The Development Of Digital Life System For Medicine Plant Based On Geographic Information System: Case Studi, Meru Betiri National Park

As one of the plasma nutfah repositories, particularly for medicine plants, Meru Betiri National Park (TNMB) is usually exploited as traditional medicine resources. This circumstance gives some serious impacts, particularly in preserving endangered medicine plants. As an in charge institution, currently TNMB still retains its plasma nutfah repository information manually and tends to partially. This information spread out in many report documents and it is difficult to be accessed. Therefore, it is worth to develop a system which could maintain, integrates, and publishes this information easily. For these reasons, this research develop a Digital Life System which is based on Geographic Information System (GIS) that will be use as information storage and information publisher to help the TNBMs’ staffs to maintain their medicine plats data. From the Digital Life System development point of view, there are two main databases, i.e.: spatial database to hold the information about where the plants are and attrbiute database to hold the plants’ morphology characteristic data. To enhance the data and information management, this digital life system was developed based on web GIS technology that allows all users (particularly TNMBs’ staffs) to access the whole information in anytime and anywhere in easy way.
