Management of Information and Infrastructure of Indigenous Community at Royal Belum State Park Using Geographical Information System: a Conceptual Design

. Nowadays, an integrated location, descriptive inventory data and geographical information are required for a better decision making in Indigenous community management activities. The management system can improve productivity and to save time, money and man power. Conventional maps and Indigenous inventories on papers or spread sheet are lack of meeting these requirements which are not static and subjected to change rapidly. The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Database Management (DBM) System are capabilities and confined in manipulation of location and descriptive data, respectively. A GIS system is chosen in Management Information and Infrastructure of Indigenous Communities because its meets all the requirements that can help the authorities to managed the community. GIS able to manipulate location and descriptive data as well as the relationships between them are dynamic. This paper will discussed briefly the conceptual design of GIS activities and Indigenous community in Royal Belum State Park, Malaysia, then terminology and theoretical concepts of GIS, Indigenous community management and the link between them are reviewed.

Thus, to meet the purpose of this study an information management system on Indigenous communities can be developed using the application of geographic information system (GIS).
Geographic information system (GIS) is a combination of map and database that can be seen on the database table when clicked on a map. There are five components in the GIS which are the hardware, software, data collection, analysis, and peoples. In addition, GIS software provides the functions and tools needed to store, query, display, analyze, create and modify the geographical information that have been referred. In this era of technology, users prefer to use database system rather than using conventional methods which is by using a map. By using a database system, the general information about the indigenous peoples in Royal Belum is immediately available and more convenient than using a map as socioeconomic, educational, and other facilities. In addition, knowing the places of indigenous community placements using a database system, the local peoples and people from the outside country will be able to know the culture and way of life easily.
Moreover, Geographic information system (GIS) is one of the techniques to access the database system and know the information of development of Indigenous community in Royal Belum State Park especially the groups from Jahai tribes since 5 years ago. The interface of the database can be used for the user to select the information from the map. Thus, the user can get the information about the way of life, the infrastructure and others that attract tourists to visit them. The database system of the tourism gives much more advantages to the user and also gives a benefit to the other sector as well.
The advantage of using the map can increase the society especially for both government and private agencies which is to know the information of attractive location and for the other purpose. The map is a two-dimensional surface which shown the location of where lies a residential and other uses. There are many disadvantages of using a map as the information about the placement of the Indigenous community in Malaysia is limited. This is because other information about the Indigenous community such as socio-economic information, facilities, and others cannot be shown on the map. Furthermore, the information on Indigenous communities play an important role because it is a medium to introduce Indigenous culture and socioeconomic to other people. Therefore, it is can give an advantage to neither the industry nor the agency that would like to obtain information about the indigenous community in more specific. Besides, the limited of information about the Indigenous community is causing difficulties in identifying the developments of infrastructure among indigenous communities in Royal Belum State Park. Nowadays, insufficient data on the information of infrastructure and Indigenous community in the management and administration of the community such as school type, education level and others will be caused the Indigenous community is not developed in line with the mainstream of development and modernization of our country. Therefore, a database system (GIS) is established to provide a facility to overcome the problems mentioned. The presence of GIS is capable of storing and managing attribute information database and digital cartographic data, but this system allows the data is manipulated simultaneously (Zamri, 2007).

Theoretical Concepts on GIS
According to Gönül Toz et.al. (1992), Geographical Information System (GIS) consists of geographical data, computer hardware, software, personnel designed to collect, storage, manage, query, analysis and present large volume of spatial data associated attributes in order to allow the users to make better decision, to improve productivity, to save time, money and manpower. Generally, the term data corresponds to discrete, recorded facts about the phenomenon from which people gain information about the real world. In the context of geography, data may be considered, as data about geographic features such as roads, buildings, river etc, and phenomena, such as weather forecast, earthquake, etc. Conventional maps provide very effective graphical information of the geographic features, but they are not very useful for supporting data retrieval (Gönül Toz, et. al., 1992). Data retrieval from the maps is usually done by a visual search, a process that is neither efficient nor reliable. Spatial analysis is more difficult to conduct, even for a simple application such as calculation the total area of the village in the State Park, the amount of manual work involved is sometimes prohibitive. A geographic information system (GIS) is a computer-based information system that enables capture, modeling storage, retrieval, sharing manipulation, analysis, and presentation of geographical referenced data. Geographically l referenced data is a special data that relates to the surface of the earth. The basic element of GIS is database element. A database is a collection of data organized in such a way that a computer can efficiently store and retrieve the data. Any information can only be as good as its data. Gönül Toz, et. al., (1992), stated that the sources of a GIS may be consists of conventional maps, orthophoto or photo maps, digital maps, aerial photos, satellite images, video images, land observations, cadastral records, computer-aided drawings, database files and text files. The main requirements of GIS are ability to handle multilayered, heterogeneous databases of spatially indexed data, to query the databases about the location and properties of a range of spatial objects. The GIS system requirement is the ability to manage the efficiency such as queries in an interactive mode, ability not to retrieve but also to create new information and flexibility in configuring the system in order to accommodate a variety of specific applications.
The database is the foundation of a GIS. Knowledge of the fundamental principles of databases is necessary to understand GIS technology. In order to act effectively as a data store, a computer system must have the confidence of its users. The database philosophy is an attempt to solve integrity, independences, security and other problems that occur in a traditional file processing system. The idea is to place as much of the structure of the information into the databases as possible. Databases are selfdescribing, as they encode both data and the structure of that data. The means of expressing the structure and relationships in the data is provided by the data model. The data model also allows the user to enter into the database any properties of the data that are expected always to be true (integrity constraints ). Integrity constraints are an aid to maintaining correctness of the data in the database, because they only allow modifications to the database conform to these constraints.

