Portal Masjid “Mosque Wanted” Solusi Pencarian Lokasi Masjid, Info Kajian & Berita Seputar Masjid di Yogyakarta

The dissemination of information and news about mosques in the Yogyakarta area has predominantly relied on social media and the Internet. Most mosques, especially the larger ones, have established their own social media accounts to showcase their activities. However, the information shared is typically limited to text and graphics, such as WhatsApp broadcasts, Instagram posts, Facebook updates, Twitter tweets, or posters displayed within the mosque premises. This text and graphic-based approach restricts accessibility for individuals who are unable to attend mosque activities due to various reasons, including difficulties in navigating to the mosque. This research aims to develop a Web-based Geographical Information System (GIS) that provides a mosque search solution, study information, and news about mosques in Yogyakarta. The system utilizes a responsive web design to enhance the dissemination of information, facilitate navigation, and stimulate public interest in studying Islamic sciences in Yogyakarta. The outcomes of this study offer valuable support to mosque administrators in providing comprehensive information about the mosque, particularly for Islamic da'wah activities. By incorporating detailed information and location data into the system, the dissemination of da'wah information can be improved. Moreover, the system enables the community to easily locate nearby mosques that offer Islamic da'wah activities and access real-time information about these activities.
