Geography, as a discipline which examines the earth, aims to increase analytical thinking skills by instilling spatial (ST) in students. The youth who enrich sense of space with these talents will effectively solve problems they encountered. In modern world, where issues are frequently being faced with, ST is extremely important for analyzing and interpreting data. Geographical information syst...

In this paper, a new semantic and graphic model is introduced to analyze the present status of the natural gas industries and markets in Japan and USA. The proposed method is based on the simulation of the physical flows and transaction flows of natural gas (NG) by using MFM(Multilevel Flow Model) and GIS(Geographic Information System), and it is used for the inter-comparison of supply, transpo...

Forensic geoscience (geoforensics) is the application of earth sciences to receive reality. There is not enough knowledge about geoforensics in Iran, and so, in this paper the best applications are reviewed. Forensic geoscience can be divided to four major groups: pedology, mineralogy and petrology; geophysics; natural geography and geoscience; remote sensing, location data and Geographic infor...

Safety and security and considered a critical issue in railways. Applying geographic information system (GIS) and Global Positioning System (GPS) in the railway becomes very important. Web-based GIS makes it easy to exchange information and create better public communication through the Web site. It helps to plan for a trip by checking train times, stations and different lines between stations....

Mobile Geographical Information System (Mobile GIS) is a Geographical Information System based on mobile computing and mobile Internet. It is not a conventional GIS modified to operate on a smaller computer, but an extension of Web GIS to mobile Internet including wireless Internet/Intranet and mobile communication network. But architectures of Web GIS are unsuitable for Mobile GIS, because of ...

Increasing application of Geospatial information requires integration , fusion and interoperability of current monolithic GIS, especially more complex and multidisciplinary involved application. Interoperability is base for information integration and fusion. we give five-level GIS interoperability model(InteroModel5). The spatial information infrastructure(SII) provides a sharing spatial infor...
