This paper presents an overview of the GIS and remote sensing applications in natural resources management in Bangladesh and the information were taken from secondary sources. The first national Agro-Ecological Zone (AEZ) database was prepared in the period from 1980 to 1987. The database contains information on the country's land resources including physiography, soils, climate, hydrology, cro...

We propose a method using a combination of ArcView and a GPS to accurately and effectively create and locate random sample points over large research areas. We also present a preliminary public health case study which used this method to locate sample sites in a rural area of Limpopo Province, South Africa. Both health and vegetation surveys were carried out at these sites. Although similar tec...

The objective of the research was to model water quality using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) interfaced with ArcView GIS. SWAT requires the integration of a range of GIS data layers; digital elevation model, soil types, land use, stream networks, water quality monitoring sites, point pollution sources and climatic observations. Prior to modeling water quality with SWAT, ArcView was ...

Vector Product Format (VPF) based databases store geographical data in a relational framework, where individual VPF files are arranged hierarchically in a directory tree structure. Access and update of the VPF data can become difficult due to fragmentation of data among multiple tables. This paper presents an object-oriented model for the management of a VPF database, which provides easy access...

In this paper we report on a linked environment of the three programs XGobi, XploRe, and ViRGIS. While XGobi and XploRe are statistical packages that focus on dynamic statistical graphics and provide analytical statistical features, respectively, ViRGIS is a 3D Virtual Reality Geographic Information System (GIS) that allows real{time access to, and visualization of, geographic data. The XGobi/X...

This study aims to determine the domicile distribution, find out high-risk areas, and risk of drug-resistant tuberculosis patients based on patient location in 15 districts Makassar City from Tuberculosis register data South Sulawesi Provincial Health Office December 2017 – April 2019 period. Gen Xpert rapid or drug sensitivity examinations were used define tuberculosis. The was geocoded by map...

The computational fluid dynamics software, CFX5.5 is employed to determine dispersions of emissions from vehicles traversing the streets. Information on the layouts and heights of buildings in the selected area is contained in a digitized map layer of buildings. The Geographic Information System software, ArcView 3.2a, with its programming facility, Avenue, has been used to extract the coordina...

A strategic approach to guide sustainable development of South Gippsland Shire in Victoria (Australia) initiated application of GIS methods in concert with data and experts. Two major models have been developed by the Strategic Resources Planning team at the Department of Natural Resources and Environment using ArcView ModelBuilder to map suitability for agricultural and urban land use. Both mo...
