Sistem Informasi Geografis Berbasis Web untuk Data Histori Hotspot di Indonesia Menggunakan OpenGeo Suite 3.0

Abstract

Forest fire is a serious problem because it causes many negative impacts to the environment. One of the activities to prevent forest fire is to develop a web-based geographic information system (GIS) to manage the historical hotspot data as an indicator of fire. In this research, web based GIS was developed using OpenGeo Suite software. OpenGeo Suite is an application which bundles PostgreSQL database management with PostGIS spatial extension and Geoserver map server so that the web-based GIS is easy to develop and manage. The GIS which was developed provides several main features, including displaying the map of Indonesia, pan map, zoom in, zoom out, and searching functions for hotpot data based on region and time. Using the web based GIS, hotspot historical data can be easily managed in order to assist users in providing summaries of historical hotspot data in Indonesia.
