Developing muslim cemetery management system using GIS Application in Kampung Tua, Simpang Empat Semanggol, Perak

The study aims to create a digital cemetery management system using geographic information system (GIS) technology for the Muslim cemetery located at Kampung Tua Simpang Empat Semanggol, Perak. The conventional management of this cemetery had demonstrated inefficiency and susceptibility to mistakes, leading to challenges in maintaining precise records and retrieving information. 97 cemeteries data was collected and at each cemetery, information includes graveyard locations, burial records, and genealogical information was recorded. By using satellite image from Google Earth, the data was integrated and produce a map. By converting the cemetery data into a digital format, a comprehensive database was developed. To publicise the database for community use, a website called e-kubur was created to provide public access to this information. This enabling people to effortlessly search for burial details compare to conventional method. The deployment of this system was anticipated to optimize cemetery management, enhance the precision of records, and provided improved community access to information. This effort also seeks to safeguard the cultural and historical history of the cemetery, guaranteeing the preservation of the community's tradition for future generations.
