| description | Indirect method for soil loss predictions are plentiful, one of which is Universal soil-loss equation (USLE) model. Available technology
in mobile applications prompted the authors to develop a tool for calculating soil loss for many land types by transforming the USLE model
into smart mobile application. The application is designed by using simple language for calculating each and every factor and lastly summing up the
results. Factors that are involved in the calculation of soil loss are namely erosivity, erodibility, slope steepness, length of slope, land cover and conservation measures. The program will also be able to give its judgment for each of the prediction of soil loss rates for each and every possible land uses ranging from very light to very heavy. The application is believed to
be useful for land users, students, farmers, planners, companies and government officers. It is shown by conducting usability testing using
usability model, which is designed for mobile application. The results the system in this study
was in “very good” classification, for three characteristics (ease of use, user satisfaction, and learnability). Only attractiveness characteristic that falls into “good” classification. |
