Analysis of dissemination methods for remote sensing information in maritime field to support the local government

Abstract

The demand for remote sensing imagery data has been increasing in recent years in Remote Sensing Technology and Data Center LAPAN, especially the utilization of such data for the maritime field. Data request is recorded increasing trend from 808 scenes in 2015 to become 6773 scenes in 2016. Therefore, Remote Sensing Technology and Data Center should improve its services so that information provided to users could be delivered as fast as possible. The objective of this research was to find the best alternatives dissemination from the current method of data distribution and remote sensing information in terms of speed, scalability, functionality and data maintenance in order to support government program on maritime sectors. Alternative to be examined was based on Web-GIS which means that access to data and remote sensing information could be done online through internet. The used of Web-GIS in this study due to the utilization of the internet already prevalent in the present day. Through this method, users could have obtained data and information from anywhere and anytime. As an example, this paper uses mangrove distribution data in Banten as remote sensing data provided. Results are easily obtained mangrove information; the government can overcome the problems that has emerged as the reduced area of mangrove forest which resulted in causing chain actions such as floods and other disasters. Using Web-GIS can be an effective means of dissemination to speed up service.
