Development of Crowd Sourcing Data Feeder for the
People In Needs During the Disaster Event Through the
Telegram BOT API Integrated With the Tuxgeo+
Backend Geo-spatial and Non Geo-spatial Database
Presented by:
Dr Mohd Ashraf Mohd Ismail (USM)
People In Needs : Vulnerable people including the disabled people, elderly,
pregnant women, children, people with medical conditions.
Telegram BOT API : free cross, cloud based –platform messaging apps
(messages can be sent and accessed from multiple devices).
Tuxgeo+ Backend : Cloud based map
visualization platform that can be accessed
via web and mobile
Geospatial Database: the data or information
that identifies the geographic location of
features and boundaries.
Non-geospatial Database : the data or
information that not consider the geographic
location such as socio-demographic data
Important Keywords:
Mobility of the Person
(Ability to move independently;
ability to do basic daily needs;
pregnant lady)
Health conditions of the person
(Dependency on medication, health
equipment's etc)
People in Needs
Disabilities (OKU)
Preparation of list: People Requiring Support
During Disaster Interview sessions with the government agencies throughout Kelantan State:
District Government
Agency Outcomes
Kota Bharu
Majlis
Keselamatan
Negara (MKN);
BOMBA; Jabatan
Pertahanan
Awam (JPAM);
UPEN, Kelantan
Among all the government agencies
interviewed throughout Kelantan, 100% of
the agencies had not prepared the list of
people requiring support during disaster
although some of them had an intention to
do so:
The following reasons are stated:
i. Still in planning stage and not yet
decided the definition/category people
requiring support
ii. Ketua kampung/Penggawa understand
who needs support in their respective
area therefore no such a list is needed
to be prepared by the government
agencies.

Preparation of list: People Requiring
Support During Disaster Interview sessions with the government agencies throughout Kelantan State:
Consequences of the Outcomes
Evacuation Planning and Process
i. No proper planning of evacuation activities for people requiring support in
general
ii. No individual evacuation plan could be prepared
iii. No effective evacuation support training was provided
iv. In case Ketua Kampung/Penggawa prepared a list of only people whom they
can figure out, some people requiring support may be excluded from
evacuation process because the list is not distributed to the relevance agencies
(e.g BOMBA)
Shelter and Disaster Relief Center
i. No facilities (e.g. barrier free living environments) provided for the people
requiring support
ii. Do not provide comfortable environments for people requiring support and
elderly people
iii. Capacity to accept large number of people requiring support
iv. Nursing care for people requiring support

Criteria Cloud Messaging Apps Mobile Apps
Security Encrypted data Vulnerable to threat
Connectivity Can send data with GPRS and EDGE
(image needs EDGE) Can only send data with 3G and above
Storage Encrypted Cloud (no server required)
concept Need a dedicated server (costly)
Cost Free and only use your own tool API
(only 1 programming language)
Costly to be build for IOS, Windows and Android
platforms (need different programming
languages for different platform)
Upgrade Free upgrade with a new version of
telegram
Need to upgrade the mobile apps when the
newer version of IOS, Windows and Android
platforms available
Data location Build in GPS location with customize
maps
No data location function and need to write a
programme for data location function
User Unlimited number of user Large number of user will slowdown the server
Adaptation Low barrier entry Moderate to high barrier entry
Device and
OS suitability Cross platform/device Specific to certain devices based on OS/platform
Data Feeder: Telegram vs Mobile Apps
Not only for pre-disaster
preparedness but also
database for special needs
groups (JKM, Dialysis
Centres, Pusat Zakat, etc)
1. Special needs groups sub categories.
2. Type of the chronic diseases of the special needs groups
3. Standard level of care of the special needs groups
4. Category of the evacuation centres

2) Type of Business: Structured data management especially mainly
in societal well-being using geo-web visualization.
3) Social Innovation: Novel solution to disaster management
specifically for people in needs that is more effective, efficient and
sustainable. The value created accrues primarily to society rather than
to private individuals.
4) Improvement of the process: The system has proven to cut down
time spent using conventional approach where the data were
manually collected and managed and has proven to be inefficient to be
used during the disaster.
Potential Application
Category Proposed Prototype Existing product
Data feeder
Cloud messaging apps (Telegram) as
data feeder platform (low barrier entry
– easy adoption)
Mobile apps as data feeder platform
Application
Pre disaster and during disaster
(focusing more on the pre disaster
situational awareness)
During disaster
Function
Focused for people in needs only
(OKU, Health conditions; mobility of
the person) where the spatial and non-
spatial data can be used for various
purposes such as disaster
management, aide distribution etc.)
Various type of disaster and emergency
cases (Flood, hurricane, landslide etc.) –
non specific application
Data
management
Integration with spatial and non spatial
database
Either only spatial or non spatial database
no seamless integration
Cost Cost effective and lower maintenance Costly – multiple platform maintenance
User Approve process for white list using
