Suci Siti Aisah Robiansah is a geodetic and geomatical

engineering magister student of Bandung Institute of
Technology. She is currently completing her research on
the web-based geospatial information system. She loves
everything related to design, which is why he is also
interested in cartography. In her spare time, she likes to
go with her friends just to enjoy the beauty of nature.

Abstrak. The study, published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine in 2009

says, vacationing and other leisure activities can offer a positive view of
everything and cut the level of depression. However, the results of a survey
conducted by one of Asia's hotel chain 41% of respondents said the reason
people are lazy to go on vacation because of the difficulty of planning a
vacation. Seeing these conditions, then made an effort to build a GIS web-
based cost planning system that can help tourists in doing tourism trip planning
in Bandung City. The developing of the system in this research doing by
creating a database which is then integrated with the query entered by the user
so that it can calculate all the expenses that will occur on the tour such as
transportation cost, hotel cost, entrance ticket of tourist object, and the parking
ticket. The result of this research is a GIS Web-based cost planning system as
one way to convey information about cost planning in taking a tour by taking
into account distance factor. This information can be used by the tourists to
determine the tourist destination, cost and place of stay to be used when travel
tourism as well.

1 Preface
One of the important economic sectors in Indonesia is tourism. Tourism ranks third
in terms of revenue in 2009. In addition to making the mood happy, going on
vacation can also be useful for the physical. As lowering the risk of heart disease,
according to a study involving 13,000 people at high risk of heart attack, those who
2
regularly take vacation once a year the risk of heart disease drops to 29%. The same
study also found that people who like a vacation have a lower risk of death 17%
compared to those who continue to struggle with busy. The study, published in the
journal Psychosomatic Medicine in 2009 says, vacationing and other leisure
activities to give us a positive view of everything and reduce the level of depression.

Therefore, to make a tour needs to be seen from the various benefits. However, as
quoted from the results of a survey conducted by one of Asia's hotel chain 41% of
respondents said the reason people are lazy to go on vacation because of the
difficulty of planning a vacation. Agoes Soerono (Soerono, 2012) in his article said
that not doing the planning can cause many losses such as the difficulty of getting
lodging, skipping an attractive tourist attraction can also result in the budget cost of
vacation becomes swollen. One attempt to overcome this problem is to create an
information system that is able to provide information and can assist in choosing
attractions, places to stay, fees, and other things related to financing to conduct tours
that support tourists to plan a tour.

2 Litelature and Method

2.1 Web GIS

Web GIS is a GIS application that utilizes internet network as communication media
which function to distribute, publish, integrate, communicate and provide
information in text form, digital map and run query and analysis functions related to
GIS through internet network (Prahasta, 2007). The use of spatial data is felt
increasingly needed for various purposes such as research, development and regional
planning, as well as natural resource management (Iwan Setiawan). In general,
Geographic Information Systems are developed based on the principles of data input,
management, analysis, and data representation. In the web environment, the
principles are described and implemented as shown in Table 2.1 below:

Data Representation Client/ Server

2.1.1 Development of GIS Web Structure

There are two important components in building a website, the two components are
front end and back end. These two components can convey the results of this
research. Here's an explanation of the front end and back end that is made in the
modeling of tourism cost planning system in Bandung. Front End is all things related
to the process of making a web interface design. Everything that can be seen on a
web page is the result of this front end design. In making GIS web design in this
research programming language used are HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
 3
To create a built web structure can be delivered to the user and also make the tourism
cost planning system included in the front end component requires technology to
make it happen. The technology is a back end insert. This back end will refer to
programs and scripts created to make web pages dynamic and interactive. This back
end embodies the algorithm logic that has been previously compiled into an
application that can be accessed by the user. Design information about insert and
input from and for user is arranged in back end as input processing, database access
and also content setting to be displayed. Development of information design by back
end uses PHP and Java programming language.

2.2 Network Analysis

According to (Heywood I., 2011), a network is a set of lines or lines that are
interconnected to form a series of features through which information sources can
flow into each section. ESRI (2012) defines a network as a system consisting of
interconnected elements, such as interconnected roads at the crossroads, which
represent the possible routes from one location to another. The best route
determination by Network Analyst software is done by using an algorithm developed
by Edsger Dijkstra (1959). Dijkstra's algorithm is used to calculate the shortest path
from the starting point to all other points.

2.3 Logic Algorithm

The algorithm logic is a way to solve the problem with a set of systematic and
limited steps. Logic algorithms can also be referred to as a collection of instructions
commonly called source code created by programmers to create a program. The
program is a command or instruction arrangement that is constructed in such a way
that it has the proper logical sequence to assist in solving the problem (Storey, 1987).
The instructions are input, process, output, branching, and looping. In this study, the
logic used to build a tourism cost planning program is as shown in Figure 2.1.

2.4 Data Processing

In this subchapter will be described the implementation process of development of
Web-based tourism costing system GIS Bandung. The steps are done as in Figure 2.2
below:

2.5 Data Collection

Data needed in this research is data of tourist objects, hotels, and administrative
boundary. Spatial data collection is done by utilizing online software capable of
displaying maps in the form of satellite images of Bandung. The software used to get
spatial data is Google Earth. Google Earth's internal coordinate system is the single
geographical coordinate of the 1984 World Geodetic System (WGS84). Some of the
lands are covered in satellite images with a resolution of about 15 m per pixel. Some
government centers are also covered by aircraft (orthophotography) with several
6
pixels per meter. While the oceans and some islands are covered with the lowest
resolution with a resolution of about 500 m or less.

