Sharing a Project: Democratizing Local Spatial Data with ArcGIS Experience Builder (KADATA) 🗺️💻

Hello Esri YPN Community! 👋

It is Andre again! I am excited to share another project that bridges the gap between urban planning and geospatial technology. While my previous posts focused on complex spatial modeling, this project focuses on data accessibility and public empowerment.

The Challenge: Local Data Scarcity In regional planning, availability of accurate and easily accessible spatial data is a fundamental requirement. However, at the local sub-district (Kecamatan) level, there is often a critical lack of comprehensive thematic maps. This data scarcity makes it difficult for local governments to identify physical characteristics and formulate evidence-based policy directions.

The Solution: KADATA (Kecamatan Dalam Peta) To overcome this, I developed a web-based GIS platform called "KADATA". Acting as an interactive portal, it visualizes spatial data to support planning in designated development areas, specifically utilizing the Wilayah Pengembangan (WP) Rumpin as our pilot project.

Here is the end-to-end workflow utilizing the Esri ecosystem:

1. Spatial Processing (ArcGIS Pro) We processed and analyzed various spatial datasets to generate ready-to-view thematic layers. The data is structured into three main categories: Base Physical Maps (morphology, hydrogeology), Land Capability Analysis, and Mining & Industry distribution.

2. Cloud Backend (ArcGIS Online) The processed layers were published as feature layers to ArcGIS Online. This serves as the secure spatial backend, handling real-time data requests from the web application.

3. Interactive UI (ArcGIS Experience Builder) To ensure the platform is intuitive for both government officials and the general public, I developed a modular user interface using ArcGIS Experience Builder. I integrated several advanced widgets, including dynamic legends, interactive pie charts for statistical breakdowns, and a custom feature allowing users to upload and overlay their own external shapefiles (SHP) directly onto the live web map.

💡 Explore the Live WebGIS Demos: I have published three specific sub-portals for this project. Feel free to interact with them below!

The Impact By centralizing this data into a main portal and distributing it through sub-portals for local districts, KADATA empowers local governments to make better decisions while providing the public with transparent access to spatial information.

Let's Discuss! For those of you who frequently build web applications for local governments or non-technical stakeholders, what are your "must-have" widgets in ArcGIS Experience Builder? How do you balance providing advanced analytical tools with keeping the interface user-friendly?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Best regards,

Andre
