Mobile application development with augmented reality for promoting tourism objects in Southwest Sumba

The development of tourism in Indonesia especially Purbalingga District showed a positive trend which was the number two of favorite destination in Central Java province after Borobudur Temple. One attempt to participate for promoting the tourism objects is by creating a promotion idea based on Augmented Reality technology. The previous research already used a tourist brochure with Augmented Reality technology which giving the impression of a real interactive as well as providing a great experience to get complete information. However, the problem is difficult to find the location. Therefore, this study has aim to develop the promotion media by using a mobile augmented reality application with location-based service (LBS) by using extreme programming (XP). The implemented system includes various types of content such as text, pictures, and video. By using this application can display information as well as the detection of POI (Point of Interest) via Android smartphone to determine and indicate the location of tourism objects. The future work is integrating database both of mobile and web application for updating information. Also, there is the additional content for tourist object support such as hotel, restaurant, transportation and the other public facilities.

Tourism can be defined as a whole activity by people who do traveling to stay in one place out of the daily activities for not more than one year for leisure, business, and other purpose. Ecotourism as mentioned on UU No.9 year 1990, article 16 as an objects groups for an attractive tourism can be defined as a unique travel at national park, forest and nature tourism. Bay tourism and marine tourism is a part of Ecotourism. Marine tourism development in general is an effort for developing and using tourism object and marine tourism in Indonesian sea. The consumers behavior patterns from the tourist, they are not focus on leisure enjoying sun, sea and sand but change to higher tourism, that is enjoying the product or cultural creation and heritage. Than nature or ecotourism from one place to other country. This change need to be taken care with a lot of development tourism product also promotion on government and self investor. Marine tourism activities will need a big investment, condition, and law. To handle all this complex problems with optimal, Pangandaran also will need to arrange regulation in order using the potential of the sea for tourism activities in marine tourism development.

Batam City is an island in the north of Indonesia because it is at the crossroads between countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand, so Batam City is a business and tourist destination. To increase domestic and international tourist visits, the Batam City Government has carried out promotions in various ways such as promotions through the Batam City Culture and Tourism Office website, social media. But there is no application to promote tourist attractions in Batam City, it is necessary to build an application for recognizing tourist objects in Batam City which includes visualization of tourist objects in 3D and information about tourist objects to make it easier for tourists to choose tourist objects according to their wishes. This research developed an application to recognize tourism objects in Batam City using augmented reality markers with the application of the SDLC (System Development Life Cycle) Waterfall model method. The augmented reality (AR) technology tracking method used in this study is marker-based tracking. Based on the results of functional testing, shows that the application functions properly. The results of the user satisfaction test gave a good value so the results found that the application was very well received by users.

Riam Jito, waterfall located in a protected forest area in Mobui village, is well known of its uniqueness and natural tourism object attractiveness. It becomes an opportunity for the surrounding people, particulary for the Harapan Maju farmer group, which already has a certification for community forest utilization permit (IUPHHKm) to utilize environment service and to leverage their welfare eventually. The feasibility study is aimed to analyse the environment potential and recommend strategies to develop conservational and sustainable tourism object. The ODTWA (Objek Daya Tarik Wisata Alam = Nature based Tourism Objects and Attraction) analysis shows that the Riam Jito waterfall and Maria cave deserved to obtain further development as natural and religious tourism object by reaching its potential level up to 74.5%. According to the SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threat) analysis, some major issues to be followed up are related to facilities and infrastructure development, regulation to minimize the social gap and ecosystem conservation, local government and private partnership sector, and capacity building for Pokdarwis as the tourism object management.

Location-based services (LBSs) that collect and utilize location data in real time through mobile devices have been widely used recently. LBSs use a clustering algorithm to extract a user’s point of interest (POI) from a stay point; the POI is defined as a place that an individual stays in or uses for a given amount of time. However, the DBSCAN algorithm increases the amount of unnecessary iterative clustering computations as the amount of stay point data increases, thus causing an increase in overall computation time. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an algorithm to improve big data-based POI extraction speed.

