Development of Web-Based Application for Shapefile Coordinate System Conversion for Malaysia

By Elysonia Alim and Shahabuddin Amerudin It is difficult to process GIS vector data when they are not aligned with one another. The need for different coordinate systems rose from the fact that some coordinate systems are better fitted to describe the geographical phenomenon occurring in a specific area. However, even commercial software had been proven to have questionable accuracy in coordinate system conversions. The purpose of this study is to develop a web application capable of converting the coordinate system of a GIS data format such as a shapefile for Peninsular Malaysia. The web application named Coordinate Conversion Application […]

Development of Web-Based Application for GIS Data Format Coordinate System Conversion

By Elysonia Alim and Shahabuddin Amerudin (Supervisor) Unpublished 2018 4th Year Undergraduate Project’s Technical Paper It is difficult to process GIS vector data when they are not aligned with one another. The need for different coordinate systems rose from the fact that some coordinate systems are better fitted to describe the phenomenon happening in a specific area. The purpose of this study is to develop a web application capable of converting the coordinate system of a GIS data format such as a shapefile for Peninsular Malaysia. The web application named Coordinate Conversion Application (CCA) was developed using Django and Python

What is the importance of literature review?

To conduct a literature review, researchers must first find all previous research done on the topic they are studying. This review of the literature provides a thorough introduction to the reader on the topic and presents all the analyses and findings of previous studies. Current researchers use these findings to develop their own research questions and eventually to create their own hypotheses on the topic that provides a focus for their explorations and analyses. The findings of the current research can then be compared and contrasted with previous findings and used as take-off point for further research.   Literature reviews

What is critical literature review?

A literature review is a critical analysis of published sources, or literature, on a particular topic. It is an assessment of the literature and provides a summary, classification, comparison, and evaluation. At postgraduate level literature review can be incorporated into an article, a research report or thesis.
