Abstract-- UCD (User Centered Design) is a design philosophy of
putting users at the center of a system development process. The
difficulties experienced by the tourists who visited West Sumatra
during traveling is in communicating which can be helped by
using UCD method. The approach using UCD method has been
supported by various techniques, methods, tools, procedures and
processes that help to design more user-centered applications. In
the UCD method the user is at the level of design sophistication of
all interfaces used based on the guide application. In making the
application, the tool used in designing tourist guide application
design is using Unified Modeling Language (UML). Data
excavation is done by interview and observation to the end user,
and library study. Tour guide application built using eclipse with
SQLite database storage media. The result of this design is
expected to provide convenience to the tourists in making tourism
