A Dynamic Web-Map of Tourist Establishments of the City of Manila Using Scalar Vector Graphics

Abstract

This Special Problem (SP) entitled, “A Dynamic Web-Map of Tourist Establishments of the City of Manila Using Scalar Vector Graphics”, displays tourist spots in the city of Manila. Scalar Vector Graphics, a new language using two-dimensional graphics in XML, was used in making this tourist map. Depending on user query, the map can display/hide map structures (tourist spots) in the map. It also displays information regarding the object.

Its target users are the Department of Tourism, who would act as the administrator of the system, and the tourists who would be using the map. The system was designed to accommodate two kinds of users, namely, the System Administrator and the ordinary User. The User can view and make queries using the map. The System Administrator can add map structures and map properties. Map structures are the objects in the map symbolized by the circles. This user, in the same manner, can update and view the map. This online system runs on PHP, MySQL, HTML and Javascript.
