CHAPTER ONE: Introduction of whole project process

1.1 Introduction
This project is a web based system for an existing manual agricultural information system. In Gamo
Gofa zone despite having an agricultural based economy does not have a system of this nature.
Gamo Gofa is an agricultural zone; so this information system used for Gamo Gofa Zone
Agriculture Office. As information system this technology performs controlling roles from Zone
office to each Woreda office. So this information system is very important requirement to transfer
information online.

1.2 Background of the Organization

Gamo Gofa Zone Agricultural Development Office is located in the Ethiopian Southern Nations
Nationalities and Peoples' Region (SNNPR).Gamo Gofa is bordered on the south by the Dirashe
Special Woreda, on the south west by Debub (South) Omo and the Basketo Special Woreda, on
the northwest by Konta Special Woreda, on the north by Dawro and Wolayita, on the northeast by
the Lake Abaya which separates it from the Oromia Region, and on the southeast by the Amaro
Special Woreda. The administrative center of Gamo Gofa zone is Arba Minch. In Gamo Gofa Zone
about 85% of the people are occupied in agriculture. The State is one of the major teff grain
producing areas in the country. The major crops are barley, maize, wheat,teff, cotton, and
sugarcane are produced in large quantities. This data was discovered by persons assigned at
Agriculture development Office located at Secha Arba Minch.

1.2.1 Vision
In 2017 the zone aspires to be center of excellence in agricultural and environmental training and
also increase productivity research in Ethiopia.

1.5 Statement of the problem

In Gamo Gofa Zone the current situation is manual system so it’s difficult to know the overall
information of farming materials like fertilizer, seed and insecticide in each Woreda that is required
to produce a good production. The manual system is time consuming and boring. It also makes the
estimation more complicated.

Generally we list the problem in the following points:

 Prone to error (information of one office may recorded in different places with different
information).
 It consumes more time and effort for doing the day to day activities.
 Since processes are being manually implemented, they need much man power.
 The communication from Zone to Woreda office by letters so it consumes time.
 Persistent data storage and management is difficult  Not accurate.
 Decrease in data completeness.

FINAL YEAR
PROJECT
2016/17 4
Web Based Information Management System For Gamo Gofa Zone Agriculture

Sector

 Response rates are systematically low in some cases (e.g. machinery and pesticides).

1.6 Objectives of the Project

The project would have the following general and specific objective.

1.6.1 General Objective

The main objective of this project is to introduce web based information system for Gamo Gofa
zone agricultural sector; change the manual system into web based system.

1.6.2 Specific objective

The aim of this project is to develop a web based information system with the following specific
objectives:
 Identify the problems of the existing system,

 Perform requirement analysis,

 Design the architecture for the proposed system,

 Develop user friendly and interactive system,  Test the developed system.

1.7 Significance of the project

Web based agricultural information system is a technology that uses internet connection to share
the farming data in order to analyze the amount of farming materials required each year. This
system minimizes the set of problem in traditional estimation technique.
In general the system has the following benefits:
 Reduce the time and resource required to transfer information or data between Zone and
Woreda.
 Easy data storage and management.
 Reducing the probability of errors.
 Provide timely and well organized information.
 Reduce time to search the particular data.

FINAL YEAR

 Increase the fertility, productivity and marketing system of the agricultural sectors.

1.8 Feasibility Analysis

Feasibility study is made to see if the project on completion will serve the purpose of the
organization for the amount of work, effort and the time that spent on it lets the developer predict
the future of the project and the usefulness.
By using the gathered information on the requirements for web based information system provider
we do feasibility study from different perspectives.

1.8.1 Economic feasibility

One of the main influences to the new system is to minimize capitals that will be needed to generate
accurate information. In the new system the employees need to have web based system that they
directly read the information needed right on their own office. This leads to a more accurate data
that will be reported to the office in charge and that estimation will be more accurate. It’s free so
no need to use any cost. Intangible benefit:-
 Moral satisfaction
 Work initiation
Tangible benefit:-
 Cost reduction ,
 Increase system efficiency
 Proper use of time and resource

1.8.2 Technical Feasibility

The proposed system can be technically feasible because it doesn’t require any technical expert
and also we would develop this system by familiar programming language like, HTML, PHP
languages.

