This paper reviews the basics of GPS and GIS technology and describes their application for locating trees in rural park and forest settings. During a hazard tree survey in a Massachusetts state park, project members investigated the feasibility of using GPS and GIS to create maps that highlighted individual trees and other landmarks. The project intended to show that GPS and GIS can accurately locate trees. This technology is especially useful for arborists and urban foresters who need to map trees in rural parks, along rural roads and trails, and on large estates and institutional land, where other location methods are impractical. Depending on a variety of circumstances, GPS and GIS can be used in combination with aerial photographs or standard line and symbol maps to create appropriate tree maps for a particular area. Although certain problems still hinder the mapping process, new technology developments will expedite using GPS and GIS to produce maps.

GIS technology is credited with substantially improving police crime analysis and related resource allocation. Although GIS has been said to be an efficient and effective technology in policing, limited empirical assessment has been conducted. An examination of functions and a review of the literature suggests four major applications of GIS in policing: computerized crime mapping/crime analysis; “hot spots” identification; improving command-level decision making; and geographical investigative analysis (primarily offender profiling). The primary objective of this qualitative review is to identify the extent of empirical evaluations of the effectiveness of a GIS. Although there is some research reference offender profiling, results are mixed. Only two empirical evaluations have been published that examine crime mapping, and both are limited to effects on perceptions. No empirical work links GIS to police deployment effectiveness.

The development of applying database management applications is currently underway within Geographical Information Systems (GIS) applications in the Sultanate of Oman.The establishment of a national database management system in Oman is considered as the backbone that is required within the Geographic Information System project in Oman. The principal of the GIS project in Oman was built upon unifying the used software packages over the sultanate which is ARC/INFO as GIS Package and ORACLE as database management software. These packages are used within the different participating Ministries in the GIS project in Oman.The participating ministries will handle information that are shared between them. The shared information among the different ministries is the attributed data which is defined as descriptive information extracted from geographic features that usually existed on the topographic maps and the ministries maps (utility maps). The map features can be classified into different layers according to the principles of ARC/INFO GIS Package. Accordingly, the main objectives of this research paper is to explain the technique proposed for establishing a national database management system that can handle and manage the shared information amongst the participating ministries in the project. The proposed database design will be made using the ORACLE database management system. Moreover, the paper will handle a proposed idea for linking the geographic map layers with the corresponding attributed database in order to create Geographic Information System applications. As a Conclusion, it is Proposed that all the government GIS departments in the Sultanate will share the same information within a unique national database management which can be considered one of the major benefits in applying database management in the field of Geographic Information Systems.

Full textAbstract:
While geographic information systems (GIS) have proven to be powerful tools that are capable of storing, displaying, and analyzing spatially distributed information, current GIS lack adequate capabilities for handling temporal information. As a result, analyses are mostly performed assuming a fixed time point. Longitudinal analyses that take time into consideration cannot be easily accomplished. For many applications, information constantly changes in both space and time. A temporal GIS, one that is capable of handling temporal as well as spatial information, will greatly expand the current GIS applications and allow new information to be obtained. Some preliminary results are presented of an ongoing study of a temporal GIS. To explore the problems and potential benefits of a temporal GIS, a simple method has been developed to record the changes in spatial objects for time using personal computer ARC/INFO relational databases as well as a set of commands to query the spatiotemporal data. The use of this temporal GIS method is illustrated using an example of transit service analysis.

The backbone of any successful Integrated Traffic Management System (ITMS) for a metropolis is reliable, accurate, and real-time data. Travel time, speed, and delay are three of the most important factors used in ITMS for quantifying, monitoring, and controlling congestion. Global Positioning Systems (GPS) have recently become available for civil applications. As it provides real-time spatial and time measurements, it has an increasing use in conducting different transportation studies. This paper presents the application of GPS in collecting travel time, speed, and delay information on 64 major roads throughout the State of Delaware. A comparative statistical analysis was performed on data collected by GPS method, with data collected simultaneously by the conventional method. The GPS data proved to be at least as accurate as the data collected by conventional methods and was 50% more efficient in terms of manpower. Moreover, the sample-size requirement was determined to maintain 95% confidence level throughout the controlled test. Statistical trend analyses for the data collected from 1997 to 2000 are also presented and applications in the overall ITMS area are discussed.Key words: global positioning system, geographic information system, travel time and delay studies.

