APLIKASI INFORMASI GEOGRAFIS PENGINAPAN ATAU HOTEL YANG ADA DI DESA DOULU

Abstract

Doulu Village is a village located in Brastagi District, Karo Regency, North Sumatra Province which is quite well known because it has quite interesting tourist objects to visit. The information system that presents information on tourist objects in the village only displays pictures and names which are presented in the form of maps, newspaper and web advertising media that do not yet provide direct directions to the intended tourist sites. The problem obtained from this media information for tourists is not getting direct instructions for the location of the tourist object geographical position. This requires technology that can present information on tourist objects, namely geographic information systems (GIS). As with information that provides explanations in tourist information, it must include real and correct data and images. So that tourists who want to travel to Doulu Village but still don't know the location or places of interesting tourist objects to visit can be known by tourists who will visit. To overcome this problem the author uses an approach to a digital mapping model in the form of a GIS (Geographical Information System) based on mobile Android using Google Maps as a digital map. The method used in this research uses UML (Unified Modeling Language), PHP, Java and MySQL databases as data storage. The Geographic Information System (GIS) for this natural tourist attraction has two programs, namely the admin program to manage web-based tourist data and the user program to display Android-based mobile tourist objects. This geographic information system aims to provide convenience and speed to the public in obtaining information about Natural Tourism Objects in Doulu Village.
