Abstract

Environmental conservation initiatives increasingly require transparent and accountable management of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds. However, many CSR-based environmental programs still rely on manual coordination and limited digital transparency, leading to reduced operational efficiency and lower public trust. To address these challenges, this study develops the UI/UX design of the Tanamin Bumi digital platform, a web-based system designed to support CSR fund transparency and environmental activity monitoring in collaboration with Bappeda Litbang Kota Balikpapan. This research employs the Design Thinking approach to create a user-centered and intuitive interface tailored to multiple stakeholders, including companies, government agencies, and the public. The proposed platform integrates several key features, such as digital donation management, environmental campaign monitoring, company partnership profiles, and role-based access control. Usability evaluation was conducted using the System Usability Scale (SUS), resulting in an average score of 87.75, which falls within the “excellent” category and significantly exceeds the standard benchmark score of 68. These findings indicate a high level of usability, effectiveness, and user acceptance. This study contributes by providing a structured UI/UX design framework that integrates digital transparency, CSR management, and smart governance principles into an environmental conservation platform.
