With the vastness of the area, Indonesia has so many and scattered tourist attractions. Indonesia is also a target of tourism by local and foreign tourists. Problems that occur are many tourist attractions that can not be known by tourists so that they experience a severe problem in getting information related to the culinary. One of the problems of information about its existence, which is spread in several locations and knowledge about the area that is not good, especially for tourists from outside the city. Of course, if this is ignored continuously will have a negative impact on culinary tourism, such as the lonely tourists who come to visit in the country of Indonesia. This study provides a solution that is seen from the existing problems; it is necessary to answer the need for fast and more efficient information about culinary attractions in Indonesia, namely by developing an Android-based GIS-based application that provides an easy search for information and culinary tourism locations. User required. Software development uses the waterfall method and tests on users with questionnaires to users. The results of this study, culinary tourism mobile applications that are based on the results of tests carried out obtain a percentage score of 81-100, which can be interpreted that this application is very feasible to use and apply to provide culinary information.

One of the developments in information technology is information about maps known as GIS (Geographic Information System) [1] - [3]. GIS is a technology that combines computers and geographic data from the surface of the earth [2] - [6]. The development of the use of GIS on the web, mobile, and other technologies. With competition, technological developments affect the competition of mobile device maker vendors by providing various features such as GPS (Global Positioning System) and other features. GPS is a system used to determine the location or position on the surface of the earth using satellite signals [7] - [11]. The integration of mobile, GIS, and GPS technologies, enables the development of interactive geographic information system mobile applications. With the support of processors that are increasingly sophisticated mobile can do in real time can be used as a navigation tool, monitoring data traffic density, and others. Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country in the world consisting of 17,499 islands from Sabang to Merauke, so there are so many areas [12]. With extensive and many areas, Indonesia has a tourist spot, one of which is culinary tourism. Indonesia is also a target of tourism by local and foreign tourists. With the development of regions in the city of Indonesia so rapidly that developments from every sub-district exist. This development is not in line with information from culinary attractions so that it is experiencing a severe problem in getting information related to the culinary. One of the problems of information about its existence, which is spread in several locations and knowledge about the area that is not good, especially for tourists from outside the city. Of course, this left continuously will have a negative impact on culinary tourism, such as the lonely tourists who come to visit in the country of Indonesia. This research provides a solution that is seen from the existing problems; it is necessary to answer the need for fast and more efficient information about culinary attractions in Indonesia, namely by developing an Android-based GIS-based application that provides an easy search for information and culinary tourism locations. User needs. II. METHODS A. Research method In developing this geographic information system using the Waterfall system development approach [13]. This approach has four steps, including The first stage is defining and analyzing needs, which results in an analysis of existing 2019 International Conference on Information and Communications Technology (ICOIACT) 978-1-7281-1655-6/19/$31.00 ©2019 IEEE 28
