Abstract
Geo-based information is getting greater importance among tourists. However, retrieving this information on the web depends heavily on the methods of dissemination. Therefore, this study intends to evaluate methods used in disseminating tourist related geo-based information on the web using partial match query, firstly, in default system which is a single layer approach and secondly, using multi layer web-based Geographic Information System (GIS) approaches. Shah Alam tourist related data are used as a test collection and are stored in a map server. Query keyword is tested using both default and multi layer systems and results are evaluated using experiments on sample data. Precision and recall are the performance measurement technique used. Findings show that multi layer web-based GIS provide enhanced capability in retrieving tourist related information as compared to default system. Therefore, in the future, web-based GIS development should utilize multi layers approach instead of the single layer method in disseminating geo-based information to users.
Highlights
Geo-based information is gaining greater importance among tourists as it allows meaningful experience with places (Achatschitz, 2006; Tussyadiah and Zach, 2012)
The current online maps which run on a webbased Geographic Information System (GIS) do not reflect users’ needs (Khan and Adnan, 2010; Kyem and Saku, 2009; Plosker, 2006; Richmond, 2002)
First is the single layer system which is provided by the current off the shelf web-based GIS developer
Summary
Geo-based information is gaining greater importance among tourists as it allows meaningful experience with places (Achatschitz, 2006; Tussyadiah and Zach, 2012). This study intends to evaluate the performance of web-based GIS in disseminating tourist related geo-based information on the web. First is the single layer system which is provided by the current off the shelf web-based GIS developer. Results of these studies show that there is a need to offer an online GIS map that is able to produce accurate results for spatial information.
