The functionality of spatial process analysis is the foundation of GIS’s comprehensive application . To realize such a goal. it is desirable that not only the data model of GIS can represent the datasets needed by spatial process models, but also GIS is able to do multitemporal spatial analysis. But most of current GISs are static in essence, they cannot represent temporal information and tempo...

Three-dimensional geographic information systems (3D GIS) attempt to understand and express the real world from the perspective of 3D space. Currently, 3D GIS perspective carriers are mainly 2D and not 3D, which influences how 3D information is expressed and further affects the user cognition and understanding of 3D information. Using mixed reality as a carrier of 3D GIS is promising and may ov...

The use of object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD) in GIS research, development and application is now well established. However, the tendency towards informality in OOAD techniques means many of the potential benefits of object-orientation (OO) are being discounted. Recent advances in the formal representation of OO systems may help realise these benefits with respect to some of the key con...

This paper examines the design and implementation of ParcBIT, a multimedia GIS CD-ROM presenting the information required for the development of a Master Plan for a Technological Park in the island of Majorca (Spain). The CD-ROM is the information resource of an international competition for Master Plan proposals in which world leading architects took part. Environmentally conscious planning is...

This paper introduces the characteristics of Geography Information System (GIS) and the actuality and assignment of environmental monitoring. The authors expound GIS applications in ecological monitoring, water monitoring, air monitoring and environmental noise monitoring, then illuminate the vital role of GIS in environmental protection. GIS is the computer information system that can collect,...

The rapid development of Geographic Information System (GIS) and Global Position System (GPS) has attracted the attention of both business practitioners and academic researchers. GIS and GPS technologies, through providing optimized schedules, routings, and guidance, are especially important and helpful in transportation and logistics businesses. Though GIS and GPS technologies have been witnes...

With the recent developments in web-based GIS applications, the process of accessing, sharing, disseminating and analyzing data has changed. Web-based GIS uses the Internet to access and transmit data and the analysis tools to enhance the visualization and integration of spatial data. Multimedia GIS also allows the users to access a wide range of multimedia data. Integration of webbased GIS and...

In developing countries, the lack of infrastructure like GPS (Global positioning system) and GIS (Geographic Information system) have hindered the growth of the police department. This paper proposes a simple, useful and cost effective solution for crime mapping. Google cloud resources like satellite data, application and GIS software have been used to develop this application. The developer re...
