Abstract

Efficient geospatial data management is crucial for urban planning, land administration, and infrastructure development. Conventional static databases often lack real-time access and advanced spatial processing capabilities. This study aims to design and develop a scalable and efficient geo-portal system for managing second-order geodetic control points' geospatial data in Ibadan, Nigeria. The system integrates MongoDB for fast spatial data querying, Node.js and Express.js for server-side operations, and Leaflet.js for interactive mapping. It supports real-time data access, spatial indexing, and on-the-fly coordinate transformation between WGS84 and Minna Datum. Performance testing demonstrated an average response time of 200ms and a 92% user satisfaction rate, indicating system efficiency and usability. The developed geo-portal enhances access to geospatial information, supporting better decision-making in urban planning and land administration. Future improvements include predictive spatial analytics and integration with commercial geospatial platforms.
