Neighbourhood (RW) IS Management

The Problem

Managing population data and administrative documents at the neighbourhood (RW) level in Indonesia is often done manually — paper forms, physical filing systems, and lots of manual data entry. This leads to lost documents, data inconsistencies, and inefficient workflows.

The Solution

I built a web-based prototype to digitize neighbourhood administration. The system allows residents to submit documents and update their information online, while administrators can manage the data through a secure dashboard.

Key Features

Population Data Management

• Resident registration and profile management
• Family tree visualization
• Migration tracking (people moving in/out)

Document Processing

• Digital submission of administrative documents
• Status tracking for pending applications
• Automated notifications for document approvals

Role-Based Access Control

• Admin: Full access to all data and administrative functions
• Resident: Limited to viewing and editing their own data
• Secure authentication and authorization system

Technical Stack

• Backend: Laravel (PHP framework)
• Database: MySQL
• Frontend: Blade templates with Tailwind CSS
• Design: Mobile-first, fully responsive UI

Challenges & Learnings

This was one of my first experiences building a full-stack application with Laravel. I learned a lot about:

• Database design and relationships
• Authentication and authorization systems
• Building admin dashboards
• Making complex forms user-friendly

The prototype demonstrated how digitizing local government processes could significantly improve efficiency and data accuracy.
