GIS-Based Village Facility Mapping for Data-Driven Development Planning in Rural Indonesia
Purpose: This study aims to document the design,
implementation, and outcomes of a Geographic Information System (GIS)-based village facility data collection and mapping program conducted as part of the Community Service Program (KKN) community service program of Universitas Lampung at Gebang Hilir Village, Teluk Pandan District, Pesawaran Regency, Lampung Province, Indonesia.
Methodology: A qualitative case study approach was
employed, integrating field observation, GPS-based coordinate
collection, attribute data recording, and spatial data processing using ArcGIS software. The four-stage implementation followed a structured workflow: preparation, data collection, data processing, and reporting and handover to the village
government.
Results: Village facilities that had previously remained
undocumented in digital or spatial form were successfully inventoried and mapped into an accurate, informative, and accessible digital map. The resulting GIS map covering religious, educational, health, government, and economic facilities was produced and formally handed over to the Gebang Hilir village government, achieving a 90% program completion rate.
Conclusions: The GIS-based mapping program effectively addressed the village's critical spatial data deficit, producing a practical geospatial tool that supports village asset management, development planning, and community information services.
Limitations: The program was limited by time constraints, adverse weather during fieldwork, and the lack of a mechanism for continuous data updates.
Contributions: This study provides a replicable GIS-based community service model for village facility mapping in rural communities with limited spatial data infrastructure.