CHAPTER TWO: Description of the Existing System

2.1 Existing System
A detailed study of the process has been made by techniques like interviews and observation.
And we have analyzed the operations of the existing system. The operations of existing system
are done in hierarchy. Which means the work is divided in levels:

 Woreda Level
 Zone Level and

In Woreda Level: some corrections will be given to the report which came from the kebeles. They
also aggregate the total sum of the demands of all the kebeles. In this level there is a form paper.
In this form paper they put the total of the demands of all kebeles. In addition to this they also put
the production GDP of last year; this is useful for estimating the demand of the coming year. Once
finished they make copies of it and submit to next level, i.e. zone level.

Zone Level: this level is the same as the Woreda level. The only difference is the inputs for the
Woreda are kebele’s where as the inputs for this level are Woreda. What they do in this level is,
FINAL YEAR
PROJECT
2016/17 10
Web Based Information Management System For Gamo Gofa Zone Agriculture

Sector

they put the sum total of the demands of all Woreda and give a correction if there is any. In giving
correction they analyze the production GDP of the previous year of each Woreda. Then they put
the production GDP to the zone and submit it to the regional office.

The drawback of this system can be visualized as:

 Time drawback and

 Economical drawback.

Time: In the existing system as discussed above there are different levels that are connected
manually, for this particular reason sharing of information is time consuming.

Economical: The capital invested to collect the data is of a huge amount. The first thing done in
order to collect the data is printing the form paper. This requires a lot of papers, so it requires a
great deal of money. In addition to that the government should have to pay money for the people
involved in the collection of the details from the farmers. The capital for transportation must also
be taken into consideration.

Economical drawbacks after distributing: the drawbacks we see above lead to under estimation
of demands, so that the agro office will not be able to get the amount of materials or resources they
need. This leads to the decrease in the Production GDP of the country. On the other hand it results
in the under success of the goal or the plan.

2.2 Players in the existing system

In Existing systems there are different actors that use manual operation. The following actors are
listed below:

 Agricultural data collection office worker (ADCOW): who is working agricultural

data collection office and have limited privilege, which is determined by the
administrator

 Administrator: is the one who is working on some office as a manager. He/she has the
power to control other staffs in that office

2.3 Major functions/Activities in the Existing System like Inputs, Processes &
Output
Input:
The office takes the following components as an input to provide the information within the office.
 Agro office name
 Location Processes:
The agricultural office performs the following operations while proving information to the farmers.
 Verifying the office name.
 Verify the office location.
 Manage the time for each information
Output:
After taking the above inputs and processing them the office provides the following results or out
puts.

 Share full information between the office

 Will able to generate reports for the allocation or estimation of farming needs such as
materials

2.4 Existing system business rule

 The collected data should be submitted before deadline.
 The analysis should be done after all the collected data are submitted.

2.5 Report generated in the existing system

In the current system, report is generated by consolidating all the data gathered by the employee in
the form of paper, after which the report will be submitted to the zone level and to be forwarded
to the manager.

2.6 Forms and other documents of the existing systems

Currently, Zone office uses forms and reports to distribute farming materials and to manipulate
different records associated with different activities. From those forms, some are Woreda’s
registration form.

2.7 Bottlenecks of the existing system

The present system of Zone Office is prone to various problems. These problems can be seen from
the following perspectives like performance, information, economic, control, efficiency and
services given by the existing system to the office, by using the PIECES framework as follows.

2.7.1Performance
Since the system is designed to be accessed by different offices’ with different needs of
information, it is capable of handling and processing their information quickly. The current
system’s performance of distributing information is weak. This is due to the following reasons,
first the acceptable throughput rate is relatively high land i.e. the time required from initiation to
completion of a particular task is relatively high. For example when the Woreda office want to get
information about crop production, he may go to the Zone office or may sends letters to Zone for
they question and the Zone office will respond to him according to the available data they have
and the time they could spent for every inquiry. The response time will depend how fast they will

FINAL YEAR
PROJECT
2016/17 14
Web Based Information Management System For Gamo Gofa Zone Agriculture

Sector

respond for every inquiry and the availability of data they have in their records. Since it is a manual
operation, long waiting time is expected.

