Abstract:

Landslides are common geologic hazard occurring in all parts of the world predominantly in the rainy season. In recent years, landslide risk mapping has played an important role in developing land-use planning and it helps to minimize the loss of lives and damages to property. A variety of approaches have been used in landslide hazard and risk assessment and these can be classified into heuristic approach, statistical approach, deterministic approach, etc. An abrupt development of computers after 1990, geographic information systems (GIS) became essential tools for landslide hazard assessment. However, validation and replication is always difficult and there are little works on the satisfactory validation of various approaches. This paper deals with several aspects of landslide hazard and risk assessment by presenting a focalized review of GIS-based landslide hazard and risk assessment with a critical information of the state of the art in using GIS and digital elevation model (DEM) derivative for landslide hazard and risk assessment. This paper also describes some statistical and deterministic approaches and suggests detail step-by-step methodologies. It also describes in brief about integration of various database software and GIS.

Abstract:

As essential apparatus in crime analysis, crime mapping and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are being progressively more accepted by police agencies. Development in technology and the accessibility of geographic data sources make it feasible for police departments to use GIS and crime mapping. GIS and crime mapping can be utilized as devices to discover reasons contributing to crime, and hence let law enforcement agencies proactively take action against the crime problems before they become challenging. The purpose of this study is to conduct a literature review of Geographical Information System and Crime Mapping in Crime Analysis and to propose policy recommendations regarding to implementation of crime mapping and GIS. To achieve this purpose, first a historical evaluation of GIS and crime mapping will be rendered and then the importance of place will be explained in terms of assessing crime problems accurately.

Abstract:

There has been a recent flurry of interest in dasymetric population mapping. However, the ancillary coverages that underlie current dasymetric methods are unconnected to cultural context. The resulting regions may indicate density patterns, but not necessarily the boundaries known to inhabitants. Dasymetric population mapping is capable of capturing the cultural commonality and community interaction that define social spaces. Dasymetric mapping may be improved with methodologies that reflect the ways in which social spaces are established. This research applies a historical GIS methodology for identifying early 20th Century agricultural neighborhoods in southern Appalachia. The case study is intended to encourage discovery of additional methods for mapping population on the scale of lived experience.

Abstract:

Abstract The basic database for a geographic information system (BD GIS) forms the core of a national spatial data infrastructure. Nowadays decisions are being made about the potential data sources for additional data updates and refinement of the BD GIS. Will the data from departmental or other information system administrators serve for this purpose? This paper gives an answer as to whether it is advisable to use “geodetic mapping” (the results realized in the process of land consolidation) or “cadastral mapping” (the results realized in the process of the renewal of cadastral documentation by new mapping) for additional data updates. In our analysis we focus on the quality parameters at the individual data element level, namely the positional accuracy, attribute accuracy, logical consistency, and data resolution. The results of the analysis are compared with the contents of the Object Class Catalog of BD GIS (OCC), which describes the group of objects managed by BD GIS and defines the data collection methods, types of geometry and its properties.

Abstract:

Natural gas is considered an important source of energy in the world. By increasing growth of urbanization, urban gas pipelines which transmit natural gas from transmission pipelines to consumers, will become a dense network. The increase in the density of urban pipelines will influence probability of occurring bad accidents in urban areas. These accidents have a catastrophic effect on people and their property. Within the next few years, risk mapping will become an important component in urban planning and management of large cities in order to decrease the probability of accident and to control them. Therefore, it is important to assess risk values and determine their location on urban map using an appropriate method. In the history of risk analysis of urban natural gas pipeline networks, the pipelines has always been considered one by one and their density in urban area has not been considered. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of several pipelines on the risk value of a specific grid point. This paper outlines a quantitative risk assessment method for analysing the risk of urban natural gas pipeline networks. It consists of two main parts: failure rate calculation where the EGIG historical data are used and fatal length calculation that involves calculation of gas release and fatality rate of consequences. We consider jet fire, fireball and explosion for investigating the consequences of gas pipeline failure. The outcome of this method is an individual risk and is shown as a risk map.

Abstract:

I will show how yield mapping data, aerial photography data, and other agronomic data (fertility, soil parameters) can be integrated into a Geographical Information System (GIS) and give a “feel” of the value of these tools to look at crop production as a whole. The capability of GIS in handling and displaying several layers of georeferenced data leads naturally to a decisionmaking process quite similar to the one used in traditional photo interpretation of aerial imagery. This approach can be very valuable for farm managers and consultants in crop production.

