Redesign Of Ipusnas (Indonesian E-book Reader App) With User-centered Design Method
Abstract
Recognizing the importance of literacy as a fundamental human resources right, Indonesia has
launched the National Literacy Movement to accelerate human resource development and
cultivate a culture of literacy. As Indonesia prepares for the Golden Generation of 2045, which
marks the country's 100th year, the nation acknowledges the critical role of human resources in
sustaining its progress. However, population expansion, driven by a high birth rate during the
pandemic, presents both opportunities and challenges. Improper utilization of this demographic
shift could lead to socio-economic issues such as poverty, poor health, unemployment, and
increased crime rates. Acknowledging the lack of public interest in reading in the digital era, the
government has responded by leveraging technology. With a considerable number of smartphone
users and the introduction of the iPusnas digital library application, Indonesia aims to promote
reading and improve access to books. However, user reviews have highlighted concerns
regarding the application's usability, including difficulties in searching for specific books and
issues with the sign-up process. To address these concerns and improve the user experience, the
author proposes a research project focusing on the redesign of the iPusnas android mobile
application to ensure that user needs and feedback influence the development process.
