Abstract
Equitable healthcare services require the support of information systems capable of presenting data spatially and being easily accessible to decision-makers. However, most of the geographic information systems currently in use still rely on server-based architecture and centralized databases, which demand technical resources and infrastructure that are not always available at the regional level. This research aims to design a client-side WebGIS system to analyze the distribution of healthcare services in Sukabumi Regency. The system was developed using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript technologies with the use of LeafletJS and OpenStreetMap as the base map, as well as GeoJSON and Google Sheets as sources of dynamic spatial and non-spatial data. The client-side processing approach allows the entire process of visualization and spatial analysis to be carried out on the client side without reliance on the database server. The implementation results show that the system is capable of presenting interactive maps, facility distribution analysis, and identifying areas with unmet healthcare service needs. The novelty of this research lies in the implementation of a lightweight, flexible, and easily replicable client-side WebGIS architecture, making it suitable for institutions with limited technical resources in the development of spatial information systems.
