Environmental pollution monitoring using a Web-based GIS in Surakarta

Abstract

Abstract The case of environmental pollution is usually not all exposed onmedia. As such, environmental pollution monitoring needs to be done, hence the government can take legal measures against it. Monitoring environmental pollution will be more effective when involving community. The development of geospatial technologies such as Web-based GIS is helpful for monitoring pollution inenvironment. This is due to the Web-based GIS has several advantages including easy tooperate, easily accessible and able to present data (spatial and non-spatial) in real time. The purpose of this research is to develop a web-based GIS for monitoring environmental pollution. The software was developed using Rapid Application Development (RAD). Software development using technology based on opensource (CodeIgniter, Bootstrap, OpenLayers, and GML). The results show that the utilization of web-based GIS technology for environmental pollution monitoring is easily accessible and operated by user. Furthermore, the trial results show that the utilization of developed web-based GIS technology can operate properly and present data interactively.
