This paper explores the possibilities of adopting Business Intelligence (BI), and Geographic Information System (GIS) to build a spatial intelligence and predictive analytical approach. The proposed approach will help in solving spatial problem which faces decision makers at health sector. The proposed spatial analytical approach will cover three main health planning issues. These issues are ta...

Recent researches on Three-dimensional Geographic Information System (3D GIS) modeling technology were reviewed. The concept of 3D GIS modeling and its application in various fields were introduced. Essential techniques to realize 3D visualization were studied. A typical 3D GIS modeling usually contains the description and the transmission of GIS spatial data structure. GIS spatial data models ...

In an effort to contribute to the conceptualization of the burgeoning field of Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI), we propose to review selected definitions and debates around Geographic Information Systems (GIS). “Traditional” geographic information emerges from the interplay of the components of GIS: hardware, software, data, and application, and it is shaped by the processing of geogra...

A prototype geographic information system (GIS) for the analysis of motor vehicle collisions in Honolulu, Hawaii, is described. An overview of GIS hardware and software is provided along with criteria utilized in the development of the Hawaii system. Mapping and spatial data sources relevant to traffic safety are described and evaluated. The usefulness of Census Bureau Topologically Integrated ...

Usability of web-based geographic information systems (GIS) applications is very important because these applications are mostly focused on end users, i.e. on people who may have only a very limited knowledge of GIS, if any. Many various usability evaluation methods have been developed. Some of them involve real users or their representatives, some of them are based only on GIS experts evaluati...

Development of information technology in the field of spatial data processing has helped many digital mapping. In the present study, the authors will empower geographic information systems (GIS) for geographic data processing potential Banyuasin district. The potential of the region are agriculture, farming, and industry. The method used to develop the GIS is the waterfall approach models. Afte...

The diversity of spatial information systems promotes the need to integrate heterogeneous spatial or geographic information systems (GIS) in a cooperative environment. This paper describes the research project ISIS (Interoperable Spatial Information System) which is a semantic mediation approach to support GIS interoperability. Its key characteristic is a dynamic resolution of semantic conflict...
