Abstract

Medicinal plants are one of the potential natural resources that grow in Indonesia. Data on the location of medicinal plants is currently still scattered in several places. This research goals to develop and apply Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as an innovative tool in the conservation and utilization of medicinal plants. By combining Geographic Information System technology and empirical data on the location of medicinal plants, this research presents a platform that allows researchers, health practitioners, and the general public to access information related to the geographic distribution and properties of medicinal plants. This research utilizes the Codeigniter framework as the basis for system development and is assisted by several libraries, such as GeoJSON and LeafletJS, for several parts of the system. The result of this research is a basic web-based system about medicinal plant mapping that can be further developed into further research. The research has successfully produced a system that can display the mapping of medicinal plants in several regions in Lampung province. The main difficulty experienced is the precision of the location of medicinal plants. The weakness of the system is that the markers look like they merge when seen from a specific altitude. Future research will develop a search engine for medicinal plant information that is integrated with the location mapping that has been produced from this research. So when people want to search for a medicinal plant, they will get the information easily
