Abstract

Many people register to be volunteers in many non-governmental organizations. However, the data is not fully utilized especially when there are events that require the volunteer immediately. This is due to the data that are not adequately managed. Therefore, this study is to develop a web-based multimedia mapping system for decision tool making and sharing geo-information on the volunteer program in Malaysia. This study has been conducted by using a standard development process that is known as Agile Models which has less strict guidelines and adjust according to needs in Standard Development Life Cycle (SDLC). The proposed volunteer management system can be accessed through https://volunteer-management-learngis2.hub.arcgis.com/. This exciting system provides a basic information system such as database, query, mapping, measurement, buffering, and others related to the humanitarian program. Beta testing has been conducted for a user’s satisfaction. The proposed volunteer management system should be able to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of an organization in handling the volunteer’s database and humanitarian program in Malaysia.

Summary

Introduction

Malaysia appears to be moving forward in supporting the spirit of volunteerism. Even though in the USA volunteerism is on the decline, as shown in their 2014 data. People contribute more to their communities informally based on structured volunteer programs Another aspect of volunteerism relies on technology and better understanding of employers. Volunteering remains an essential driver of political, social and economic development regardless of the form it takes It is an instrumental force in promoting positive and sustainable growth for humanity (Witt, 2011). Data exchange still remains as one of the main problems even though organizations and individuals involved with GIS have developed many different solutions. The purpose of these solutions is to open up new perspectives of creating and managing data systems and economically even tough development of computers and data systems is linked with some problems.
