Yahya Nur Ifriza, & Widhiya Ninsiana Introduction The decline in interest in learning Javanese can be attributed to several factors. First, the influence of globalization and modernization has shifted peopleAos attention away from regional languages, including Javanese, creating challenges for both teachers and students in integrating culturally rooted materials into modern learning contexts (Daniar et al. , 2. The widespread use of Indonesian and foreign languages across media and formal education further diminishes the perceived relevance and necessity of learning Javanese. Second, the limited availability of innovative educational resources and supportive curricula also contributes to this decline (Bilqis et , 2. When school curricula do not emphasize the importance of understanding and preserving Javanese, learnersAo motivation to study the language tends to weaken. Moreover, lifestyle changes influenced by increasingly urban and modern environments play a role in reducing interest in Javanese (Elika & Nurhayati, 2. Individuals heavily exposed to international pop culture may feel that understanding or using Javanese is no longer essential in their daily lives. Therefore, efforts to revitalize interest in learning Javanese must employ creative and contextually relevant approaches that resonate with contemporary experiences (Tahyudin & Sholihati, 2. The development approach used in this research integrates the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and User-Centered Design (UCD). SDLC is a structured system development framework that outlines the main stages of development, typically consisting of five key activities: analysis, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance (Widharma, 2. Meanwhile. UCD is an approach that prioritizes user involvement, both current and potential users, throughout the processes of data collection, design evaluation, and testing (Hartawan, 2. Together, these approaches support the development of digital Javanese literacy initiatives aimed at addressing the ongoing decline in Javanese language use in todayAos digital era. The use of Javanese as part of cultural heritage and tradition has decreased due to the increasing dominance of Indonesian and foreign languages in digital spaces. The development of Novaja. id through the SDLC framework is expected to ensure that the application offers reliable and stable functionality while remaining adaptable to evolving technological demands. SDLC provides a systematic structure for planning, developing, testing, and maintaining applications, which is essential for ensuring the long-term sustainability and effectiveness of Novaja. id (NakiN et , 2. In parallel, the application of User-Centered Design emphasizes the importance of understanding user needs, preferences, and experiences at every stage of development. By centering the design process on users. Novaja. id is expected to become more intuitive, accessible, and aligned with the expectations of Javanese-speaking users, ultimately increasing their interest in reading Javanese novels (Christanto & Singgalen, 2. The proposed problem-solving approach for developing the Novaja. id Javanese Novel Library application consists of a series of planned and structured steps. First, the use of the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) enables the research to proceed systematically from the planning stage through to maintenance, ensuring that each phase of Novaja. idAos development is clearly organized and well executed. These phases include user needs analysis, system design, implementation, testing, and maintenance, with a strong focus on application reliability and Furthermore, the User-Centered Design (UCD) method is applied to prioritize an optimal user experience. This involves identifying potential user characteristics, collecting feedback from users throughout the development process, and tailoring the user interface to their preferences and needs. By actively involving users at every stage of the development cycle. Novaja. id is designed not only to offer adequate technical features but also to remain easily accessible and usable for Javanese-speaking users (Laato et al. , 2. This integrated approach aims to create an application that is not only technically robust but also relevant and user-friendly. By combining SDLC and UCD, this solution is expected to make a positive contribution to Javanese language Diglosia: Jurnal Kajian Bahasa. Sastra, dan Pengajarannya Vol. 8 No. 1167Ai1178 Strengthening Javanese literature material through the Novaja. id application as a form of Javanese cultural preservation literacy and reading interest, address the challenges of the digital era, and support the preservation of local culture. The development of regional language literacy-based applications continue to evolve alongside advancements in technology. Although several applications have been created to enhance regional language literacy, many still face limitations, particularly in integrating comprehensive development methods such as the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and User-Centered Design (UCD) (Sylvain & Chaniaud, 2. Some platforms also lack attention to the long-term sustainability of regional language use in the digital era. In response. Novaja. id, the Javanese Novel Library, offers a more integrated solution by combining a robust development methodology with a user-centered approach (Lidya Maukar et al. , 2. The uniqueness of this research lies in its comprehensive approach to developing a Javanese literacy application by adopting the SDLC framework to ensure a stable and well-tested system and implementing User-Centered Design to create a user-friendly interface (Kim et al. , 2. Its strong focus is on the sustainability of regional languages and literacy positions Novaja. id as an