Mobile Positioning Data Based-Application for Medan Tourism Objects

Abstract

Tourism Object is a fundamental component in the tourism industry and one of the reasons visitors travel. The State of Indonesia is one of the various countries whose number of tourist objects is very large and varied. One of these attractions is natural tourism, for example, the sea, beaches, rivers, lakes, and mountains, as well as for the building objects including historical heritage sites, forts, museums and so on. The method used in this study uses qualitative research by applying the method of mobile positioning data to help the manager of tourist attractions promote the location of tourist attractions. The mobile positioning system model can be used to understand and determine the mobile position based on location coordinates. This mobile positioning system uses GPS technology, a tool to get or generate the coordinates of the position of the online map technology that Google provides to show the position that has been stored in the system. The research results from this Tourism Object application can detect the user's location according to the mobile positioning data method. This Android-based Tourist Object application can display a list of tourist objects according to the area occupied by the user. This tourist attraction application can add new tourist objects by admin. It is hoped that in the future this application can be run on the iOS system and can add images to new tourist attractions.
