Web-based geographic information system for mapping religious tourism object

Abstract

Abstract Based on the notes issued by the Garut Regency Tourism Office explained that the interest of the community to visit religious tourism objects in the Garut district region is relatively high. Attractions visited are generally in the form of a sacred tomb. Almost all districts in the Garut district have graves that can be used for pilgrimage. However, the visit of new tourists is limited to a few regions. The tourists generally come from outside Garut regency, which is spread throughout the provinces in Java. The limited information possessed by potential tourists, as well as the dissemination of information by related parties, can be the cause of the spread of the purpose of the visit to be limited as well as the number of tourists interested in visiting. One alternative solution that can be done by the Garut regency government, in particular, is by designing a geographic information system mapping web-based religious tourism objects. The research aims to design a geographic information system mapping web-based religious tourism objects that presents regional mapping that can explain the state of infrastructure and public facilities available on these attractions. The system design method used is object-oriented methods, namely the Rational Unified Process, which consists of several stages, including inception, elaboration, construction, and transition. So it is expected that the application of this system can increase the number and spread of tourists towards tourist destinations.
