Task List

The interaction design for web emergency management information systems (WEMIS) is an important aspect to keep in mind due to the criticality of the domain: decision making, updating available resources, defining a task list, and trusting in proposed information. A common interaction design strategy for WEMIS seems to be needed, but currently there are few references in literature. The aim of this study is to contribute to this lack with a set of interactive principles for WEMIS. From the emergency point of view, existing WEMIS have been analyzed to extract common features and to design interactive principles for emergency. Furthermore, the authors studied design principles extracted from a well-known (DERMIS) model relating them to emergency phases and features. The result proposed here is a set of design principles for supporting interactive properties for WEMIS. Finally, two case studies have been considered as applications of proposed design principles.

Emergency Responders

Emergency responders at the local community level are the prime actors concerning emergency management. It has been claimed that information systems have considerable potential to support emergency management. However, development of such systems is demanding, due to the complexity of emergency management. The ability to be able to reveal the stakeholders' needs for support are essential for successful system developments. The objective of this paper is to explore the rationale for emergency management information systems at the local community level. This was accomplished by an extensive needs assessment based on 49 governing documents and 12 interviews with representatives for local as well as regional emergency response organizations. The analysis uncovered eleven areas where emergency management information systems could enhance the capability of local communities' to manage emergencies. The identified needs categories are proposed to constitute a foundation for design patterns for the development of emergency management information systems for local communities.

Related Data

Soil and crops, as biosystems, are heterogeneous and can present (or not) high variability. To properly manages then information is required. In this respect, the latest advances in computing and electronics applied to agricultural have allowed collecting a large amount of farm-related data. However, data can only add value to the farmer if it is transformed into a knowledge base for them. The adoption of a Farm Management Information Systems (FMIS) enables farm-decision makers (farmer, agricultural technician…) better management of the farm and all resources.

The Impact

  This study aimed at identifying the impact of management information systems on the administrative decision-making process at King Abdul-Aziz University in Jeddah from the administrative and technical staff standpoint who working at the university. In addition, to achieve this goal the descriptive and analytical approach was used. The problem of the study represents the challenges imposed by the external environment. The questionnaire initial data were distributed and (397) responses were obtained from the sample members. The study revealed several results that the most important to use programs related to management information systems which has a positive and effective impact on decision-making at King Abdul-Aziz University. Based on the results of the study, presenting a number of recommendations, involving the necessity to build databases for management information systems that can be referred to at any time to support administrative decision-makers and employee use them in solving numerous work problems.
