ecotourism as the most attractive subset of the tourism industry can contribute to natural resource conservation and local development. although great numbers of people annually visit abbasabad area, in veresk, mazandaran, to enjoy its brilliant landscape and moderate ecologic condition, there is no applicable plan for many natural attractive zones in this area. as a result, some specific well ...

In recent years remote sensing (RS), geographic information systems (GIS) and global positioning systems (GPS), have been three main technologies for spatial information acquisition, spatial data storage management, spatial data updating, spatial analysis and applications. However, the integration of the three technologies is an important issue and a big challenge to the geo-information communi...

A preliminary implementati on of a spatial decision support systern (SC?SS) for silvicult�ral planning in s_�ndary coniferous forests is presented. The SDSS provides support in structuling and factonzmg _ complex decision. pro­ blems and in evaluating decision alternatives with respect to the preferences of the dec1s1on _ maker. To _facd1�te spatial analysis of tree species suitability and deri...

Satellite remotely sensed data has significant potential use in analysis and evaluation on Landscape Pattern. Relying on the recent advances in satellite remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) techniques, this paper aims to probe into the analysis and evaluation on landscape pattern of Songpan county, which located in the north of Sichuan province, with RS and GIS. First, the ge...

This paper attempts to describe the state of Rainwater Harvesting (RWH) techniques and the contributions of GIS and Remote Sensing (RS) technologies for RWH in The Syrian Desert (AL-Badia). Studies were conducted using physiographic factors of The Syrian Desert (the natural factors, the climatic factors, the pastoral cover, and animal wealth) for the applications of GIS and Remote sensing techn...

Internet, a client/server system, is a perfect means of GIS data accessing, analyzing and transmission. The World Wide Web, FTP (file transfer protocol) and HTTP programs make it convenient to access and transfer data files across the Internet. Using Internet for GIS makes it easy access to acquire GIS data from diverse data sources in the distributed environment. The geospatial multicriteria d...

Remote sensing and GIS has emerged as an effective tool for the macro and micro level mapping of natural resources. With the increased resolution in RS data the accuracy in mapping has increased multifold and further these data may be uniformly overlaid on the geographical maps of the region or locality with various GIS packages. In order to have people’s viewpoint in the validation of ground l...
