Abstract: The natural beauty of Indonesia undoubtedly received great attention from foreign tourists. Provides

fascinating views of the ocean, mountains, and plains make Indonesian tourism sectoral contributed US $

10.69 billion or equivalent to Rp136 trillion, through its foreign exchange. That makes tourism sector the

mainstay of national income. One of attractive Indonesian tourism sector is mountaineering. Not only climbed

by local tourists, mountains of Indonesia attract foreign tourists to subdue. This leads to the need for more

attention to the comfort and safety of climber during the ascent of mountains in Indonesia. So its become the

need to design a system that is more integrated with technology utilizing the QR Code, Operational

Information Systems (OIS), and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), to potentially reduce the number of

accidents while climbing. This research proposes system design starting from registration to operational

control. The results of the study are proposing a system for integrating due to mountaineering activity from

registration to climb operational control. In addition this reasearch find that, when there is a mismatch on the

climbing trip there will be a Search and Rescue (SAR) operation.

1 INTRODUCTION

The beauty of Indonesia’s nature has undoubtedly

gained great attention from foreign tourists. Providing

beautiful views of the sea, mountains and terrain

makes the Indonesian tourism sector able to

contribute US $ 10.69 billion or equivalent to Rp136

trillion through its foreign exchange. This makes the

tourism sector a mainstay of state income.

Mountain hiking is one of the interesting tourism

sectors in Indonesia. Not only hiked by local tourists,

but the mountains of Indonesia attract foreign tourists

to conquer it. This led to the need for more attention

to comfort and safety during mountain hiking in

Indonesia.

Referring to the description, the problem

formulation in this research is 1) how the information

system of Mount Semeru ascent which is integrated

by using QR Code and RFID technology. The

purpose of this research is to produce the integrated

information system design starting from the

reservation, payment, and supervision of Mount

Semeru hiking activities, as an effort for a safe hike,

preventing the visitors to get lost and create a

structured tourism.

2 RESEARCH METHOD

The research approach used in this study is a

qualitative approach by taking the benefits and cost

of the proposed flowchart into account.

3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

3.1 Reservation Process for The Mount

Semeru Hiking Visitors

There are two processes, namely the registration

process for the Mount Semeru hiking visitors and the

operational process of searching for lost visitors.

Based on the exposure of the Head and the

Registration clerk of Resort Ranu Pane, visitors can

choose the ascent path online or offline then

complement the data and terms, and settle the

payment. After that, come to the counter leaving their

identity cards as an insurance and receive briefings

from the officers, and the hike begins.

3.2 Operational Process of Searching

for Lost Visitors

The operational process of searching for lost visitors

starts with the visitor reporting to the clerk. Then the

advanced team will go to the location to start the

search. When the search is done, the news will spread

and the area will be closed. Searches are done

together until the visitor is found/not found or until

the visitor status is clear.

3.3 System’s Superiority

 The detailed rules and requirements are

available on the web, making it easier for

potential visitors to do the preparation earlier;

 Booking can be done in advance making it

advantageous for the visitors to not run out of

quota;

 The payment system that already utilizes the

bank's cash transfer system, so no one needs to

carry excess money when doing the hike;

 There is a briefing about SOP that adds

visitor’s insight about hiking;

 When the detailed check of the proof of

payment has been done, the date of the hike as

well, if they do not meet the condition they

have to buy additional tickets;

 Real time report on the number of the visitors

to the big hall;

 They don’t keep the cash from the ticket

admission process for too long;

 The search system for lost people has advanced

teams trained for early action.

3.4 System’s Weakness

 The total quota of 500 people per day can not

be viewed entirely on the web, because on the

web only presents the online registration quota

information, so when visitors come directly to

the registration post there are no information

about the availability of quota. The quota on the

web is also often less updated with how it

looks;

 When payment has been made visitors still

have to make their own confirmation and is not

automatically confirmed;

 There is still a lot of paper use in the

registration system;

 The absence of an integrated database of the

resort managers with the large hall, so they

have to do a manual report every day;

 The absence of an adequate surveillance

system, relying solely on the initial guard at the

entrance gate, and from the precision of taking

the identity cards. The search for lost visitors

also usually starts from a visitor's friends

report;

 Announcement to close up the hike is quite not

fast, that makes some visitors got rejected to

hike because they themselves lack of

information about the closing of the hike.

3.5.2 QR Code

QR Code is used to facilitate the detection of direct

visitors, so that visitors will not have to bother to go

to the registration counter. Visitors who have signed

up online after paying will get QR Code by e-mail.

3.5.3 Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) using

RFID reader paired with two antennas on each reader

to be able to identify RFID tag. Tag used is an active

tag, to save the RFID reader power, so that the reader

used is a passive reader. This is also because the

active tag and passive reader can reach a wider area.

The overall integration of Mount Semeru ascent

system are not separated from database technology or

database. Integrated databases can be interconnected

between the parties using it, the Ranu Pani Area

Management and TNBTS Regional Park

Management. Utilization of the database system is

expected to provide solutions to facilitate Mount

Semeru ascent operations.

3.5.4 Operational Information System

Design Mount Semeru Ascent

The operational information system requires input

from several activities, so that it can produce the right

output, with the elaboration in the following chart.

3.5.5 Operational Information System

Design Mount Semeru Ascent

The benchmarking method used is the payback

method which compares the cost to be spent on the

annual income, resulting a payback point which is a

turning point that has not reached a year. This means

that the designed system costs can be covered with

revenue in less than a year, resulting in a system with

an estimated age of 10 years is very feasible to apply.

3.5.6 Human Resources

Each information system needs to be run by human

resources who certainly can understand the system

well enough, as well as Mount Semeru ascent

information system that is integrated requires

employees who understand about the system being

designed and implemented. So that the system can

function as it should be.

4 CONCLUSIONS

Utilization of Mount Semeru ascent Operational

Information System (OIS) based information system

is used as the basis of Mount Semeru ascent system,

so it can optimize the surveillance and action on the

operational activities of Mount Semeru ascent.

Manual supervision results a less rapid rescue, which

can lead to fatalities including death. Delivery of the

entire quota in real-time will provide up-to-date

information, so there will be no more visitor buildup.

Registration with the help of QR Code will make it

easier for visitors and officers. QR Code is formed

automatically and visitors can directly perform their

own scan. The use of Radio Frequency Identification

(RFID) technology is a form of direct control from

the management to ensure that visitors are in line with

their hikes. Handling the case of strayed visitors can

also be quickly done, thus reducing the possibility of

visitors straying for too long and occurring death,

because life can not be purchased with anything.
