Location-Based Services INTRODUCTION Sumenep Regency, situated in Madura, is characterized by a wealth of cultural heritage and historical tourist sites, including palaces, traditional architectures, legends, and coastal attractions .
The local government has actively promoted tourism development as part of its strategy to support economic and social progress by enhancing facilities and improving the quality of services for visitors .
To support the promotion of historical and cultural destinations, the use of web-based Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has become increasingly relevant.
GIS is a digital platform for storing, analyzing, and visualizing spatial data through interactive maps, and has proven to be effective in mapping tourism objects and facilitating access to spatial information for both the public and local authorities .
, .
Recent studies have highlighted the growing importance of digital tools in tourism.
Research on island tourism governance in Sumenep emphasizes the need for sustainable development planning, where technology can Wildan Surya Wijaya Electrical Engineering Universitas PGRI Adi Buana Surabaya Surabaya.

play a key role .
Other studies have focused on identifying popular tourist locations on Madura Island using computational methods, demonstrating a demand for data-driven approaches to tourism management .
The development of Web GIS for digital tourism mapping is a significant trend, offering capabilities for forecasting and strategic planning .
The role of geovisualization within these systems is critical, as it improves the user's ability to analyze spatial data and enhances public access to complex information .
Location-Based Services (LBS) enhance GIS by integrating user location data, allowing tourism sites to be mapped and categorized based on the userAos current This integration has shown significant results in previous studies.
For instance, the implementation of WebGIS with LBS and Google Maps API in West Jakarta helped map tourism objects effectively .
, while a similar system in Langkat Regency supported real-time discovery of nearby points of interest .
Furthermore.
Web and mobile GIS applications have been developed to locate specific facilities like places of worship to support halal tourism, showcasing the versatility of this technology .
Although similar research has been successfully implemented in other regions, there is a clear research gap:
the absence of a centralized platform specifically designed to map and promote historical sites in Sumenep Regency.
Existing systems are often general in nature and do not highlight the specific cultural heritage of Sumenep.
Therefore, this study aims to fill this gap by developing a customized Web GIS prototype for historical sites in Sumenep, addressing the need for an interactive and accessible information platform for tourists and In the context of Sumenep, developing a GIS-based tourism information system using the LBS method is expected to contribute to improving digital tourism It can support the local government in promoting historical tourism and increasing public access to location-based services, ultimately boosting local economic development and enhancing the visibility of cultural heritage .
This study builds on these past efforts by creating a tailored Web GIS prototype specifically for the historical sites in Sumenep, addressing the need for a centralized, interactive, and accessible information platform for tourists and administrators.

These stages culminate in the construction of a GIS-based web application that displays historical tourism data with location accuracy and visual .
System Requirements Analysis This stage involves analyzing both functional and nonfunctional requirements needed to design the GIS.
Requirements were gathered primarily through literature review methods.
The system must support mapping of historical tourism sites in Sumenep and allow features such as viewing, editing, and searching data .

System Design In the design phase, a software framework is developed using Unified Modeling Language (UML) to describe the system architecture and flow.
Two types of data are considered: spatial data .
uch as roads and location.
and attribute data .
uch as site names, ticket prices, and The process includes map object selection, map editing, data processing, and route-based search functions by name or category.
Output requirements include displaying tourism site locations, their coordinates, and supporting information .
, .
The system's business process considers two primary actors: administrators and tourists.
Administrators are responsible for data input, editing, and system maintenance, while tourists can access the platform to view tourism maps and information.
Data Collection Data collection was conducted via literature study to gather insights and requirements for GIS-based tourism The collected data defines the content needed for the platform, such as historical tourism site details, spatial coordinates, map visualization, and descriptive site data.
These inputs support the database creation and web interface functionality .

Use Case Diagram To model the system's functionality and user interactions, a Use Case Diagram is employed.
It provides a high-level view of the system's behavior by identifying actors and the actions they can perform.
The diagram in Figure 2 illustrates the interaction between 'Admin' and 'User' actors, where both must log in to access system features, ensuring data integrity and security.
Fig.
2 Use Case Diagram The Use Case Diagram presented in Figure 2 illustrates the interaction between the system and two types of actors:
Admin and User.
Both actors are required to log in before they can access the core features of the system.
The login process serves as the entry point, ensuring secure access to system functionalities.
Once authentication is successful, the system automatically performs several included processes, such as providing location information and executing data processing operations.
After these internal processes are completed, users are able to view location details and map data.

3 Admin Activity Diagram The Activity Diagram shown in Figure 3 outlines the sequence of actions taken by users when interacting with the web-based Geographic Information System.
The process begins with users accessing the GIS platform, followed by the system displaying the main homepage.
Users then navigate to the map menu, initiating a search for spatial information.
Upon selecting the search function, the system processes the input and presents relevant location Figure 3 outlines the sequence of actions taken by users, from accessing the GIS platform to searching for and viewing location data.
This flow demonstrates a structured interaction pattern, which is vital for modeling user-system behaviors effectively.
Activity diagrams such as this are vital in system design, as they visually represent dynamic behaviors and user-system interactions, allowing developers to model conditional flows and parallel processes effectively .
Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) The logical structure of the database is conceptualized using an ERD, as shown in Figure 4.
This diagram details the main entities .

4 Entity Relationship Diagram The ER diagram presented in Figure 4 illustrates the relationships between data entities in the GIS.
This relational schema ensures that the system's database design adheres to normalization principles, which reduce redundancy and enhance consistency.
The ER diagram is essential in visualizing how tables interconnect, thereby supporting efficient data modeling and retrieval processes within the application .
System Testing To validate the functional performance of the developed GIS application, black-box testing was applied utilizing actual tourism-related datasets from the Department of Culture and Tourism of Sumenep Regency.
This method examines the systemAos external behavior while disregarding the internal code structure, ensuring that userfacing features respond correctly to various inputs .
The testing process included all essential functionalities such as login authentication, data display, record editing, data entry, deletion, map rendering, graphical visualization, and session termination.
Each of these modules was evaluated individually to verify conformance to functional requirements .
All scenarios executed during the test yielded positive outcomes, with no critical issues detected.
This confirms that the system operates reliably and is prepared for deployment to its intended users.
These findings support the principles of black-box testing, which prioritize system correctness and operational stability as fundamental aspects of quality assurance .
