dc.description.abstract | The research was conducted to develop the information system model on nutrition status of
child monitoring based on geographical information system (GIS) to support the plan of increasing
the nutrition improvement at the District Health Office, Sukoharjo Regency. This descriptive research
was carried out by implementing interview to subjects who were involved in the activity of the
monitoring. Observation was also performed to two objects, namely the structure and the procedure
of information. The collected data were analyzed descriptively by applying result of structure and
the procedure analysis. The system development was designed by using the approach of FAST
(Framework for the Application of System Techniques). The observation to the problem, scope,
and property had been conducted by the interview with the subjects indicate that the research subjects
at all levels from top managers to persons in the transactional level as well as those who are at cross
section department support the development of monitoring system to the improvement of nutrition
status program, and this system is reliable to maping perform of nutrition status of child based on
the category as severe malnutrition, under nutrition, normal and overweigt. In the future nutrition
information based on GIS have the benefits of the new system in supporting the monitoring activity
toward the nutrition improvement program and it also supports the plan. Suggestions from this
research might go to the government health institution to develop spatial or terrestrial data on the
health programs have to be designed GIS for the each other program. Moreover, the other model
should be developed GIS in the other spatial data and information can be accessed by informative
map. | en_US |
