Abstract

Multimedia and Geographic Information System (GIS), which may be categorized as information technologies. However, the main factor that differ the two technologies is one of capability of visualizing real world objects. Real world object are usually dynamic in nature whereas the present capability of GIS technology is limited to only displaying static object. This paper reports the results of an effort to develop a software model called- Multimedia and GIS Integrator- . The development of the integrator was base on the concept of hypermap and GIS within media approach. The study used ActiveX MapObject, MS Visual Basic, MSHTML and MS Acces to develop the integrator. As such ActiveX MapObject is used to manage map while MS Visual Basic was made as the programming language for the multimedia. To visualize multimedia elements from a particular map location, the study used the MSHTML. A database was developing using MS Acces. The software model was testes using the coastal area of Larut Matang, Perak Malaysia as study area. The result showed that the integrator fulfills the requirements of a multimedia GIS as well as capable of handing the relationship between maps, map layers and its coordinate system. Keywords: Multimedia, GIS, Hypermap
