Utilization of a Web-based Geographic Information System for Land Mapping and Some Its Overview: A Case Study in Sukabumi District, Indonesia

Land used for residence and agriculture is a source of life, especially in Indonesia. This is because most of the sources of livelihood, especially those living at the sub-district
level, are mostly engaged in agricultural activities. Therefore, land data collection is very important, starting at the sub-district level. Unfortunately, the information system that supports this does not yet exist, especially in the Sukabumi district. Hence, this study to overview and use a web-based Geographic Information System (GIS) for land mapping,
especially in Sukabumi District, Indonesia. The method used in this study was to conduct
interviews with land officials at the sub-district level and several communities in the area.
Information system problems from potential users are then addressed by designing a webbased information system and integrating it with GIS applications. The developed
information system provides menus and sub-menus adapted to the needs of potential
users. So far, the information system has been accessible and can help land officials at
the sub-district level and several communities in the area. This will provide the level of
detailed information that local communities need in responding to information related to
their lands to minimize social conflicts.
