Pengembangan Sistem Informasi Geografis untuk Pengelolaan Perkebunan Kelapa Sawit

Abstract

PT Astra Agro Lestari Tbk has a huge palm oil plantation that spread out in several locations in Indonesiap's main island such Sumatra, Kalimantan, and Sulawesi. To manage the plantations, PT Astra Agro Lestari needs an information system, which is spatially referenced. The purpose ofthis study is to investigate and analyze the operational plantation information according to user needs, and to develop prototype of spatial information system. A modified method of Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and prototyping developed were used. The output of developed information system are some information products that consist of basic plantation, daily harvesting, fertlizing, plant disease, and plantation infrastucture information such building, roads network, and bridges. The data were collected from related divisions PT. Astra Agro Lestari and compiled into both spatial and attribute databases. Spatial information system has an impact in the effeciency of processing time and cost increasing information quality, making problem solving easier.
