DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF APARTMENT MANAGEMENT


SYSTEM
CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1.0    GENERAL INTRODUCTION

It is safe to say that most activities such as apartment allocation carried out in most
cities in Nigeria are done manually. Therefore, there is a lot of strain on the
individuals running the apartment. An Apartment Management system is simply
software developed for managing most activities that take place in the apartment with
the help of apartment administrator.

The goal of this research work is to provide a solution to the problem of apartment
management, by designing a computerized system which is user-friendly and GUI-
oriented that will be compatible with the existing manual systems. The software to be
developed will solve the problem of apartment management; thus helping to reduce
problems associated with the manual apartment management system. The project uses
Spring Light apartment as Case Study.

1.2.0    INTRODUCTION

This chapter introduces the study and provides relevant information on the
background of the study. It begins with problem definition (statement of the problem)
which describes the major problems associated with manual apartment management.
This is followed by the research objective putting in a nutshell what is to be achieved
by the study. Subsequently, the Research Justification is presented, which justifies the
essence of the research. The Research Methodology describes the procedures used in
conducting the research. Scope and Limitation discusses the area the research is
limited to and also highlights the constraints encountered during the course of this
work. Finally, there is definition of terms and chapter layout which defines peculiar
terms related to the study alone and summarizes the entire chapters respectively.

1.3.0    PROBLEM DEFINITION

Problems associated with hostel records when manually handled by theLandlord in


spring Light apartment include:

 Records are manually written and stored in various registers.


 Lots of human errors are encountered when records are hand-written.
 The use of numerous registers for hostel allocation can be very cumbersome,
hence tracing records become tedious.
 Difficulty in maintaining or updating the records, hence, retrieval of a certain
dataset from a bunch of registers is almost impossible.
 Loss or damage of any of the registers leads to damage of lots of important
files at a time.
 Lack of data security.

1.4.0    OBJECTIVE OF STUDY

The objective of this study is to develop an application that will ease the stress
associated with the existing manual system as earlier stated, while focusing on the
Spring Light apartment.

This study aims to achieve the following;

1. To create a database management system (DBMS) this allocates storage to


student data and also provides security for the stored data.
2. To provide quick and efficient means for gathering the student information
along with their rooms, fees, etc.
3. To find out the possible benefits that will be obtained from the new system.
4. At the completion of this work, this system will improve the management of
student hostels in the spring light apartment.

1.5.0    RESEARCH JUSTIFICATION

The proposed research can be justified by providing answers to the questions below:

1. Does the research extend the understanding of the phenomenon being


investigated?
2. Does it elaborate, extend or fill in gaps in present knowledge?
3. Finally, will it give the expected results result?

After putting these aforementioned questions into consideration, I believe that this
research is worth doing. Using Spring light as the existing system to be investigated,
in which the mode of operation is done manually, a certain level of bias will be
experienced. The new system to be developed is to manage the allocation process.

1.6.0    RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

In order to realize the objectives of this research, it is important to apply the


appropriate strategy in achieving the set goals. The methodology employed in the
course of this study is to first outline the set of requirements to be met by the proposed
system, where information related to the research work will be derived from the area
of study (Spring Light apartment and tenant Affairs); then envisage and implement the
design of the system, using HTML and PHP for the design and MySQL for building
the database.

1.7.0    SCOPE AND LIMITATION OF STUDY

In terms of geographical coverage, spring light apartment, was studied.

This study suggests means of gathering information about the tenants and ways of
easily managing the apartment details, room details, records, easy way of room
allocation and room attendance. Subsequently, software will be written in the
implementation phase which will enable the program to run.
In addition to this, a number of things occurred which slowed down the process in the
research work. They include:

1. Time constraint for proper analysis, design and implementation of the


Apartment Management system.
2. Poor internet facilities and inaccessible websites.
3. Limited access to administrative information.

1.8.0    DEFINITION OF TERMS

Database Management System (DBMS): is software that enables you store, modify,
and extract information on a database.

Apartment Management System: is a computerized system for managing various


activities in the apartment.

MySQL:MYSQL is a relational database management system written in C and C++


that runs as a server providing multi user access to a number of databases.

PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor is a scripting language originally designed for


producing dynamic web pages.

Unified Modeling Language (UML): It is used to specify, visualize, modify,


construct, and document the artifacts of an object-oriented software-intensive system
under development.

1.9.0    CHAPTER LAYOUT

This study is presented in five chapters.

Chapter One: deals with the introduction, which provides preamble or background to


the study. It also introduces the study and provides relevant information on the
background to the study, problem definition, objectives of study, justification and
methodology of the research, definition of terms and chapter layout.
Chapter two: is a review of literature relevant to the research topic; introduction to
the chapter, overview of an apartment and brief history of apartment management will
be discussed. Also to be discussed are the type of apartment found in the cities and
rural and a quick look on several literature on this work before ending with my
proposed contribution.

Chapter three: presents system methodology which analyzes the current system,


indicating the shortcomings and finding possible solutions by designing and
developing a new system. System requirements and specifications are also discussed.

Chapter four: focuses on system implementation which aims at ensuring that the


system works accurately and efficiently and also tested for possible errors before
making it available to the users.

Chapter five: provides a summary of the findings, drawing conclusions based on the


findings as well as the relevant recommendations
