background: short golden time is important to save the injured in earthquake and to start search and rescue (sar) operation as soon as possible in affected regions. this study evaluated application of geographic information system (gis) for sar operation in rigan town, kerman province, which was hit by an earthquake of 6.3 richter scale on december 12, 2010 at 22:12. materials and methods: a gi...

A geographic information system (GIS) integrates hardware, software, and data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information. With the advancement of technologies and internet it allows for the emerging of GIS to be considered as a WebGIS. In order to build a WebGIS for connecting to geodata sources we need commonly acceptable standards for...

Geographic information system (GIS) technologies can offer significant advantages over conventional computer programs designed to predict Loran-C coverage. While newer conventional coverage prediction programs offer sophisticated propagation and interference modeling, flexibility in the specification of positioning techniques, and improved mapping quality, geographic information systems offer t...

Mobility is an emerging concept in the GIS (Geographic Information Systems) domain and according to some specialists it will introduce a revolution on the way GIS users interact with their data. With this paper, we propose a system architecture for a global, fully mobile and location based GIS system, creating an abstraction to support generic multi-level geo-referenced data, from satellite ima...

Selecting a Geographic Information System (GIS) based on Free Software (FS) is a difficult task vis-à-vis its technological complexity, the wide range of this type of systems and their functionalities. Therefore, provides a set of quality characteristics used to evaluate FS-GIS. This set of characteristics is presented on the product perspective of the Systemic Software Quality Model (MOSCA), w...
