A Web Based Geographical Information System Application: Seyyah
Abstract
In the transformation process of industrial society to information society,
remarkable changes especially in information technologies area are experienced. In this concept, technologies interacts with information and interdisciplinary studies gain different dimensions. One of the most noticeable typical examples of these interdisciplinary studies emerged in geography and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) spawned with the relations between the sciences, geography and informatics. GIS compiling geographical information, storing it in its database and analyzing it according to users’ needs has been recently moved to internet environment. Therefore, people introduced with Web - Based Geographical Information Systems (WebGIS).
The aim of this study is to introduce Seyyah, a self- developed WebGIS application. Seyyah was designed to be used in especially elementary and high school instruction activities. High-resolution vectorial maps were used in the Seyyah, and extra features such as zooming and dragging with mouse by adding JavaScript codes to these maps were added. Then, the windows containing aimed topics over dynamic maps were opened and map keys were constructed. These information windows were directly connected to the database with the programming language, Active Server Pages.
