| Summary: | The information on tide stations possesses an essential role in the
development and management of marine resources. As many as 113 tide stations
owned by the Badan Informasi Geospasial (BIG) are distributed across Indonesia,
thus the presence of geographic information system (GIS) capable of facilitating
users to obtain necessary information is required. The activities implemented are
aimed to create a web-based information system application which is focused on the
spatial data and attribute data regarding the information system of tide stations�
distribution interactively.
The information system of the tide stations� distribution provides information
on the description of tide stations locations, tide stations locations, the description of
the tools used in tide stations, general identity of tide stations� operators, and the
description of tidal Bench Mark (BM) in the locations of tide stations which is made
by using various Open Source software. The initial stage of the data processing was
started from the input of PostgreSQL data, the data storage on GeoServer, and the
making of interactive map display by using scripts arrangement utilizing OpenLayers
and GeoExt as the library of JavaScript. It was subsequently ended by the making of
web design by using KompoZer.
The web-based information system of tide stations� distribution in Indonesia
which is produced can be accessed by activating GeoServer and using various
browsers. The information system is comprised of four main menus, i.e. main page
menu, map menu, information menu on tide gauges, and gallery menu. On the map
menu, the distribution of tide stations spots which are being overlapped with the
basic map is presented and is equipped with various control maps. Therefore, the
users can obtain the information on the distribution and the description of tide
stations in Indonesia more easily.
