In this research, MCDM methods have been integrated with a GIS to provide the means to prioritise branch closure procedures based upon a variety of different choice criteria and on the importance (weight) a decision maker might attach to these. Both MCDM and GIS are well established methods and fields of research. Their integration, however, seems at best an emerging field. This paper describes...

There is growing needs for web based GIS for easy and fast dissemination, sharing, displaying and processing of spatial information which in turns helping in decision making for various natural resources based applications. In order to make a cost effective implementation, operation and maintenance of spatial information over the web, a cheaper yet feature rich alternative to commercial softwar...

Background: Reliable access to basic services can improve a community's resilience to HIV/AIDS. Accordingly, work is being done to upgrade the physical infrastructure in affected areas, often employing a strategy of decentralised service provision. Spatial characteristics are one of the major determinants in implementing services, even in the smaller municipal areas, and good quality spatial in...

Iron chrome oxide (FeCr 2O4), is a commercially viable and major ingredient of stainless steel. The Odisha state in India possesses 98% the pre-Cambrian India’s Chromite ore deposits Sukinda valley, Jajpur District. To meet present escalating demand for chromium steel industries, it urged to extract more satiate domestic needs. depletion deposits, rise demand, fewer mines, less conversion from ...

Abstract Background The main obstacle for local and daily or weekly time-series mapping using very high-resolution satellite imagery is the high price availability of data. These constraints are currently obtaining solutions in line with development improved UAV drone technology a wider range imaging sensors that can be used. Findings Research conducted Inspire 2 quadcopter drones RGB cameras, ...

Today, not only scientists and researchers, but public services and governments as well use DSS (Decision Support System) methods to solve forest policy and management problems in order to meet the multiple needs of the public and to achieve the greatest possible effectiveness. This paper presents and analyses the current trends in emerging DSS applications for the sector of forest policy and m...

There is an increasing interest in agent-oriented technology, spanning applications as diverse as information retrieval, user interface design and network management. Application of intelligent agents in the GIS environment is actively being explored. Many different types of agents are being employed to improve usability of GIS software as well as users access to geospatial data and services av...

Vector data is captured using various methods, e.g. manual digitizing, automatic vectorization etc. Errors or inconsistencies, e.g. self-cutting polygons, identical points etc, can not be avoided, even if digitizing is done very carefully. Vector data must be analyzed and corrected prior to any GIS application. This process is called “line-cleaning”. In this paper we introduce a computer progra...
