Abstract

The campus area is gradually expanding with the increasing number of university students. Consequently, it is difficult for freshmen or visiting staff to find a specific building at the campus. The study aimed to Develop a Campus Web GIS Navigation System for the study area using Geospatial technology. The general procedures to create a web map navigation application are Geo-referencing Images, digitization, Road Network Analysis, Overlay Analysis, and finally, a Web GIS Based Campus Navigation System has been developed. The main activity of thesystem application is the map activity. It displays the campus map of the Wachemo University. The user can zoom and scroll this map to get to his/her desired places. The building map is the basic layer of this screen. The end user can access it by using this link: https://wcu- webmap.github.io/Web-Map-of-WCU/
