Abstract

Many valuable items such as clothing, food, and electronics within university communities often go unused and are eventually discarded, contributing to unnecessary waste. At Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM), the absence of a structured platform for donations has limited the ability of students, staff, and affiliated organizations to efficiently redistribute resources to those in need. To address this issue, the E-Gamuda Smart Community system was developed as a web-based platform that facilitates item donations, requests, urgent help, and charity event participation within the campus ecosystem. The system incorporates role-based access control for donors, recipients, and administrators, supported by intuitive dashboards and features such as a real-time map for donation centres. A modular development approach was applied, supported by data flow diagrams (DFD), entity-relationship diagrams (ERD), and structured design models. The system was evaluated through functional, usability, validation, and performance testing, all of which confirmed its effectiveness, reliability, and user-friendliness. The results highlight that the platform not only streamlines donation activities but also reduces resource wastage, enhances trust through verified interactions, and fosters a culture of social responsibility. By aligning with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11 on Sustainable Cities and Communities, the E-Gamuda Smart Community contributes towards building a more sustainable and compassionate university environment.
