INTRODUCTION
Mapping village administrative boundaries has an
important role in regional management, development planning and conflict
management (Baharuddin, Refki, & Fuady, 2020). In the Arahan Kidul area, there are challenges in data
completeness and accuracy of village administrative boundary maps. This lack of
data can hinder effective planning efforts and reduce transparency in regional
governance (Mahasin, 2021). Therefore, the use of GIS (Geographic Information
System ) software emerged as a potential solution to overcome this problem
(Masnur, Alam, & Muhammad, 2022).
Utilizing GIS software in creating village
administrative boundary maps provides many benefits (Luis, Dharmawan, & Priyono, 2021). First, GIS allows combining data from various sources,
including spatial data and attributes related to village administration
(Heldayani, Saputra, & Mala, 2018). This allows incomplete or inaccurate data to be
corrected. Second, GIS also allows interactive visualization of data in the
form of digital maps, which can facilitate understanding and analysis of
village administrative boundaries (Supuwiningsih & Muhammad Rusli, 2020). Lastly, GIS software can produce maps with a
high level of accuracy, which is very important to avoid potential conflicts or
different interpretations regarding territorial boundaries (Yusuf, 2017).
Through the use of GIS software , it is hoped that
the creation of village administrative boundary maps in the Arahan Kidul area
can be done more efficiently and accurately. By completing incomplete village
data and utilizing the analysis features provided by GIS, the resulting mapping
results can provide accurate and useful information for better regional
planning and management.
METHOD
The research method for making a map of the administrative boundaries of
Arahan Kidul Village involves several important stages to achieve the goal of
making an accurate and informative map. The following are the stages in this
research method:
1. Village Boundary Information Data Collection
Village boundary information data was collected through interaction with
village officials and field observations. This information includes verbal
descriptions, existing sketch maps, as well as information from community leaders
who have knowledge of village boundaries.
2. Creating Administrative Boundary Vector Data
At this stage, the village administrative boundary data that has been
collected is used to create vector data in digital format. This process is
carried out through digitization using
QGIS software. Google Earth maps are used as a basis for easy identification
and digitization of
administrative boundaries.
3. Digitization of Public Facilities, Roads and Rivers
Apart from administrative boundaries, this stage involves digitizing public facilities, roads
and rivers in the village area. This aims to complete the spatial information
needed to create a more comprehensive map.
4. Preparing Vector Data Layers and Managing Symbology
After the vector data is collected, the next step is to arrange the data
layers. This involves grouping data by type (e.g., village boundaries, public
facilities, roads, rivers) and arranging appropriate symbology to differentiate
each type of data on the map.
5. Create a Map Layout
At this stage, the map that has been constructed in the software will be
arranged in layout form which
is ready to be printed or presented. Layout
settings include the placement of the title, legend, scale, and other
elements needed in the final map.
6. Advanced Processing and Validation
After the map is planned, the further processing stage includes
revalidation of existing data and information. This process aims to ensure the
accuracy and consistency of the map before it is produced in final form.
7. Dissemination of Results
The finished village administrative boundary map can be disseminated to the
village government, community and other related parties. This aims to provide
benefits to various parties who need information regarding administrative
boundaries and characteristics of village areas.
By following these steps, the creation of a map of the administrative
boundaries of Arahan Kidul Village can be done in a more structured and
effective manner. This method enables data integrity and map accuracy required
for planning and decision making purposes.
RESULTS
AND DISCUSSION
In this research, a map of village administrative
boundaries in the Arahan Kidul area was created using GIS ( Geographic
Information System ) software . Spatial data and village administrative
attributes obtained from various sources are combined to produce vector digital
data that represents village administrative boundaries. From this data,
accurate and informative village administrative boundary maps can be produced.
In addition, printed maps of village administrative boundaries are also
produced for the purpose of physical presentation to the public.
The following is a map of the administrative boundaries
of Arahan Kidul Village.

Making village administrative boundary maps using GIS software
is a strategic step in meeting the need for accurate and easily accessible
data. The use of GIS software allows combining various types of data
related to village administration, such as spatial data and attribute
information, into a single unit that can be processed and visualized. This
supports the correction of incomplete or inaccurate data, so that the final map
results can reflect real conditions in the field.
The resulting digital vector data for village
administrative boundaries has advantages in terms of flexibility and ease of
processing. This data can be used in various GIS software and other
mapping programs, facilitating detailed analysis and further development in the
context of regional planning. Apart from that, printed maps of village administrative
boundaries have an important role in communicating with the community. Printed
maps provide a more realistic and easy to understand visual representation,
which can help people clearly understand village boundaries.
In
the context of the Arahan Kidul area, accurate village administrative boundary
maps have a positive impact in various aspects. Regional management can be
carried out more effectively and on target, development planning can be better
prepared, and the potential for conflict caused by different interpretations of
administrative boundaries can be minimized. Apart from that, the community can
also have a better understanding of their village's administrative area,
resulting in participation in decision making region-related
decisions can be improved.
CONCLUSION
In this research, a map of village administrative
boundaries in the Arahan Kidul area has been successfully created using GIS software
. By combining spatial data and village administrative attributes, digital
administrative boundary vector data was successfully produced. Printed maps of
village administrative boundaries are also produced for visual communication
purposes to the community. The use of GIS technology in making this map has had
a positive impact on regional management, development planning, and community
understanding of village boundaries.
