Taken 1:10000 Scale topographic map in the small watershed of Genxi River as an example, under the support of ARCVIEW and ARC/INFO software of GIS, through digitizing topographic map and other special maps to set up a spatial geodatabase. This paper forms a digital elevation model and has an analysis of slope and aspect, also discovered knowledge referenced for soil and water conservation. The ...

Mega-urbanization presents researchers with a network of densely interwoven problems that elude disciplinary boundaries. We report on the development of a spatial knowledge management and agent simulation framework that is designed to integrate closely with the process of trans-disciplinary research into the dynamics of complex human-environment systems. We argue that our choice of knowledge re...

Mobile information technology offers a new perspective for the geosciences, by providing ubiquitous access to environmental and geoscientific information. With this new instrument the analysis of planning, geoscientific processes, and natural disasters can be supported on-line. In this contribution a geoscientific case study is outlined that shows the potential behind mobile spatial services. F...

This work concerns a proposal of the integration of InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) data acquired by ground-based (GB) and satellite platforms. The selected test site is the Åknes rockslide, which affects the western Norwegian coast. The availability of GB-InSAR and satellite InSAR data and the accessibility of a wide literature make the landslide suitable for testing the propo...

Abstract. Engineering education accreditation is a new engineering model promoted by the Ministry of Education in China, which aims to cultivate ability students solve complex problems. A course named “integrated practicum Geomatics” (IPG) was innovatively designed for undergraduate specialty Geomatics. This involves current advanced technologies lay solid foundation engage Geomatics through ae...

The quickly increasing number of spatio-temporal applications in fields like environmental management, geology and mobile communication is a new challenge to the development of database management systems. After discussing the related work we present concepts and implementations for the modelling and persistent management of geological long-period scientific data. The spatio-temporal classes ar...

In Multi Agent Systems applied to the social science simulations the construction of evolution rules applied to agents (individual agents and aggregated agents) follows three main approaches. A first approach is based on urban theories and rules derived from analytical models; a second one is based on “expert knowledge” and rules derive from the know-how of the modeler or from common sense; the...

As the utilization of geospatial techniques continues to surge, spatial information has become an integral part of decision-making. In Uganda, the use of geospatial techniques in provision of health services planning has gained momentum after a comprehensive survey of health units and the development of a national health services geodatabase. Planning for the provision of health infrastructure ...
