 CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION

1.1 INTRODUCTION

T he increasing population of pet owners in Kurdistan and Iraq has created a

pressing need for a comprehensive and centralized system that can provide
proper information about pets and their care. Currently, there is a lack of
such a system, which leaves pet owners without a reliable resource to access accurate
and detailed information about their pets. This gap in the existing infrastructure
highlights the necessity of our research project, which aims to develop a web-based
pet care website that addresses these issues and contributes to the improvement of pet
care practices.

Through an extensive review of existing literature, it has been determined that the
current state of pet care services in Kurdistan and Iraq is inadequate. There is a
scarcity of platforms that offer comprehensive databases for pets and their owners,
resulting in difficulties in accessing relevant information. Furthermore, the lack of
guidance and resources for pet owners regarding the proper care and well-being of
their pets poses challenges for both owners and the animals themselves. Additionally,
the growing problem of stray animals further emphasizes the need for a system that
provides information about pet shelters and assists in the transportation and
management of these animals.

Given these circumstances, we have undertaken this study to develop a web-based pet
care website that will serve as a reliable and centralized platform for pet owners in
Kurdistan and Iraq. The primary objective of this project is to create a comprehensive
database that includes detailed information about pets and their owners. By doing so,
we aim to empower pet owners with accurate and accessible information, enabling
them to make informed decisions about the care, health, and well-being of their pets.
This research project will make a significant contribution to the field of pet care by
addressing the existing gaps in the current infrastructure. By developing a user-
friendly platform that provides comprehensive information about pets, offers guidance
on pet care practices, and includes a helping platform for missing or stolen animals,
our website will enhance the overall quality of pet care in Kurdistan and Iraq.
Additionally, the incorporation of information about pet shelter providing centers will
contribute to the management of stray animals, which is an ongoing and complex
issue in the region.

Therefore, the central research question that guides this project is: How can we
develop an effective web-based system that provides a comprehensive database for
pets and their owners, offers guidance on pet care practices, includes a helping
platform for missing or stolen animals, and incorporates information about pet shelter
providing centers in Kurdistan and Iraq? By addressing this research question, we aim
to bridge the existing gaps in the pet care infrastructure, improve the well-being of
pets, and support responsible pet ownership in the region.

The website caters to a broad audience and offers free accessibility. However, it is
important to note that users inherently possess varying levels of ability to access and
interact with the website's features and functionalities.
The categorization of users on our website:
I. Guests: users that come to the website and didn’t register themselves before
can only see the registered user’s pictures and the products available in the
website and the other sections in the website but they can not post pictures or
edit others posts.
II. Registered users: users who registered themselves have the same privileges
as the Guests with some addition, they can post and edit their posts afterwards
if their posts get approved by the admin, registered users can only manage
their own posts and they have a limit of 3 posts per section.
III. Admin: a user that has the ability to manage the stores, clinics, shelters,
products, and manage posts posted by others.

1.2 BACKGROUND

This website will be a valuable resource for pet owners, animal lovers, and
organizations involved in pet care, ultimately enhancing the well-being of pets and the
community as a whole. Our platform goes beyond basic information provision by
offering guidance on dealing with different types of pets and promoting self-care
practices among owners. We recognize that pet owners may require guidance on

2
grooming, nutrition, exercise, training, and overall pet welfare. Therefore, our website
will provide valuable resources and recommendations to help pet owners make
informed decisions and ensure the well-being of their pets.

Another crucial aspect of our website is the incorporation of a helping platform for
missing or stolen animals. This feature aims to assist pet owners during distressing
situations by providing a platform to report and track missing pets. By offering a
centralized and accessible resource, we increase the chances of reuniting lost pets
with their owners and alleviating the emotional burden experienced by pet owners in
such circumstances.

Furthermore, our website will include information about pet shelter providing centers.
This feature aims to address the growing problem of stray animals in Kurdistan and
Iraq. By providing details about these shelters and their services, we facilitate the
process of locating suitable shelters and contribute to the management and
transportation of stray animals.

rendered by web browsers.

2.2.2 CSS (CASCADING STYLE SHEETS)

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a stylesheet language used for describing the
presentation and visual appearance of a document written in HTML or XML. It was
introduced in the late 1990s as a way to separate the content and structure of a web
page from its presentation, providing greater flexibility and control over the design
aspects. The primary purpose of CSS is to define how HTML elements should be
displayed on a web page. It allows web developers to specify properties such as
colors, fonts, spacing, layout, and positioning of elements, enabling them to create
visually appealing and consistent designs across multiple web pages.

By using CSS, developers can apply styles to individual elements or groups of

elements, making it easy to maintain and update the design of a website. CSS also
supports the concept of cascading, where multiple styles can be applied to an element,
and the browser determines the final appearance based on the specificity and order of
the styles.

