This research paper presents the design and development of EcoSense, an Android-based incentivized environmental campaign app, using the Design Science Research Methodology (DSRM). The DSRM approach involved six steps: problem identification, objective definition, design and development, demonstration, and evaluation. The problem of insufficient participation in environmental activities in Indonesia was identified using the Five Whys method, and user requirements were collected through an online survey. Various design artifacts were created to ensure the app is user-friendly, and the app was evaluated based on user engagement and participation. The results suggested that the app has the potential to effectively engage users in environmental campaigns, as evidenced by the relatively high retention and conversion rates. The study has some limitations, such as a small sample size and limited evaluation metrics, but future research can address these limitations and expand on the findings.

According to WHO (2016), 24% of deaths are caused by an unhealthy environment, while IPCC (2014) states that more than 95% of human activity in the last 5 decades has caused an increase in Earth's temperature, and that temperature will rise another 2°C at the end of the 21st century. Therefore, public awareness regarding environmental issues becomes important. EcoSense exists as a digital platform to connect environmental activists with the community to spread awareness and assist them in adopting a green lifestyle. Through the design thinking process, the EcoSense website application is designed with environmental campaign information features, EcoSense information, and environmental news, while the dashboard application features environmental campaign management, participant data and proof of campaigns completion checking. The application is developed with NextJS framework which is built on top of React. This application uses Firebase authentication system and is automatically deployed to the Cloud Run service on Google Cloud Platform via CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions. To support sustainable application development, development and production environments are also separated. Through this application, campaign organizers and campaign participants can be connected. The organizers can manage campaign and participants through the dashboard, while campaign participants can view campaigns from the website, then follow the campaign and get rewards through the mobile application. Cloud computing technology can fully support this application, especially from the deployment aspect.
