| description | Development of databases has become a major activity in computer industry. Database
plays significant role in many fields which slowly has its impact on wildlife
management. With a reliable database, storage of information on wildlife is proper,
safe and well managed. The main objective of the study is to develop a computerized
database on wildlife in Malaysia. The database contained 966 species which included
320 species of mammals and 646 species of birds in Malaysia. Both primary data and
secondary data were compiled in the database. Important components used in the
database are such as scientific name, local name, common English name, order, family,
grouping, brief description, photo, status, protection feeding structures and habitat of
the wildlife.
Designing the database comprised of three major phases; data collection, data design
and system design. In data design, an Entity Relationship model was designed to describe entities, relationship and attributes of the 'Wildlife Database'. Four entities
were identified namely Wildlife, Habitat, Feeding Structure and Protection. In the
system design phase, major designing works were concentrated on data flow, menu
system, form design and graphical user interface. Selected software was Microsoft
Access 97 as the storage and application software. Upon completion, the database run
on PC with at least Pentium 100 Mhz, 64 MB RAM Memory, CD ROM 20 X and VGA
Card. It is necessary to have Microsoft Windows 95 and Microsoft Access 97 to run the
application.
The need for researchers, students, lecturers or even normal user to retrieve valuable
information on wildlife quickly and accurately can be achieved through this project
Futhermore, with the development of the 'Wildlife Database of Malaysia', it is hoped
that it will facilitate the management of wildlife in Malaysia or even in neighbouring
countries. |
