Abstract: Bandung city in West Java Province has been established as a Priority and Branding culinary destination set

by the Ministry of Tourism of the Republic of Indonesia in 2016. The city has a diversity of gastronomic

cultural heritage as a support for gastronomic tourism that still preserves the local culture, with unique and

authentic characteristics of ethnic Sundanese as tourism products.This tourist attraction has become one of

the choices for local, domestic, and foreign tourist to get experience while doing tourist activities. Activity

tasting a variety of menus as authentic dishes in Sundanese specialities restaurants, buying various souvenirs

and merchandise, seeing attraction making food and beverage, and story telling as the identity of the

Sundanese as a native in Bandung City. Researchers have not seen the existence of a Sundanese

gastronomic tourism technology information system as a tourist attraction that is feasible easily, and

efficiently can be visited by local people, domestic and foreign tourists. The development of Linux-based

mobile technology such as Android as a smartphone operating system is quite popular among the general

public, and has an affordable cost. Also it is open source, allowing users to develop comprehensive

gastronomic education tourism mapping features. Explorative analytical descriptive method of the

gastronomic component as a tourist attraction is the name of a restaurant / souvenir center, location,

accessibility, amenities, management, description, unique and superior values, also spatial mapping in the

city of Bandung. The result is an appropriate technology design based on android application as a

Sundanese gastronomic tourism information system in the city of Bandung as a tourist attraction that can be

accessed online by tourist

1 INTRODUCTION

UNESCO sets the criteria for gastronomic cities in

the world, that has a variety of gastronomic tourist

attraction activities as explained by Turgarini

(2018), namely culinary, raw materials, tasting,

serving, educational facilities, unique experiences,

nutrition and nutrition content, history / tradition /

philosophy to ethics and etiquette. Bandung is a city

also has a variety of features, and culture, including

gastronomic diversity, which is a typical Sundanese

menu that has a tourist destination for authentic raw

materials, a place for tasting and serving dishes

laden with values of local wisdom, gastronomic

education institutions, to gain experience

memorable, there are health benefits when enjoying

gastronomy because of the presence of clear

nutrition, accompanied by history / tradition /

philosophy and ethics and etiquette when enjoying

it. Sundanese gastronomic diversity in the city of

Bandung can be developed by all stakeholders as

part of a gastronomic education tour.

The increasingly diverse location makes it hard

for gastronomic connoisseurs to find locations, and

restaurants that suit what they want. So far,

gastronomic connoisseurs use the manual method to

find locations as a gastronomic educational tourism

destination by visiting directly. For tourists such a

manual method is clearly less effective because it

will spend a lot of time.

On the other hand technological developments

lately tend to lead to mobile technologies such as

Android which is currently a smartphone operating

system that is quite popular among the general

public. Android is a Linux-based mobile device

operating system. One of the advantages of Android

compared to other device operating systems is that it

is relatively cheap compared to other smartphone

operating systems. In addition, Android is open

source so users can develop features that they have

not yet desired.

Based on the problem above, the researchers tries

to design an application that is able to display, and

present information about Sundanese menus that are

full of meaning as identity of local wisdom, location

or destination of Sundanese gastronomic tourism

(raw materials, menus, restaurants, home industries,

cooking classes, centers by -by, story telling) which

is equipped with information with the shortest

distance from Android users in the city of Bandung.

Based on all the descriptions above, then the

objectives to be achieved in this study emerge. The

objectives of the research carried out are as follows:

1) Design and implement an android application as

a comprehensive information system (raw

materials, menus, restaurants, home industries,

cooking classes, souvenir centers, storytelling)

typical Sundanese in Bandung as a gastronomic

tourist attraction in Bandung

2) Display spatial mapping (raw materials, menus,

restaurants, home industries, cooking classes,

souvenir centers, story telling) Sundanese as a

gastronomic educational tourism attraction in

the city of Bandung which can be accessed

online for local communities, local tourists, the

archipelago and foreign countries.

