Flood is a common disaster affecting the lives and properties of humans. It has history causing great damage to infrastructure; disrupt transportation, also, greater degree flooding can lead caving in earth landslides. Oftentimes, Lagos state, economic capital Nigeria been subjected owing heavy rainfall coupled with other causative factors. This study aims prepare flood susceptibility map state...

Estimation of reference evapotranspiration (ET0) and actual (ETc) is a key factor for estimation crop water requirement, balance irrigation scheduling. The FAO-56 Penman–Monteith equation has been accepted universally estimating (ET0). Considering the high spatial variation meteorological phenomenon limited availability such dense network data collection, application remote sensing GIS gained m...

Species Distribution Models (SDMs) are correlative models that use environmental and/or geographical information to explain patterns of species occurrences. Those models are being used in various fields including climate change, invasive species research, evolutionary biology and epidemiology. Thanks to the availability of increasing computational resources, new methods continue to be developed...

Disease maps have been playing a key descriptive role in epidemiology. Hence, they are useful tools for identification of areas of the true underlying geographical distribution of the disease incidences. The development of information system technology over the last 30 years has provided a powerful ability to examine spatial patterns, so geographical information systems (GIS) are begun to use i...

Distributed Learning Automata is automata based modelling approach for solving stochastic shortest path problems. The DLA can be applied to road networks to find shortest path that provides a spatial approach to bottom-up modelling of complex geographic systems that are comprised of infrastructure and human objects. Route finding is a popular Geographical Information System (GIS) application un...

The paper introduces an overview on the researches we are currently carrying out on the integration of semantic aspects in Geographical Information Systems. Through an overview on the activities in the context of a project concerning the study of Bronze Age settlements in northern Italy, the paper shows how issues concerning semantics and GIS are currently faced to define an innovative and inte...

to achieve sustainable urban development and values from social justice; it is essential that all citizens enjoy resources, facilities and life opportunities equally. due to lack of a stable or systematic approach of measuring urban problems, disparity in environmental conditions or access to social and physical infrastructures is more obvious, especially in the cities of developing countries. ...