Precision agriculture is already being used commercially to improve variability management in row crop agriculture. In the same way, understanding how spatial and temporal variability of animal, forage, soil and landscape features affect grazing behavior and forage utilization provides potential to modify pasture management, improve efficiency of utilization, and maximize profits. Recent advances in global positioning system (GPS) technology have allowed the development of lightweight GPS collar receivers suitable for monitoring animal position at 5-min intervals. The GPS data can be imported into a geographic information system (GIS) to assess animal behavior characteristics and pasture utilization. This paper describes application and use of GPS technology on intensively managed beef cattle, and implications for livestock behavior and management research on pasture.

Full textAbstract:
Global positioning system (GPS) and geographic information system (GIS) technologies are at the cutting edge of an emerging agricultural revolution called site-specific management. Anticipated benefits are both economic and environmental because in this system, herbicides, fertilizers and other inputs are placed only where needed in the precise amounts required. The opportunities for site-specific management of crops, soils, and pests are innumerable. However, most students of agriculture and land resource sciences have little, if any, experience with the GPS and GIS technologies that provide these new opportunities. Beginning in 1995, efforts were undertaken to integrate GPS/GIS technology into the College of Agriculture curriculum. The process began with GPS/GIS training workshops for local and regional faculty. Key faculty modified curriculum within several departmental options and produced instructional modules for 12 different agriculture science courses. Experiential learning opportunities were developed and in some classes, farmer practitioners of site-specific management participated with students in identifying management problems and solutions. Instructional modules and active learning exercises were formally evaluated as to their effects on enhanced student decisionmaking skills and competency in GPS/GIS applications. Recently the new course LRES 357 “GPS/GIS Applications” was added to the curriculum and work is underway to place this course on-line.

Full textAbstract:
Spatial awareness is one of the fundamental decision making capabilities for human beings. Two key information technologies, Internet Geographic Information Services (GIServices) and wireless mobile Geographic Information Systems (GIS) can enhance the spatial awareness of decision makers and facilitate more efficient and comprehensive decision making processes. Internet GIServices provide a collaborative communication environment for sharing data, information and knowledge among multiple decision makers and stakeholders. Wireless mobile GIS combines both geospatial information and Global Positional Systems (GPS) coordinates from remotely located field-based personnel to spatial decision support systems (SDSS). By adopting broadband wireless telecommunication technology for connecting Internet GIServices and mobile GIS devices, decision makers can gather near real time information from field personnel and equally quickly distribute updated information back to the field. Communicated via wireless devices and web applications, interactive and dynamic geographic information services will enhance spatial awareness of decision makers, field personnel (such as fire fighters and police officers), and the general public.

Modern global education is characterized by an active transition to the use of new geographic information technologies. The new educational policy orients teachers and university professors towards the introduction of modern teaching methods based on the use of geoinformation and communication technologies. Modern educational technologies provide an opportunity for maximum solution of the problems for the development of education and its individualization. The system for retraining and in-service training of teachers (and teachers in pedagogical universities) also does not sufficiently take into account the vital need to master information technology by working teachers. So far, the processes of self-education predominate in the development of such technologies. Information and communication technologies (ICT) are evolving rapidly on a daily basis. Geographic information technologies, such as geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing (RS) or global positioning systems (GPS) are important parts of ICT. They are used especially in geography education, but are not limited to this. Geographic information technologies provide such new methods and means of information processing that provide high visibility for displaying diverse information and an accessible set of tools for reality analysis. GIS has great potential for information analysis in order to make management decisions in the socio-economic sphere. The publication reveals the problems of higher and secondary education related to modern geoinformation technologies for searching, interpreting and demonstrating various geographical data. Basic guidelines for the development of the implementation of geoinformation technologies in the learning environment are presented.

