Development of Geospatial Asset Management System for Higher Education

Abstract: The integration of Geographic Information System (GIS) for asset management was addressed in this study. Geographic Information System (GIS) as a decision support system was integrated within the process of asset management to strengthen the monitoring of tangible assets within the organization. The main objective of this study is to design and develop a Location-Based Asset Management Application System. A waterfall model was utilized to create the system. GeoJSON was used to represent geographical features or attributes of the data gathered. A standardized adapted evaluation form was used to determine the Functionality, Performance, Robustness, and Workmanship of the developed application and interpreted using descriptive analysis. The analysis shows that the developed system is excellent in terms of Functionality, Performance, Robustness, and Workmanship. Based on the study's findings, the developed spatial asset management system is an effective way of monitoring and delivering asset management information and resources to its various constituents. It is highly recommended that a designed system should be utilized and use the developed systems to proactively respond and adapt to the modern world in delivering and managing resources.
