Web-based geographic information system (GIS) is a GIS system which uses web technology to serve users. By utilizing the internet to access information over the web, the GIS user can fully utilize the geospatial information despite the distance between the server and client. Through presenting the land use changes via web based GIS, it will estimate the percentages of land use change that helped the local authority to mitigate any conflict that might happen during the development. The study site chosen is Jeli, Kelantan as to see how the land use changes have occurred during the past years. To demonstrate the land use changes, Landsat 8 satellite data of 2014 and 2018 has been chosen and the implementation based on web site is developed. This work designed in two parts such that data visualization on map and data presentation to users. The first part used the ArcMap, QGIS and Open Layer software to develop the land use changes to present on map whereas PHP language and MySQL is used in second part by manipulating the data to be shown on web site. The results show that the proposed system can be used to assist any organization, public and individual to access the geospatial data by using web-based GIS for land use changes information.
