Urban ecological vulnerability is measured on the basis of ecological sensitivity and resilience based on the concept analysis of vulnerability. GIS-based multicriteria decision analysis (GIS-MCDA) methods are used, supported by the spatial analysis tools of GIS, to define different levels of vulnerability for areas of the urban ecology. These areas are further classified into different types o...

(With due deference to United States Founding Father, Thomas Jefferson) When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one GIS user group to dissolve the licensing agreements which have connected them with a proprietary software vendor and to assume among the free and open source GIS users of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the capabilities of Geospatial Software...

A need exists within urban planning for techniques to promote sustainable policies and developments for this to become possible, we need to enhance and facilitate stakeholder understanding and involvement in decision making and in monitoring the impacts of management policies. GIS (Geographical Information Systems) are commonly used as planning and analysis tools in developing countries, while ...

The statistical relaLionships among the glycolytic intermediates (GIs) of the Embden-Meyerhof pathway, adenine nucleotides (ANs) and various hematological measures were estimated for 34 sickle cell anemia patients, Heterogeneity in linea:: and quadratic regressions of hemoglobin and hematocrit, both singly and jointly, on the GI and AN variables implied 1) that any single formula to standardize...

With the prevalence of computer and development of information technology, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have long used for a variety of applications in electrical engineering. GIS are designed to support the analysis, management, manipulation and mapping of spatial data. This paper presents several usages of GIS in power utilities such as automated route selection for the construction o...

* Corresponding author Automated generation of maps from remotely sensed images remains an unsolved problem in the quest for bringing together image analysis and GIS technologies. This paper proposes a framework for an automatic scene interpretation system with the objective of populating/updating a GIS database. The proposed approach exploits semantic contextual information, combining scene an...

This paper discussed the concepts and development of a multimedia geographic information system (GIS) for analyzing and visualizing both spatial and temporal geographic information in image/vector format as well as multimedia information in descriptive text, graphics, ground photographs and digital video clips. The multimedia GIS presents a new way to analyze and visualize geographic informatio...

This paper describes a decision support system based on GIS and satellite remote sensing analysis. Damage triggered by the 2004 Niigata-ken Chuetsu Earthquake was detected using NDVI from SPOT images and texture analysis. Then the emergency transportation route was selected by a cost-based GIS analysis. As the result of the analysis, large-scale damage could be detected with high accuracy. From...