This study aims to utilize a Geographic Information System (GIS) as an arc routing tool (door-to-door model) for a recyclable materials selective collection program. The investigation uses real data from material gatherers association in the city of Itajubá, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The research method is modeling and simulation. TransCAD 4.8 is used because it possesses an arc routing routine. Scenarios were simulated in which the most efficient routes were sought (shortest and fastest) in comparison with the associations real trajectories, which were collected in the field of study by means of a Global Positioning System (GPS) device. The results obtained, when compared to the current system, showed better performance (distance, time and volume of material). Thus, by using a GIS, it can be said the main logistics problems in the gatherers association are direct consequences of poor structuring.

Full textAbstract:
Location translation allows the use of multiple spatial referencing methods within a geographic information system (GIS). Most GIS users are familiar with planar or spherical coordinates expressed as (x, y) pairs of numbers whose values reflect the map projection used. Coordinates are characterized as unique physical locations on the earth’s surface. Transportation professionals have added many methods of referencing data that occur along lines. Linear referencing systems generally reflect a measure of distance from a known point. Common linear referencing methods are route–milepoint and route–reference post–offset. Street (postal) address systems also fall into the category of linear references. Linear referencing methods do not uniquely define locations on the earth’s surface without additional information about the location of the line (or road) on the earth’s surface. Although many of the off-the-shelf GIS systems allow conversion among a wide variety of planar or spherical referencing systems, few accommodate linear referencing systems, and none are capable of translating among linear referencing systems or between planar or spherical and linear systems. Some of the issues that arise in the development of location translation systems are discussed. A description of the data model and database requirements of the system designed for the Utah Department of Transportation is included. This location translation system was developed to facilitate crash reporting in urban areas, although there are numerous applications within transportation agencies.

Transportation analysis involving multiple jurisdictions requires data sharing and spatial data interoperability among geographic information system (GIS) data sets. Data sharing and spatial data interoperability issues related to multijurisdictional transportation analysis are discussed. Specific techniques based on practical data-sharing, problem-solving experience are developed. To further enhance the data-sharing process, a conceptual framework is established to guide technique implementations. Regional GIS transportation (GIS-T) platforms integrated from various data sources by applying the framework and the associated techniques are also presented. To better support different transportation applications, an open GIS-T platform is proposed, consisting of a series of customized base maps, each tailored to suit individual applications and, as a whole, linked together by inherently established interoperability.

The paper discusses the use of microservice architecture in the development of distributed geographic information systems (GIS) for collecting, processing and analyzing data. Microservice architecture is used to build applications in information systems related to solving business problems, and is not widespread in the development of geographic information systems in the scientific field. However, its application is now becoming increasingly important. Decomposition of the software implementation and GIS infrastructure associated with computations and data processing into components in the form of microservices has a number of advantages, such as: increased fault tolerance, increased flexibility, reduced maintenance effort, simplified scaling, and others. The first results of the application of the microservice approach in the development of a geoinformation system for the collection and processing of hydrological and hydrobiological data on the state of water bodies are shown.

Full textAbstract:
Management of an asset by the government is a process that starts from planning to asset inventorying that have been pre-existing or obtained from legitimate assistance so that they can managed appropriately and beneficially for the community. For the government, especially in village regions, management of assets is very important, so that both government apparatus and village community get complete, accurate and real-time information about the assets owned by the village government so that the information can be used for activities of village government and communities optimally. The goal of this research is to design and build an asset management system based on geographic information system (GIS) for government in the village. The GIS-based asset management design system uses a waterfall-model approach with five stages, namely: 1) Analysis, 2) Design, 3) Implementation, 4) Integration Testing, and 5) Maintenance. This asset management application is built with web-based technology using the Leaflet framework that supports Web Map Service (WMS) layers, GeoJSON data, vectors and tile layers, while the database in this application uses MySQL. The results of this GIS-based asset management system design research can be used to store, collect, repair, process, control and monitoring assets so that asset management for activities that benefit the community can be optimally improved. For the maintenance and utilization of asset management applications, training is carried out for operators and supervisors, as well as system support personnel.

