Geographical Information System (GIS) is an effective tool for planning and management of a metropolitan city. In developing countries like India, metropolitan governments, planning authorities and parastatals (viz. Water Supply Board, Transport Corporation etc.) have executed GIS projects independently. In recent years, many municipalities in the World have switched from stand-alone GIS system...

This paper focuses on the deployment of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI) within local government in Thai Provinces. GIS has been used extensively within local government and many countries have undertaken SDI initiatives, but these tend to focus at the national level, failing to address the local deployment issues. By their nature as infrastructures,...

With the development of wireless communication technology and Web GIS, the technology and applications of mobile GIS are also developed. Based on lightweight mobile equipment, mobile GIS has the feature of flexibility and convenience, and is suitable for field operations, but it is also low memory, low CPU, has limited display range and storage. Taking the particularity in mobile GIS into accou...

Features of the built environment are increasingly being recognised as potentially important determinants of obesity. This has come about, in part, because of advances in methodological tools such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS). GIS has made the procurement of data related to the built environment easier and given researchers the flexibility to create a new generation of environmental ...

Geospatial information is used in emergency management centers, architectural bureaus, environmental protection offices and daily life. Not only are trained experts using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) but novices, e.g. government employees, rescue workers and the general public, also use GIS. Despite the success of various GIS applications, their current use and usability is still constr...

Abstract Partial discharge (PD) detection is a valuable method for the estimation of GIS condition, and the PD mapping is benefit for GIS defects identification. To investigate the PD characteristic of the GIS model, this paper simulates different PD maps of various fault simulations, and the characteristics of PD map is acquired by the pulse amplitude, phase and the discharge density to identi...

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are widely used in different domains of applications, such as maritime navigation, museums visits and route planning, as well as ecological, demographical and economical applications. Nowadays, organizations need sophisticated and adapted GIS-based Decision Support System (DSS) to get quick access to relevant information and to analyze data with respect to g...

High-dose ionizing radiation induces severe DNA damage in the epithelial stem cells in small intestinal crypts and causes gastrointestinal syndrome (GIS). Although the tumour suppressor p53 is a primary factor inducing death of crypt cells with DNA damage, its essential role in maintaining genome stability means inhibiting p53 to prevent GIS is not a viable strategy. Here we show that the innat...

Today information systems play key role in new century, geographical information system (GIS) as a special class of information system. Now we are moving wired to wireless network, that is mobile environment shown in fig2 (any where any time and any thing computing), plays key role in this new century. In this application mobile GIS, which will be a network environment, is proposed, which can p...

With the development of mobile devices and digitalization of information, the GIS system will be more popular than before. For the variable of mobile devices and different system structure, the design of universal embedded GIS system will be more difficult. In this paper, we talked the features of embedded GIS and the key techniques, design a highly portable general embedded GIS platform, and b...
