Abstract

This paper examines the design and implementation of a web-based geo-multimedia event management system that allows users to create, store, and visualize travel and performance events, enriched with multimedia content and precise geographic location.
As a proof of concept, the system is applied to an interactive travel diary for performers, allowing them to document rehearsals, performances, and trips by placing geotagged photos, videos, and notes on the map.
The proposed platform uses HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the frontend, Leaflet.js for interactive map visualization, and Firebase for data and multimedia storage. The system allows for rapid event entry with automatic GPS geocoding, text notes, and photo attachment.

Keywords

geomultimedia, web application, location-based services, travel diary
