GIS are an essential element in archaeology. Their use has become widespread for their potential to store, reference, analyse and visualise spatial information. Nonetheless, the best of our knowledge, a systematic review academic peer-reviewed publications related GIS, as framework, archaeology never been presented before. Our goal this work is identify what published so far relation using with...

When facing local environmental issues, maps are a very effective tool. They can help in collecting facts about an area, bring issues to the table, allow for comparison between areas, act as a tool of communication with local decision makers, and identify key issues for action. While the maps on their own do not alter the power relationships within which communities live their lives, many studi...

Although land changes are characterized by dimensionality in both space and time, and a multitude of methods and techniques have been developed to model them, the temporal dimension has seldom been adequately addressed by commonly used methods. In the context of temporal complexities represented in different space– time data models, this study aims to establish a framework for applying survival...

This study provides a preliminary agro-environmental, economic and energetic analysis to critically evaluate the biomass potential ofan area of central Italy (Tuscia Romana). This area is selected as representative foragro-forestry from its orographic characteristics, climatic conditions, land use and potential energy sources. Accordingly, the model we have obtained could be used forother simil...

This paper addressed the Geographical Information Systems (GIS) in the Sultanate Oman; its implementation strategy and process constrains. It also suggested ways of enhancing its current strategy in the Sultanate of Oman. GIS was initiated in the Sultanate of Oman in late 1980s. The initial GIS implementation strategy was introduced to define the public originations requirements and then to pla...

If geographic information is to be traded as a commodity, it must be possible to measure its quantity, to compare the contents of two data sets, and to perform other simple functions such as the measurement of similarity of content. Shannon-Weaver information theory is found to be inadequate for this purpose. In current practice geographic information is priced by such medium-dependent measures...