Abstract:

With increased regulatory focus on eroded sediment and its bound pollutants, methods are needed to predict areas with high erosive potential (EP) in urbanized areas. Using EP to prioritize urban areas for maintenance, implementation of Stormwater Control Measures (SCMs), stream restoration or monitoring is crucial. This study utilizes commonly available geospatial layers in conjunction with a computational procedure for prioritizing the contribution of site specific- and transport-erosion to compute relative EP risk throughout a target urban watershed.  Factors that contribute to erosion were evaluated: local cell slope, soil erodibility, land cover, runoff volume, distance and slope to nearest stormwater conveyance point along a surface flow travel path. A case study of the developed methodology was performed on a 1.6 square kilometer urban watershed in Blacksburg, VA, to generate EP risk maps. Results of the study indicate areas of erosive potential within the target watershed and provide a methodology for creating erosion potential risk maps for use by MS4 planners, engineers and other individuals that manage erosion control programs.

Abstract:

The main goal of this paper is to present a methodology for land evaluation by supporting decision-makers with reliable information for the land-use planning process. One of the focuses of this paper is given to the survey process and interpretation between soil survey, soil survey interpretation, and physical land evaluation. Such processes are realized using mobile mapping tools with integrated Global Position Systems (GPS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Both have increased the efficiency of data communication technologies by enabling real-time communication between people located in the field and office as well. For the soil classification as a key component of soil surveys is used World Reference Base (WRB) for Soil Resources. This is a common tool to summarize the wealth of information from soil profiles for the purpose of land evaluation. The final results showed a soil classification map. Such results are derived from many activities, since it includes a preliminary land evaluation, field soil survey with auger holes and profiles as well. This methodology is used for the first time in the selected study area.

Abstract:

Permafrost maps have developed over the last century from small line drawings showing the outer limits of the areas within which perennially frozen ground was known or supposed to exist, to large scale, multi-sheet, multi-faceted, complex earth-science documents. These show, in considerable detail, the estimated distribution of frozen ground, in terms of its spatial continuity, thickness, ground temperature and ground ice content. Other related geo-environmental information is commonly included along with the permafrost attributes. The key geocryological issues in permafrost mapping comprise definition, purpose, classification, data acquisition, and data storage and processing. The principal cartographic issues relate to map design, legend development and map production. The recent development of geographic information software (GIS) suitable for use on a desk-top computer allows the geocryologist to undertake many map compilation and production tasks directly. GIS software also allows the map compiler or map user to manipulate the data, layer by layer, and so create specialized maps for specific purposes. Computer storage and processing of permafrost data allows large volumes of data to be handled and, when combined with modelling techniques, allows these large volumes of data to be used in the compilation of maps. Integration of modelling techniques with GIS is a powerful tool for assessing the response of permafrost to a changing climate. Other research directions are noted.

Abstract:

At present domestic GIS training mode and curriculum system differences, mostly dependent on the original maternal professional (such as mapping, geography, and computer), the training mode and market demand for GIS staff have difference. In the aspect of training GIS talents, there still exist many problems, but the most concern is the selection of computer and mapping class curriculum system. Open GIS universities are limited by their limited resources, in the curriculum system, is not completely according to the professional direction, talent needs reasonable selection of computer and mapping class curriculum, but according to the existing teaching resources (existing professional and research directions such as experimental facilities, teachers and the current staffing and so on) to the curriculum configuration this often leads to the final result, to set the course according to the teachers' training mode; this will cause the extremely serious consequence, free to piece together the course system is not possible to develop Beibu Bay area market demand for talents. The basis and origin of the mapping and computer class talked about, to explore the training mode is suitable for the characteristic of Beibu Bay area GIS talents, curriculum system construction to improve GIS adaptation training mode, strive for reasonable selection of Surveying and mapping and computer courses.

