【 摘 要 】

Pugo, branded as the woodcarving capital of La Union, is well known for woodcarving products. The town has skillful tribes who practice woodcarving. One of these tribes was the Ifugaos, and when they learned that the art of woodcarving could make money for them, a wave of Ifugaos migrated along the Marcos Highway to showcase their hand-carved wood products. The widespread of woodcarving business was due to the availability of the raw materials, tools used and durability of the product. Home decors, furniture and other sculptural forms made out of wood are some of the products that are now distributed in the market. This research was then conceptualized for the benefit of the woodcarving industry stakeholders. The researchers proposed the KITIKIT, a mobile app to ease the searching for hand-carved wood products. Usability testing using USE questionnaire had been conducted to find the level of usability of the KITIKIT. The results show that the proposed application is acceptable to users in terms of usefulness, ease of use and satisfaction.
