In this paper, a rule-based expert system is presented that uses an interactive question-and-answer s...

BACKGROUND Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have become an important tool in monitoring and improving health services, particularly at local levels. However, GIS data are often unavailable in rural settings and village-level mapping is resource-intensive. This study describes the use of community health workers' (CHW) supervisors to map villages in a mountainous rural district of Northern R...

this paper presents a mapping procedure for risk mapping of water and wind erosion, whichhelps to identify protective measures needed in the planning and management of natural parks. the map of water erosion risk was developed by combining the original and revised universal soil loss equation methodologies (usle-rusle), and the map of wind erosion risk was developed using quirantes’ method. usi...

The ability to visualize location and time information on satellite-generated maps using geographic information systems (GIS) such as Google Earth has enabled researchers with limited mapping expertise to use GIS for a wide range of applications. GIS holds special benefits for research in historical geography involving visualization of events and time-based changes in geographical information. ...
