Data Visualization of Abaca Production in Catanduanes

Published: 27 July 2018 Publication History

Abstract

This research draws inspiration from the desire to help sustain and boost the production of abaca in Catanduanes being the topmost abaca producing province in the Philippines through an information campaign in a website with the application of data visualization tools and techniques. Result of this research will draw attention about the usefulness and benefits that could be derived through the production of abaca in uplifting the socio-economic status and standard of living of farmers. Likewise, this research would also support the rural development program of the government on embracing climate-resilient ecological farming practices to adjust to climate change. Sustainability of the abaca production in the province means ensuring vibrancy of economy especially for the abaca farmers. Demographic data about abaca production were obtained from the abaca concerned government offices in Catanduanes. Documentary analysis, Interview, Website development and evaluation were the methodologies employed in this investigation. Likewise, a survey questionnaire was utilized to gather data about the usability of the website from the persons from government agencies that are concerned on abaca and website development. Three (3) criteria were used to evaluate the usability of the website - usefulness, ease of use and satisfaction. Frequency count and weighted mean were the statistics used in analyzing the responses and the respondents have generally evaluated the developed website as "Strongly Agree".
