Abstract:

This paper presents a case study of how one academic library provides services and support for the Geographic Information System (GIS) needs of students and faculty. The case study involves an American university library that has provided GIS services to meet the needs of students and faculty while lacking the formal position of a dedicated GIS Librarian. The library’s variety of GIS-related support is described in the paper, and an overview of resources for librarians to develop their GIS skills is also shared. The paper offers insights and lessons learned about the level of services that can be offered by academic libraries in GIS-related research and training for students, faculty, and staff.

Abstract:

Background. Gastrointestinal symptoms (GIS) in people with Parkinson’s disease (PwP) are often underreported and may remain untreated. Constipation is a common nonmotor symptom that can adversely affect health-related quality of life (QoL); however, the impact of other GIS has not been adequately investigated. Objectives. To investigate the relationship between QoL and constipation using the Bristol Stool Chart, bowel movement frequency, and a perceived constipation measure; and to explore the relationship between QoL and other GIS in an Australian PD cohort. Methods. The impact of constipation and other GIS on QoL, as measured using the PDQ-39 scale, was assessed in a cohort of 144 (89 males, 55 females) clinic-attending PwP. Constipation was assessed using the Bristol Stool Chart as well as a composite constipation measure, and the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS) was used to rate other GIS. Covariate corrected linear regression models were utilised to determine significant associations between GIS and QoL scores. Results. Individual and combined constipation measures were significantly associated with poorer QoL ( p = 0.032 and p = 0.002 , respectively). Analysis of GSRS symptom domains showed that in addition to symptoms of gastrointestinal hypomotility, a number of other symptoms such as increased eructation and increased flatus were also associated with poorer QoL. Conclusions. The findings point to the importance of GIS as contributor to health-related QoL in PwP. A better understanding of the relationship between GIS and QoL will help facilitate the development of more effective screening and treatment programs to improve symptom management and QoL for PwP.

Abstract:

In this study, geographic information system (GIS)-based methods and applications utilized for mine development were reviewed. Three types of GIS-based studies, namely studies on mine planning, operation, and environmental management, were examined to describe the role of GIS as a decision-making support tool in mine development. This review was conducted by classifying previous GIS-based studies into several subtopics that pertain to mine development activities and the range of environments to be managed. Because the use of GIS is appropriate for spatial data management related to ore deposits and mine environment conditions at various scales, the applications of GIS-based methods in mine development could be expanded further.

Abstract:

The inherently spatial nature of transportation-related air quality analysis makes the geographic information system (GIS) particularly well suited to enhancing microscale air quality analysis. GIS provides several features ideal for the type of analysis necessary to determine transportation-related air quality impacts. It is an excellent storage, manipulation, modeling, and mapping tool for spatial data. Spatial information such as street coordinates and accompanying attributes can be exported and manipulated as input to air quality models such as CALINE3 and CAL3QHC. Output from air quality models in the form of pollution concentrations at specified receptor locations can be input to GIS for hot-spot identification, estimation of contributions of off-road mobile sources, and impact analysis. GIS tools applied to air quality analysis include contour generation, classification, thematic analysis, point-in-polygon analysis, and polygon overlay. Several case studies demonstrating these capabilities using TRANSCAD, a transportation-based GIS package, are presented for microscale air quality analysis. Incompatibilities exist between current air quality models and most GIS. Differences in coordinate systems and distance metrics necessitate additional manipulation of data transferred between models and GIS. Other incompatibilities are that street segments are represented as centerlines in most planning applications of GIS and as a series of links in CAL3QHC and CALINE3, and that signalization parameters are represented differently from many common signal-analysis packages, which may necessitate additional data collection.

Abstract. Successful land information management is an important issue for governments in regards to sustainable development. Reliable and comprehensive data about land and all related factors are essential for effective land policies. Various land related legal applications such as planning, taxation, property management, mortgage, and real estate investments require interoperable, extensive and realistic information about the land and real property. GIS provides greater insight into land by its capability to advance geographic analysis in different aspects. The statistical analysis capabilities of GIS increase the efficiency and accuracy of the evaluations related to land and real estate. Along with the developments of information and communication technologies, modern GIS technologies can handle large and complex data. Web-based and mobile GIS technologies provide the capability of operating and sharing local data and provide geographic analysis tools to users via the web. In this way, various mobile GIS applications can be developed in many different application areas. In this study, a mobile application titled as Smart Real Estate was developed for presenting urban real estate characteristics in different thematic groups by analysing data in different formats coming from different sources.

