These results of a model require a short representationof the Excel model called gravity model which has beendeveloped by the University of Ljubljana and afterrepresented <strong>in</strong>to WEB by this paper author.Model variables explanation:1-ID REG I- code for region of orig<strong>in</strong>;2-IDMUNI- code of municipalities of orig<strong>in</strong>;3-IDREGJ - code for region of dest<strong>in</strong>ation;4-ID_MUN_J- code of municipalities of dest<strong>in</strong>ation;5- d(t)2004 - time-spend<strong>in</strong>g distance <strong>in</strong> 2004;6- sprd(t) - decrease of time-spend<strong>in</strong>g distance 2004-2013;7- skr_p_cap - decrease of time-spend<strong>in</strong>g distance percapita (only for those who travel by car) ;8 - d(t)napoved - new time-spend<strong>in</strong>g distance for thosewho travel by car;9 - delezOV - percentage of commuters travel<strong>in</strong>g by car<strong>in</strong> 2002;Figure 2. Short gravity model data.10 - dm 2002 - commuters <strong>in</strong> 2002;11 - dmnapoved - new volume trip (number ofcommuters) consider<strong>in</strong>g decrease of time-spend<strong>in</strong>gdistance for those who travel by car;12 - % - percentage of difference <strong>in</strong> volume trip 2002 -2013;13 Stevilo - difference <strong>in</strong> volume trip 2002 - 2013PROBLEM SOLUTIONThe MySQL storage and PHP script<strong>in</strong>g languagewere used <strong>in</strong> produc<strong>in</strong>g the web page of the gravitymodel. MySQL and PHP is an open source projects ofthe Apache Software Foundation and, not surpris<strong>in</strong>gly, itis the most popular Apache HTTP server add-onmodule, with around 40% of the Apache HTTP servershav<strong>in</strong>g PHP capabilities (O'Reilly 2002). PHP isparticularly suited to web database applications becauseof its <strong>in</strong>tegration tools for the Web and databaseenvironments. In particular, the flexibility of embedd<strong>in</strong>gscripts <strong>in</strong> HTML pages permit easy <strong>in</strong>tegration with theclient tier. Both PHP and MySQL are easy to use, fast,free, and powerful.Web-based model applicationWEB based gravity model <strong>in</strong>itiative is anapplication of GIS software program that provides theuser with the tools needed to map, measure, andanalyze urban migrations. WEB based gravity modelapplication enables users to analyze how Slovenian<strong>in</strong>frastructure affects: time-spend<strong>in</strong>g distances;value of population migration; changes of populationmigration <strong>in</strong> way of <strong>in</strong>frastructures changes. With thehelp of WEB based gravity model, local people can get<strong>in</strong>volved with the way their communities grow anddevelop. This computer application helps the user build abetter, more susta<strong>in</strong>able community for the future. Italso allows people to work together to f<strong>in</strong>d constructivesolutions <strong>in</strong> the decision mak<strong>in</strong>g of the populationmigration <strong>in</strong> future.In WEB based gravity model user throughGraphical User Interface (GUI) (see Figure 3) can makehis choose:• The region of orig<strong>in</strong>;• Region of dest<strong>in</strong>ation.After that, model will show results with detailedmap of Slovenian municipalities. Here user through GUIcan make his choose:• Municipality of orig<strong>in</strong> (which belongs to chosen -region of orig<strong>in</strong>);• Municipality of dest<strong>in</strong>ation (which belong tochosen region of dest<strong>in</strong>ation).Annual <strong>Proceed<strong>in</strong>gs</strong> of Vidzeme University College “ICTE <strong>in</strong> Regional Development”, 200675