2 LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 Gastronomy

Turgarini (2018) explained her understanding of

gastronomy not only focusing on culinary arts or

cooking methods, but also on human behavior

including choosing raw materials, then tasting,

tasting, serving food and experiencing the

experience of consuming and searching, studying,

researching and writing about food and all matters

relating to ethics, etiquette and human nutrition in

every nation and country (Soeroso, 2014a, Soeroso

& Susilo, 2013, Lilholt, 2015, Shenoy, 2005,

Manolis, 2010, Santich, 2010, Pullphothong &

Sopha, 2013) . Gastronomy (gastronomy) is the art

and science, even appreciation that is cross-ethnic,

national, racial, group, religion, gender and culture

by studying in detail eating, food and drink for use

in various conditions and situations



Figure 1: Conceptual of Gastronomy

Source: Turgarini, 2018

Turgarini (2018) explained that gastronomy

emphasizes that food is a core component of every

culture. As part of culture, authentic eating

(authenticity) is a combination of pleasure, utility,

and social (Eagleton, 1997), while food is a

dictionary of moods and sensations (Ellmann, 1993),

so the relationship between humans and their food is

typical. So, the choice of type and how food is

consumed will be a marker of identity and difference

(Richards, 2002). This perspective shows, food is

not just fuel (energy), but also has broad meaning as

a means to improve quality of life, a vehicle for

socializing, enriching experience, being able to

express identity or social status and even becoming a

conflict prevention, and a tool to protect land water.

Therefore, regardless of presentation, both local

residents and tourists visiting a tourist destination,

they consistently make gastronomic choices

according to their social class identity, which in turn

will

show power and control in a socioeconomic

hierarchy (Everett, 2009) .

Based on the description of Turgarini (2018),

Sundanese gastronomy is a part of Tatar Sundanese

culture which besides having a utility function

(benefit) to fulfill basic human needs, namely to

maintain life, also contains behaviors and social

norms found in human society in general (Macionis

& Gerber, 2011). Sundanese gastronomy can also be

said as art and science (art and science) related to the

culture of eating good food from the ethnic

Sundanese and can be used as a social tool to show

the identity of the nation, region and state. In the

treasury of tourism, cultural phenomena, especially

those related to Sundanese gastronomy, will be

transmitted through social learning in the

Android Application as a Information System of Sunda Gastronomic for Tourism Attraction in Bandung City



community, and are expected to provide new

experiences in the excitement of traveling.

2.2 Gastronomy Tourism

Gastronomic tourism (gastronomic tourism) as

part of cultural tourism (NIOS, 2018) is a type of

tourism or travel, which is designed with the primary

purpose of making food and drinks as the main

motivating factor for someone to make the trip.

Gastronomic tourism is defined as "pursuing an

eating and drinking experience that is unique and

easy to remember (the pursuit of unique and

memorable eating and drinking experiences)

"(Manolis, 2010). Thus, a gastronomic tourist is

someone who is willing to travel to other places in

an effort to taste and experience authentic local

cuisine in a destination or destination (Pullphothong

& Sopha, 2013).

Turgarini (2018) states that gastronomic tourism

destinations can cover one or more administrative

regions while the local gastronomic consumed and

the people who are related to it, become a tourist

attraction. Gastronomic tourism means of tourists to

learn and appreciate a variety of different cultures;

the scope is broader than just learning cooking skills

(Santich, 2010). Tourists have the motivation to do

recreation with the main aim of gaining experience

in learning the uniqueness of food in an area

(Santich, 2010; travel-industry-dictionary, 2014).

Gastronomic tourism is one of the tourist attractions

by utilizing cultural diversity.

According to Richards (2015) in Turgarini (2018)

gastronomy is very useful for tourism activities

because it is the gateway to local culture that can

make tourists and local residents enjoy cultural

experiences together. Gastronomy is a central part of

the tourist experience that will provide a memorable

and meaningful experience for tourists. In addition,

gastronomy can be a distinctive element of the brand

image of the place (Richards, 2012), especially

tourist destinations, so that it can be a source of

identity, even creating a new identity that is hybrid

(Scarpato, 2002).

