A need exists within urban planning for techniques to promote sustainable policies and developments for this to become possible, we need to enhance and facilitate stakeholder understanding and involvement in decision making and in monitoring the impacts of management policies. GIS (Geographical Information Systems) are commonly used as planning and analysis tools in developing countries, while ...

This paper addresses a computer system capable of integrating, storing, analyzing, and displaying geographic information. Currently, the Geographic Information System is not only limited to cartography but also related to various data management such as natural resource management, environmental impact assessment, and etc. The Internet system allows more geographic information sharing as many u...

This paper presents the concepts and technology of GMN and its application in developing real estate management software. GMN abbreviating GIS+MIS+Network, is a new technology integrating Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Management Information Systems (MIS) in the Internet environment. Previous real estate management software products which are mainly based on MIS cannot meet various es...

3.1 INTRODUCTION " Geographic information science " has newly emerged as the study of basic and applied research issues involving geospatial information. This multidisciplinary field is concerned with the collection, storage, processing, analysis, and depiction and communication of digital information about spatiotemporal and thematic attributes of the earth, and the objects and events found th...

This paper examines the role of Intermediaries to support digital engagement, drawing from a study of Participatory Geographic Information Systems (PGIS). Working alongside the social enterprise Mapping for Change, four organisations and charities that developed Community Maps were asked to take part in semistructured interviews emphasising how PGIS could be designed to cater for broader inclus...

SAR images are perfectly suited for change detection, given that they are not affected by different sun illumination conditions and/or clouds. There is potential to improve the SAR change detection results by taking into account prior knowledge of the scene, which can be obtained from other sources of information such as high resolution optical images and data from Geographic Information System...

Child Health Improvement through Computer Automation (CHICA) is a computer decision support system (CDSS) that interfaces with existing electronic medical record systems (EMRS) and delivers "just-in-time" patient-relevant guidelines to physicians during the clinical encounter and accurately captures structured data from all who interact with the system. "Delivering Geospatial Intelligence to He...

A Geographic Information System (GIS) is an electronic information system that analyzes, integrates, and displays information based on geography. GIS systems have powerful visual display capabilities that present the results of analysis on maps on a wide variety of scales, ranging from very large (accurate to within inches) to very small (accurate only in broad overview). GIS is regarded as the...
