Geographic information system for mapping public service location

Abstract

This article aims to analyze, design, and development public service location mapping system based on Geographic Information System (GIS). GIS technology is a useful information system used in making information systems for mapping areas and locations accurately so that it can make it easier for people to obtain information on the distribution of places of public services and facilitate the path to the site. Data used is sourced from external data and observational data in the field. The software development model uses the Rapid Application Development approach which consists of four phases namely, planning requirements, user design, construction, and cutover. The results of this study are applications for mapping the location of public services that have features of fast search, geo-maps, know the nearest public service, add data by users with the login feature via social media, and features easy access via Android smartphone. With the development of this application, hoped that it could provide benefits to facilitate and accelerate the community towards the location of public services without being limited by space and time.
