With the fast development of cities in China, more and more geographic information systems (GIS) that have been combined with remote sensing information are applied to help decision-maker or company to manage and make macroscopic decisions. But the accuracy of integrated GIS was ignored by both user and producer. It followed that the uncertainty of GIS may result in wrong decision. For these re...

the research used the satellite image (landsat 7 etm ) within the thermal infrared sixth band (tir6) and geographic information system (gis) to determine the air pollution and its relationship with the land cover (lc) and land use (lu) of baghdad city. concentration of total suspended particles (tsp), lead (pb), carbon oxides (co, co2), and sulphur dioxide (so2) were obtained from 22 ground mea...

Natural disasters are extreme events within the earth's system that result in death or injury to humans, and damage or loss of valuable goods, such as buildings, communication systems, agricultural land, forest, natural environment etc. For the management of natural disasters a large amount of multi -temporal spatial data is required. Satellite remote sensing is the ideal tool for disaster mana...

Natural disasters are extreme events within the earth's system that result in death or injury to humans, and damage or loss of valuable goods, such as buildings, communication systems, agricultural land, forest, natural environment etc. The economic losses due to natural disasters have shown an increase with a factor of eight over the past four decades, caused by the increased vulnerability of ...

Academic libraries are a prime example of an enterprise whose mission is to support the information needs of its institution. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing (RS) are popular topics for academic research and are used globally. Two major enterprise information service and data delivery models, centralized and distributed, describe how enterprises approach information shar...

the complexity of urban systems in our recent world, make it difficult to evaluation and explanation of their changes with traditional and customarily methods. in the past, remote sensing has shown an ability to detect and describe urban growth patterns at different spatial scales. with new remote sensing devices (e.g. ikonos), with innovative image processing techniques and with further develo...

Managing complex tropical forest requires up to date technology in ensuring sustainable resources utilisation. Much of the current forest management practices can be improved through the use of current technologies including remote sensing, GIS (Geographic Information System) and GPS (Global Positioning System) which may enhance any decision making process. This paper highlighted the use of cur...

Many studies on remote sensing monitoring of plant diseases have been conducted. Remote sensing (RS) has played an important role in monitoring some kinds of plant diseases and making decisions for the management of the diseases. Progress on remote sensing monitoring of wheat stripe rust in China was summarized from four aspects including remote sensing monitoring stripe rust of single wheat le...

Agricultural sustainability has the highest priority in all countries, whether developed or developing. Aero-space Remote Sensing and GIS technology are gaining importance as useful tools in sustainable agricultural management and development. This paper discusses the integrated use of Remote Sensing and GIS technology in several areas for sustainable agricultural development and management in ...
