Development of creative economy geospatial database using an open source GIS program

Abstract

Creativity is the principal capital in facing global challenges. In developing the creative economy, several qualified Human Resources (HR) with innovative power and high creativity are required. In many regions, they do not have a geospatial database that contains the potential of this creative economy. This research aims to develop a creative economy geospatial database GIS using open-source programs related to tourism activities in the Bekasi Regency, Indonesia. The first step was to classify the potential of the existing creative economy, then design the geospatial database that could accommodate the potential of the creative economy and visualize the data in maps. From the results of the study, it appears that in the Bekasi Regency, the most dominant subsector is the culinary sub-sector. If we see from the distribution of existing subdistricts, the Cikarang subdistrict has the most creative economic potential among other subdistricts, and with visualization of geospatial database GIS, it can support the management of creative economic data.
