Online Submission, Paper presented at the International Euroasian Educational Research Congress (11th, Izmit, Türkiye, Mar 21-24, 2024)
With the growing population in our country, participation in exams organized by institutions such as ÖSYM, Anadolu University, Istanbul University and Atatürk University increases every year. Although the examiners advise candidates to visit the exam halls before the exam, this is not always possible. Therefore, it is of great importance to know the exam location and route, especially the exact location of the exam hall within the building in advance. In this study, it is aimed to use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to determine the building and hall routes for external exams in Dokuzçesmeler Campus of Dokuz Eylül University and to design a web-based application that can be used by exam candidates. Within the scope of the study, the architectural drawings of the exam halls were digitized, the building plans updated as a result of field research were transferred to the GIS environment with CAD-based applications and integrated into Google Maps. Exam halls were differentiated from other rooms by coloring, and written directions and open entrances of the buildings were visually presented to the user. This application provides an alternative solution to the limited directions service in the existing exam entrance documents and develops a GIS-based route determination method for the exam halls in Dokuzçesmeler Campus. It is aimed that the study will be implemented in other campuses of the university in a short time and contribute to the literature in terms of the solution method of the problem and the technologies used.