In this context, according to Turgarini (2018)

Sundanese gastronomy cannot be separated from the

creations, tastes, intentions, and works of the

Pasundan land community. As a cultural heritage,

Sundanese gastronomy can relate to the symbiosis of

mutualism with tourism. Hjalanger and Richards

(2002) say that local gastronomy can play a different

role in tourism, for example as a complementary

product for tourist destinations, and as a gourmet

tourism (Hall et al., 2003), or can be viewed as a

symbol or symbol of local uniqueness (Bonow &

Rytkönen, 2012). When tourists choose local

gastronomy, they also feel the elements of the local

character they visit (Bessière, 1998). So, consuming

Sundanese gastronomy means absorbing and

manifesting and enjoying intrinsic tourism with an

aura of locality that is even legendary. Usually in a

tourist area many local gastronomies are handled by

local artisans so that it is seen as an important part of

local heritage and culture.

Bandung city has been known to have many

places to enjoy gastronomy, both those sold at malls,

traditional shops and street-halls. The spectrum of

types of food and beverages, how to process raw

materials, how to deliver to consumers and

consumer behavior, is relatively broad. Another

gastronomic element that is displayed in several

outlets is the way of presentation that has Sundanese

characteristics.

2.3 Information System

Understanding Information Systems (SI) in a

comprehensive manner, is contained in the following

description by John F. Nash which states SI is a

combination of people, facilities or tools of

technology, media, procedures and controls meant to

organize important communication networks, certain

processes or transactions and routines, help

management and internal and external users and

provide the basis for making appropriate decisions.

Information system functions, namely:

1) To increase the accessibility of existing data

effectively and efficiently to users, without the

intermediary of the information system. 2) Improve

the productivity of application development and

system maintenance.3) Ensuring the availability of

quality and skills in utilizing information systems

critically.4) Identify the needs regarding information

system support skills.5) Anticipate and understand

the economic consequences. 6) Determine

investments to be directed at information systems. 7)

Develop an effective planning process.

2.4 Mapping

Soekidjo (1994), Juhadi, and Liesnoor (2001)

explained that mapping is a grouping of a group of

regions related to several geographical locations of

the region which include the highlands, mountains,

resources and population potential that influence

socio-cultural which have special characteristics in

use of the right scale. The technique is in making

NTF 2019 - The NHI Tourism Forum



data, continued in data processing, and presentation

in the form of maps (Juhadi and Liesnoor, 2001).

Intan Permanasari (2007) states that there are

three (3) stages of the mapping process that must be

carried out, namely:

a. Data Collection Phase, is the first step in the

mapping process.

b. Data Presentation Stage, is an effort to describe or

describe the data in the form of symbols, so that

the data is interesting, easy to read and understood

by users (users).

c. The stage of using maps, is an important stage

because it determines the success of making a map.

A well-designed map can be used / read easily.

The final result of mapping is a map as a

representation or description of abstract elements or

features selected from the surface of the earth or

celestial bodies and generally depicted on a flat

plane and scaled down or scaled (ICA, : 1973,

Intan Permanasari).

2.5 Restaurant

Restaurant is a place or building that is

commercially organized, which provides good

service to all guests in the form of food and drink.

There are restaurants in a hotel, office or factory,

and many also stand alone outside the building. The

purpose of restaurant operations is to make a profit

as stated in the definition of Prof, Vanco Christian

from the School Hotel Administration at Cornell

University in his book Marsum WA. Besides aiming

at a business or making a profit, satisfying guests is

also a major restaurant operation. Restaurant means

money, because it must know exactly how to

manage it, how to make guests happy and satisfied

so they always want to be a restaurant customer

(Marsum WA, 2005: 7-8). Sundanese restaurant is a

Specialty Restaurant, a restaurant whose atmosphere

and decoration are entirely adjusted to the typical

type of food served or its theme. Restaurants like

this provide ethnic food or certain countries such as

other countries namely China, Japan, India, Italy and

off course Sunda. The service is more or less based

on the procedure of the country where the special

food came from. Likewise, the Sundanese

Restaurant presents the culinary culture of West Java

in the city of Bandung.

