Natural crises form a big threat on environment; these crises mean the loss of enterprises and individuals, and therefore losses in the sum total of community development. Management to these crises is required through a crisis management plan to control the crises before, during, and after the event. One of the most needed things to consider during preparing the crisis management plan is prepa...

Increasing application of Geospatial information requires integration , fusion and interoperability of current monolithic GIS, especially more complex and multidisciplinary involved application. Interoperability is base for information integration and fusion. we give five-level GIS interoperability model(InteroModel5). The spatial information infrastructure(SII) provides a sharing spatial infor...

Studies about geographical information systems (GIS) use contribute to geographic information science through critical evaluation of the concepts embedded in GIS tools. Social-behavioural studies about group use of GIS help us to understand the social implications of GIS because groups are fundamental units underlying intra-organizational, organization-wide, and inter-organizational activity in...

Interdisciplinary research projects with environmental focus need an information technology which is capable of describing the flow of minerals and other substances with respect to space and time. Especially time dependencies are of great interest in many environmental studies, where changes can often be shown only via trend analysis of time series. A suitable technology must also supply method...

While most current Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are 2D GIS, more and more application domains as geology, civil and military engineering, etc, need 3D GIS. The particularities and capabilities of a 3D GIS are outlined in this paper. Although 3D GIS are not much developped, some studies have already been done, especially in order to represent 3D data for geological or architectural app...

Development and use of remediation technologies for contaminated soils and water progresses at a very fast pace and thus a large number of cleanup alternatives emerge. The selection of the most appropriate Remediation technology for the given site must be based on many, usually conflicting, criteria. To successfully apply all these criteria a multicriteria decision support system (DSS) is neede...

It is an indispensable prerequisite for the establishment of geographic information database to convert all kinds of digital topographic map data to Geographical Information Systems (GIS) requirements. This paper introduces the significance and purpose of realizing the rapid conversion of CAD data to GIS data, and discusses the technical ideas of the conversion process. By using the computer-ai...

Maps have been major sources of information for a long time. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) use digital data, elevation models, satellite images, expert systems and related open source information for planning, detection, evaluation and decision making. Maps as well as GIS use spatial attributes of data in particular. Spatial Information derived is a feature of both data and language to c...

35 ABSTRACT: There is a gap when representing detailed information related to public on maps due to limitations of underlying data sources. The purpose of this research is to scan the research output on Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and relational databases, then develop an implementation by combining these two technologies GIS and graph databases in order to fill the identified resear...

We present here an autonomous agent-based system tightly coupled with Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Our objective is to model a city’s dynamic in order to foresee both its urban evolution and the influence that the appearance of new settlements has on the overall electricity demand. This environment is deployed on a GIS-based Multi-Agent System platform where the geographical and commun...
