Abstract

Introduction: The Information Architecture aims to make more visible and organized all contents on the web in order to facilitate access to information. Objective: to propose an information architecture for the web page of the Territorial Delegation of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment in Villa Clara, Cuba. Materials and methods: the research was developed with a mixed approach and was classified as descriptive. Historical-logical, analytic-synthetic and systemic-structural methods were used as theoretical level methods, and documentary analysis and survey were used as empirical level methods. Questionnaires, interviews and Card sorting techniques were used for the triangulation of the results. The methodology of Pérez-Montoro 2010 was adopted, applying three phases proposed by this author: analysis, design and implementation. Results: factors that made it necessary to propose a new web page were identified, as well as the objectives it pursues. The web page was designed based on the user study carried out, taking into consideration the criteria of those surveyed. The information architecture guidelines and their evaluation contributed to organize the contents to be included in the web. Conclusions: with the use of Information Architecture techniques and tools, relevant data were obtained for the design and improvement of the web page contents, which contributed to increase the visibility of science, technology, innovation and environment results of Villa Clara territory in Cuba.
