pembahasan mengenai model pengembangan perangkat lunak ini terdapat di salah satu materi di mata kuliah Analisis dan Desain Sistem Informasi yang ada di program studi Teknik Informatika yaitu di Bab 2 Pengembangan Sistem Informasi.Hasil perbandingan dari kedua model tersebut menyatakan bahwa model waterfall lebih cocok untuk sistem atau perangkat lunak yang bersifat generik, artinya sistem dapat diidentifikasi semua kebutuhannya dari awal dengan spesifikasi yang umum. Sesuai dengan karakteristik model ini, contoh topik Tugas Akhir/Skripsi yang cocok jika menggunakan model ini adalah tugas akhir/skripsi yang memiliki tujuan untuk membangun sebuah sistem dari awal yang mengumpulkan kebutuhan sistem yang akan dibangun sesuai dengan topik penelitian yang dipilih sampai dengan produk tersebut diuji. Sedangkan prototyping lebih cocok untuk sistem atau perangkat lunak yang bersifat customize, artinya software yang diciptakan berdasarkan permintaan dan kebutuhan (bahkan situasi atau kondisi) tertentu. Sesuai dengan karakteristik model ini contoh topik Tugas Akhir/Skripsi yang cocok jika menggunakan model ini adalah tugas akhir/skripsi yang memiliki tujuan untuk mengimplementasikan sebuah metode atau algoritma tertentu pada suatu kasus.Keywords : System Development Life Cycle, Waterfall, Prototype
