Abstract

Currently, our statistical database is relatively large, and have been computerised in the process of managing and organising information. However, these data are only presented and published in the traditional tabular format. This study aims to enhance the value and the effectiveness of statistical data by exploring their spatial aspect and making them more accessible to the general public. We intend to achieve this through producing Web Mapping that allows users to actively create thematic maps, which visualise statistic data using suitable mapping methods. Web Mapping Applications is the integration of Web Browsers (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome ...), Apache Tomcat, UMN MapServer, MapFish Client, MapFish Server, Management System database PostgreSQL/PostGIS. In this application, users can select statistical indicators of interest, then select the method of expression and the associated parameters such as method of grouping, groups, and colors to create the map results on the world wide web environment.
