Keywords: WebGis, Infrastructure, Waterfall, Survey

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to present Web GIS-based infrastructure resources at the State University of

Manado. This study uses the waterfall method or often called the classic life cycle, this approach is a

systematic approach. Software development begins with the user requirements specifications and then went

through the stages of planning, modeling, construction, and deployment, then topped with complete software

support generated. The research methodology used is the waterfall method has several stages: requirements,

system design, coding and testing, program implementation, and maintenance. The data source in this

research is to conduct a field survey to collect the object of study is all the infrastructure is located on the

campus of the State University of Manado. Mapping in the field using the Global Positioning System (GPS)

in which all the buildings on campus Unima at coordinates, the latitude, and longitude. Furthermore, to make

polygons from each building identified with aerial photographs available in the OpenStreetMap software then

analyze using other software namely QGIS 3.02 Girona Version. The design of the infrastructure on campus

WebGIS using data flow diagrams serve to demonstrate the scope and limitations of a system being modeled,

as well as demonstrate their interaction with the system outside entities. In the data flow diagram shows that

outside entities directly associated with Geographical Information Systems are the location of the building,

then the design has been formed with the geodatabase already arranged later in the design Web GIS Manado

State University. The results showed that there were two main locations from the campus of Manado State

University. The main campus is located in the administrative area of Minahasa Regency precisely in the

district of South Tondano, known as Tataaran Campus and other campuses located in the administrative area

of Tomohon City which is better known as the Faculty of Education. The campus layout area covering an

area of approximately 300 hectares resulted in the spread of lecture buildings spread randomly by following

the contour pattern formed on the land of the University of Manado campus. From the results of the

identification, there are 86 objects in the form of coordinates, forming separate clusters for faculties, head

office, institutions, and dormitories. The exposure of this location shows that it needs to be supported by other

infrastructure such as clean water, electricity, internet and roads that require high costs if not properly

managed. Therefore, it can be concluded from this research that it will help provide information through the

design of campus infrastructure so that it is easier to plan and make decisions towards Unima as a smart

campus.

1 INTRODUCTION

This study focused on the development of a web-

based geographic information system with the object

of research is the campus infrastructure. WebGIS

application development, facilitate campus planning

decisions in the future (Geoda, Suprayogi, and

Hani’ah 2015). The WebGIS application is a system

that can answer the planning needs in organizing

lectures such as the amount of space that students will

use so that planners can find a comparison between

the number of students and the size of the lecture

room used (Ajwaliya, Patel, and Sharma 2017).

Additionally, WebGIS can visualize and describe the

appropriate location within the campus facilities

planning (Bi, Yang, and Ren 2017). WebGIS already

developed in several countries such as China (Qi et

al. 2011), India (Abhilash and Lajish n.d.), Taiwan

Manado State University (Unima) is a university

located in Tondano, North Sulawesi. The campus

region of around 300 Ha is one of the campuses in

Indonesia which has a very large property capacity so

that careful planning is needed if infrastructure

management is to be carried out. Unima has two

campuses, campus Tataaran is administratively

located in the district of Minahasa and Campus

Kaaten in Tomohon City.

The building infrastructure is far apart in Unima

and the area is wide on campus, so it is difficult to

find out the location of the inter-lecture buildings.

Often found where the students are still looking for a

location where they are studying or guests visiting the

campus Unima, so the need for information about the

location of buildings in Unima requires the

availability of a good information system as well, can

provide ease of finding the location of buildings on

the campus of Unima.

Geographic Information System (GIS) based web

can be used to solve the above problems in the search

for the location of Building Unima layout and map

displays as a source of information providers. The

purpose of this study is to present Web GIS-based

infrastructure resources at the State University of

Manado.

2 METHODOLOGY

The system development methodology has

evolved over the years and has adapted to changes in

software project requirements, where each

methodology has strengths and weaknesses that tend

to make it profitable for certain types of projects

(Fanon 2016). Similarly, the evolution in the

complexity and the need for a web application (Fanon

2016), new methodology specifically for web systems

have also been developed (Herman and Řezník 2015),

but the technology and the web have changed the

system needs to quickly generate new project-specific

methodologies are being developed and documented

(Bi et al. 2017).

The new technology has provided a framework

methodology that can be adapted to future web

projects (Fanon 2016). Web GIS is a system that

shows the characteristics of GIS and Web (Ajwaliya

et al. 2017). More specifically, Web GIS mapping and

visualization of geographic information to the web

platform. The method used is using the Waterfall

method (Fanon 2016). The Waterfall method is often

called the classic life cycle, where it describes a

systematic and sequential approach to software

development, starting with the specifications of user

needs and then going through the stages of planning,

modeling, construction, and deployment, and ending

with support for software complete produced (Ananta

and Winiarti 2013);(Nakayama et al. 2017).