Full textAbstract:
The use of Global Positioning System (GPS) for geometrical correction (rectification) of the satellite imagery aims to establish the relation between the image coordinate system and the GPS readout coordinate system. By using this technique, the errors existing within satellite image can be calibrated and reduced as well. This paper introduces application of Geographical Information System (GIS) and image processing software in addition to GPS for measuring the coordinates of waypoints to be as ground control points (GCPs) for the geometrical correction process of the QuickBird satellite image for the adopted study area (Mosul City). For comparison purpose, the geodetic rectification process was also done for the adopted QuickBird satellite image with respect to the IKONOS imagery. Due to the low standards in the geometric design characteristics of the road which badly affected the GPS measurements, the output results show that the geodetic rectification of the QuickBird imagery with respect to IKONOS satellite image gives more accuracy of results than GCP acquired by GPS. The overall procedure applied in the present study shows the ability to give an improvement in the positional accuracy of an already georeferenced coordinate system of the QuickBird image which in turn gives a higher accuracy of the GPS tracking path for the purpose of mapping, urban planning, cartography, survey and other GIS applications .

Full textAbstract:
Remote sensing has served as an efficient method of gathering data about glaciers since its emergence. The recent advent of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Global Positioning Systems (GPS) has created an effective means by which the acquired data are analysed for the effective monitoring and mapping of temporal dynamics of glaciers. A large number of researchers have taken advantage of remote sensing, GIS and GPS in their studies of glaciers. These applications are comprehensively reviewed in this paper. This review shows that glacial features identifiable from aerial photographs and satellite imagery include spatial extent, transient snowline, equilibrium line elevation, accumulation and ablation zones, and differentiation of ice/snow. Digital image processing (e.g., image enhancement, spectral ratioing and automatic classification) improves the ease and accuracy of mapping these parameters. The traditional visible light/infrared remote sensing of two-dimensional glacier distribution has been extended to three-dimensional volume estimation and dynamic monitoring using radar imagery and GPS. Longitudinal variations in glacial extent have been detected from multi-temporal images in GIS. However, the detected variations have neither been explored nor modelled from environmental and topographic variables. GPS has been utilized independent of remote sensing and GIS to determine glacier ice velocity and to obtain information about glacier surfaces. Therefore, the potential afforded by the integration of nonconventional remote sensing (e.g., SAR interferometry) with GIS and GPS still remains to be realized in glaciology. The emergence of new satellite images will make remote sensing of glaciology more predictive, more global and towards longer terms.

In order to improve the information management of the modern digital agriculture, combined several modern digital agriculture technologies, namely wireless sensor network (WSN), global positioning system (GPS), geographic information system (GIS) and general packet radio service (GPRS), and applied them to the information collection and intelligent control process of the modern digital agriculture. Combining the advantage of the local multi-channel information collection and the low-power wireless transmission of WSN, the stable and low cost long-distance communication and data transmission ability of GPRS, the high-precision positioning technology of the DGPS positioning and the large-scale field information layer-management technology of GIS, such a hybrid technology combination is applied to the large-scale field information and intelligent management. In this study, wireless sensor network routing nodes are disposed in the sub-area of field. These nodes have GPS receiver modules and the electric control mechanism, and are relative positioned by GPS. They can real-time monitor the field information and control the equipment for the field application. When the GPS position information and other collected field information are measured, the information can be remotely transmitted to PC by GPRS. Then PC can upload the information to the GIS management software. All the field information can be classified into different layers in GIS and shown on the GIS map based on their GPS position. Moreover, we have developed remote control software based on GIS. It can send the control commands through GPRS to the nodes which have control modules; and then we can real-time manage and control the field application. In conclusion, the unattended automatic wireless intelligent technology for the field information collection and control can effectively utilize hardware resources, improve the field information intelligent management and reduce the information and intelligent cost.