2.7.2 Information
The main input in the current system are the data gathered by the Woreda office from the farmers,
and this data will be the basis for the office to make estimation on the materials needed by particular
farmers.

2.7.3 Economical
The Zone Office performs all of its tasks manually which requires much of the work to be done by
manpower, and requires huge amount of papers for the manual storage of data on papers, which
lead the manual system to spend much money for human resource and for purchasing papers and
other materials.

2.7.4 Controlling
Since all the records associated with the manual system are recorded and stored manually the
security that the system provides for the privacy of this records is not reliable. The system cannot
provide sufficient protection for access and manipulation of the records associated with the system.

2.7.5 Efficiency
As we mentioned earlier, the Zone Office system encountered many problems such as: unnecessary
information redundancy, consumption of cost and time and needs more labor to teach the farmers.
Hence, the existing manual system requires enhancement to meet its optimum efficiency.

2.8 Practices to be preserved

In the present system, most of the main activities that are performed in the current system have
been preserved by manual replication of those activities. Every activity that is applicable to the
system are designed and automated to achieve the best functionality. The team also developed new
web based system that is information system for Zone Office.

2.9 Proposed System

The proposed system is a new system that is a web based agricultural information sharing system.
The system provides reduces the manual work; reduce time and resource needed in the existing
system, and the capital that will be invested.

The proposed system can give almost all of the functionalities that the existing system gives. And
minimize the hierarchical structure. The information is filled out by Zone office using web base
and it is submitted to the Woreda office. The zone office can be post news and events, generate
report, response solution, view feedback, give information about land use management, view the
crop production that can be sent from Woreda office, update information and in emergency case
happen they can be response, then the Woreda office can be see the new and events, also they can
send major crop production, view different types of information, send report, send feedback,

2.10 Requirements of the Proposed System

The following are functional and Nonfunctional requirements of the proposed new system that a
group member have identified are listed below.
2.10.1 Functional requirements
The function requirement is the functionality that the system can be done. The functionality of web
base monitoring can be the zone office generate report, land use management, post news and
events, response in emergency, target annual plan, give information about production and
productivity, distribution seed and fertilizer, view type of crop production, and also the Woreda
office can be view solution, view different type of information, see news and events, see emergency
response, send feedback, send report.

Input related requirements

 The system should user name and password
 The system shall validate and authenticate the users’ username and password  The system
should validate the data entry.

 The system allows admin to view the user account.

Storage Related Requirements

• The system will store all the different information of the Zone office and Woreda
office.
• The system store all product and user detail information
2.10.2 Non Functional requirements
A non-functional requirement is a requirement that specifies criteria that can be used to judge the
operation of a system, rather than specific behaviors. It defines how a system is supposed to be.
Non-functional requirements are often called qualities of a system

Performance
Focus should be kept on monitoring and managing the performance and service availability of
software. The system should be available 90% of the time, because of their power fluctuations 10%
the system may be down. The system can assume to support more than 100 concurrent requests at
once. To achieve efficiency this system use mysql server database, this is efficient in query and
processing.
User Interface
 The designed systems’ user interface graphics will reflects the system.
 The user interface will be light weight and easy to use and manage.
 The designed user interface will be attractive.
Security and Access permissions

Security requirement are important factors in this system as classified data/information will be
stored in the database. User validation will be done during login to ensure that the user is valid and
that the user only has access to his/her permitted information.
Backup and Recovery
The proposed system can be damaged or fail if there is virus attack and continuous power
disconnection from the source station and the data can be lost at that time. The system should be
holding a backup of the data by using different storage devices like Hard disk, CD, DVD Flash.
The backup can be performs in a week at middle night 6:00 pm because of no works perform at
this time.

