SYSTEM ANALYSIS

3.1 HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

The hardware requirements for a tourism management system APK (Android

Application Package) would typically depend on the specific features and
functionalities of the application, as well as the scale of usage and expected user
base. However, I can provide a general guideline for the hardware requirements:
● Processor (CPU) A modern processor with at least a dual-core
configuration is recommended for smooth performance. Higher-end
processors like quad-core or octa-core can provide better performance,
especially for handling complex tasks and multitasking.
● Memory (RAM) requirement would be around 1GB for basic
functionality.For better performance, especially if the application involves
handling large amounts of data or running multiple processes
simultaneously, 2GB or more RAM is recommended.
● Storage requirement depends on the size of the application itself, as well as
any additional data that might be stored locally. Most tourism management
system APKs are not very large, so a device with at least 8GB of internal
storage should be sufficient.However, more storage is always beneficial,
especially if the user plans to store maps, images, or other media locally
within the application.
● Display size and resolution do not necessarily affect the performance of the
application but can impact the user experience. A device with a screen size
of 4.5 inches or larger, with a resolution of at least 720x1280 pixels (HD) is
recommended for comfortable usage.

13
These are general hardware requirements, and the actual requirements may vary
depending on the specific functionalities and performance optimizations
