Aplicación móvil utilizando Flutter para el control del acceso a la comunidad de Llimpe Grande

Abstract

In the community of Llimpe Grande, located in Quero canton, Tungurahua province, there were significant limitations in access control management, as they relied on manual methods without electronic assistance or monitoring. This situation put residents at risk and made it difficult to respond to unexpected events or access to restricted areas. Faced with this problem, the objective of this project was to develop and implement a multiplatform mobile application to improve entry and exit procedures in the community. A mixed approach study was conducted using questionnaires and interviews with residents and local authorities to identify key operational needs and assess readiness for mobile technology adoption. The development of the application was carried out using the Mobile-D agile methodology, following a user-centered process. Tools such as Flutter were used for user interface design and programming logic, and Firebase served as the real-time data management system. The result is a mobile application that facilitates community access control by managing online records, verifying identities, assigning roles and sending location-based alerts via an emergency button. Its flexible design allows it to be adapted to other communities that require a technological solution focused on community management.
