USDA Forest Service Proceedings RMRS–P–13. 2000 Abstract.— This paper presents an integrated system to support urban natural resource mcnagement. With the application of remote sensing (RS) and geographic information systems (GIS), the paper emphasizes the methodology of integrating information technology and a scientific basis to support ecosystem-based management. First, a systematic integrat...

water resources suitability is one of the most important factors to sustainabilityutilization of natural potential by rangeland grazing suitability. to determine this factor inshort time, low cost and high accuracy are most challenges of experts and ranchers. usingsuitable technique for this subject can be sustainable utilization comprising from rangelandecosystems according to its degradation ...

This review highlights the progress and current status of remote sensing (RS) and geographical information systems (GIS) as currently applied to the problem of Plasmodium falciparum malaria in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The burden of P. falciparum malaria in SSA is first summarized and then contrasted with the paucity of accurate and recent information on the nature and extent of the disease. Th...

Analysis of spatial and temporal changes of vegetation cover using remote sensing (RS) technology, in conjunction with Geographic Information Systems (GIS), is becoming increasingly important in environmental conservation. The objective of this study was to use RS data and GIS techniques to assess the vegetation cover in 1989 and 2009, in the barangays (smallest administrative units) of the cit...

Beginning in 1970, the potential of remote sensing (RS) techniques, coupled with geographical information systems (GIS), to improve our understanding of the epidemiology and control of schistosomiasis in Africa, has steadily grown. In our current review, working definitions of RS, GIS and spatial analysis are given, and applications made to date with RS and GIS for the epidemiology and ecology ...

Information System (GIS) has been well established as an information system for acquiring, storing, processing, analyzing and visualizing spatial data. The success of GIS is reflected from the following developments: (1) numerous GIS software have been developed and are widely used; (2) A large amount of spatial datasets have been collected and used; (3) Many books and papers have been written ...

Soil erosion is one of the most important environmental problems, and it remains a major threat to the land use of mountainous environment. Runoff from eroding mountainous landscapes contains sediment and any nutrients, fertilizers that were present in the soil. Soil erosion may be reflected in reduced crop production potential, lower surface water quality and damaged drainage networks. Assessm...

In this study, land use/land cover (LULC) changes were identified in AngYai Village, Sikhottabong District, Vientiane Capital, Laos, from 2015 to 2020 using the Geographic Information System (GIS) and remote sensing (RS). Topographic maps Google Earth Pro satellite imagery data used with ArcGIS 10.8 software map use fluctuations. The study area was classified into six main types of LULC (agricu...
