Promoting development through a geographic information system-based Lodging Property Query System (LPQS) for Antalya, Turkey

Abstract

Information technology currently plays an important role in many industries and has enabled the development of different sectors and economies. Geographic information system (GIS) is an information technology that triggers improvements in many countries, and this paper presents a method of using GIS in the retrieval of lodging properties. A Lodging Property Query System (LPQS) is a novel system proposed for use by travel agencies to perform spatial queries. The proposed system was tested on a sample dataset that contains lodging properties selected from five different regions located along the shoreline of Antalya, Turkey. The data layers were prepared with the MapInfo software package, and the spatial queries and graphical user interface were developed with the MapXtreme software development kit. This study aims to contribute to the development of the travel agencies by offering useful information that fits customer expectations and needs by means of spatial context.

“…Though researchers worldwide study access to different services such as health care services (Neutens, 2015), irrigation market (Magistro et al, 2007) or lodging properties (Ilgaz Sümer et al, 2016), access to primary schools in terms of spatial equity is understudied. Few studies directly address access to primary schools (Burgess et al, 2011;Marques et al, 2021;Talen, 2001), and it is also studied in a few related studies (Lee & Lubienski, 2017;Macintyre et al, 2008).…”
