Resumen
Geocoding – the process of finding position based on descriptive data such as address or postal code - is considered as one of the most commonly used spatial analyses. Many online map providers such as Google Maps, Bing Maps and Yahoo Maps present geocoding as one of their basic capabilities. Despite the diversity of geocoding services, users usually face some limitations when they use available online geocoding services. In existing geocoding services, proximity and nearness concept is not modelled appropriately as well as these services search address only by address matching based on descriptive data. In addition there are also some limitations in display searching results. Resolving these limitations can enhance efficiency of the existing geocoding services. This paper proposes the idea of integrating fuzzy technique with geocoding process to resolve these limitations. In order to implement the proposed method, a web-based system is designed. In proposed method, nearness to places is defined by fuzzy membership functions and multiple fuzzy distance maps are created. Then these fuzzy distance maps are integrated using fuzzy overlay technique for obtain the results. Proposed methods provides different capabilities for users such as ability to search multi-part addresses, searching places based on their location, non-point representation of results as well as displaying search results based on their priority.

Resumen
<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Since the end of the 20th century, the widespread availability of information and communications technology (ICT) has led to an increased use of web-based maps that have supposedly changed the use of geospatial information. Although previous studies focused on the conceptual or technical aspects of web maps, few studies have conducted an empirical analysis of the diversity of map usage. In particular, intergenerational differences in the use of digital maps have apparently expanded owing to the generation gap in the skills needed to use ICT devices. In this study, I examined variations in map usage by paying attention to the characteristics of the millennial generation.</p><p> An online survey of 624 people who signed up for participation was conducted with a research company in 2018. They were sampled equally by gender and age group and were from the Tokyo metropolitan area. A questionnaire was designed to gather data about their current state of map use, their usage of ICT devices, their degree of geospatial awareness, and demographic attributes. The difference in map usage patterns between generational groups was examined using statistical methods.</p><p> Analysis of the data revealed that most people use web maps while conventional paper maps are still widely used by the middle-aged and the elderly. In particular, intergenerational differences in map usage were observed: younger people prefer using web maps with mobile devices for checking locations but older people are still using conventional paper maps.</p><p> Among the web maps available, Google Maps was used by the majority of respondents, especially by the younger age group. The next most frequently used was Yahoo! Maps, which was mainly used by the middle-aged and older people while Apple Maps was also preferred by younger people. More than 80% of web map users browse the map with a smartphone; however, middle-aged and older groups tended to use maps with PCs. An analysis of conventional map use revealed many people use tourist maps, maps on signboards, and in-car navigation systems. However, some intergenerational differences were observed. Young people use fewer road maps and in-car navigation systems while elderly people use more housing maps and topographic maps.</p><p> An analysis of the relationship between map use and geospatial literacy revealed that younger respondents preferred digital maps to paper maps and tended not to ask someone else for directions but relied on ICT tools to find their way. Since some studies have pointed out that the accustomed use of navigation tools may have negative effects on people’s geospatial awareness, young people’s dependence on web maps may reduce their concern with maps and geography, which is characteristic of the millennial generation.</p></p>

Resumen
Web mapping sites are interactive maps that are accessed via Webpages. With the rapid development of Internet and Geographic Information System (GIS) field, public web mapping sites are not foreign to people. Nowadays, people use these web mapping sites for various reasons, in that increasing maps and related map services of web mapping sites are freely available for end users. Thus, increased users of web mapping sites led to more usability studies. Usability Engineering (UE), for instance, is an approach for analyzing and improving the usability of websites through examining and evaluating an interface. In this research, UE method was employed to explore usability problems of four public web mapping sites, analyze the problems quantitatively and provide guidelines for future design based on the test results. <br><br> Firstly, the development progress for usability studies were described, and simultaneously several usability evaluation methods such as Usability Engineering (UE), User-Centered Design (UCD) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) were generally introduced. Then the method and procedure of experiments for the usability test were presented in detail. In this usability evaluation experiment, four public web mapping sites (Google Maps, Bing maps, Mapquest, Yahoo Maps) were chosen as the testing websites. And 42 people, who having different GIS skills (test users or experts), gender (male or female), age and nationality, participated in this test to complete the several test tasks in different teams. The test comprised three parts: a pretest background information questionnaire, several test tasks for quantitative statistics and progress analysis, and a posttest questionnaire. The pretest and posttest questionnaires focused on gaining the verbal explanation of their actions qualitatively. And the design for test tasks targeted at gathering quantitative data for the errors and problems of the websites. Then, the results mainly from the test part were analyzed. The success rate from different public web mapping sites was calculated and compared, and displayed by the means of diagram. And the answers from questionnaires were also classified and organized in this part. Moreover, based on the analysis, this paper expands the discussion about the layout, map visualization, map tools, search logic and etc. Finally, this paper closed with some valuable guidelines and suggestions for the design of public web mapping sites. Also, limitations for this research stated in the end.

