Applying geographic information technology in the area of cultural heritage has recently raised a great deal of interest. Indeed, several geographic information systems (GIs) have been developed targeted to applications l ~ k e tourism promotion, archaeological investigations and monument preservation. In spite of GIs high potentiality, users are often faced with the implicit complexity of data...

The watersheds of the Dhenkanal district Odisha, India with centrally flowing, river Brahmani identified and explored. added anthropogenic stresses are unattended that affect land, hydrology, ecology, vegetation, fertility soil. Population growth, migration to cities, challenges, continuous disasters, block growth.
 Arc GIS software its Hydrology toolset were utilized. Digital Elevation Mo...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to provide a scientific method based on Geographical Information System (GIS) regarding all sustainable development measures to locate a proper landfill for disposal of hazardous wastes, especially industrial (radioactive) wastes. METHODS Seven effective factors for determining hazardous waste landfill were applied in Qom Province, central Iran. These crit...

The geomechanical classification SMR (Slope Mass Rating) enables the preliminary assessment of the susceptibility of rock slopes to failure. The SMR index is obtained from Bieniawski’s basic RMR (Rock Mass Rating) through an “adjustment factor” and an “excavation factor”. Since its appearance in 1985, this classification has been used for appraisals and preliminary studies in many countries. Th...

This paper attempts to describe the state of Rainwater Harvesting (RWH) techniques and the contributions of GIS and Remote Sensing (RS) technologies for RWH in The Syrian Desert (AL-Badia). Studies were conducted using physiographic factors of The Syrian Desert (the natural factors, the climatic factors, the pastoral cover, and animal wealth) for the applications of GIS and Remote sensing techn...

A new method (the ‘sink’ method) is proposed for the mapping of productive mesoscale oceanic thermal fronts based on the combined analysis of satellite imagery for sea surface temperature (SST) distribution and chlorophyll (CHL) concentration under a Geographic Information System (GIS). In an SST lattice data array, data value sinks describe heterogeneous drops in SST distribution as this is co...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE An outbreak of symptomatic viral hepatitis in children less than 10 yr of age in Vellore, south India, was investigated and the disease pattern studied using serological and epidemiological methods, supplemented by geographic information systems (GIS) mapping. METHODS Three cases of hepatitis A were identified during routine surveillance in a birth cohort House-to-house...

To improve understanding of population structure, ecosystem relationships and predictive models of human impact in cetaceans and other marine megafauna, we developed geneGIS, a suite of GIS tools and a customized Arc Marine data model to facilitate visual exploration and spatial analyses of individual-based records from DNA profiles and photo-identification records. We used the open source prog...
