A WebGIS Decision Support System for Wadi El Natrun Rural Land Management

Abstract

Recently, the Egyptian government benefits from the digital transformation by developing different platforms to help manage and monitor the routine process. Rural land management is one of the critical issues that could significantly improve the economy. As far as we know, rural land management affects farmers and may cause agricultural land loss and waste of irrigation resources. Many attempts have been investigated to address this issue in Egypt. Therefore, we design and implement a WebGIS decision support system for rural land management in Wadi El-Natrun valley (WNDSS), El-Beheria governorate. The proposed WNDSS was developed using the client/server model and contains several functions, including data extraction, statistical analysis, and visualization via an interactive map. RESTful Web Service Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) were utilized as the communication interface between client and server. Finally, we use the browser to get the data by predefined API and to present the rural farms with Google Map API and jQuery JavaScript library. The online system provides several tools for governorate managers to (a) precise survey data, (b) powerful change detection suite, (c) Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) multi-temporal,(d) multi-date land use land cover information, (e) statistics reporting tools, (f) tabular or spatial query for associated data.
