Meanwhile, Gunungsitoli City has several potentials including the tourism sector (Sismudjito et al, 2018); and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (UMKM) spread across 6 sub-districts, namely Gunungsitoli District (5,821), Gunungsitoli Selatan District (612), Gunungsitoli Utara District (844), Gunungsitoli Barat District (240), Gunungsitoli Idanoi District (914), and Gunungsitoli Alo'oa District (291) bringing a total of 8,722 business actors (Putra et al, 2018). Some of these potentials are important to be mapped through the Geographic Information System (GIS) (Maskun et al, 2021) or through the development of growth centers and their supporting areas in regional development in Nias Regency (G ulo, 2015).…”
