Geographic Information System (GIS) is one of the important elements of the IT infrastructure of local governments. In recent years, in the consequence of development of Web-based GIS technology, the definition of GIS has been changing to “Geospatial Information Service”. For a local government, the geospatial information service is becoming an important IT system in the field of information se...

In the domain of housing market analyses decision makers typically are supported by Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The new Web Processing Service (WPS) standard of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) offers nowadays the possibility to realize GIS analysis functionalities also on the Internet via a standardized interface. In this article we present how we applied the WPS specification fo...

A geographical information system (GIS) is proposed as a suitable tool for mapping the spatial distribution of forest ® re danger. Using a region severely a ected by forest ® res in Central Spain as the study area, topography, meteorological data, fuel models andhuman-caused riskweremappedand incorporated within a GIS. Three danger maps were generated: probability of ignition, fuel hazard and h...

The Nasca lines or geoglyphs in southern Peru are known as one of archaeology's greatest mysteries. Since the 1980s, however, new approaches have helped to better understand their function and meaning. The recent photogrammetric recording of 1 500 geoglyphs in the vicinity ofPalpa enabled for the first time a GIS-based analysis. Geoglyph visibility is one of their most discussed traits. While m...

Several paediatric radiologists and medical physics experts who are specialized in paediatric CT imaging and also scanner suppliers have taken part in preparing this guide. STUK expresses its greatest thanks to them for sharing their expertise and their good cooperation.

Geospatial technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) have been widely used in land resources survey and environmental monitoring. Assessment and monitoring of natural resources like land, soil, water and vegetation and socio-economic conditions and integrating them in a spatial information platform like GIS will facilitate the effective management of land resou...

Geographic information systems (GIS) are becoming more usual due to the improved performance of computer systems. The traditional three-tier architecture for information systems is being used for the software architecture of GIS, but geographic information has some special qualities that make the use of the traditional architecture inappropriate. We analyze in this paper the special characteris...
