This article provides a spatial analytical framework for using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology in housing and mortgage market research. It discusses the nature of neighborhood effects and their influence in residential market behavior and outcomes. It then discusses how GIS can aid with empirical research investigations. GIS, coupled with spatial analytical tools, offers an idea...

There has been a great development in Wireless GIS (WGIS) new century. Spatial data transferring and storage in GIS are developed from wired to wireless network. This paper first briefly introduces the technologies and strategies of spatial data transferring and storing in distributed Wireless GIS. Secondly, the schemes of spatial data transferring modes in wireless GIS for improving the networ...

The most main current of software industry tends to focus on the area of component. In this situation, software industry in GIS (Geographic Information System) also becomes an interesting issue by performing a large scale of national GIS application development as well as even small scale of FMS (Facility Management System). In order to develop those system efficiently, there should be deep con...

Many of the functions performed by GIS seem to be amenable to a business model that is fundamentally diierent from the one we see today. At present, GIS users typically own the hardware and software they use. They pay license and maintenance fees to various vendors. The alternative would be a service-oriented approach where users make their input data available to some GIS service center that p...

Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are routinely used by public and private organisations and enterprises as well as lay persons. It is becoming an infrastructure and a preconditioning web implicitly embedded in our information society. Using a GIS is no longer a specialist endeavor. It is a daily activity of non-specialist, with or without being aware of it. This of courser changes the Wor...

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have the potential to provide critical support during crisis situations. Unfortunately, most GIS require expert knowledge to operate and do not support collaboration between decision makers. A human-centered systems approach was used to develop the prototype of a multimodal, dialog-assisted visual environment for geoinformation (DAVE_G) that will support col...

GIS technology is credited with substantially improving police crime analysis and related resource allocation. Although GIS has been said to be an efficient and effective technology in policing, limited empirical assessment has been conducted. An examination of functions and a review of the literature suggests four major applications of GIS in policing: computerized crime mapping/crime analysis...

For location based GIS(Geographic Information Systems) services, to provide spatial data and spatial data processing functions to various users including personal users and other ASPs(Application Service Providers), a standard interface is necessitated. As location based GIS services can be provided through a layered architecture, separate interfaces are needed for each layer. The focus of this...

This paper presents START (Simplified Toolbar to Accelerate Repeated Tasks), a new, freely downloadable ArcGIS extension designed for non-expert GIS users. START was developed jointly by the Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD) and the University of Geneva to support frequent workflows relating to mine action. START brings together a series of basic ArcGIS tools in one ...
