Article Review Results Geographic Information System Of Mapping Of Mystical Flows in Pudak District, Ponorogo Regency, Based on Website
The article focuses on mapping spiritual sects in Pudak District, Ponorogo using a web-based geographic information system (GIS). It addresses the lack of awareness about these sects among the local population and aims to provide detailed information through an accessible platform. The primary objective is to present data about various spiritual sects, including their locations and follower counts, to facilitate cultural recognition and governmental support.
The study develops a GIS-based website to map and provide information on spiritual sects in Pudak District, Ponorogo. Using the waterfall model for system development, the researchers conducted a comprehensive needs analysis, designed the system, implemented it, tested its functionality, and performed maintenance. The resulting website showcases village coordinates and details about each sect, aiming to educate the local population and support cultural preservation. The system was tested for functionality and user satisfaction, receiving positive feedback with 89.3% of users expressing satisfaction.Â
The article is well-structured, providing a clear overview of the problem, methodology, and outcomes. The choice of the waterfall model ensures a systematic approach to system development. The authors effectively collected and analyzed data, resulting in a functional GIS website that meets its objectives. However, the article could benefit from a more detailed discussion on potential limitations and challenges faced during implementation.Â
The development of a GIS-based website to map spiritual sects in Pudak District addresses a significant cultural and informational gap. The use of the waterfall model is appropriate for this project, ensuring thorough planning and systematic execution. The inclusion of user feedback highlights the practical applicability and acceptance of the system. However, the article lacks a critical examination of the broader implications of mapping spiritual sects and the ethical considerations involved in handling sensitive cultural data. Additionally, future research could explore integrating more advanced features such as dynamic maps and 3D visualizations to enhance user experience.Â
The study successfully develops a GIS-based website to map and provide information on spiritual sects in Pudak District, Ponorogo. The system is well-received by users, demonstrating its effectiveness in addressing the identified cultural and informational gaps. Future improvements could include dynamic mapping features and a deeper exploration of the ethical aspects of such projects.
