TREE METHOD IMPLEMENTATION IN GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM OF PURA KAWITAN IN BALI BASED ON ANDROID MOBILE

A sacred place in which Hindu teachings believe as a place to worship sacred ancestral spirits is known as Pura Kawitan – temple of Hindus origin descendants. Pura Kawitan is specific due to its bond “wit” or ancestor based on the lineage. The existence is absolute to be known by Hindus people especially in Bali. However, not all of the Hindus people in Bali know about the information of their Pura Kawitan as well as the correlation among Pura Kawitan. This lack of information limits Hindus people to recognize the ancestors from their lineage. Geospatial Geographic Information System of Pura Kawitan can be the solution of this problem. Generally, Geospatial Geographic Information System displays the location of the temple, while the Tree Method is implemented in the system in order to describe related information of the temple. This system is in Android mobile-based for easy operation set up with features such as; information of the temple, its location on Google Maps, the correlation of the temple with the Tree Method in spatial data on Google Maps which visualized using polyline, information of the ancestors and direction. The system is capable in providing information of the temple efficiently and quickly, saving the data safely and practically as it is online and can be accessed anywhere with internet connection.
