The Management of Land Assets in Dharmasraya Regency Based on WebGIS

Abstract

Land asset management is crucial in governance because government assets encompass properties and resources managed by government entities to generate economic value in the future. Dharmasraya Regency, located in West Sumatra Province, possesses a variety of government assets, including land and buildings. Despite its significant potential, the management of these assets has not been optimal. This research proposes a solution in the form of Geographic Information System (GIS)-based asset management, with a focus on land asset data collection. GIS enables in-depth spatial analysis of land assets and the entire region, facilitating efficient decision-making in asset management and development. The objective of this research is to map the position and distribution of government land assets in Dharmasraya Regency and provide visualization of web-based land asset management through WebGIS. The results of this research reveal that government land assets are spread across 11 districts, with the highest number of assets in the Sitiung District and the lowest in the Asam Jujuhan District. This research also produced a WebGIS application integrated into the Dharmasraya Regency Government website. This application allows easy and fast access to information about government-owned land assets, with features such as search, distance measurement, and various base map options. Thus, this research contributes to improving the management of land assets of Dharmasraya Regency Government through a modern approach based on information technology and geospatial technology.