This study uses two main data, the data used

consist of primary data (field observations) and

secondary data (literature) (Suharsimi 2010):

1. Primary data that field surveys in several

locations Manado State University building

with the installation of coordinate points of

each building.

2. Secondary data consists of a basic map of the

location of the Manado State University

building (QGIS Bing Maps plugin), building

and road data using OpenStreetMap (OSM).

The stages in data collection techniques consist

of, The first step to do is make a field and then

collecting data on observations made that observation

directly. Direct observation is the direct observation

of the location of Manado State University building,

as well as by using a list of records for the adjustment

of secondary data and then determining the

coordinates with a Global Position System (GPS) on

every building in Manado State University; the

second stage is to carry out documentation, where the

documentation data is carried out in this study with

the image/photographers of the building at Manado

State University, whereas the latter stages carried out

literature studies. At this stage, the authors studied the

theories related to the research to be conducted. In

this case, learn things related to WebGIS.

Data sources in this study are subjects from which

data can be obtained (Suharsimi 2010). In this study,

the data sources are the following: the name and

coordinates of the point of building in Manado State

University by using the Global Positioning System

(GPS), the software used is QGIS 3.02 Girona

Version with basic map support from OpenStreetMap

(Jafari et al. 2014).

Figure 1: Diagram Context.

Diagram Context, also known as DFD (Data Flow

Diagram) is used to indicate the scope and limitations

of a system being modeled, as well as demonstrate

their interaction with the system outside entities

(Kulkarni et al. 2014). In the DFD of these entities

indicated that beyond that relate directly to the system

is the location of the location of the Geographic

Information Systems Building at the State University

of Manado, the User and Admin.

From the diagram above it (Figure 1) can be

illustrated that the admin includes spatial data and

attributes map the location of the building located in

Manado State University then the system provides

information on spatial data and attribute data to the

admin, while the user can interact with GIS location

of the building in Manado State University with input

is a choice of locations available on the system.

Furthermore, the location of the GIS of the building

in Manado State University will provide output in the

form of map display and area attributes and location

of the building located at Manado State University to

User.

Figure 2: Data Flow Diagram.

DFD in Figure 2 above, describes the process of data

in the system, where there are two external entities,

namely Administrators and Users (Agus et al. 2018);

in this DFD, there are two processes are taking place,

that the map data input process and their attributes

and location of the search process at the building site

Manado State University in accordance with the

inputted data.

The last stage is that all the attributes that have

been arranged into a map are then visualized into the

Qgis Cloud (Landa et al. 2017).

3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

3.1 Field Data Collection Process

The process of data collection in this research

field that uses the Global Positioning System (GPS).

There are 86 points in the decision and all the data

scattered Manado State University study site. From

Figure 3 below shows, the observation points are:

Figure 3: GPS Points Unima Campus distribution

infrastructure Tataaran

From the results of identification, there are 67 points

of buildings that are used as educational facilities on

the campus of Unima Tataaran. While the other 19

points are located on the Unima Kaaten campus.

Figure 4. GPS point of infrastructure distribution of Unima

Kaaten Campus.

The main campus Unima has an area of about 300 ha

(Figure 4), the distribution of each faculty which

involves a series of courses and majors have a

flocking pattern as found in the Faculty of Science,

Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Languages and

Literature and the Faculty of Economics. Whereas

for the Faculty of Social Sciences and the Faculty of

Sports Sciences several study programs are far apart

from their parent faculties, making it difficult to

supervise lecture activities as well as in administering

student administration. Likewise, the Unima campus

in Kaaten which consists of the Faculty of Education

and Postgraduate Programs needs tighter supervision

due to the distance from the main campus in Tataaran.

As for the settlement of the problem conducted by the

rector is the addition of the Internet network and

control all academic activities through rigorous

academic information systems. For that campus

network system planning will be more concerned to

make Unima as a smart and environmentally whole

campus.

3.2 The Design of WebGIS

The design of the WebGis Unima infrastructure is

an important part, where this activity focuses on

visualization of the campus so that it is easier in

planning.

Figure 5: Export to Web Map

Utilizing the facilities provided by the QGIS

software, with the plugin web map data attributes

such as polygon the buildings on Unima campus are

exported to the web map (Figure 5).

Figure 6: Result Export to WebMap

In Figure 6 above shows, the results of a map created

by QGIS has been successfully exported to the web

browser.

3.3 Web Mapping Testing

Web mapping testing is done using the

Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome web browser

with the Windows operating system on desktop

computers and Android operating systems on mobile

devices, in order to run properly must be provided

connection internet network. Web map testing can be

accessed using the web address

https://qgiscloud.com/orbin/webgis/. Tests carried

out using its web address is accessible then, the map

view is as follows (Figure 7):
