Geographical information systems (GIS) provide forest managers with tools to use in planning forest operations by allowing them to visualize and integrate data into the planning decisions. As the forest planning process becomes increasingly complicated, there is a need to assist forest planners with operative tools. The combined use of GIS and multi-criteria decision methods (MCDM) allows fores...

Land-use change has an impact on growing physical flood vulnerability. Geographic Information System (GIS) and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) approaches are increasingly being used for vulnerability assessments. However, none time-series land cover data evaluation rainfall over various return periods prediction simultaneously, especially in Indonesia. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate pr...

Public participatory geographic information systems (PP GIS) aim at enlarging citizen’s involvement and participation in decision-making processes. In this paper we review existing online PP GIS applications and present the framework of our analysis. We concentrate on the aspects of interactivity of such applications and the GIS functionalities needed for their operation. First results of ongoi...

objectives: to locate the road emergency stations in fars province based on using spatial multi-criteria decision making (delphi method).    methods: in this study, the criteria affecting the location of road emergency stations have been identified through delphi method and their importance was determined using analytical hierarchical process (ahp). with regard to the importance of the criteria...

A prototype geographic information system (GIS) for the analysis of motor vehicle collisions in Honolulu, Hawaii, is described. An overview of GIS hardware and software is provided along with criteria utilized in the development of the Hawaii system. Mapping and spatial data sources relevant to traffic safety are described and evaluated. The usefulness of Census Bureau Topologically Integrated ...

PRO-GRADE is an ESRI ArcGIS 9.2 plug-in package that consists of two separate toolkits: (1) the pattern recognition organizer for geographic information system (PRO-GIS) and (2) the ground water recharge and discharge estimator for GIS (GRADE-GIS). PRO-GIS is a collection of several existing image-processing algorithms into one user interface to offer the flexibility to extract spatial patterns...
