A Web-based GIS Application for Water Transmission Pipeline Construction Planning Projects in Malaysia using the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) Framework
Keywords:
GIS, Water pipeline, Project planning, Decision supportAbstract
This study develops and evaluates a GIS-based web system for water transmission pipeline construction planning in Kelantan. It emphasises comprehensive planning, regulatory compliance, and enterprise GIS adoption to enhance safety. Using the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC), the study involved data collection from industry professionals, user requirement analysis, system testing, and deployment. The system improves visualisation, integrates multiple projects, and supports decision-making. Key features include a user-friendly interface, bookmarks, legend customisation, attribute table interaction, and project summaries. The findings demonstrate the strong potential of GIS web systems to improve efficiency, collaboration, and overall outcomes in infrastructure project management.