CHAPTER THREE: System analysis

3.1 Introduction System Analysis

In this project, the team used an object oriented system development methodology which
incorporates two principal phases. These principal phases are Object-Oriented Analysis and
Object-oriented Design. This chapter discusses the first phase of the methodology: object oriented
analysis (OOA).
During Object Oriented Analysis the following major activities are performed. System
Requirement Specifications (SRS), Use case modeling and documentation (for each use case
identified), and the development of sequence and activity diagrams, user interface prototyping, and
supplementary specifications.

CHAPTER FOUR:- SYSTEM DESIGN

4.1 Introduction to System Design

This project is designed in a manner that solves the problems of Gamo Gofa Zone Agriculture
Office by minimizing the work load that appears on the employees because of the existing system
is manual. In this project design we try to show how the project is designed. It designed to simplify
function of the manual system and it is capable of doing large amount of works in short period of
time. The goal of system design according to the proposed project is to manage complexity by
dividing the system into smaller and manageable pieces. It mainly focuses on the different types
of class type architectures, such as user interface layer, process/control layer, business /domain
layer, persistent layer, and system layer and also different types of system modeling techniques
that are used for the implementation types of the system such as class modeling, state chart
modeling, component modeling, deployment modeling, persistence modeling and also some
system design techniques such as user interface designing are also to be covered in this design
chapter.

4.2 Class Type Architecture

User interface layer

This Layer is the form which provides the application to either programmer or end user.

Process layer

This Layer implements business logic that involves collaborating with several domain classes or even
other process classes.

Domain layer

FINAL YEAR PROJECT 2016/17 49

Web Based Information Management System For Gamo Gofa Zone Agriculture

Sector

This layer is used to transfer data from application layer or presentation layer to data layer. This layer is
also used when a class variables are declared corresponding to the fields of the database

FINAL YEAR PROJECT 2016/17 50

Web Based Information Management System For Gamo Gofa Zone Agriculture

Sector

which can be required for the application and make the properties. So that, the team can gets or sets
the data using these properties into the variables.

Persistence layer

This layer encapsulates the capability to store, retrieve, and delete objects/data permanently
without revealing details of the underlying storage technology. This layer is also a class to get or
set data to the database queries back and forth.

System layer

This Layer provides operating-system-specific functionality for our applications, isolating our
software from the operating system (OS) by wrapping OS-specific features, increasing the
portability of our application.

4.3 Class Modeling

These classes specify the common structure and behavior of a set of objects in the web based
information system for Gamo Gofa agriculture sector. In this modeling the team’s members have

4.4 State Chart Modeling
State chart modeling is used to show the sequence of states that an object goes through, the events
that cause the transition from one state to the other and the actions that result from a state change.
The team used to design the behaviors of the objects by drawing the state diagram. The state chart
diagram depicts the state of objects as their attributes change from one state to the other state.

4.6 Component Modeling

Component diagrams are different in terms of nature and behavior. Component diagrams are
used to model physical aspects of a system. Physical aspects are the elements like executable,
libraries, files, documents etc that resides in a node. So component diagrams are used to
visualize the organization and relationships among components in a system. These diagrams are
also used to make executable systems.

Chapter Five: Implementation and Testing

5.1 Introduction to Implementation and Testing
The implementation phase is the critical phase in which it transform the design and analysis of the
system in to tangible system by writing the code to the system to be developed and make is
operational and applicable by testing debugging the functionalities that are done. This phase
involves the construction of the actual result. During this phase the project become visible to
outsiders, to whom it may appear that the project has just began. This makes the implementation
stage more essential step to develop the required system. So, it is the most Vital and necessary
stage in archiving successful system and in giving the users that the new system will work and be
effective by testing the system that is already implemented. The main objective of this phase is
generally is to deploy and enable operation of the new information system in the production
environment.
During implementation and operation, physical design specification must be turned into working
computer code, and then the code is tested until most of the errors have been detected and
corrected. The user sites are prepared for new system and user must come totally on the new system
rather than the existing. There are some managerial activities in this, coding and testing.

