Mapping of Telkom University Roadshow Location Using Geographic Information System

Abstract

Based on data on the New Student Selection (NSS) at Telkom University in the last three years, there are international study programs that have experienced a decrease in the ratio of the number of participants for the NSS compared to the capacity. A limited number of employees can also be an obstacle in marketing Telkom University to schools on-site in various cities. Based on enrollment data in 2019, there were more than 500 schools from which participants participated in international class study programs. Because there are quite a lot of cities, it would be better if displayed in the form of a map that can display the number of participants who took part in the selection of new students from each city. In this research, a case study was conducted in an international class aimed at designing a geographical information system to map the Telkom University roadshow locations. The system will be built using the Rapid Application Development (RAD) model. This research produces a GIS that maps alternatives that provide information related to registrants from various cities by mapping the data of each alternative city into a map so that users can be helped in considering the cities that need to be visited for the roadshow and also the resources needed for the visit. Based on black-box testing and user acceptance tests, it is concluded that the system is successfully carrying out its functions according to the design.
