Its improper disposal will easily cause serious environmental pollution, occupy substantial landfill and waste the recyclable resources. System dynamics methodology presents special merits in the study of the municipal waste management. In this paper, 16 study achievements of the system dynamics are summarized with regard ...

GIS-based hydrologic modeling offers a convenient means of assessing the impacts associated with land-cover/use change for environmental planning efforts. Alternative future scenarios can be used as input to hydrologic models and compared with existing conditions to evaluate potential environmental impacts as part of this process. Model error, however, can be significant and potentially compoun...

This work presents GeoVisual Interface an interface for visual queries in Geographic Information Systems (GIS). GeoVisual Interface is the upper level module of a complete visual query system architecture. It allows users to formulate queries using visual elements (i.e. spatial objects from a visualization area, from the database schemas or from a geographic entity metaphor) and spatial operato...