innovative contribution to cultural preservation and the enhancement of reading interest within the Javanese-speaking community, while also serving as a model for the development of similar solutions in other regional cultural and linguistic contexts. The roadmap for the development of the Novaja. id Javanese Novel Library application from 2022 to 2026 begins with planning and needs analysis. In 2023, the system and user interface are designed using the User-Centered Design approach. The year 2024 focuses on implementation and testing, followed by maintenance activities in 2025. Finally, in 2026, the applicationAos impact on literacy and reading interest within the Javanese community will be evaluated. This roadmap reflects a strong commitment to supporting literacy development and preserving Javanese culture . ee Figure . Figure 1. Novaja. id application development roadmap To limit the scope of the discussion, this research focuses on the following core questions, how should the Novaja. id application be developed? Specifically, can the Javanese Novel Library application be effectively developed using the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) approach to ensure optimal reliability, security, and availability and how can the application of UserCentered Design (UCD) improve the Novaja. id user interface so that it aligns with the needs, preferences, and experiences of Javanese language users, thereby increasing their interest in reading and enhancing Javanese language literacy. Method This study employs the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and User-Centered Design (UCD) approaches (Maukar et al. , 2. These approaches were selected to ensure that the Novaja. id application is developed systematically, with a strong focus on user experience and user The research is conducted within a single primary setting, the Javanese Language Study Diglosia: Jurnal Kajian Bahasa. Sastra, dan Pengajarannya Vol. 8 No. 1167Ai1178 Nur Fateah. Subhan. Yahya Nur Ifriza, & Widhiya Ninsiana Program. Faculty of Languages and Arts. Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES), which serves as the site for collecting initial supporting data, conducting trials, and implementing the This setting is intended to support the achievement of key objectives related to the development of the Novaja. id Javanese Novel Library application. The stages carried out in this study began with the design phase, during which a needs analysis and the preparation of an application development plan were conducted. The research team identified and compiled the features to be included based on user needs and research objectives. The next stage involved designing the user interface and application flow (Siregar & Melani, 2. , followed by the creation of an initial prototype to provide a visual representation of the application. During the development stage, the application was built in accordance with the approved design, using the latest technologies to ensure compatibility and smooth performance across various Once development was completed, the application underwent testing to ensure that all features functioned properly. This testing covered functionality, security, and usability aspects. After the application was launched, continuous monitoring and updates were carried out based on user feedback. The research team will continue to make periodic improvements and feature enhancements to ensure long-term performance and user satisfaction. The UCD approach is applied by involving users at every stage of development (Karunia & Hidayati, 2. By prioritizing the user perspective. UCD helps produce an intuitive, efficient, and engaging interface (Han et al. , 2. The activities carried out include collecting data on usersAo needs and expectations for the application, followed by conducting testing sessions in which users try the application and provide feedback. This process helps the team identify problems and refine the interface (Hartawan, 2. The type of research data used in this study is mixed-methods, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative data to support the analysis.

In addition, thematic analysis of survey data was conducted, focusing on the categorization of themes or patterns that emerge from open-ended responses, such as usersAo reasons for being interested in reading Javanese novels. This research employed several data collection techniques, namely: surveys, using questionnaires to collect data from users regarding their needs and preferences. conducting in-depth interviews with selected users to obtain more detailed information. observations, observing user interactions with the application to gain a direct understanding of their and literature review, gathering information from relevant literature and previous research related to the topic. The validity of the data in this study was ensured through several methods, namely validity, reliability, and triangulation. Validity was maintained by designing data collection instruments, such as questionnaires and interview guides, so that the questions accurately reflected the needs and preferences of application users. Reliability was ensured by repeating the data collection process using the same methods to obtain consistent results. Triangulation was carried out by combining various data collection techniques, including surveys, interviews, observations, and usability testing, enabling the verification of findings from multiple sources and thereby increasing the validity and credibility of the data. Through these steps, the research is expected to produce valid, reliable, and accountable results. The analysis techniques used in this study include both qualitative and quantitative Qualitative analysis was conducted using thematic analysis to identify patterns and Diglosia: Jurnal Kajian Bahasa.

