INTRODUCTION Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer based information system used
to digitally represent and analyse the geographic features present on the earth’s surface and the events (non-spatial attributes linked to the geography under study) that taking place on it. The meaning to represent digitally is to convert analogue (smooth line) into a digital form.
GIS technology integrates common database operation such as query and statistical analysis with the unique visualization and geographic analysis benefits make it valuable to a wide range to public and private enterprises for explaining events, predicting outcomes, and planning.
GIS is widely accepted as a tool for the establishment of integrating spatial and attribute data. In recent years the development of Geographical Information System (GIS) makes timely accessible of spatial and temporal data. Moreover, its capability of spatial analysis and presentation makes it useful tool for this kind of applications.
Data collection for this project is the location of various types of retaining wall in UKM that will lead to effective and efficient planning for better management. There are various types of retaining wall which are:
Concrete block
Stone Veneer
Poured Concrete
Brick
Wood
Boulders
Gabion
Timber
Natural Stone
Limestone

OBJECTIVES
The main objectives of this project are: •
Loading the complete image of location of retaining wall in UKM
•
Segmenting that image of the each retaining wall into the corresponding sections.
•
Create the database related to the retaining wall and each section.
•
Insert, Delete, and Update data of the database at ArcGIS Online.
•
Retrieve data from the database according to the queries and show the results to the users.

PROBLEM STATEMENT •
To locate and determine the location of retaining wall inside UKM region along the main route.
•
To identify the features or attributes of retaining walls such as lengths, widths, locations, coordination and type of materials.
•
To apply the knowledge on using the ArcGIS application by inserting all the obtained data of retaining walls in UKM.

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, there are 19 retaining walls built in UKM. The longest retaining wall lies in Faculty of Science & Technology (FST) new building area (near the hilly road to Pendeta Za’ba College) which is 98 meters long while the shortest retaining wall is located at the edge of the UKM field (near Danau UKM) which is 16 meters long.
Furthermore, the highest retaining wall is located in Faculty of Science & Technology (FST) new building area which is 5.95 meters height while the lowest retaining wall is located at the front of the UKM Mosque which is as high as 0.83 meters only.
Besides that, stone veneer and concrete block are the most common materials to create a retaining wall, respectively, in six different locations. While only 2 locations are using brick as a material making the retaining wall, both are located in Faculty of Law (FUU) area.
The geographical features of the hilly terrain in UKM cause the retaining wall to be constructed because the retaining walls able to reduce the amount of cut and fill processes. So, by building a retaining wall, we can reduce the cost of a project in addition to maintaining the structure of the land and ecosystems in the project area.
