WEB BASED GIS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR TOURISM (A CASE STUDY OF PLATEAU STATE)
(Compter Science Department, Nasarawa State University, Keffi, 2017-08-12) Abdullahi, Aliyu Hassan
A web based Geographical Information System (GIS) for locating tourism spots in Plateau State was developed. This could assist the state government as well as the Nigerian government with better planning of tourism infrastructure, location and dissemination of such infrastructure, production of better quality maps showing tourists sites etc because of the dynamic capability of GIS tools to incorporate changes that occur over time to its database. The study followed the software engineering development process, i.e. requirement analysis, system design, database design and finally testing and implementation. Object oriented design (UML) language was used to model the system, and for analysis of the functional and the non-functional requirements. The system was designed using ASP.NET MVC 5.0 in the Microsft.NET framework 4.6, C# language, HTML with CSS embedded and the SQL Server for its implementation. It also included an information sharing platform, which allows sharing of user experiences to all users. The result of this study had revealed that presenting the Web-Based GIS on the internet would offer an unparallel platform for the management and promotion of the tourism industry in Plateau Stat