Resumen
Para la georreferenciación de un gran número de direcciones, es necesaria la previa geocodificación mediante sistemas de carácter público o privado. La geocodificación no es una ciencia exacta porque las direcciones generalmente son escritas y almacenadas por personas, lo que provoca diferentes problemas de precisión en el registro, como errores ortográficos, datos innecesarios o falta de datos mínimos. Para enfrentar este problema, en este artículo se describe una metodología que limpia y corrige las direcciones optimizando el proceso de geocodificación utilizando los sistemas existentes. Para su desarrollo se utiliza el proceso Knowledge Discovery in Text (KDT). La metodología se aplica a una base de datos de direcciones de hechos delictivos proporcionada por la unidad de análisis penal de la Fiscalía Regional del Biobío, Chile. Los resultados muestran un aumento en el número de geocodificaciones de los sistemas implementados, que varía según el sistema utilizado.

Resumen
Halal tourism in Indonesia has good economic prospects as part of the national tourism industry. The tourism industry aims not only to provide material and psychological aspects for tourists themselves but also to contribute to increase government revenue. Halal Tourism Mapping System is basically a form of mapping using Google's advanced features and maps as an effort to collect data mapping of halal destination data in order to become a media and promotion for halal tourism search with the label "The Light Of Aceh". This effort is a form of the initial step as a regional promotion, especially halal attractions so that they are indexed by giant search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and Bing. Government and community expectations of visitors from both local and international came to be a problem in terms of technology because they do not understand it and understand the ease of mapping features of an area. It is hoped that the Halal Tourism mapping system with the label "The Light of Aceh" can realize the dream of the community and the government to increase visitors from outside the region and abroad. Predictions of the results obtained from the results of this study are to help tourists and visitors in obtaining information on halal attractions in Banda Aceh, as well as helping the Government and the public in encouraging increased foreign tourist arrivals.Keywords: Models, Mapping, Halal Tourism, Aceh.

Resumen
Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o desempenho de cultivares de brócolis tipo inflorescência única produzidas em condições de altas temperaturas, de junho a setembro de 2012, em Cáceres-MT. O estudo foi conduzido utilizando-se delineamento em blocos casualizados, composto por quatro repetições e quinze cultivares de brócolis (Shiguemori, Lord Summer, Marathon, Imperial, Avenger, Salinas, Brócolis de Cabeça, Bozano, Legacy, BRO 68, Bibou, Yahto, Calabrês de Cabeça, Romanesco e Green Storm Bonanza). A temperatura do ar mínima, máxima e média obtidas foram 19,2, 33,4 e 26,3ºC, respectivamente. A cultivar Romanesco não emitiu inflorescência. As cultivares Legacy, BRO 68, Yahto, Avenger e Bozano, apesar de apresentarem as maiores produções, não são recomendadas para condições de altas temperaturas, como na região de Cáceres, por apresentarem alto índice de distúrbios fisiológicos e inflorescências defeituosas. As cultivares Salinas e Imperial constituem os genótipos mais promissores para o cultivo em condições de alta temperatura, por apresentarem boa produção e qualidade de inflorescência

Resumen
Stock investment is important for financial development in a company. Moreover, the stock price displayed by the company can be known by the people and the local economy because the company has gone public on the Indonesia Economic Exchange (IDX) at www.idx.co.id. There are several fundamental factors that influence the stock market price in a listed company and as a result the number of stock investors in Indonesia is very small. This cause made it difficult for the community to predict the stock price of banking companies at inconsistent prices. The method to be used in this paper is Linear Regression using Excel tools to perform calculations and SPSS 16.0 as a data mining tool. The research data taken is historical data of banking companies for 3 periods as a whole in the form of excel that has been downloaded from the Yahoo Finance website. The final results are in the form of MAPE charts in 3 years period, and Average error chart in 3 years period.

