INTRODUCTION

Advances in information and communication technology have driven digital transformation in various sectors,

including regional spatial planning. Spatial planning information previously presented in the form of

conventional maps and static documents has been deemed ineffective in meeting the need for accurate, up-to-

date, and easily accessible data for various stakeholders. This situation demands an information system capable

of dynamically integrating spatial and non-spatial data based on digital technology. Binjai City, as one of the

cities experiencing rapid regional development, requires a spatial information system that can support planning,

control, and dissemination of information on spatial utilization. The availability of geospatial data such as the

Indonesian Topographic Map (RBI) and high-resolution satellite imagery, map base, map thematic, And map

Location and Time Study

This research was conducted in Binjai City, North Sumatra Province. Administratively, the research area covers

the entire city, comprising several sub-districts and villages. This location was selected based on the availability

of relatively comprehensive geospatial data, including base maps, thematic maps, and spatial planning maps, as

well as the need for an integrated and easy-to-use spatial planning information system accessible. Furthermore,

Binjai City was chosen as the research location due to its dynamic urban development that requires the support

of a digital-based spatial information system. WebGIS development in this region is expected to support the

WEBGIS System Discussion and Evaluation

The development of the Binjai City Spatial Information System WebGIS was not only descriptive but also

analytically evaluated to assess system performance, usability, and its impact on the decision-making process

compared to previous conventional practices. The evaluation was conducted through technical system testing,

spatial data validation, and end-user assessments.

a. System Performance and Usability Evaluation

WebGIS performance was evaluated based on data access speed, system stability, and ease of interface

navigation. Test results showed that WebGIS was capable of displaying spatial and thematic data in real time

with a faster response time than static map presentation methods (hardcopy or offline files). In terms of usability,

the integration of basemap, thematic, and plan map layers in a single platform improved information retrieval

efficiency and facilitated cross-sectoral spatial analysis.

b. Contribution to Decision-Making

Compared to previous practices that relied on printed maps and separate documents, WebGIS significantly

improves the quality of spatial planning decision-making. This system enables comprehensive spatial

visualization, analysis of data relationships, and uniform access to information for all stakeholders. Thus,

WebGIS serves as a decision support system in the planning, control, and evaluation of spatial use in Binjai City.

c. Data Accuracy and Validation Procedures

Spatial data accuracy is maintained through the use of the Indonesian Topographic Map (RBI) from BIG as a

base map and high-resolution SPOT 7 satellite imagery. The validation process is carried out through:

1. Cross-checking spatial data between RBI data, satellite imagery, and field survey results.

2. Checking attribute consistency to ensure non-spatial data matches actual conditions.

3. Overlay analysis of spatial suitability between base maps, thematic maps, and plan maps.

Validation results indicate that the data used has an adequate level of suitability for spatial planning and

management purposes.

d. System Testing

System testing was conducted through functional testing of WebGIS's main features, such as layer display, data

search, spatial data addition, and map export to JPG and PDF formats. All functions performed according to

system design, demonstrating that WebGIS is suitable for use as a web-based spatial information platform.

e. User Feedback

Assessments from end users, including regional planners and local government officials, indicate that WebGIS

improves the accessibility of information and transparency of spatial planning data. Users believe the system

facilitates the understanding of spatial planning policies and accelerates the analysis process. Furthermore,

WebGIS is also considered to have the potential to increase public participation through open and easy-to-

understand access to spatial information.

f. Implications and Further Development

Although the system has performed well, further development is still needed, particularly in enhancing spatial

analysis features, real-time data integration, and mechanisms for gathering online public feedback. With these

improvements, Binjai City WebGIS is expected to have a greater impact in supporting transparent, participatory,

and data-driven city governance.

can be used to add additional features to web maps. Before displaying a web map with Leaflet, you'll need to

download the LeafletJS package and save it to your computer.

Understanding GeoServer

GeoServer is a server used for GIS purposes such as sharing, processing and editing. data geospatial. Developed

with use Language JAVA, device This become something a very useful tool for various purposes, especially in

the field of GIS. GeoServer can connect existing information/data to virtual worlds like Google Earth and NASA

World Wide Web, as well as to web-based maps like Google Maps, Bing Maps, and OpenLayers. With this

application, we can display data in various formats. GeoServer's primary function is to: server free And open in

build data spatial. Same like Apache HTTP Server Which GeoServer offers a free and open source web server

for publishing HTML. GeoServer can run on Linux, Windows, and OS X operating systems.

PostGIS plugin, which is useful as a spatial database engine, or extension that can add support in defining and

managing (functional) spatial elements for the PostgreSQL object-relational DBMS. Practically, PostGIS acts

as a spatial service provider for this DBMS. Allowing PostgreSQL to be used as a spatial database backend for

GIS software. In short, PostGIS also adds SQL types (sets) (queries), operators, and functions (analysis) that

then make the PostgreSQL DBMS "Spatially-enabled". PostgreSQL is one of the best databases for GIS

purposes.

CONCLUSION

Based on the results of research on the transformation of spatial information in Binjai City through the

development and maintenance of web-based WebGIS, it can be concluded that the availability of geospatial data

including the Indonesian Topographic Map (RBI), high-resolution satellite imagery, base maps, thematic maps,

and spatial planning maps has met the needs in developing a WebGIS system. The data can be integrated

effectively after going through an updating and standardization process, making it suitable for use as a basis for

spatial information. The development of the Binjai City WebGIS using open source technology, namely

PostgreSQL/PostGIS, GeoServer, and LeafletJS, has proven to be able to present spatial information

interactively and easily accessed through a web browser without the need for special GIS software. This system

allows visualization of base maps, thematic maps, and spatial planning maps, and supports more efficient

management and dissemination of spatial information. In addition to the system development aspect, WebGIS

maintenance is an important factor in maintaining the sustainability and reliability of information. Regular data

updates, spatial database management, and system performance evaluation are necessary to ensure that WebGIS

remains relevant to the dynamics of development in the Binjai City region. Thus, WebGIS functions not only as

a medium for presenting information but also as a tool to support decision-making in spatial planning and

regional development. Overall, the implementation of WebGIS in Binjai City has contributed to improving

accessibility, transparency, And effectiveness provision information order room for government regions,

communities, and other stakeholders. The existence of WebGIS is expected to support planning, control, And

development region in a way sustainable as well as become base development of a more comprehensive spatial

information system in the future.
