CRISTAL CARL R. RESABA, Department of Geodetic Engineering, College of Engineenng and Computer Studies, Pampanga State Agricultural University, Magalang, Pampanga. October 2021, "DEVELOPMENT OF COMPUTER-BASED CROWD DENSITY MONITORING SYSTEM ON THE ACADEMIC BUILDINGS OF PAMPANGA STATE AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY USING QR CODE" Adviser: RUSSEL JOHN G. CLARETE, GE The study focused on the development of a computer-based system of two interconnected programs that aims to monitor the crowd density of academic buildings within the PSAU premises. The main program contains three (3) main functions, which are: Crowd Density Monitoring - where a user can view the crowd density of certain buildings in the university; Centralized Database =~ stores information that can be accessed by the user; and lastly, QR code generator - generates QR codes containing the ID number, name and the course/profession of an individual. The second program consists of an attendance monitoring system that scans QR codes saved and sent to the main program through the Local Area Network. The study was conducted due to the demanding task of implementing the limitation on the number of people in a certain area within the university. The researcher came up with an idea to provide a reliable means of accessing data on the enforcement of the limit on the number of individuals by providing a GlS-based map for visualization of crowd density in a given building. The study was made possible with the use of several software applications, namely Unity Engine, Quantum GIS, Google Earth, Visual Studio Community 2019, C# (C-Sharp), Microsoft SQL Server, QR Scanner, and Adobe Photoshop CC. As there is no existing system for crowd density monitoring in the university, the development of a computer-based crowd density monitoring system on the buildings of the university is beneficial. Such system can be used to graphically represent information through GiS-based map for visualization of crowd density on the academic buildings within university premises. Quantum GIS and Unity Engine were used to simulate the crowd density of rooms as well as the User Interface for the map and charts, which prowdes for improved visualization and graphic representation of room population density edormation. The researcher also concludes that the use of such system can provide a means te easily access data on the enforcement of the limit on the number of individuals in a gen building within the university as it provides a centralized database that stores wéormation that can be accessed by the user. As such, the system can be used to assess # the enforcement of the limit on the number of people on academic buildings within the wniversity premises is being carried out effectively. Through the study, an attendance monitoring system as an alternative approach was developed that does not compromise safety and security. A QR code generator is wsed to generate OR codes containing the ID number, name and the course/profession of an individual, which then will be read and interpreted by a QR code scanner serving as both an attendance monitoring system and a way to monitor the number of individuals in a specific room of a particular building within the university. The results obtained through testing shows the system's acceptability among the 67 respondents based on the 8 questions provided by the researcher. As shown on the over-all mean of 3.85 in the table, it can be asserted that the respondents strongly agree with the items pertaining to their perception on the system's acceptability.