Resumen
Gold is a precious metal that functions as a gem and also an investment. Gold investment is the reason for many people because it is practical, not easily damaged, easy cashed, not taxable, and other purposes. Based on this, many people choose gold as an investment. The problem for people who will invest in gold is related to uncertain gold price predictions so that the accuracy of forecasting methods are needed. The purpose of this paper is to forecast accurately daily gold prices using the Neural Network Autoregressive (NNAR) method. Training Data to find out the value of accuracy in the NNAR method uses secondary data obtained from Yahoo Finance in the form of daily gold prices. Test results on the NNAR method produce a better and more accurate level using the NNAR (25,13) model with a MAPE value of 0.370707, a MASE of 0.5851083, and an RMSE of 6.939331. The conclusion of the results of this paper is the daily price of gold is influenced by the daily price of gold a day ago to 24 periods ago with the NNAR (25,13) model.

Resumen
Mobile portals have become a common entry point to the mobile Internet, and take a number of forms. They may be service provider portals, such as Vodafone’s Live! portal (Vodafone, 2006), offering access to both in-house and brokered external services. Alternatively, they may be public pure play sites that provide some kind of managed access to resources using a yellowpages approach. Good examples of this kind of mobile portal are WordDial (WordDial, 2006) and graBBit (Grabbit, 2006), though they have very different approaches to the way that they provide targeted access to resources, with WordDial using a keyword approach and graBBit modeled on more traditional search engines. As well as mobile and pure play operators, mobile portals are also provided by device manufacturers (e.g., Palm (Palm, 2006)), software companies (e.g., MSN (Microsoft, 2006)) existing Web portal providers (e.g., Yahoo (Yahoo, 2006)), mass media companies (e.g., AOL (AOL, 2006)) and transaction providers (m-commerce sites).

Resumen
Web 2.0 has totally changed the health communication world. In particular, it has reconfigured peer exchanges about health. These exchanges are important because they allow knowledge sharing and construction between patients, in particular chronic patients. Although their importance is well established, this field of study brings together a variety of theories not uniformly shared or understood. It is not clear how patients use Web for knowledge processes: what kind of knowledge processes happen in Web 2.0 between patients? How does Web 2.0 sustain or impede these processes? The aim of this research is to map virtual exchanges about diabetes in Italy by developing a systematic exploration of Web using the main search engines (Google, Yahoo) and analyzing the site that hosts posts and exchanges about diabetes. According to a psychosocial perspective, findings highlight the main features of online knowledge processes among patients.

Resumen
A visitor to the dell.com web page finds a message prominently displayed in the upper left-hand corner: “Choose a Country/Region.” The cisco.com page likewise asks users to “Select a Location.” Yahoo’s web page has a “Yahoo International” link that connects to a global map with over twenty-five hyperlinks to specialized web pages tied to particular countries (like Denmark, Korea, and Argentina) and regions (like Asia). Everywhere on the web, sites ask viewers to identify their geographical location. Geographical links are puzzling for those who think of the Net as a borderless medium that renders place irrelevant. But the puzzle disappears when we see that, globalization and the supposed death of distance notwithstanding, national borders reflect real and important differences among peoples in different places. As this chapter shows, geographical borders first emerged on the Internet not as a result of fiats by national governments, but rather organically, from below, because Internet users around the globe demanded different Internet experiences that corresponded to geography. Later chapters will show how governments strengthened borders on the Net by employing powerful “top-down” techniques to control unwanted Internet communications from abroad. But in order to understand fully why the Internet is becoming bordered, we must first understand the many ways that private actors are shaping the Internet to accommodate differences among nations and regions, and why the Internet is a more effective and useful communication tool as a result. The most immediate and important difference reflected by borders is language. People in Brazil, Korea, and France don’t want English language versions of Microsoft products. They want a version they can read and understand. Microsoft learned this lesson when it tried to distribute an English version of Windows operating system in tiny Iceland. Redmond executives thought the market of 500,000 worldwide Icelandic speakers did not justify translation costs and figured the English version would suffice because most Icelanders spoke English as a second language. But Icelanders felt that Microsoft’s plan would imperil their language, which has retained basically the same grammar, spelling, and vocabulary for more than a thousand years.
