Floods are one of the most dangerous and common disasters worldwide, and these disasters are closely linked to the geography of the affected area. As a result, several papers in the academic field of humanitarian logistics have incorporated the use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) for disaster management. However, most of the contributions in the literature are using these systems for ...

knowledge management is a process of using a source of strategic knowledge in organizations in order to find key information and organize and transfer it. many organizations adopted knowledge management systems to maintain their stability and usefulness. since there is occupational similarity between informatics experts and librarians, librarians can change to knowledge managers by being inform...

Remote sensing provides the basic data to undertake inventory of land, as well as the temporal information required to monitor sustainable land management practices. In this paper, the current use of remote sensing for sustainable land management is reviewed, and the potential of future (new) satellite systems to contribute to sustainable development is explored. Other elements for successful s...

The overall aim of this paper is to explore the potential application of Geographic Information System (GIS) technology in forest management in general and in 3 African countries. The use of GIS has flooded almost every field in the engineering, natural and social sciences, offering accurate, efficient, reproducible methods for collecting, viewing and analyzing spatial data. According to Upadhy...

s a tool for analysis and decision making, GIS and remote sensing opened a new horizon for monitor and control of diseases. Information on landuse, water bodies, vegetation, forest cover and others can be used as data sets in GIS for mapping of disease receptivity and identification of risk factors. GIS offers new and expanding opportunities to look into disease epidemiology. Even when used min...

man has always been curious about his natural environmental, and has always been trying to know it more. to do this, he has employed many different ways and has used different information. in the meantime, he has examined nature phenomena indirectly and using remote sensing. today, expert and groups of experts are using remote sensing documents and this has caused them to believe that remote se...

Remote sensing data and Geographic information systems (GIS) are relatively new and potentially valuable tools for coastal zone management. This paper examines the effectiveness of using remote sensing data to detect sea level change. Since resolution is such an important and vital element of spatial digital data for use in geographic information systems, it is important to know how to assess i...

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) techniques are of great interest for the renewable energy field [...]

to determine the suitable indices for vegetation cover and production assessment based on the remote sensing data, simultaneous digital data with field data belonging to the spring rangeland of the semirom-isfahan province were analyzed. during two years of monitoring the annual, grass, forb, and shrub vegetation cover and the total production data from 86 were collected. the global positioning...
