The Proposal

Place of Our Hometown : Java Island

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Java Island

Java Island is one of Indonesia’s large archipelagos, situated between Sumatra and Bali Island with total area of 132,000 sq km, and is also categorized as the most populated Island in Indonesia. There almost 125.5 million people live in Java Island. The Island is divided into six provinces, which are DKI (Daerah Khusus Ibu Kota) Jakarta, Banten, West Java, Central Java, DI (Daerah Istimewa) Jogjakarta, and East Java. The population is predominantly Muslim, and includes people of Javanese, Sundanese, and Madurese origin. Java Island is filled with so many traditional arts and cultures, with its richness of the culture; Java Island has become one of the most favorite tourism-destination in Indonesia.

The Background

Basically, why we chose Java Island as our content is because we are coming from Java Island. Sheila and Rio came from DKI Jakarta, and Ferari came from West Java. Java has so many cultures and interesting places to visit for; such as many ancient residuals temples, arts, places, beautiful beaches, traditional houses, Javanese Royal complexes and so on. Those are the reason why we decided to choose Java Island as our interactive application’s content.

The Ideation

We discussed and we conclude that we want to explore tourism aspect in our hometown. We are going to make an interactive application that deceptively leads the audience (user) to experience the journey in Java Island. There will be 3 (three) choices of cities that can be chose by the user, and in each city there will be brief information about it, and a multimedia interactive(s) provided. Basically the application will role as tour guide that provides routes information from the capital Jakarta to the destination, and some brief information and interactive media (it could be video, picture gallery, or playing traditional music) about the chosen city, and if we have much time left, we would like to put a trivia quiz at the end of the exploration of the application.

Target Audience

We targeted this application for foreigners (outside Indonesia) in a range of age between 13 to 70. This Application has a certain function as a guide for foreigners to get to know how, where, and what Java Island looks like especially "the three" chosen provinces, which are West Java, Central Java and Yogyakarta.