The final result of this research is web-based GIS applications consisting of spatial and legal information related to Indigenous land development and management. The information presented is traditional territory data which show the traditional boundaries of Indigenous Communities. Another information is land settlement data which provide ownership information for land parcels. The information also includes the connecting road between the settlements with the city. However, the infrastructure that has been presented in this research is only the road or access to the settlements.
There is no information about the other infrastructures in the village area.

The Conceptual Design
Belum Indigenous Community Information and Infrastructure System (BELUMICIIS) is GIS application software for Indigenous Community management activities in Royal Belum State Park. The main GIS software package will be used to develop the database by using Quantum GIS software, which is open-source software. The software provides a continuously growing number of capabilities provided by core functions and plug-in. This software can visualize, manage, edit, analyze data and compose printable maps.
There are two types of data would be used in the BELUMICIIS namely spatial and attribute data. Spatial data will be classified into several layers, which are layers of Royal Belum State Park base map, village layer, demographic layer, infrastructure layers and map area layers. The attribute data will be added in the stated layers such as demographic data, economic structure and performance, accessibility and infrastructure inventory. BELUMICIIS geographical database consists of both location and inventory data. The location data will manually digitize cover type of the maps at Royal Belum Forest. The BELUMICIIS project has been organized into four aspects of Indigenous community management such as design, inventory, implementation, and validation. The first stage was to build the database by designing the conceptual idea of the GIS package. The conceptual design of the BELUMICIIS package is related to an entity-relationship diagram (ER-diagram). ER-diagram created to represent the entities, attributes, and relationships graphically. Building an ERdiagram may help improving the acquisition of data at the study area.
This study consists of four entities such as a clinic, house, school and community facilities -see Figure 3. Based on Figure 3, the entities data for clinic consists of demographic information such the location, number of a clinic, the number of doctors and nurses. While the entities for house will consists of the name of the owner, type of houses, the occupation and income of the owner, facilities etc. The entity of school consists of the name of the school, facilities, the number of teachers, numbers of students etc. Lastly, the communities facilities are consist of location, capacity, size, type and name of the facilities in the village. All the entities are a need for the database development. It is the process of constructing model information that can be mapped into storage objects by the DBMS. The second phase is to get the inventory information such as demographic information, community facilities, and maps. The demographic information data of the Indigenous people will be collected by using a survey form. The people information and village infrastructure data will be collected from the Department of Indegenous Community Development (JAKOA). Meanwhile, the Royal Belum State Park's map and the village's map will be collected from the Survey and Mapping Department. The location of the infrastructure and houses will be collected by using Global Navigation Satellite System and Total Station technique. All the map on hard copy will be scanned and the file format will be converted from raster into the vector format for the process of digitizing.

Conclusion
Traditional maps and inventory data are not sufficient to meet all the Indigenous community activities. The conventional method have prove that map and inventories give very limited information and have to take into account the others parameter such as time, costing, manpower, productivity etc. Based on the literature review, there is need to continue this study because, there is still not enough studies have been carried out relating to the management of information and infrastructure of indigenous community either in Malaysia or internationally. Furthermore, there is still no GIS applications are being implemented in Indigenous Community in Royal Belum State Park, Malaysia. It is hoped that this GIS application can help the authorities to collect and analyze the information. While creating the Indigenous community plans, information required can be obtained from BELUMICIIS information system. Maps and report answering to custom queries covering defined Indigenous community area are to be created and presented, more accurately, more quickly and more rentable as compared with conventional methods.