2.5.1 Database Design

The database is designed to generate data in accordance with table requirements and
eliminate repetitive data. Database design is done to form a table that is normalized
and ready to be used for data processing in the next stage. Designing the database
through three stages:
1. Conceptual Design
2. Logical Design
3. Physical Design

3 Result and Analysis

3.1 Results of GIS Web Design

GIS web design is done to be able to provide a system of tourism cost planning
system in Bandung. Web design is also done to visualize view of existing systems. It
is expected that this application can facilitate users of GIS web in the planning of
more optimal travel costs, destination attractions and places to stay. The following is
an explanation of the design of the Web interface used.

3.1.1 Home
On this page, there is an picture of Bandung City and also a famous quotation from a
writer named Pidi Baiq about the city of Bandung. Users can take advantage of this
page to be able to recognize the function of made Web GIS tourism cost planning
Bandung City. The main page view of GIS Web Tourism Bandung City can be seen
in Figure 3.1.

Figure 3.1 Home Page on GIS Web Tourism Bandung

3.1.2 Data Page

On this page displayed data used in the calculation of tourism costing system of
Bandung City. Tourism object used during the research as many as 30 tourist objects
 7
and 33 hotels used consisted of five hotels with different categories. This page can
help users in determining tourist objects and hotels to be selected in the calculation
of tourism costing plans Bandung. The data page consists of three sub-menus namely
sub-menu Object Tour, Hotel sub-menu and also sub-menu Map of hotel and tourist
spots. Display page of GIS Tourism web data Bandung City can be seen in Figure
3.2.

Figure 3.2 Sub-menu Objects on the Data Page

3.1.3 Project Page

This page is the main page of Web GIS because it contains results from modeling of
the tour cost planning system in Bandung City. On this page users can enter inputs in
the form of fees owned, total adult and children who follow tourism, go dates and
return dates, choice of hotels and also the choice of attractions. The input of the user
which will be obtained by the tourism cost planning system that has been made by
utilizing the data database information. Users can see the results of their cost of
tourism calculation on the same page. Display page Web Project GIS Tourism
Bandung can be seen in Figure 3.3.

3.1.4 Contact Page

The contact page contains a way to contact the website administrator, either by email,
phone, chat, email, or by filling out inquiry or comment form online. Users can get in
touch with website owners, find out their office address, speak well to ask questions
or complain so as to provide a sense of trust and comfort. Users can also provide
criticism and suggestions about the system of tourism cost planning in this GIS web.
The existence of this page is used as input for improvement in future program
development. The view of the Web contact page of GIS Tourism City Bandung can
be seen in Figure 3.4.

3.2 Research Analysis
Based on the research conducted, conducted a trial of tourism cost planning system
that has been made. The pilot is done with a scenario of a tour planning that will be
done by a family consisting of two adults and one child who has the capital to travel
for two million rupiahs. The trip is done for three days and two nights by renting a
hotel room as much as one at Grand Preanger Hotel, selected attractions are Zoo,
Geological Museum, Upside Down World, Elephant Village, Farm House, Maribaya,
and Begonia Park. Results issued by the system can be seen in Figure 3.5 below:

Figure 3.5 Example of Using the Cost Planning System

From the results of the use of the system then do an analysis of algorithmic logic and
calculation of planning used. The results of the analysis obtained as follows:

3.2.1 Analysis of Database System and Calculation System

Spatial data used to complement visualization in the GIS Web is a free, map-shaped
service that can be viewed using a browser. Use of this service helps in the
10
development of digital maps. To get visualization on this map it only takes the name
of the location data and also the coordinates. Only, with the use of this feature can
cause access to the map to be obstructed or long because it must connect to a
different server first.
In this system does not take into account the factors of proximity between objects of
hotels and tourist attractions. So it can lead to travel tours made by the user will be
ineffective and efficient. It is necessary to add a facility that can tell the user the
distance between a tourist object and a hotel, or a query that advises the user on a
tourist object or hotel to choose from. The scenarios used in determining transport
costs are only made for travelers who use private cars. In addition, the calculated
distance only uses the scenario from the hotel to the tourist object and back again to
the hotel, it will in fact not be effective both in terms of time and cost. Although
previously users can view object position information on the data page, it can make it
easier for users to determine travel plans for a better cost. The duration of the trip is
not taken into account in the system built in this study. So that not all planned travel
tours in the system of tourism cost calculation can be realized.
The map of travel routes displayed on the GIS Web still has many shortcomings. The
map view of the travel route shows only the selected objects and routes between
objects only. The different symbols and colors displayed on the map do not represent
different objects correctly. Therefore the map shown still does not take into account
the rules of good cartography.
Another thing that has not been facilitated in the GIS web is to be able to add and
update data through the interface page. This facility is useful and necessary because
the prices of hotels and attractions are dynamic. This feature can also facilitate the
providers of tourism services to be able to add services that they have on this
program that has been made. So the benefits of this GIS web in addition to the
connoisseurs of tourism services but also for the service providers of tourism itself.

4 Conclusions and Suggestions

4.1 Conclusions
Based on the results of the study, discussion, and manufacture of applications that
have been done then obtained conclusion:
1. A model of GIS Web-based tourism cost planning system has been developed
as a way of conveying information on costing planning in travel according to
the scenario.
2. The logic scenario of the algorithm being compiled is still limited in
providing good cost calculations for travel with the factors used still allowing
development for other scenarios.

4.2 Suggestions
For further development and application development, there are some things that can
be used as a material for further study. It is expected that further research can add
consideration of proximity between objects. Tourist attractions can be classified
according to the proximity so that the user is easier to plan an efficient vacation. And
also, in long-distance calculations, further research can be done using SIG or PG
 11
Routing desktop software to facilitate analysis and also no need to connect to other
servers.
