Sistem Informasi Geografis Sekolah di Kota Medan Menggunakan Algoritma Haversine

Abstract

The Medan Education Office is one of the government agencies that has the task of managing education starting from elementary to secondary schools in Medan. At present, the management of school information data in Medan has not been integrated into a geographic information system. Therefore, it is difficult for the public to access school data because the available information is not structured and well integrated. The purpose of this study is to assist the Medan Education Office in integrating school data in a geographic information system and to make it a place for the public to find school information, distances and routes to the nearest school. The research uses the R & D (Research and Development) method which is a method for producing certain products and testing the effectiveness of the method. The research data are collected through observation, interview, and library research. The results of this study conclude that the haversine algorithm applied to the built geographic information system has shown the results of the distances and routes that can be taken by the users to get to the destination. The School Geographic Information System in Medan provides convenience to the Medan Education Office in inputting school data, helping the public access information easily.
