| Abstract | In the world of web site design and feature, personalization is the process of tailoring or
customizing pages to meet or answer to the nearest individual users' characteristics or
preferences. The process is commonly used to enhance customer service or e-commerce sales.
Personalization for others is sometimes developed to be used as a recommender system that
provides personalized suggestions about item that users will find interesting.
In this research study, the purpose why this recommender system is used will be recognized
because it helps a lot in spatial decision-making. Spatial decision-making is an everyday
activity: for example when selecting a location to live, choosing a land development strategy,
allocating resources, or managing infrastructure. Vacation planning also uses of spatial
decisions by selecting a planned location to travel.
A personalization technique that is suitable and suggested in this research study for the
recommender system to generate is called Computer-Assisted Self-Explication (CASE).
CASE is an online system that asks users questions about user's interests. It then relates to a
large database of possible choices and reflects the complicated set of user interests. The goal
is to help users narrow their choices from all of possibilities to a few highly ranked
alternatives.
In this study, CASE and spatial decision-making will not only comprise a part of GIS that are
implemented together to help TAT but more importantly, will meet TAT's goal and policy. |
