Phuket Mangrove Gastronomy Information System Development

Nowadays, data can be compared as a weapon. Any agency or organization has information that is well managed and be able to transform that data into use like having a weapon that can fight. However, the data must have reliable and up-to-date and meet the needs of users. Management Information System is a collection of data, processing, and creation of an information system to help with the decision-making; coordination and control. It allows administrators to provide data for the benefit of operation or planning analysis of effective information system management in the organization. This paper presents the development of the Phuket Mangrove Gastronomy Information System by software engineering and using Power Query in the collection of mangrove plants data on the use of mangrove plant components in cooking from data that has been published online or in other database systems as well as in the form of files stored on the computer to be the main data of the system. The purpose of developing this system is for the collection of mangrove plants data from various published sources to analyze the data in the form of Management Information System as a resource for food scientists or nutritionists to be able to use information from the system to invent new food menus using components of mangrove plants as raw materials because some components of mangrove plants have properties in the treatment of diseases or prevention of various diseases.
