This study aimed to analyse and evaluate the land suitability for certain fruit trees in Thuy Bang commune using GIS techniques in combination with a multi-criteria approach. At first, the databases for GIS analyses had to be developed. The data were obtained through scientific literature review, expert opinions, interviews, and professional officers. The suitability assessment in the studied a...

A successful combating operation to a marine oil spill is dependent on a rapid response from the time the oil spill is reported until it has been fully combated. In order to optimize the decision support capability of the surveillance system for oil spill contingency planning, a GIS database have been integrated with the detection tool. This paper demonstrate the parallel activities on remote s...

Nowadays a wide range of operational and research activities in different fields of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) consist of decision making problems. Decision making is the main element in the spatial analysis in geographic studies and skills related to the success of the planning process. This paper has been written in the field of GIS and decision making. This paper provides a survey ...

The project aims to develop, test and apply a Geographical Information System (GIS) for modelling access for wheelchair users in urban areas. The principal focus is to provide a GIS system that will work as a decision support and mapping tool for urban planners. In addition, the system has been designed to encompass future developments, including use as a guidance device to help wheelchair user...

Over the past 10-15 years, significant advances have been made in the development and application of geographical information systems (GIS) and remote sensing (RS). In veterinary sciences, particularly in veterinary parasitology, GIS and RS offer powerful means for disease mapping, ecological analysis and epidemiological surveillance and have become indispensable tools for processing, analysing...

Assessment of soil erosion is expensive and intensively long exercise. A number of parametric models have been developed to forecast soil erosion at drainage basins, yet Universal Soil Loss Equation, popularly known as USLE model is most widely used empirical formula for estimating annual soil loss from agricultural basins. With the advance of Remote Sensing technique it becomes possible to mea...

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...

Agricultural drought is considered to be one of the man’s worst natural enemy. Its beginning is subtle, its progress is insidious and its effect can be devastating. In a country like India, drought is considered to be a major factor of uncertainty due to vagarious of monsoon. Once there was not effective drought assessment and monitoring system, but now remote sensing plays an important role an...

Wildlife observations collected over time at a US Air Force Base (AFB) have been visually displayed through Geographic Information System (GIS) technology. By continuing to expand upon the capabilities of GIS, USDA Wildlife Services has been able to manage the Seymour Johnson AFB airfield and surrounding areas in a practical manner. A Wildlife Hazard Assessment of the AFB used GIS to clearly di...

The paper presents a GIS based spatial decision support system for modelling contaminant intrusion into water distribution system. Three models have been developed to simulate the process and risk of contamination. A seepage model predicts the contaminant zone of pollution sources and the change of concentration during migration through soil. A pipe condition assessment model ranks the conditio...