Abstract:

AbstractA geographical information system (GIS) perspective is taken to examine conceptual and methodological complications present in tornado density and probability mapping. Tornado density is defined as the inverse-distance-weighted count of tornado touchdown points or tornado-affected cells within a neighborhood area. The paper first adds a few geographic elements into the tornado definition and then characterizes tornado density as a density field in GIS that depends on predefined, modifiable areas to exist. Tornado density is therefore conceptually distinguished from both individual tornadoes and tornado probability. Three factors are identified to be vital in tornado density mapping: the neighborhood size, the distance decay function, and the choice of tornado properties. Correspondingly, 12 neighborhood sizes ranging from 20 to 360 km are tested, four distance decay functions are compared, and two tornado properties—tornado touchdown locations and pathlengths—are separately incorporated in mapping. GIS interpretations, clarifications, and demonstrations are provided for these factors to reach a thorough understanding of how the factors function and affect the resultant tornado density maps. Historical tornado data of the eastern half of the United States from 1973 to 2013 are used in these demonstrations. Uncertainty and propagation analyses are recommended for future tornado density and probability mapping, and a Monte Carlo simulation using tornado pathlength data is conducted as an example of uncertainty modeling. In all, tornado density mapping is diagnosed as a largely subjective activity, and the mapper needs to make multiple choices according to the mapping purpose, scale, and the involved tornado record data.

Abstract:

In most recent years, crime analysis has turned into a broad- spectrum term that needs a considerable measure of research on crime investigation and crime mapping. Study about crime with respect to its spatial and temporal distribution is important because data about crime incident is one of the most urgent need to fight against crime. Crime mapping and analysis plays an integral role in essentially advanced form of crime representation, visualization and respond satisfactorily to the problem of criminality. It also let the analysts to figure out how crimes are spread evenly over the zone. GIS plays an effective role in mapping of crime. This paper puts on the diverse utilities of GIS to recognize the hotspots in addition to encourage the advancement of investigation inclination strategy for policing. The functional approach in the present investigation for crime mapping can be successfully applied for improvement of user-interfaces stage for the advancement of safe city strategies.

Abstract:

Abstract GIS protocols were developed to map ecological landtypes (ELTs) containing dry slopes, mesic slopes, dry ridges, mesic ridges, and bottomlands for the Hoosier National Forest, Indiana, United States. The mapping techniques included separating hills from valleys, dividing hills into north- and south-facing slopes, differentiating narrow from wide ridges, and noise removal with raster and vector methods. This article examined ELT mapping with both 30- and 10-m resolution data. This article also compared different GIS operations involved in ELT mapping. The accuracy of the ELT map created was assessed on the ground, and accuracy could reach 100% if boundary-location and small-area errors were excluded. The GIS protocols involved in this study were effective and have broad implications for mapping ELTs in other geographic areas. For larger areas, more automated GIS procedures will be necessary.

The service learning experience, highlighted by a final mapping project and community presentation, resulted in 3,000 student-designed maps being distributed to community residents, a website of downloadable student maps, multiple student speaking engagements, and a sustained community-university collaboration. The course demonstrates the importance of applied geography in local communities and highlights the benefits of community-university partnerships for addressing social change. Such an applied geography experience offers an important twist on the conventional, introductory cartography course where students engage in pre-packaged lectures and labs, and are then asked to complete a final mapping project. Unlike the conventional approach, this service learning class experience allows students to use their creativity to demonstrate knowledge learned in the course and allows students to apply and present their geographic knowledge in a real-world setting to community members.

Abstract:

Oil and natural gas are very important. As reservoir geological phenomena have characteristics of complexity and nonlinearity, this paper presented a new approach of case-based reasoning with GIS to oil-gas reservoir comprehensive mapping, to which the characteristics of geological phenomena and the spatial relations among them are much considered, the reasoning is based on the attribute similarity reasoning and the spatial similarity reasoning. Experiments to the east region adjacent to Sulige gas field in north China were carried out. The results show that this approach is effective and much efficient, and it may have certain universality to similar problems or phenomena.

Abstract:

Nowadays we can clearly see the activeness of the methodological and technological aspects of the new geoinformation direction in the field of cartography. The development of modern mapping methods is closely related to the development of geoinformation systems and technologies. The importance of geoinformation cartography and geoinformation systems is significant in creating databases and digital maps based on GIS software instead of analog methods for creating maps. There are the most important tasks such as improvement of modern method in obtaining cartographic information, and development of ways to quickly transmit and distribute cartographic information about nature and society. The application of GIS technologies in the field of demographic cartography will lead to drastic changes in the scope of work, as well as improve product design and increase the accuracy as a result of the performed tasks. The study shows that there is a need to develop a new method for mapping a new generation based on GIS technology, reflecting demographic processes. This article will focus on creating a database for development of maps based on GIS technologies, rapid identification, monitoring spatial changes using data from aerospace and other sources, and development of demographic digital mapping methods based on GIS technologies. Mapping demographic processes based on GIS technologies aims at implementing a number of practical tasks and research related to population. Based on this, a systematic method has been developed to analyse the demographic situation in the southern region of the Republic of Uzbekistan, and a digital demographic map has been created by applying the developed method.