12
CSS has evolved over the years, with new features and capabilities added to enhance
its functionality. It has become an essential part of modern web development,
providing the means to create responsive and mobile-friendly designs, adapt layouts

2.3 SOFTWARE MODEL

The Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) or Application Development Life

Cycle is a term widely employed in the fields of systems engineering, information
systems, and software engineering. It encompasses a structured approach to the
planning, creation, testing, and deployment of an information system. The SDLC
concept is applicable to various configurations, encompassing hardware, software, or
a combination thereof.

Several models are available for guiding the development process, including the
Waterfall model, V model, Incremental model, RAD model, Agile model, Iterative
model, Spiral model, and Prototype model. In the context of building the website, the
Waterfall Model is utilized.

16
2.3.1 WATERFALL MODEL

The waterfall model is a well-known software development process that emphasizes a

sequential and logical progression of steps throughout the Software Development Life
Cycle (SDLC). This model draws an analogy to the cascading steps of an incremental
waterfall. While the popularity of the waterfall model has diminished in recent years,
with the rise of more agile methodologies, its inherent logical nature and sequential
approach continue to hold significance, making it a prevalent design process in the
industry.

This article aims to explore the key stages that constitute the core of the waterfall
model. It examines the optimal situations for implementing this model and discusses
scenarios where alternative design philosophies may be preferred over the waterfall
approach.

The contributions of Dr. Winston W. Royce are acknowledged in the development

and formulation of the waterfall model, which has provided a structured and
systematic framework for software development projects.

Below is the diagram of the Waterfall Model:

Figure 1-2: Waterfall Model Diagram

17

CONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORK

5.1 CONCLUSION

T his final year project aimed to address the lack of a comprehensive system for
providing information about pets and their owners in Kurdistan and Iraq,
where the population of pet owners is rapidly increasing. The main findings of
this study highlight the significance and benefits of implementing a web-based system
to serve as a centralized database for pets and their owners. By developing this
system, we have successfully achieved the objectives set forth in this study.

In summary, this project has successfully developed a web-based system that fulfills
the objectives of providing comprehensive pet information, promoting responsible pet
ownership, assisting in cases of missing animals, and addressing the growing issue of
stray animals. The implementation of this system has the potential to improve the
overall welfare of pets, strengthen the bond between owners and their companions,
and contribute to the development of a more compassionate and informed society in
Kurdistan and Iraq.

5.2 FUTURE WORK

Based on the objectives of the study, several future works can be proposed to further
enhance the web-based project and address the needs of the target users. These future
works include:

1. Designing a Mobile Application:

consider developing a dedicated mobile application alongside the web-based platform.
The application should provide a user-friendly interface, enabling users to access the
system's features easily on their mobile devices.

2. Expanding Language Options:

In order to reach a broader audience, it is important to incorporate additional
languages into the system. By adding languages other than Kurdish, the project can
extend its usability to non-Kurdish speakers, making it more inclusive and accessible.

51
3. Adding More Pet Services:
To meet the evolving needs of pet owners, the project should consider expanding its
range of services. This can include incorporating pet grooming services, veterinary
care information, pet training resources, and other related services that can help users
take better care of their pets.

4. Enhancing Current Services, Design, and Features:

Continuous improvement of the existing services, design, and features is crucial for
user satisfaction and engagement. Conducting user feedback surveys, analyzing user
behavior, and actively implementing updates and improvements based on the findings
will contribute to the ongoing development and success of the project.

5. Establishing Partnerships with Pet Stores and Clinics:

To generate revenue and offer additional benefits to users, the project can form
partnerships with pet stores and clinics. This can involve featuring their products or
services on the platform and receiving a commission for each successful transaction
facilitated through the system.

6. Securing a Significant Sponsor:

To attract more users and raise awareness about the platform, securing a major
sponsor can be beneficial. A sponsor with shared values and a similar target audience
can help promote the platform, highlight its features, goals, and ambitions, and
provide financial support for further development and marketing efforts.

7. Educating Users with Limited Experience:

To ensure that users with limited experience in using mobile applications or websites
can benefit from the platform, it is important to provide user tutorials, guides, and
support. Conducting workshops or training sessions can help users understand the
features and functionalities of the platform, making it more user-friendly and
accessible.

In conclusion, the proposed future works for the web-based project aim to enhance its
functionality, usability, and reach. By designing a mobile application, expanding
language options, adding more pet services, improving current features, establishing
partnerships, and educating users, the project can effectively address the needs of pet
owners in Kurdistan and Iraq, promote responsible pet ownership, and contribute to
the welfare of animals in the region.
