<![CDATA[Community Service Program (Kuliah Kerja Nyata or KKN) is a tangible manifestation of the implementation of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education, which integrates the elements of community service, education, and research into a single activity. At UIN Sjech M. Djamil Djambek Bukittinggi, KKN has been conducted regularly; however, it has not yet been fully supported by an integrated information technology-based management system. This study aims to design and develop a web-based KKN management application to improve the efficiency, transparency, and accountability of KKN administration. The application was developed using a Research and Development (R&D) approach, adopting the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) model, which includes the stages of define, design, develop, and disseminate. The system was built using the Laravel framework with PHP as the programming language and MySQL as the database. The system design utilized Unified Modeling Language (UML) tools such as use case and sequence diagrams, which were then implemented into user interfaces and application functionalities. The result of this research is a prototype of a KKN management system that includes features such as student data collection, group assignment, location determination, activity reporting, and real-time monitoring by academic supervisors. The system is expected to support the spirit of the Merdeka Belajar–Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) policy, reduce administrative burdens, and strengthen institutional roles in the supervision and evaluation of KKN programs.]]>