Human activity and climate change significantly impact water quality, especially in Malang's watershed. This research aims to develop a web-based Geographic Information System (Web- GIS) for water quality monitoring in that watershed. The water quality data had been collected from Enviromental Office of Malang District and Malang City. Water quality in this application was determined using the STORET method, comparing water quality data to water quality standards according to Government regulation so that the water quality status at each monitoring point will be known. The total 57 monitoring points are visualized spatially in this application based on the sampling location plotted by Global Positioning System (GPS). The longitude and latitude coordinates of the monitoring location had been converted in GeoJSON using Quantum GIS (QGIS) software. Google Map API key was used to display a sampling location map on the website. Web-GIS application was tested functionally using a black box, compatibility, and usability testing. Based on the testing results, it worked correctly on Chrome, Edge, Mozilla, and Opera browsers for PC/Laptops and also for browsers on Android smartphones version 4 and above. The application could be appropriately used and efficiently based on usability testing results.

Full textAbstract:
Remote sensing data have been used to derive thematic information of various natural resources and environment.The type and level of information extracted depends on the expertise of the analyst and what he/she is looking for in the data.An application in remote sensing is the practical use to which a series of aerial satellite images are put. The application of remote sensing or earth observation techniques to atmospheric, Earth and environmental sciences can vary according to the final user's requirements.The utilization of remote sensing data can be broadly classified into three categories as a baseline data generator for a variety of environmental resources; as a tool to monitor change detection, Environmental monitoring, and for mapping purposes. Different environmental applications require different frequencies of information updates for monitoring to be effective. Environment phenomena such as weather systems, natural hazards, and other rarely extreme events such as tsunamis; pollution or oceanographic events are very dynamic and rapidly develop over minutes and hours. Therefore for satellite data to be useful in their analysis imaging frequency and data delivery has to be atleast several times a day. At present only low spatial resolution meteorological satellite data can meet this need. Other applications such as crop monitoring require better spatial detail but rates of change occur only over a matter of weeks and therefore image updates need not be more frequent than weekly or monthly. This data can be processed, refined, and managed with the use of advanced tools such as Geographic Information System(GIS) and Geographic Positioning System(GPS).

Geographic Information System (GIS) is an information system that performs geographic-based data visualization. The system performs mapping between various data points based on geographical location. Difficulties in mapping land in a region is the basis for the development of GIS applications for the detection of land. This system does not only detect vacant land in a region, but it also provides identification of land, and provides information about the size of the land, the land position, as well as access to nearby public facilities. The system is developed using a mobile platform as a value system that is more flexible and dynamic. For the analysis of the forecasting in an area uses a multiple regression method involving three independent variables, namely the use of dry land, the use of building land and land use. The results of the predictive forecasting provides location points of interest and public facilities located in the location which make it easy to give consideration in selecting a location which is appropriate to build.

Drinking water quality is a major problem in Pakistan, especially in the Abbottabad region of Pakistan. The main objective of this study was to use a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and integrated Geographic Information System (GIS)-based statistical model to estimate the spatial distribution of exceedance levels of groundwater quality parameters and related health risks for two union councils (Mirpur and Jhangi) located in Abbottabad, Pakistan. A field survey was conducted, and samples were collected from 41 sites to analyze the groundwater quality parameters. The data collection includes the data for 15 water quality parameters. The Global Positioning System (GPS) Essentials application was used to obtain the geographical coordinates of sampling locations in the study area. The GPS Essentials is an android-based GPS application commonly used for collection of geographic coordinates. After sampling, the laboratory analyses were performed to evaluate groundwater quality parameters. PCA was applied to the results, and the exceedance values were calculated by subtracting them from the World Health Organization (WHO) standard parameter values. The nine groundwater quality parameters such as Arsenic (As), Lead (Pb), Mercury (Hg), Cadmium (Cd), Iron (Fe), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), and Colony Forming Unit (CFU) exceeded the WHO threshold. The highly exceeded parameters, i.e., As, Pb, Hg, Cd, and CFU, were selected for GIS-based modeling. The Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) technique was used to model the exceedance values. The PCA produced five Principal Components (PCs) with a cumulative variance of 76%. PC-1 might be the indicator of health risks related to CFU, Hg, and Cd. PC-2 could be the sign of natural pollution. PC-3 might be the indicator of health risks due to As. PC-4 and PC-5 might be indicators of natural processes. GIS modeling revealed that As, Pb, Cd, CFU, and Hg exceeded levels 3, 4, and 5 in both union councils. Therefore, there could be greater risk for exposure to diseases such as cholera, typhoid, dysentery, hepatitis, giardiasis, cryptosporidiosis, and guinea worm infection. The combination of laboratory analysis with GIS and statistical techniques provided new dimensions of modeling research for analyzing groundwater and health risks.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIn the southeastern United States, Amaranthus, or pigweed species, have become troublesome weeds in agricultural systems. To implement management strategies for the control of these species, agriculturalists need information on areas affected by pigweeds. Geographic information systems (GIS) afford users the ability to evaluate agricultural issues at local, county, state, national, and global levels. Also, they allow users to combine different layers of geographic information to help them develop strategic plans to solve problems. Furthermore, there is a growing interest in testing free and open-source GIS software for weed surveys. In this study, the free and open-source software QGIS was used to develop a geographic information database showing the distribution of pigweeds at the county level in the southeastern United States. The maps focused on the following pigweeds: Palmer amaranth, redroot pigweed, and tall waterhemp. Cultivated areas and glyphosate-resistant (GR) pigweed data were added to the GIS database. Database queries were used to demonstrate applications of the GIS for precision agriculture applications at the county level, such as tallying the number of counties affected by the pigweeds, identifying counties reporting GR pigweed, and identifying cultivated areas located in counties with GR pigweeds. This research demonstrated that free and open-source software such as QGIS has strong potential as a decision support tool, with implications for precision weed management at the county scale.

