Prototype of Mobile Reverse Logistic Application for Managing Important Document of Natural Disaster Victims (Case Study : The Eruption of Mount Merapi Disaster)

Abstract

Disaster management is one of the activities done to reduce losses from natural disasters. Important document is one of the valuable assets owned by the people. A system of document storage services is needed to reduce such losses. The concept of reverse logistics is an appropriate method to be applied in this case, because the flows of goods come from the consumers to the warehouses. Besides deposited, certain important documents such as vehicle certificate and land certificate can also be pawned to obtain loan. To manage the storage processing and documents pawning, it is necessary to build an appropriate application to this case. Smartphone-based mobile applicationis quite fit because the situation at the disaster site is very limited. The application built is a smart client application thatcan access datafrom the server via webservice. The webservice is built with REST architecture and JSON message format to exchange data between server and client, while Android is selectedas the client’s device
