This study aimed to analyze, design, and develop a system to assist in analyzing relevant data for the National Greening Program (NGP) and to identify areas in need of intervention. Specifically, the system focused on gathering socio-economic and demographic data from beneficiaries to inform decision-making and improve program effectiveness. The system was evaluated using the System Usability Scale (SUS), a recognized instrument for assessing usability and overall user satisfaction. Data were collected from 24 beneficiaries, and statistical analysis was applied to assess the significance of the results. The system successfully generated detailed Socioeconomic and Demographic Profiles of People’s Organizations (POs) involved in the NGP, providing valuable insights into income levels, education, employment status, and land ownership. Findings revealed that the system is highly usable, secure, and effective. It also demonstrated strong functionality, with the ability to process and visualize complex data sets. By examining socio-economic factors such as income, education, and employment, the system identified barriers to participation in the NGP and highlighted areas where targeted support was needed, such as financial assistance or educational programs. Additionally, the demographic analysis provided insights into age distribution, gender representation, and geographic location, which are critical for optimizing recruitment, training, and capacity-building initiatives. The study concludes that the system is a valuable tool for enhancing the NGP’s efficiency and transparency. It recommends that the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) implement the system to support data-driven decision-making and improve the program’s long-term sustainability. Future improvements could include predictive features to guide strategic interventions further.
