INFORMATION SYSTEM MODEL OF ENVIRONMENTAL CARRYING CAPABILITIES BASED ON INTERACTIVE GEOSPATIAL TECHNOLOGY IN THE REALIZATION OF SUSTAINABLE CITY

Abstract

In the last ten years, the public has begun to pay attention to the application of digital technology in city planning management. One of them is that spatial prediction of environmental carrying capacity conditions is a complex technical process and requires the help of tools in the form of computer programs. A computer-based application, EnvicaSim, was developed in response to these planning needs. EnvicaSim is an application for analyzing the carrying capacity conditions of the living environment based on Geographic Information Systems. This research aims to create a model that simplifies calculating environmental carrying capacity. The result is that EnvicaSim is an application that has advantages compared to existing similar applications. EnvicaSim is a modeling tool with advantages for regional and city planning, whereas others focus on the field of Geography. The advantages of EnvicaSim include the basic algorithm scheme feature for multi-analysis using one model framework, outstanding simulation results, can set dynamic constraints (constraint growth), excellent target-based simulation planning, display/GUI (Graphic User Interface), there are output files for each iteration stage, as well as Multi-Tasking Simulation. In simple terms, the concept of the built model takes into account aspects of land capability and suitability and the concept of environmental carrying capacity. After carrying out the carrying capacity analysis process, the next step is to carry out a simulation of Regional Development, which will later considered in the Spatial Planning.