2.6 Android

Android is a Linux-based operating system designed

for touch screen mobile devices such as smartphones

and tablet computers. The operating system is done

with an open source (open source), and Google

mirilis code under the Apache license. Code with

open source, and licensing licenses on Android

allows software to be freely distributed and

distributed by device makers, wireless operators, and

application developers. It is also the choice for

technology companies who want a low-cost,

customizable and lightweight operating system for

high-tech devices without having to imagine from

the start. Then android is also developed into

additional applications on television, game consoles,

digital cameras and other electrical devices. The

open nature of Android has led to the emergence of

a large number of application developer

communities to use open source code as a basis for

application development projects, by adding new

features for advanced users or operating Android on

devices officially released using other operating

systems (Wikipedia, 2013).

Android is considered as a complete, open

and free future platform as follows (Safaat, 2012):

 Complete platform, designers can take a

comprehensive approach when they are

developing the Android platform. 

 Open source, the Android Platform is provided

via open source license, developers can freely

develop applications. 

 Free Platform, android is a platform or

application that is free to develop.

Along with its development, Android has various

versions, including (newbiedroid.blogspot.com):

a. Android 2.3-2.3.7 (Gingerbread)

b. Android version 3.0-3.2 (Honeycomb),

c. Android version 4.1-4.3 (Jelly Bean),

d. Android version 4.4 (KitKat), this version is

predicted to be compatible for use on Android

smartphones ranging from High-end to

low-end classes.

purpose of traveling to this city.

3.2 Methods of Collection, Data

Collection, Data Analysis

This study conducted an exploratory, descriptive

analytical study for Sundanese restaurant inventory

that had a component as a tourist attraction in the

city of Bandung, this stage was to identify the

leading Sundanese Restaurant as a tourist destination

by including: Sundanese Restaurant name, location,

accessibility, amenities, manager, general

description , unique and superior value. In addition it

is required:

1) GPS coordinate data for each Sundanese

Restaurant location, and components as tourist

attractions, obtained through measurements.

2) Attribute data, obtained from the Bandung City

food souvenir store in Bandung city. The data is then

processed to obtain appropriate technology for

Sundanese gastronomic education guides and

educational tours for local communities, archipelago

tourists, and foreign tourists in the form of an

android application design and comprehensive

education information system for Sunda gastronomic

tourism attractions in Bandung and Sunda online

maps as educational tourism attractions

4.1 Development Stages

The model of developing Gastropedia information

systems is to use a spiral model whose development

is iterative or repetitive. The function of this model

is to make changes, additions and develop a software

with a series of additions to get better quickly and

precisely based on the wants and needs of its users.

Figure 3: Development Stage of Spiral Model Information

System

Android Application as a Information System of Sunda Gastronomic for Tourism Attraction in Bandung City



1) Communication, is early stage of this model

to communicating the needs of information

system development from users to people who

will develop the software. At this stage, a list

of data to be processed will be produced, which

includes data on restaurants, souvenir shops,

cafes, places to sell raw materials, industrial

houses, and festivals, as well as encyclopedias

about Sundanese snacks that are in the city of

Bandung. Also determined the desired features,

namely location mapping and GPS to help

direct users to that location

2) Planning, when software developers estimate

development duration and scheduling. At this

stage the timeline or information system

development is generated .

3) Modeling/Design Implementation, the

information system developers design a user

interface (UI) and user experience (UX) design.

First, the developer makes a mockup using

graphics processing software, Adobe

Illustrator. This mockup serves to provide an

overview of the layout of each page in the

application. The design components include

logos, icons, text, images and navigation

buttons.

Figure 4: Making Mockup

Then the UI design that has been designed on

mockup is implemented using XML in the

Android Studio software.



Figure 5 Design Implementation at Android Studio using

XML

4) Construction or Function Implementation,

is implementing functions so that the features

of the software can run as they should. The

function implementation is carried out using

the Kotlin and Java programming languages in

the Android Studio software.
