Participatory GIS projects are increasingly popular in urban governance. This paper explores the complexities of a community involved pilot project that was implemented in the town of Verona, Wisconsin and critically examines their GIS (Geographic Information Systems) practices and the support structures that played an important role in facilitating GIS use. The paper first traces the evolution...

The combination of "voice technology" and "Mobile GIS", has greatly improved the intelligent degree of mobile GIS. Recently, significant attention in the field of scientific research is turning to how to realize quick conversion between natural language and GIS commands. However, the current study mostly concentrates on rules of conversion between natural language sentences and GIS commands fro...

This paper presents an endeavour of integration of GIS (Geographical Information System) and BIM (Building Information Modelling) for indoor geovisual analytics. The merits of two types of technologies, GIS and BIM are firstly analysed in the context of indoor environment. GIS has well-developed capabilities of spatial analysis such as network analysis, while BIM has the advantages for indoor 3...

Rapid development of Geographic Information System (GIS) has given rise to great amount of spatial database, around which a large number of GIS applications are being created. A GIS based network application for planning and management being developed in the country has typical requirement for representation of datasets at primary level .This paper examines the representation of such datasets t...

Introduction The current trend in geographic information systems (GIS) is to move away from standalone systems to those that are distributed and can provide processing capability across a network. Additionally, GIS technology is finding its way into more applications and becoming a more ubiquitous technology. Many times, users are not even aware that they are using GIS technology. As these tech...

A review of cellular automata (CA) theory is provided, with a discussion of its application in environmental modeling and simulation. CA theory shows potential for modeling landscape dynamics, so it is used to underpin a demonstration Geographic Information System (GIS) called SAGE. The grid-based GIS system is specified within the CA framework. The system is then demonstrated using an abstract...

This paper presents GinisED – geo-information system which is developed to support control and management of electric low-power supply network. But introducing a GIS into a business process of utility company will not cause change to occur if it is viewed merely as a replacement for manually drawn circuit maps. Besides describing standard GIS tool, this paper discusses its transformation to ent...

The problem of stability has long been a limiting factor in developing neural networks that can grow in size and complexity. Outside of particular, narrow parameter ranges, changes in activity can easily result in total loss of control. Human cognition must have reliable means of acting to stay within the stable ranges of sensitivity and activation. Learning is one such mechanism, and populatio...
