Maintenance of a sustainable clean water supply is critical for our future. However, watershed degradation is a common phenomenon around the world that leads to poor water quality. In order to protect water resources, the Watershed Forest Management Information System (WFMIS), was developed as an extension of ArcGIS and is described in this paper. There are three submodels to address nonpoint s...

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...

Varioussoftware for Geographical Information Systems (GISs) have been developed and used in many different engineering projects. In GIS applications, map coverage is important in terms of performing reliable and meaningful queries. Map projections can be conformal, equal-area and equidistant. The goal of an application plays an important role in choosing one of those projections. Choosing the e...

Drawings alone are no longer a sufficient format to manage complex project data. To establish a competitive advantage in a very competitive industry, engineers, planners and designers must embrace the benefits of enterprise wide project data sets. This paper presents an approach that transforms the traditional engineering design project lifecycle by synthesizing drawing data, planning applicati...

Areal interpolation has been an active research area, but its wide adoption in the general GIS community is limited due to the lack of implementation tools in commercial software. To bridge this gap, an areal interpolation extension is developed in ArcGIS with 4 popular algorithms, 10 raster and vector implementations, and 4 commonly used error measures. A comparative case study utilizing the e...

This paper presents an advanced DInSAR-GIS technique developed by the Cartographic Institute of Catalonia (ICC) for the generation of precise terrain deformation maps using data acquired by satellite platforms. These radar systems, known as Synthetic Aperture Radars (SAR), allow obtaining terrain reflectivity images, which are processed by means of DInSAR algorithms for monitoring ground stabil...

The Landscape Genetics GIS Toolbox contains tools that run in the Geographic Information System software, ArcGIS , to map genetic landscapes and to summarize multiple genetic landscapes as average and variance surfaces. These tools can be used to visualize the distribution of genetic diversity across geographic space and to study associations between patterns of genetic diversity and geographic...

Paternity analysis using microsatellite information is a well-studied subject. These markers are ideal for parentage studies and fingerprinting, due to their high-discrimination power. This type of data is used to assign paternity, to compute the average selfing and outcrossing rates and to estimate the biparental inbreeding. There are several public domain programs that compute all this inform...