Quantitative analysis involved the use of descriptive and inferential statistics to examine survey data and present the findings in the form of graphs or tables. In addition, hypothesis testing was performed using statistical tests to examine assumptions regarding the relationships between variables in the quantitative data. Data obtained from usability testing and user feedback are analyzed using both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The results of these analyses are used to evaluate the level of user satisfaction and the effectiveness of the application in increasing reading interest. To ensure that the research is carried out efficiently, the following research schedule was prepared. Results and Discussion The research results are descriptive in nature, connecting the findings with relevant theories and previous studies. Numerical data from the testing phase demonstrate both the level of user satisfaction and the effectiveness of the Novaja. id application interface in increasing interest in reading Javanese literature. For instance, survey results show that 85% of users were satisfied with the application's ease of navigation, while 78% reported an increase in their reading interest after using the application. These survey outcomes are based directly on user feedback. These findings are consistent with previous research showing that a well-designed user interface can enhance user experience and encourage reading interest (Tahyudin & Sholihati, 2. The quantitative data thus provide strong evidence of the application's success in achieving the research objectives. Planning and Needs Analysis The survey results indicate that users require an application that is easy to use, equipped with an intuitive interface, and supported by rich and diverse content. They also expect features such as search functionality and novel categorization based on genre and author. The Novaja. application is designed to address the limitations of existing digital platforms that provide access to Javanese novels. Recognizing the importance of preserving the Javanese language and its literary heritage. Novaja. id aims to serve as a resource that is easily accessible to the general public, especially younger generations, so they can better understand and appreciate literary works in their regional language.

User Interface Design Based on User-Centered Design (UCD) principles, the Novaja. id interface is designed to be user-friendly, with clear navigation, contrasting colors, and easy-to-read typography (Arif et al. The user personas developed in this study indicate that the majority of users are students, particularly secondary school and university-level learners, with a relatively high level of digital Therefore. Novaja. id has been designed by carefully considering the needs and preferences of these primary users. The main aspects implemented include: first, clear navigation: ensuring that users can easily find the information or features they need without confusion. Second, contrasting colors: using color combinations that make interface elements easy to see and distinguish, thereby increasing readability and visual comfort. Third, easy-to-read typography: selecting appropriate font types and sizes to ensure that text can be read comfortably by users. Forth, user personas: focusing on students with relatively high digital literacy ensures that the interface supports their technological capabilities while remaining intuitive, efficient, and accessible. A low-fidelity interface is an early representation or simple prototype of a user interface (UI) design created with minimal detail, which does not yet depict the final product, similar to a sketch. Its main purpose is to test basic ideas and concepts before investing significant time and resources in developing a more detailed and refined design. Low-fidelity interfaces typically use rough blackand-white lines, basic geometric shapes, and placeholder text. They do not include details such as colors, images, or complex typography. Instead, these prototypes emphasize the arrangement of elements, navigation, and user flow rather than visual appearance and aesthetics. Diglosia: Jurnal Kajian Bahasa. Sastra, dan Pengajarannya Vol. 8 No. 1167Ai1178 Strengthening Javanese literature material through the Novaja. id application as a form of Javanese cultural preservation Because they require relatively little time and effort to produce, low-fidelity prototypes can be quickly created, modified, and tested. They are often used in the early stages of development to obtain feedback from users or stakeholders so that major changes can be made at low cost. Many low-fidelity interfaces are created by hand using simple tools such as paper and pencil, although various software tools are also available to support low-fidelity prototyping . ee Figure .

The implementation process followed the planned timeline, with core features such as search functionality, category organization, and user data storage successfully implemented (Pargaonkar, 2. The use of a Content Management System (CMS) facilitated efficient creation and management of digital content without requiring extensive technical or programming expertise (Huda & Priyatna, 2. WordPress, one of the most widely used CMS platforms globally, was utilized due to its flexibility and capacity to support a wide range of web applications, from simple blogs to complex ecommerce systems . ee Figure . Figure 4. Novaja. id Application Testing and Maintenance Usability testing showed that most users were satisfied with the application's user interface and overall functionality (Dasmen et al. , 2. Several minor issues identified during testingAisuch as slightly longer loading times on low-spec devicesAiwere subsequently addressed and resolved. User feedback will continue to be collected to support the development of future versions of the In addition, black-box testing was conducted as part of the evaluation process. Blackbox testing is a software testing method in which the tester assesses the functionality of an application without having access to internal details such as source code or system architecture (Pratama et al. , 2. This method focuses on evaluating inputs and outputs to ensure that the system performs according to the established specifications (Christian et al. , 2. The use of SDLC and UCD methods in the development of the Novaja. id application has proven effective. SDLC ensures a systematic development process, from planning to maintenance, while UCD ensures that user needs, and preferences are at the center of every stage of development. Advantages success in development: The application was successfully developed according to plan, with the features desired by users. This shows that the implementation of SDLC has succeeded in maintaining the timeline and quality of the product. Focus on users: The implementation of UCD makes the application more user- friendly, as evidenced by the results of usability testing. Users find the application interface intuitive and easy to use. The disadvantages are time and resources: The iterative UCD process requires more time and resources, which can be a challenge if there are budget or time constraints. Adaptation to feedback: The application needs to be continuously developed to adapt to changing user needs. Therefore, improvements and additions to features must be made periodically.
