DEVELOPMENT OF MOBILE BOREHOLE INFORMATION SYSTEM

A variety of desktop and web-based programs have been developed up to date with the use of Geographic Information System tools for borehole data which are widely used in underground and aboveground field studies. With the help of these programs; from the input data to presentation of the results obtained by various queries and analysis, a series of operations can be carried out in various forms. In recent years, various mobile applications have been developed as well as borehole information system with the increasing use and development of mobile device technology The programs and applications developed in desktop, web and mobile environment have different features. Also, it can not be said that there is a common data standard which is valid all over the world or our country. In this study, a map-based mobile application on the iOS platform where spatial queries can be made, borehole points and informations could be seen was developed. This application that has a user-friendly interface developed with the Swift programming language, using the latest version of the xCode development environment. Using a cloud database instead of a local (in-device) database was provided in terms of centrally kept, managed and updated data outside the mobile device. NoSQL was used as a alternative of relational databases. As a result, the developed application provides the best usage performance. It is possible to make spatial searches, both semantic and based on a point marked on the map or entered with coordinates, and all the borehole information recorded in the system can be shown effectively even on small screen smart devices.
