INTRODUCTION
A Community Portal is a website that provides information, knowledge articles,
self-service modules, and a dedicated place for discussion. It could also be developed as a
mobile application. These dedicated online communities serve as a way to educate,
engage, and notify audience members. Content on a community portal should be
regularly updated and contribute to the knowledge base of the community. (Kazmi, 2022)
According to Hunter, a Community Portal is a website that provides relevant
information to a specific group. Local governments and school districts are common
users of online portals as a way to inform their audiences of current news, views, and
activities. An effective portal has regularly updated information, is easy to navigate, and
has a strong online following. It should be dense with up-to-date information that also
links to other websites. A successful online portal is one that has trustworthy content and
a loyal following of regular users who continue to visit the site to find new information.
Also, users are able to use the community portal to look for, discover, follow,
visit, and participate in communities of interest. It is an ideal platform for bringing
people from your community together and increasing their engagement. Community
portals provide a unique platform for your community and create a greater sense of
2

belonging, all of which contribute to the overall strength of your brand and community
power.
In conclusion, Pag-asa Youth Association of the Philippines or PYAP Community
Portal is a community portal that provides youth members, out-of-school youth and other
personnel of Victorias City an efficient and convenient online process. It aims to create a
new youth experience in which they could easily apply for PYAP organizations without

Community Information Portals: Content and Design issues for Information Access
(Philip Hider, 2014)
In 2014, The researcher finds that the challenge facing portals is not a lack of
information, it is the need to improve the mediation between the community services and
people that CI portals promise useful and usable information for. While public libraries
remain integral to the provision of CI in their geographical area, they now form part of a
larger online network for CI provision, involving a wide range of organizations.
Development of a Web Based Decision Support System to Provide Relevant Climate
Indicators for Climate Change Adaption (Heiko Paeth, 2023)
According to Heiko Paeth (2023) The African continent faces various challenges
and numerous risks due to current and future climate change. To strengthen the resilience
of West African societies in the sectors of agriculture, food security, water and risk
management, adaption measures need to be implemented in time. In the WASCAL-
LANDSURF project, an earth system model for West Africa is developed to enable high-
resolution regional climate change information. The obtained data must be accessible to
the public so that interested stakeholders and smallholders can incorporate them into their
decision-making processes. To realize this, a web based spatial decision support system
(SDSS) is developed with state-of-the-art open-source technologies to give information
on climate change as well as relevant cross-sector indicators.

Enhancing The User Experience of Portal Website using User-Centered Design
Method (Rosa Ariani Sukamto, 2020)
According to Sukamto, many of the activities are done online nowadays. The
portal website is one of the websites that the users need to visit. This makes the portal
website need to meet user satisfaction. The user satisfaction can be reached by increasing
the User Experience (UX) value. User-Centered Design (UCD) is a method used to
develop a product by involving users in its development. Products developed using the
UCD method will have a better user experience so that the users will be more
comfortable using the product. The purpose of this research is to improve UX on a portal
website using the UCD method. The initial value and final product value will be assessed
using the User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ).
Telematics for Community Portal Development (Stephen J. Musgrave, 2015)
According to Musgrave, community portals emanate from information and
communication technology (ICT) applied to community networking, enabling citizens to
access information and services on-line. These telematic portal systems are now deployed
globally, facilitating information services to geographic and virtual communities. The
context of this research study is one of community portals deployed by UK government
local authorities for citizen service interactions. To date there have been few studies that
holistically and longitudinally examine the subject of community portals.

OntoWeb – A Semantic Web Community Portal (Daniel Oberle, 2002)

19
VICTORIAS CAMPUS
This paper describes a semantic portal through which knowledge can be gathered, stored,
secured and accessed by members of a certain community. In particular, this portal takes into
account companies and research institutes participating in the E.U. funded thematic network
called OntoWeb. Ontology-based annotation of information is a prerequisite in order to offer the
possibility of knowledge retrieval and extraction. The usage of well-defined semantics allows for
the knowledge exchange between different OntoWeb community members. Thus, members are
able to publish annotated information on the web, which is then crawled by a syndicator and
stored in the portal’s knowledge base. The backbone of the portal architecture consists of a
knowledge base in which the ontology and the instances are stored and maintained. In addition,
ontology-boosted query mechanisms and presentation facilities are provided.

TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
The Pag-Asa Youth Association of the Philippines, Inc. or PYAP is a duly
constituted barangay-based organization of the out-of school-youth between 15-24 years

affiliate organization of the DSWD.
CSWDO employees in Victorias City are quite busy since they have a lot to do, not only
for the youth but also for various social services that include children, women, PWDs,
senior citizens, and others.
However, PYAP organization have evolved over time but have received less
attention. When it comes to applying, most people inquire about them at their barangay
halls. This is done to make it easier for people to apply to or to inquire since they are not
familiar on how to join the PYAP organizations.

To solve this problem by creating a community portal that is accessible through
an online web-based platform. This portal intent to improve and provide an inquiring
