The Use of Geographic Information System (GIS) MAPPING The Potential for SMEs Based On Spatial (Case Study in The City of Depok, West Java)

Abstract

Unit Business Activities of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) is one of the joints in the national economy. The role of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in supporting the economic activities of society, especially in operating the real sector, is a reality in national economic activity. In times of economic crisis, it is proven that SMEs become effective to be the dynamist of economic growth post-crisis. This becomes an important note in the development for the upcoming national economy, that in reality, SMEs which are able to survive in the crisis storm and even the toughest of economic shocks. SMEs spatial analysis, by looking at the distribution locations and their contribution, is facilitating the decision-makers to see the distribution pattern based on a particular zone. Currently in spatial mapping of SMEs in Indonesia, both in the institutions of government and educational levels and research institutions are still rare. The results of SMEs’ spatial analysis will facilitate the formulation of various policies related to the empowerment of SMEs such as infrastructure development, support of SME loans, investment development, development of marketing network, etc. The aim of this research are: 1) Analyze the kind and type of SMEs in Depok, 2) analyze the distribution by the way of SMEs’ spatial and a review of socio-economic contribution; 3) Develop a spatial database of SMEs’potential for GIS-based mapping. This study shows that the potential of SMEs in Depok is spread into 6 districts with the largest amount in Pancoran Mas (152 or 28SMEs potential Analysis is directed to the economic, social, and spatial aspect. From the economic and social aspects indicate that the type of business / SMEs’ sectors ranging from small to large scale, as seen from employment data held by each SMEs and its investment value. Spatially, the distribution SMEs’ potential, in this study, presented with clustering method, which indicates a potential based on zones units / certain areas. The analysis SMEs spatial, by looking at the spread locations and contribution, facilitating the decision-makers to see the distribution pattern based on the zone / region. Geographic Information System is a computer-based system to collect, manage, manipulate, and display spatial information (spatial), which is information related to the geometric in the sense that the information can be calculated, measured and presented in a coordinate system, with the data form of digital which consists of spatial data and attribute data (semantics). In this case, SMEs spatial data can be used to present the distribution of locations with their descriptions which managed in a non-spatial or attribute database. With the availability of data in the form of spatial, it can facilitate in the analysis, visualization, and SMEs’ data update.