This study's first objective is to analyse tourists' use to increase the income of tourist objects in Makassar City. To accelerate and strengthen economic development following the potential advantages of marine tourism, accelerate growth by supporting tourism, namely developing government programs in the tourism sector. To take advantage of the potential and utilization of tourists to increase community income in marine tourism objects. The goals and targets to be achieved in long-term research are. This study's results can contribute to and support the use of tourists for research on increasing income in marine tourism objects so that they contribute to improving the revenue of maritime tourism objects.

The combination of augmented reality (AR) and location-based services provides mobile users with an intuitive and easy way to access the real-world aware information via their mobile devices, as connecting the physical and cyber world. However, mobile AR interactions limit target objects that are located within a specific distance of the current location of users. In this paper, we propose a new service model, called MixedWalk, for aligning point-of-interest (POI) information with the users' virtual movement in the mobile AR environment. It allows the mobile user to virtually move ahead along the street coupled with the real-time camera scene and identify POIs without actual movements in the real world. We firstly design 'Virtual Movement' layer between the physical-view and information-query layer to provide a natural interaction of the MixedWalk service. Secondly, an efficient processing method is considered for the continuous movement query composed of pie-shape region queries. A pie-shape query is described by a camera location, a viewing direction, and a visible threshold distance. Finally, we demonstrate an implementation of Android applications with the Aenigol dining district in Goyang-si of Gyeonggi-do in Korea.

This study aims to analyze the development strategy of Cultural Tourism Object Benteng Makes in Belu Regency. The samples were 30 respondents who gained by using purposive sampling technique. Data analysis using SWOT. The results showed that based on Grand Strategy Matrix, the Cultural Tourism Object of Benteng Makes is in quadrant I which means it supports the strategy aggressively and also the strategy of SO (Strength Opportunities) as a priority strategy. The development strategy for Benteng Makes as a Cultural Tourism Object needs to be considered from various aspects of development such as tourists, adequate accessibility, attractions or tourism objects, service facilities around tourist objects, information and promotion as well as institutions in terms of quality human resources. Suggestions in this research are the need to provide facilities at the Cultural Tourism Object of Benteng Makes which is still lacking, the cooperation with related parties in order to maintain and preserve tourism objects, promote tourism objects to be better known and visited, as well as synergy with the Regional Government and Academics in terms of providing quality human resources in the tourism sector.

A point of interest (POI) is a particular location point that is useful or interesting for people, such as restaurants, museums, parks and hotels. POIs are mostly used on location based social media applications, especially for place recommendation. Social media users share the places they like and discovering such new POIs has importance for understanding the taste and preference of city citizens and for understanding the city. An important problem is, in a given social media message, detecting which word can be POI. This process of retrieving points of interest from a text is called POI extraction. In this work, we propose methods to extract POIs from microblogs. We explore both machine learning and artificial neural network based approaches. As machine learning approach, we use Conditional Random Fields (CRF) for sequential tagging. We investigate the effect of various additional features such as sentiment of tweets, POI density and population density of the location where the tweet was posted. We also use built-in features of CRF. As a hybrid approach, we generate word embeddings by Word2vec and apply K-Nearest Neighbors classification algorithm on the vectors constructed. Finally we construct a deep, feed-forward neural network to extract POIs from microblog text. These techniques are applied on a collection of tweets in Turkish posted by users from Ankara. Experimental results show that CRF constructed with POI density feature outperforms CRF with other feature sets along with other neural network approaches in terms of POI extraction accuracy.

In this paper, we analyzed the c urrent status of the art of mobile AR and proposed a novel Points of Interest (POIs) data model based on ontology to provide context-aware information retrievals on lots of POIs data. Proposed ontology was expanded from the stan dard POIs data model of W3C POIs Working Group and established using OWL (Web Ontology Language) and Protege. We also proposed a context-aware mobile AR platform which can resolve three distinguished issues in curren t platforms：interoperability problem of POI tags, POIs data retrieval issue, and context-aware service issue.
