Survey on Safe Stay Campus Companion: Enhancing Hostel Girls Safety Through Android Application, GPS Tracking, and Alert Messages

Abstract

Ensuring the safety and well-being of hostel residents, particularly young women, is a top priority for educational institutions. This research paper introduces the "Safe Stay Campus Companion," an innovative system designed to enhance hostel life safety through advanced GPS technology, emergency alert voice messages, and digital hostel leave management. The system utilizes advanced GPS technology to track the realtime locations of hostel residents within specific regions, enabling swift responses to their needs and emergencies. Furthermore, it includes emergency alert voice messages to communicate critical information during unforeseen situations, reaching both hostel staff and family members instantly. To streamline administrative processes and reduce paperwork, the initiative introduces digital hostel leave management, enabling residents to conveniently request leaves. This not only eases the administrative burden but also promotes an efficient, paperless system. This research delves into the implementation, effectiveness, and implications of these technology-driven safety measures in hostile environments. The implementation of the 'Safe Stay Campus Companion' marks a substantial step forward in establishing a safe and nurturing environment for hostel inhabitants, with a primary focus on their welfare and the enhancement of safety protocols within campus housing facilities.
