Web-Based Mapping of Crime-Prone Areas in Samarinda Seberang and Loa Janan Ilir Districts, Samarinda Citys

Abstract

The development of Geographic Information System (GIS) technology has provided significant benefits in various fields, including the monitoring of crime-prone areas. GIS is used to minimize the traces of these crimes. This study aims to map crime-prone areas in the Samarinda Seberang and Loa Janan Ilir Districts to identify which areas are potentially vulnerable, allowing for analysis for prevention and handling. The data used were collected from theft cases that occurred in these districts in 2019 and 2020. The research employs a scoring technique where each parameter is rated according to its classification. The results of the scoring process are then analyzed to determine the level of crime-prone areas, categorizing them as very vulnerable, vulnerable, or not vulnerable. Based on respondents' feedback, the application facilitates users in locating crime-prone areas, with 94.34% of responses indicating agreement or strong agreement. These results suggest that the application is feasible for implementation.
