<![CDATA[Rural areas have issues with data management, disaster preparedness, and policy-making all due to manual systems. The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate a web-based Information System for Barangay Development Planning through data-driven governance. The system incorporates geospatial and administrative information to improve local decision-making in a disaster-prone area of Barangay Maulong in Catbalogan City, Philippines. By using the Waterfall Model of System Development Life Cycle (SDLC), the system was built using PHP, MySQL, and front-end technologies like HTML, CSS and JavaScript. The software evaluation was done using ISO/IEC 9126 software quality standards and that shows a higher level of user satisfaction with its functionality, reliability, usability, efficiency, maintainability, and portability. The study focuses on the role of information systems to enhance transparency, data accessibility, and participatory governance in the local level. It is recommended that similar systems be adopted by other barangays to improve local governance and disaster resilience across wider regions.]]>
