Exploring the spatial distribution of intangible cultural heritage (ICH) by geographic information system (GIS) is a new perspective. It can help to identify laws and characteristics formation evolution ICH further support development protection. This paper takes Shaanxi Province as research area analyse mathematical statistics using nearest neighbour index (NNI) kernel density estimation (KDE)...

The cognitive significances of geographic objects play an important role in optimizing a set of place names presented on a map interface. The aim of this research is to assign a value for cognitive significance to each place name in GIS, based on regional documents collected from the Web. The assigned values could be used in GIS applications including regional information searches, path finding...

Analysis of land cover change is one of the major challenges in the remote sensing and GIS domain, especially when multi-temporal or multi-sensor analyses are conducted. One of the reasons is that errors and inaccuracies from multiple datasets (for instance caused by sensor bias or spatial misregistration) accumulate and can lead to a high amount of erroneous change. A promising approach to cou...

This study aims to develop a social media GIS (Geographic Information Systems) specially tailored to information exchange between regions. The conclusions of this study are summarized in the following three points.(1) Social media GIS is a geographic information system which integratesWeb-GIS, SNS and Twitter into a single system. A social media GIS was conducted for the collection of regional ...

The research area was conducted within the Bukit Persekutuan, Kuala Lumpur, and it located at latitude 3° 8'32.93"N longitude 101°40'32.80"E. researcher carried out geological terrain mapping to evaluate in accordance with classification attributes of each thematic map produced, namely, Terrain map, slope gradient erosion, instability as well construction suitability map. occurrence landslide e...

This paper has proposed GML-GIS, which is a prototype system for geographic information service over the Web based on GML (Geography Markup Language). This system generates geographic information into GML document by user requests through URL and provides them with various styles applied to the document on the Web browser. This proposed system converts geographic information of a spatial databa...

Environmental models and modeling frameworks typically do not represent geographic information in a way that enables the direct translation of this information between geographic information systems (GIS) and the model or modeling framework. Parameters of the characteristics of geographic features are processed as part of a model’s mathematical solution and are thus explicitly represented in th...

A tsunami warning system based on active database system with satellite derived real-time data of tidal, significant wave height and ocean wind speed as well as assimilation data of sea level changes as one of the global risk management systems is proposed. Also, Geographic Information System (GIS) with free open source software of PostGIS is proposed for active database system. It may be said ...
