This paper highlights how Geographic Information Systems (GIS) can be utilized to analyze biases and patterns related to physical and cultural geography in Florida. Using case recovery locations from the C. Addison Pound Human Identification Laboratory (CAPHIL), results indicate that the majority of CAPHIL cases are recovered from urban areas with medium to low population density and low rates ...

Recently, new approaches with commercial high-resolution satellite imagery in the engineering application domains have been attempted. Among them, uses of remotely sensed imagery linked with GIS-T (Geographic Information Systems for Transportation) or transportation geography are regarded as one of prospecting issues. As the matter of facts, most transportation applications are needed real-time...

This Methodolical Review describes how health geomatics can improve our understanding of the important relationship between location and health, and thus assist us in Public Health tasks like disease prevention, and also in better healthcare service planning. The reader is first introduced to health geography and its two main divisions, disease ecology and healthcare delivery, followed by an ov...

This paper presents research in Geographic Information Systems interoperability. Also, paper describes our work in development, introduces interoperability framework called GeoNis, which uses proposed technologies to perform integration task between GIS applications and legacy data sources over the Internet. Our approach provides integration of distributed GIS data sources and legacy informatio...

1. Introduction The study of geographic information sciences emerges in the last decade as an exciting multidisciplinary domain, spanning such areas as cartography, geography, remote sensing, image processing, and computer sciences. In recent years many new applications of GIS have appeared in different domain and the technology continues to expand at a spectacular rate. This advance is the res...

Saddled with the burden of increasing poverty among majority of their populace, many African countries are initiating various Poverty Alleviation Programmes (PAP). Many of these programmes however miss out the influence of geography and spatial variables as determinants of poverty, that is, the spatial dimension of the problem of poverty. Attempts are increasing being made to use GIS for povert...
