Study on Web-based Distributed Virtual City Environment

Web-based 3D GIS becomes one of the major areas of GIS research, which extend distributed virtual geographic environment when integrated with virtual reality. Distributed virtual city environment, one of the most important research fields, will meet the demands of the urban planning and urban landscape. Firstly, a CORBA-based distributed architecture is presented. Secondly, a new 3D LOD buildin...

WebGIS to Managing Natural Resource: Case of Flooded Pasture in Lake Débo and Walado Débo

Lake Débo and Walado Débo, one of the major Sahelian wetlands is located in Inner Delta (Mali). Given the environmental and community interest in this wetland, there is urgent need to share spatial data on natural resources. Most of the covered information is published in (internal) reports with a limited distribution. With the advent of GIS and Internet technologies, the conventional intricaci...

LAGA: A Software for Landscape Allocation using Genetic Algorithm

In this paper, Landscape Allocation using Genetic Algorithm (LAGA), a spatial multi-objective land use optimization software is introduced. The software helps in searching for optimal land use when multiple objectives such as suitability, area, cohesion and edge density indices are simultaneously involved. LAGA is a flexible and easy to use genetic algorithm-based software for optimizing the sp...
