Abstract
The Research and Community Service Information System of LPPM University Lancang Kuning is a web-based application designed to facilitate research and community service activities at the university. This study incorporated two methodologies: a descriptive approach with qualitative analysis for heuristic data collection, and the System Usability Scale (SUS) method, employing quantitative analysis. The research process included stages of problem analysis, literature review, data collection, data analysis, and formulating recommendations based on the findings and discussions. The heuristic evaluation, the first method applied, revealed that aspects H1, H3, and H4 scored 1 when rounded, indicating these were merely cosmetic issues not requiring immediate attention unless spare time was available. Conversely, aspects H2, H5, H6, H7, H8, H9, and H10 scored 2 when rounded, categorizing them as minor usability issues needing resolution, albeit with low priority, to prevent potential user difficulties. Recommendations for these seven heuristic aspects scoring 2 encompassed improvements in system information clarity, feedback processes, image utilization, color selection, grammar quality, and writing consistency. The second method, the SUS, indicated that most users demonstrated adequate skills in terms of learnability, efficiency, memorability, error management, and overall satisfaction with their system usage experience.
