Utilization Of Geographic Information Systems (SIG) In Mapping Rivers As Alternative Transportation Routes In Jakarta

Abstract

Abstract—Public transportation is an important means of transportation for people's lives. The importance of transportation is reflected in the increasing need for transportation services to move people and goods from one place to another. For this reason, there needs to be a way to be able to overcome congestion that occurs due to heavy traffic activities that occur on land. One way is to use the river as an alternative means of transportation. River currents can be used as a means of transportation by using watercraft such as amphibious buses. Therefore, river mapping studies are needed to study optimal routes so as to integrate amphibious bus transportation routes. The way that can be done is by maximizing the use of geographic information systems (GIS) for making mapping of the river path, so it is hoped that with the existence of water transportation routes, it can be a good solution to reduce the level of congestion that occurs in DKI Jakarta.
