After one decade of development, the methods to explore the temporal and spatial process of LUCC (Land Use and Land Cover Change) have been vastly improved; and in some sense a methodology framework used to study the temporal and spatial process is being rapidly developed. The methodology framework is based on the integration of the classical theories of Geography and the recent developed techn...

The current lack of error-sensitive functionality found in commercial GIS is at odds with the research focus error-sensitive GIS development has enjoyed over recent years. In an attempt to address this undesirable situation, this paper explores a number of different error-sensitive GIS research themes from the perspective of GIS users. Increasingly, GIS users need to fulfil a variety of differe...

The increasing popularity of the Internet has led to the development of Web applications, known as Web GIS. A geographic information system (called GIS from now) is a software system that manages geo-referenced information. GIS systems are an automated system used for storing, analysing and manipulating geographical information. Geographical information represents objects and actions where geog...

Floods are one of the most dangerous and common disasters worldwide, and these disasters are closely linked to the geography of the affected area. As a result, several papers in the academic field of humanitarian logistics have incorporated the use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) for disaster management. However, most of the contributions in the literature are using these systems for ...

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is an exciting development in Geography education locally and internationally. GIS has been part of the senior high school curriculum for over a decade South Africa. However, matric pass rates section Geography, which examined paper 2 national examinations, are low. This research was conducted to investigate teaching methods used by teachers teach schools Fr...

The Census employs a crude level of spatial accuracy and detail in the creation of TIGER/Line data. This level is sufficient for the collection of the census and to allow demographic GIS analysis of the data. Consequently TIGER/Line data cannot be overlayed with more accurate data. This paper presents County of Contra Costa Community Development Department to recreation of TIGER blocks using ou...
