DATA VISUALIZATION FOR PIG HERDS IN TRA VINH PROVINCE BASED ON GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS)

Abstract

Building a system of data visualization of pig herds in Tra Vinh province based on GIS (Geographic Information System) will help management agencies update, do statistical analysis of and forecast the fluctuation in pig herds within the provincial area. Since then, pig farmers will have reliable information, which canmake their investment more efficient. The system is built on the WebGIS platform combining solutions for processing map data with PostGIS - an extension of PostgreSQL database management system to manage GIS objects. Additionally, the system will also provide solutions to handle and share pig herd data on the map with Geoserver - an open source server with the aim of connecting geographic information from PostGIS to Geoweb.
