By using remote sensing data, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) provide convenience in determining basin morphology and watershed planning studies. For this aim, the applicability of Arc-GIS software Afrin Bridge Basin by processing Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data hydrological analysis tools parameters (i.e. boundary, variation elevation, drainage area, flow network, slope) were investiga...

In the UK as in many other countries interest is growing rapidly in the nature and capabilities of Geographic Information Systems (CIS). Given the relatively small number of systems currently in use and, in particular, the very restricted number of individuals who have used CIS for a wide range of applications, a conflict of interests arises. It is desirable that education and training is provi...

This paper presents an overview of the GIS and remote sensing applications in natural resources management in Bangladesh and the information were taken from secondary sources. The first national Agro-Ecological Zone (AEZ) database was prepared in the period from 1980 to 1987. The database contains information on the country's land resources including physiography, soils, climate, hydrology, cro...

Dengue is one of the major hurdles to the public health in Sri Lanka, causing high morbidity and mortality. The present study focuses on the use of geographical information systems (GIS) to map and evaluate the spatial and temporal distribution of dengue in Sri Lanka from 2009 to 2014 and to elucidate the association of climatic factors with dengue incidence. Epidemiological, population and met...

Local climate zones (LCZ), which are widely used in urban heat island studies, include climate-based classification of the city to determine climatic differences metropolitan area. Therefore, mapping methods have been developed visualise LCZ classes. Compared raster-based method, vector-based makes a more precise and accurate evaluation, is not due difficulty creating obtaining dataset. This st...