Abstract:

The past 20 years have witnessed an explosive growth in the demand for geo-spatial data. This demand has numerous sources and takes many forms; however, the net effect is an ever-increasing thirst for data that is more accurate, has higher density, is produced more rapidly, and is acquired less expensively. For mapping and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) projects, this has been achieved through the major development of Mobile Mapping Systems (MMS). MMS integrate various navigation and remote sensing technologies which allow mapping from moving platforms (e.g. cars, airplanes, boats, etc.) to obtain the 3D coordinates of the points of interest. Such systems obtain accuracies that are suitable for all but the most demanding mapping and engineering applications. However, this accuracy doesn't come cheaply. As a consequence of the platform and navigation and mapping technologies used, even an "inexpensive" system costs well over 200 000 USD. Today's mobile phones are getting ever more sophisticated. Phone makers are determined to reduce the gap between computers and mobile phones. Smartphones, in addition to becoming status symbols, are increasingly being equipped with extended Global Positioning System (GPS) capabilities, Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) inertial sensors, extremely powerful computing power and very high resolution cameras. Using all of these components, smartphones have the potential to replace the traditional land MMS and portable GPS/GIS equipment. This paper introduces an innovative application of smartphones as a very low cost portable MMS for mapping and GIS applications.

Abstract:

Lahore the historic city is expanding day by day. The urban expansion affected the heritage boundaries, results into shrinking and deteriorating the precious structures. The study aims to map the historic sites by looking into it the impacts of urban development through boundary delineation process. The pictorial journey elaborates how the precious heritage are being packed into haphazard containers of irregular boundaries, which vanished the beautiful impacts of Mughal gardens around the historic structures helplessly standing there to feel pity in them. In order to improve the effectiveness of preservation strategies the role of new digital technologies such as GIS has played their vital role in the building conservation strategies. This paper presents the results of a research developed as part of the research project conducted by the researcher in college of Art and Design, School of Architecture, University of the Punjab, Lahore, Pakistan. The aims of the study were to explore the implementation of GIS as a conservational specialist in the field of conservational management, to deal the various aspects facing while managing the Mughal sites widely spreading the study area in the 3-D environment and using the GIS analytical tools to determine the urban development impacts on historic buildings. This study fills the gap between the CAD and three dimensional environment and integrating GIS from scanned images of heritage sites or photogrammetric data to the library of parametric architectural objects of the historic buildings and represent in the form of overlay layers. A framework of modeling, 3D geometry, topology, semantic, appearance properties, efficient management and analysis of the relevant data to the heritage sites are used in the research.

Abstract:

In the last eight years the structure of Topographical Database of green areas has been implemented and consolidated: originally born to manage green areas in Milan, it is now used in other cities. Beside the optimizations achieved in data management (i.e. relationship between data and working process, updating procedures, exhaustive Index of Items) it is now becoming important an optimization in data acquisition: this is the reason why a test was started involving the use of LiDAR technology for surveying those green areas classified as equipped parks (over 50.000 sqmt), as an alternative to the traditional topographycal survey. LiDAR technology is commonly applied to forestry surveying and green mass computation, even in urban contexts, achieving good results also in automation of data processing. Nevertheless this testing activity has a specific aim, that is to derive (also using the contextual orthophoto) as many layers as possible among the ones described by the Specifications on Green areas TDb, preserving the high level of thematical detail and accuracy suggested by the Specifications. To do this, using the application Laserweb© for visualization and interaction with the point cloud, new and specific functions and layouts have been designed and implemented. For each item of the index has been made an effort to encode the optimal strategy for exploring the cloud and exporting the datum. The variety of the elements included in the Specification Index of Items is very differentiated, therefore also the procedures in point cloud analysis are various, as the main purpose of this work is to exploit all the potential information contained in a point cloud.
