Abstract
Mount Semeru erupted on December 4, 2021, followed by hot clouds falling. The eruption caused significant destruction to one school, moderate damage to five schools, and impacted 19 schools with volcanic ash, resulting in the tragic loss of six students' lives. Subsequently, a disaster mitigation program named "School Watching" was implemented. It involved observing school environments and identifying hazardous elements to prepare for future disasters. Therefore, using the Design Thinking method, the researchers designed the user experience (UX) for the Semeru School Watch application to assist with the school environment's preparedness. This application implements geotagging and context-aware to accommodate information about school location and the impact of the disaster. The final design of the application was evaluated with a usability test on 20 respondents to assess their effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction. The results for effectiveness scored 98.89%, the efficiency aspect achieved an overall relative efficiency calculation of 98.5%, and the satisfaction aspect received an SUS calculation of 83 with a grade A (excellent). Additionally, the user experience aspect was tested using the UEQ calculation, yielding a score of 1.99 (very good) for attractiveness, 1.68 (above average) for insight, 1.99 (very good) for efficiency, 2.00 (very good) for dependency, 1.88 (very good) for stimulation, and 1.71 (very good) for novelty. So, the School Watching application design with geotagging and context-aware will provide a model for mitigation reporting with mobile apps.
