Development and Evaluation of Web-Based Biodiversity Information Management System of Lake Mainit

Author(s) Dr. Rolit Joan Curias Ferol, Prof. Dr. Emmylou Aspacio Borja
Country Philippines
Abstract Lake Mainit, the fourth-largest and deepest inland lake in the Philippines, is recognized as a Key Biodiversity Area (KBA) due to its rich concentration of native, endemic, and threatened species. However, increasing anthropogenic pressures—such as habitat degradation, overexploitation, and pollution—pose significant risks to its ecological integrity. In response, this study aimed to develop and evaluate a Biodiversity Information Management System (BIMS) specifically designed for the lake. The system serves as a centralized digital platform for documenting, organizing, and accessing biodiversity data to support conservation planning, environmental education, and policy-making. The system was developed following established software engineering principles and assessed using the ISO/IEC 9126 software quality model, focusing on usability, functionality, portability, maintainability, and system satisfaction. The evaluation employed a quantitative research design utilizing

a structured Likert-scale survey administered to selected stakeholders, including IT experts, local government officials, faculty members, and students. Results were analyzed using descriptive statistics and intraclass correlation coefficients to determine the level of system conformity and rating consistency among user groups. Findings indicated strong acceptance and high levels of agreement across all software quality attributes. The system was deemed technically sound, user-friendly, and applicable across different sectors. Overall, the BIMS demonstrated significant potential in enhancing biodiversity monitoring, facilitating informed decision-making, and promoting collaborative conservation efforts in the Lake Mainit.
