Web Based GIS is a system that combines two applications which are wireless
communication and web site application. The main objectives ofthe system are to ease
tourist in finding certain location in Malacca and to also to help them to access to the
required location in a shortest period oftime. Other objectives are to develop a system
that is accessible to the user in terms of location and computer technology that are used,
to develop a system that can provide accurate location and information for tourist, to
help administrator in order to monitor the system and to develop a user-friendly
interface or system by applying HCI elements. Usually, people view map using paper
map and this process is inefficient and will cost a lot oftime in finding the paper map.
Besides, it is difficult for the tourist to find certain location in a state. It consumes a lot
of times in looking the location that we want without having any idea where the
location is. The scope ofthis project is only limited to Malacca. The system will focus
on Bandar Malacca's map and information concerning the map. Other than that, there
is a research about Web Based GIS and ArcIMS ( system requirements, the best
viewers, publish data on website). Waterfall model has been chosen as the methodology
in developing this system