5.2 Final Testing procedures of The System

It is the final step of testing in which the entire system as a whole with all forms, code, and modules
are tested. In this procedure we have tested all the functionalities of the System. All errors in the
forms, functions, modules have been tested. Finally System testing ensures that the entire
integrated software system meets the desired requirements. It tests a configuration to ensure known
and predictable results. To the test whole system the team follows the following procedures.
 Unit Testing:-Every module of the System is separately tested. I.e. the team tests every
module by applying some selection mechanism. Through this mechanism every modules
gets tested. If an error occurs correction will be taken without affecting another module.

 Integrated Testing: -In this testing part, all the modules will be combined together and
tested it for its fitness with each other and with the systems functionality. If error occurs in
combining them, the module with problem will be identified and recombined.
 Black Box Testing: -The team has conducted this testing procedure to evaluate only the
outputs generated in response to selected inputs and execution conditions.
 White Box Testing: -The team has conducted this testing procedure during writing the
code for each desired components of the system to check if the written code is working
properly or not.
 Functional (Black Box Testing) and System Testing: - In this testing, the team performs
over all functional testing by checking whether it meets or not meets the required target.
 Compatibility Testing:-
 Hardware Compatibility test- the system is compatible with all the Hardware and Software
listed under the Hardware and Software Acquisitions.
 Software compatibility test – the system is compatible with all the software listed under
the development tools table.
 User Interface Testing:- the team has conducted this testing procedure to evaluate the
GUI elements like field forms drop down box, input type length, radio button are work
properly and suitable for the users. As a result all of these components are working
properly.
 Usability Testing: -The team has conducted this testing procedure to evaluate the extent
to which a user can learn to operate, prepare inputs for, and interpret outputs of a system
or component and the system’s user friendless.

5.5. User Manual Preparation

The team has prepared a user manual entitled as a help in our system home page navigation bar that
can guide users when they get any confusion during their usage.

How to use the system?

In order to access the system, first of all every user must have an account or permission from
system administrator. So, system administrator should have to create an account for every user like
employee of zone and Woreda. Users should enter to the system parts by using their individual
Username and password and also with the role given to them. These Username and password is
created by the system administrator. Finally the Employee of zone and Woreda can access the
system by using their Username and Password.

5.5 Training
During the deployment of the system, the team will give short time training for the system
administrators and Agricultural Expert explaining how the system works and in what way
they can manage their system.

5.6 Installation Process

Since the project is a web based System, there is no need to install it on a particular machine rather it will
be hosted on a web server. Database server will also be configured.

5.7 Start-up strategy

Once the system is hosted, it has two start-up strategies: the first start-up strategy is for the
administrator and users which require the username and password to access the system in both
cases for the administrator and users. The second start-up strategy part is the system home page
which does not require the username and password and it can be viewed by anybody.

Chapter Six-Conclusion and Recommendation

6.1 Conclusion
In this project, we develop a web based system that facilitates Agro office information provider
activities. The web based system enables the user to know activities like view information about
the fertilizer, view information about crop production, view information about seeds, view the
solution, view complains, upload news, response solution and sends complains.

Our model contains analysis model which contains the functional and non- functional
requirements, use case, sequence, state chart, activity diagram, conceptual modeling of classes and
user interface prototypes. And also contains Design Model which consists Class modeling,
Component Modeling, Deployment Modeling, Persistence modeling of classes.

6.2 Recommendation
While doing this system the team has faced different challenges. But by the cooperation of all the group
members, advisor and examiners the team is now able to reach the final result.

We recommend that when the Agro office use this web based system, it solves the problems in the
current system. Most of the time has been taken for understanding the working of existing system,

FINAL

Sector

how communications are going on in existing system between zone and Woreda office and what
problems are there in the existing system. Finally we recommend that when the functional
requirements that are not completed by us, are fulfilled by the next generation this system is very
useful to handle the Web based information management system for Gamo Gofa zone agricultural
sector.
