New Technology, Business Process More Efficient
Adoption
of Android-based tablets in data collection among other things, aims to
minimize the posts that cause data errors are not clean. Through the entry application that is installed on the tablet, the
respondents' answers are automatically validated and stored in the
database and in-uploadlangsung to a central server.
Hermawan
Agustina, Kasi Processing Demographic Statistics BPS, examine the use
of android based tablet in the KAP survey in collaboration with the
National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB). In this survey, tablets used for entry and validation, so ready data is uploaded to the server. "BNPB
facilitate cheap tablet, sophisticated and powerful, equipped Sim Card
and internetunlimited month package for 100 thousand. Very cheap, right? "Asked Herman.
In the KAP survey, questionnaire (hardcopy) is still required as proof of administration. Tablets help move to bentuksoftcopy. In testing, some respondents were interviewed directly with the tablet. In
addition, the tablet is used to identify the location coordinates
(latitude and longitude) are detected from the satellite to the GPS
device directly. Some of the interview was recorded. "To upload the data, it only took a few seconds per record as quickly as sending an SMS. Fast, inexpensive, and efficient, "said Herman assured.
Training officers also designed differently. Completed
registration, participants are given the instruments and questionnaires
to be filled immediately, collected, and examined by the National
Instructor (Eny, Yogo, Prapto) as a form of shock therapy is a new
definition of concepts related to disaster. When the operation of the session the participants were not constrained tablet use. "They just use the tablet smoothly. Any of which carry their own and live in-install the program, "said Herman. On
the last day, try out performed in the presence of Razali Ritonga
Census Block (Director of Population and Employment Statistics BPS),
Indra Murty Surbakti (Kasubdit Demographic Statistics BPS), Rizal (Head
of Padang BPS), Agus Wibowo (Head of Data BNPB), and UNFPA representative.
CAPI Already Waiting Applied
Trial
data collection that implements the Computer-Assisted Personal
Interviewing (CAPI) with tools mobilebukan device this time by BPS. Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) have been used in Indonesian Tobacco
Use Survey 2011. STIS force 51 Students also take advantage of the
current laptop Work Practice (PKL) in 2012.
Diah
Daniaty, an apprentice at the Directorate of Population and Employment
Statistics, under the guidance and direction of Hermawan, complete the
entry application programming Android GPS integration and monitoring
through websitehttp: //demografi.bps.go.id so that the progress of its
implementation can be monitored directly from the BNPB and BPS.
In the future, the application of android based tablet in the BPS is a challenging and promising. Mainly
because of the adoption of this technology requires adequate support,
both in terms of human resources, tools, and infrastructure. The
application requires Android-based tablet BPS HR capability for a wide
range of applications further development in order to be applied in a
variety of BPS survey. In addition, data with mobile devices should also consider the
reliability of the device specifications in terms of memory capacity and
processing speed, security and data backup, power, and connections to
the network / internet.
According
to Herman, the concept and experience of BPS in KAP survey allows to be
applied to other data collection activities in the BPS. Tablets can be used for recording video and photos, data, GPS position detection, to sending data to the server. Concerns run out of power can be anticipated with the power of banks as a source of backup power. Related
data transmission, connection to the internet is sometimes constrained
in the field can be greatly assisted by the WIFI facility in the
province BPS library space. CAPI has been waiting to be applied, ready BPS?