Geographic information system is a location mapping information to find out the distance between one area to another. The system to be designed is implemented with computer software and hardware that is used for data verification, data storage, updating and changing data and analyzing data. The system will be designed to search for the location of the nearest school by applying GIS (Geographic Information System) and utilizing an Android smartphone. So far, this is still done manually by using maps in hard copy form or by asking other people directly. However, information about the location of the nearest school is very ineffective when asked to the nearest community. For this reason, it is necessary to have a system designed to find digital-based school locations. The application is designed using android studio and a database used by mysql to store information about schools. The application to be implemented must use an internet connection so that the GPS (Global Positioning System) can run properly.

Exploring the spatial distribution of intangible cultural heritage (ICH) by geographic information system (GIS) is a new perspective. It can help to identify the laws and characteristics of the formation and evolution of ICH to further support the development of protection. This paper takes Shaanxi Province as the research area to analyse and identify the spatial distribution characteristics by mathematical statistics using the nearest neighbour index (NNI) and kernel density estimation (KDE). The results show 1699 ICH items of Shaanxi distributed with obvious geographic characteristics: the geospatial distribution is not uniform; the aggregate spatial distribution pattern demonstrates that ICH has strong spatial dependence; all the high-density core areas and sub-high-density core areas are centralized around Guanzhong area; and the ICH items are relatively dense in specific geographical conditions (plain and mountainous areas with an elevation between 160 m and 800 m; plains and valleys at the confluence of rivers or areas within 10 km of the river; and semi-humid climate regions). We can conclude that the geographic environment is the most fundamental and important factor affecting ICH, indirectly affecting its generation, inheritance, and distribution through regional history, culture, and humanity for a long time.

The past 20 years have witnessed an explosive growth in the demand for geo-spatial data. This demand has numerous sources and takes many forms; however, the net effect is an ever-increasing thirst for data that is more accurate, has higher density, is produced more rapidly, and is acquired less expensively. For mapping and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) projects, this has been achieved through the major development of Mobile Mapping Systems (MMS). MMS integrate various navigation and remote sensing technologies which allow mapping from moving platforms (e.g. cars, airplanes, boats, etc.) to obtain the 3D coordinates of the points of interest. Such systems obtain accuracies that are suitable for all but the most demanding mapping and engineering applications. However, this accuracy doesn't come cheaply. As a consequence of the platform and navigation and mapping technologies used, even an "inexpensive" system costs well over 200 000 USD. Today's mobile phones are getting ever more sophisticated. Phone makers are determined to reduce the gap between computers and mobile phones. Smartphones, in addition to becoming status symbols, are increasingly being equipped with extended Global Positioning System (GPS) capabilities, Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) inertial sensors, extremely powerful computing power and very high resolution cameras. Using all of these components, smartphones have the potential to replace the traditional land MMS and portable GPS/GIS equipment. This paper introduces an innovative application of smartphones as a very low cost portable MMS for mapping and GIS applications.

