Abstract: Pulmonary Tuberculosis is still a public health problem in Indonesia. Community participation is needed to control pulmonary tuberculosis through community-based surveillance. Community-based surveillance is based on fast and accurate information expected to come from the community, including case incidence (case finding), description of risk factors. Community-based surveillance has not been optimal in managing pulmonary TB data in the city of Semarang, especially in the search for pulmonary TB suspects. The unavailability of data on pulmonary TB cases that were found and referred to by the community or community organizations illustrates the lack of contribution from the community in finding and referring pulmonary TB cases.In connection with this, a community-based pulmonary TB surveillance information system is needed to help control pulmonary TB tracking. This study aims to develop a community-based pulmonary TB surveillance information system that produces complete, accurate, easily accessible, and timely information. This research is action research using a qualitative approach to help analyze problems and user needs. The development of information systems uses the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) development methodology that includes the stages of planning, system analysis, system design, and system implementation. System testing using Black Box Testing and evaluation of information system acceptance using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) method, involving 34 respondents consisting of cadres and managers of the Public health center for Pulmonary TB program, and the Public Health Office. Black Box Testing shows the system's actions and responses were done well following the system's objectives. The results showed that most respondents gave a high assessment of the existence of benefits (31.48), ease of use (32.13), willingness to use (31.52), and interest in using (31.92). Recommend to the Public Health Office and Public health center the use and implementation of a community-based pulmonary TB surveillance information system in surveillance activities for pulmonary TB in Semarang City.
