The Kuala Keniam Research Station in Taman Negara has experienced severe damages to large flood and therefore this station spatial visualization and database management need to be enhanced appropriately. A meticulous park information system is required for assisting staff and users to manage the spatial park entities in an identifiable ecotourism mapping. This pilot study was proposed to develop a 3D GIS visualisation for the park and landscape management using software development life cycle (SDLC) and several 3D software. Findings from the local user requirements showed that 100% agreed for developing an interactive 3D mapping in the study area. The developed mapping has demonstrated its capabilities in modelling 3D park mapping and constructing a geopark database such as updating functions of park’s attributes, park animation and visualisation, and other basic functions of a common park system. An experienced staff from the Department of Wildlife and National Parks Peninsular Malaysia (PERHILITAN) has been also interviewed with a testing form to evaluate the mapping’s capabilities and this evaluator was satisfied with all elements and functions developed in the digital map, but the interactivity of the map need to be improved for an advanced geoanalysis of the park.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
