PROBLEM STATEMENT
Before the introduction of the Safari Zoo Management System, purchasing tickets for the
zoo was an arduous and time-consuming process, characterized by long queues and
limited accessibility. Visitors often faced the following challenges:
Inconvenient Queues: Visitors had to endure long queues at the zoo's ticket counters,
resulting in extended waiting times and frustration.
Limited Ticketing Options: The absence of an online ticketing system meant that visitors
had only one way to obtain tickets, making it difficult for those unable to visit the zoo in
person.
Lack of Information: Visitors had limited access to real-time information about zoo
timings and exhibits, making it challenging to plan their visits effectively.
Manual Ticket Issuance: Ticket issuance was a manual process, prone to errors and
inefficiencies, often leading to incorrect ticket information.
Visitor Discomfort: The lengthy ticketing process often resulted in visitor discomfort,
impacting their overall zoo experience and discouraging repeat visits.

INTRODUCTION
The Safari Zoo Management System is a pioneering web application designed to elevate
the wildlife experience for both visitors and administrators. Developed by Mahesh Vala,
this project presents a user-centric platform that reimagines how individuals interact with
zoo environments.
At its core, the Safari Zoo Management System is a comprehensive web application that
seamlessly integrates various technologies, including HTML, CSS, jQuery for frontend
development, and PHP for robust backend functionality. To ensure an intuitive and
responsive design, Bootstrap is employed for creating a user-friendly interface.
This project is tailored to meet the needs of zoo administrators and visitors alike. It
facilitates effortless user registration and login, enabling visitors to access crucial
information such as precise zoo timings, interactive maps, and a comprehensive animal
database. Additionally, guests can conveniently book tickets online, eliminating the need
for cumbersome on-site processes.
On the administrative front, the system empowers zoo managers with efficient tools for
animal management. Zoo administrators can effortlessly update and modify animal
information, ensuring that visitors receive accurate and up-to-date details about the
wildlife exhibits. Moreover, the system generates insightful reports, categorizing visitors
by age groups (children, adults, and seniors) and tracking total revenue. This data-driven
approach enhances decision-making and contributes to a more efficient and visitor-centric
zoo management.
The Safari Zoo Management System represents a significant step forward in redefining
the visitor experience while simplifying the operational complexities of zoo management.
With a user-friendly interface, responsive design, and comprehensive features, this project
strives to foster a deeper connection between people and wildlife, making it an exciting
journey into the wild.

MODEL USED
The Waterfall Model is a well-suited choice for software development projects under
specific circumstances. Firstly, it shines when project requirements are meticulously
defined and remain relatively stable throughout development. This methodology thrives
on the concept of having a clear project scope and objectives from the outset, enabling a
systematic and structured approach to project execution. Secondly, the Waterfall Model is
favored when clients prefer minimal involvement during the development process and are
comfortable with a review of the final product at project completion. It caters to situations
where clients place trust in the initial requirements and the development team's capability
to deliver a product that aligns closely with these specifications.

MODEL USED
Analysis Phase
Requirement Gathering: This phase begins with gathering and documenting all the
requirements for the system, including user needs, features, and functionality. It involves
discussions with stakeholders to understand their expectations.
Feasibility Study: A feasibility study is conducted to assess the practicality and viability of
the project, considering factors like technical feasibility, financial feasibility, and
operational feasibility.
System Design: During this phase, high-level system architecture and data structures are
outlined. This includes defining the database structure, user interfaces, and the overall
system flow.
Use Case Diagrams: Use case diagrams are created to visualize how different actors
(users and administrators) interact with the system and what actions they can perform.
Design Phase
User Interface Design: Detailed user interface (UI) designs are created, considering user
experience (UX) principles. Mockups and prototypes are often developed to visualize the
final look and feel of the system.
Database Design: The database schema is designed, specifying tables, fields,
relationships, and data constraints. It ensures efficient data storage and retrieval.
System Architecture: Detailed technical architecture is developed, including the selection
of technologies, frameworks, and platforms for both frontend and backend development.
12
MODEL USED
Development Phase
Frontend Development: Development of the user interface using technologies like
HTML, CSS, and JavaScript/jQuery. It includes creating web pages for user registration,
login, interactive maps, and animal displays.
Backend Development: Building the backend logic using PHP for server-side processing.
This includes user authentication, animal management, ticket booking, and email
confirmation functionality.
Database Implementation: The database design is implemented using MySQL to store
user data, animal information, and transaction records.
