Public Facility Usage Monitoring and Booking System: A Centralized Web-Based Platform for Conflict-Free Reservation and Utilization Reporting
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: This research paper presents a Public Facility Usage Monitoring and Booking System, a centralized web-based platform designed to simplify the reservation and monitoring of public facilities such as libraries, study rooms, community halls and sports grounds. The proposed system provides online booking facilities for residents, booking approval and check-in/check-out management for staff, and utilization reports for administrators. The research focuses on three major mechanisms: interval-overlap and capacity-based conflict prevention, a booking lifecycle for tracking planned and actual usage, and utilization metrics including utilization rate, no-show rate and planned-versus-actual usage gaps. The paper discusses the system requirements, three-tier architecture, database entities, booking algorithms, conflict-prevention rules and a proposed evaluation methodology involving functional, concurrency and usability testing. This work presents a system design and evaluation plan. Experimental pilot results and measured performance outcomes have not yet been established. AI assistance was used in manuscript preparation. The author is responsible for verifying the technical content, references and claims.