In 1991, one of the most important pieces of legislation was signed into law. The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) requires traffic and systems management monitoring of pavement, bridges, safety, congestion, public transportation facilities, and intermodal facilities. These systems call for coordinated efforts to collect, manage, analyze, and store transportation-related data. GIS-T (geographic information system for transportation) is one of the tools that will be used extensively in upcoming years to manage the information requirements of ISTEA. GIS, coupled with an integrated server-client-based information system, will become the standard, replacing many existing stand-alone, subgroup level applications. A summary is provided that discusses the development of an integrated GIS-T system, Transportation Planning and Analysis Software (TPAS), developed for the Florida Department of Transportation. TPAS was developed to manage, calculate, and store roadway characteristics to estimate immediate and long-term infrastructure needs. The system calculates roadway level of service, identifies deficiencies, and recommends improvements to meet operating standards, and, finally, calculates costs of the proposed improvement. Deficient segments, as well as road improvements and costs, can then be displayed on GIS maps in an automated fashion. In the past, these calculations were completed by using spreadsheet and manual methods. TPAS combines all of these procedures and develops maps in a fraction of the time. TPAS seamlessly integrates an ArcView GIS application with a knowledge-based expert system programmed in Visual Basic. This application provides an efficient, cost-effective solution for a once tedious and time-consuming task.

The main objective of this research was to develop a web-based geographic information system (GIS) based on a detailed analysis of user preferences from the perspective of forest research, management and education. An anonymous questionnaire was used to elicit user preferences for a hardware platform and evaluations of web-mapping applications, geographic data, and GIS tools. Mobile GIS was used slightly more often than desktop GIS. Web-mapping applications that provide information to the public and the present research results were rated higher than the forest management application. Orthophotos for general purposes and thematic layers such as forest stand maps, soils, protected areas, cadastre, and forest roads were preferred over highly specialized layers. Tools for data searching, map printing, measuring, and drawing on digital maps were rated higher than tools for online map editing and geographic analysis. The analysis of user preferences was used to design a new multipurpose GIS portal for the University Forest Enterprise. The GIS portal was designed with a three-tier architecture on top of the software library for managing user access, working interactively with digital maps, and managing web map applications. The web map applications focus on tools and geographic information not available elsewhere, specifically timber harvest and logistics, research plots, and hunting game management.

The article deals with the features of soil-agrochemical inspection of the nursery area with the use of geoinformation technologies. The purpose of this work was to conduct a soil survey of arable sod-podzolic medium - or light-loamy soils of the territory of the forest nursery, as well as estimation of production area contamination with weeds. The peculiarity of this study was the fact that the process of collection, systematization and processing of all compiled information was focused on the use of modern geographic information systems. Survey points were chosen in coordination with the administration of the nursery and were precised according to the actual space images. Geographical reference of testing points was carried out using global positioning technologies (GPS, GLONASS) based on the NextGIS mobile application (Android OS). Photofixation of nursery fields was performed by means of geotagging technologies, which allow implementation of the obtained graphic information directly into the geographic information system (GIS). The soil samples collected in the field were analyzed in the soil laboratory in order to determine the main indicators of soil fertility. On the basis of the received data the cartograms were developed by means of GIS, which provide information on the main nutrients content in the soil of nursery fields as well as on the most important indicators characterizing the soil absorbing complex (soil acidity, degree of base saturation, etc.). The study of weed infestation allowed developing the thematic map representing the weeds propagation on the nursery fields. All collected information was combined into a comprehensive geographic information system developed on the basis of Quantum GIS shell. As a result, the developed GIS will contribute to operational monitoring of soil fertility and ensure informational support for agricultural machinery applied in the nursery for growing planting material.
