| Abstract | Electronic waste (e-waste) and the digital divide remain pressing issues in the Philippines, particularly in local communities where access to proper disposal systems and digital resources is limited. This study utilized a descriptive quantitative research design involving 50 respondents from Mexico, Pampanga. Data were collected through structured surveys and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The system was developed using Agile and Scrum methodologies to ensure iterative improvements. Findings revealed high user satisfaction in terms of usability, accessibility, and system effectiveness. Respondents showed strong willingness to participate in responsible e-waste disposal and device donation. The platform successfully integrates features such as an AI-powered chatbot, barangay-level mapping, and an environmental impact dashboard. The study demonstrates that EcoKonek is a feasible and scalable solution for addressing e-waste management and digital inequality. It highlights the potential of integrating technology, community engagement, and sustainability practices into a unified platform for local implementation. |
