Combating Overtourism: The Use of Web-GIS in Visualizing Tourist Distribution and Travel Patterns

Abstract

Web-GIS in the tourism sector can be done using website technology, namely by visualization based on tourism spatial attributes that display polygon-based patterns and points of tourist attraction locations to combat overtourism in tourist attractions. With the development of geospatial technology, tourists' distribution and travel patterns can be visualized by collecting data on tourist visits to tourist attractions and their routes. With the YWDM method, this web-gis was developed using the YWDM methodology with several phases according to the methods used. This application uses an open-source programming language, namely Javascript, and uses JSON as an upstream geodatabase. The results show that Web-GIS visualization of the distribution and travel patterns can make it easier to monitor the density of a tourist attraction. It is well developed in providing more accurate information on the distribution and density of tourist attractions. With the YWDM methodology, visualization can be done like the software development stage and equipped with steps in need for spatial data management.

Spatial data warehouse: an analysis in tourism sector of west java province

“…Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have been used in urban administration and planning for decades, but only recently, because of developments in graphics, distributed processing, and network connections, has software progressed to the point where it can be used consistently and efficiently, sometimes called smart cities or smart urban which include tourism sector [1] [2]. Geographic or Geospatial Information Systems are crucial to several methods of collecting data in the tourism industry [3][4] [5] and has had a significant impact on the tourism industry, and as a result, there has been renewed interest in the use of spatial data warehouse in the tourism sector to manage large, diverse geographical databases for urban applications [6] [7]. Many people in the tourism industry use dan will collect data, including those who use social media and the government use the data to make an impact to improve the tourist attraction or to make a benefit as an income or invest for the government [8].…”
