<![CDATA[This journal Interactive Maps for Visualizing Palm Oil Plantation Data in Indonesia is related to software development process. The idea started from recognizing the opportunity to visualize information about palm oil plantation using interactive map with the aim of making information easier to find and increasing the attentiveness related information about pam oil plantation. The information is statistical data shown in tabular form in “National Leading Plantation Statistics” book which is published periodically every year and publicly accessed via official website of Directorate General of Plantations. The prototype approach chosen as Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) methodology. This journal as an output after the initial prototype was built and usability testing was carried out. The initial prototype was implemented using several tools, one of the tools that significant in data visualization is the Plotly library in python programming language. The initial prototype implemented as a website and the interactive map displays several information such as production distribution, land area and other information as data per province in Indonesia. Usability testing is accomplished by inviting potential users to become respondents. Respondent tried the product and carried through specified tasks and then answered a questionnaire which is the questions were designed to observed whether the research objectives were successfully achieved. The results of the questionnaire showed that the product helps users find information better than statistical data in tabular form and increases user interest in palm oil plantations. Some inputs from user also used as a reference for future development of the product.]]>
