Implementation of Y-Model GIS web development in inventory of environmental roads, drainage and septic tanks: A study case

Abstract

Abstract Inventory of GIS Web Applications for Environmental Roads, Drainage, and Septic Tanks is an information system built to support spatial requirements, where these applications are built to address the problem of investing in environmental roads, drainage, and septic tanks according to maps. In developing a web-based GIS application, it usually uses the software development methodology but in this study, the application implementation uses the Y-Model Webgis Development (YWDM) which is a combination of web engineering and the context of developing web-based app with a study case on inventorying spatial requirements on roads, drainage, and septic tanks. This methodology was implemented as a map visualization for city planning and development and is needed applications that are capable and appropriate. By using the YWDM methodology, the needs and accuracy of application development can be done well, using several tools. The data process uses tools, including ArcGIS ESRI, to create spatial data and PHP and JavaScript programming languages to visualize the results. The results show that application development is built more easily because requirements can be well defined because a collection of requirements from the context of software development and spatial specifications are met and the application is completed. When creating a GIS web application, some methodologies can be used besides waterfalls or ordinary SDLCs, because spatial requirements are not well defined. With the implementation of this methodology, it is proven that the development of GIS web applications can be easier and by the needs desired by the user.