Abstract:

Background With the emergence of antiretroviral therapy (ART), Treatment as Prevention (TasP) has become the cornerstone of both HIV clinical care and HIV prevention. However, despite the efficacy of treatment-based programs and policies, structural barriers to ART initiation, adherence and viral suppression have the potential to reduce TasP effectiveness. These barriers have been studied using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). While previous reviews have examined the use of GIS for HIV testing – an essential antecedent to clinical care – to date, no reviews have summarised the research with respect to other ART-related outcomes. Methods: Therefore, the present review leveraged the PubMed database to identify studies that leveraged GIS to examine the barriers to ART initiation, adherence and viral suppression, with the overall goal of understanding how GIS has been used (and might continue to be used) to better study TasP outcomes. Joanna Briggs Institute criteria were used for the critical appraisal of included studies. Results: In total, 33 relevant studies were identified, excluding those not utilising explicit GIS methodology or not examining TasP-related outcomes. Conclusions: Findings highlight geospatial variation in ART success and inequitable distribution of HIV care in racially segregated, economically disadvantaged, and, by some accounts, increasingly rural areas – particularly in the United States. Furthermore, this review highlights the utility and current limitations of using GIS to monitor health outcomes related to ART and the need for careful planning of resources with respect to the geospatial movement and location of people living with HIV (PLWH).

Abstract:

"Geographic information system (GIS) collects various kinds of data based on the geographic relationship across space." Data in GIS is stored to visualize, analyze, and interpret geographic data to learn about an area, an ongoing project, site planning, business, health economics and health-related surveys and information. GIS has evolved from ancient disease maps to 3D digital maps and continues to grow even today. The visual-spatial mapping of the data has given us an insight into different diseases ranging from diarrhea, pneumonia to non-communicable diseases like diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, or risk factors like obesity, being overweight, etc. All in a while, this information has highlighted health-related issues and knowledge about these in a contemporary manner worldwide. Researchers, scientists, and administrators use GIS for research project planning, execution, and disease management. Cases of diseases in a specific area or region, the number of hospitals, roads, waterways, and health catchment areas are examples of spatially referenced data that can be captured and easily presented using GIS. Currently, we are facing an epidemic of non-communicable diseases, and a powerful tool like GIS can be used efficiently in such a situation. GIS can provide a powerful and robust framework for effectively monitoring and identifying the leading cause behind such diseases. GIS, which provides a spatial viewpoint regarding the disease spectrum, pattern, and distribution, is of particular importance in this area and helps better understand disease transmission dynamics and spatial determinants. The use of GIS in public health will be a practical approach for surveillance, monitoring, planning, optimization, and service delivery of health resources to the people at large. The GIS platform can link environmental and spatial information with the disease itself, which makes it an asset in disease control progression all over the globe.

Abstract:

SUMMARYThe uptake and acceptance of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology has increased since the early 1990s and public health applications are rapidly expanding. In this paper, we summarize the common uses of GIS technology in the public health sector, emphasizing applications related to mapping and understanding of parasitic diseases. We also present some of the success stories, and discuss the challenges that still prevent a full scope application of GIS technology in the public health context. Geographical analysis has allowed researchers to interlink health, population and environmental data, thus enabling them to evaluate and quantify relationships between health-related variables and environmental risk factors at different geographical scales. The ability to access, share and utilize satellite and remote-sensing data has made possible even wider understanding of disease processes and of their links to the environment, an important consideration in the study of parasitic diseases. For example, disease prevention and control strategies resulting from investigations conducted in a GIS environment have been applied in many areas, particularly in Africa. However, there remain several challenges to a more widespread use of GIS technology, such as: limited access to GIS infrastructure, inadequate technical and analytical skills, and uneven data availability. Opportunities exist for international collaboration to address these limitations through knowledge sharing and governance.

Abstract:

Background: Geographic information science (GIS) has established itself as a distinct domain and incredibly useful whenever the research is related to geography, space, and other spatio-temporal dimensions. However, the scientific landscape on the integration of GIS in COVID-related studies is largely unknown. In this systematic review, we assessed the current evidence on the implementation of GIS and other geospatial tools in the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: We systematically retrieved and reviewed 79 research articles that either directly used GIS or other geospatial tools as part of their analysis. We grouped the identified papers under six broader thematic groups based on the objectives and research questions of the study- environmental, socio-economic, and cultural, public health, spatial transmission, computer-aided modeling, and data mining. Results: The interdisciplinary nature of how geographic and spatial analysis was used in COVID-19 research was notable among the reviewed papers. Although GIS has substantial potential in planning to slow down the spread, surveillance, contact tracing, and identify the trends and hotspots of breakdowns, it was not employed as much as it could have been. This review not only provided an overarching view on how GIS has been used in COVID-19 research so far but also concluded that this geospatial analysis and technologies could be used in future public health emergencies along with statistical and other socio-economic modeling techniques. Our systematic review also provides how both scientific communities and policymakers could leverage GIS to extract useful information to make an informed decision in the future. Conclusions: Despite the limited applications of GIS in identifying the nature and spatio-temporal pattern of this raging pandemic, there are opportunities to utilize these techniques in handling the pandemic. The use of spatial analysis and GIS could significantly improve how we understand the pandemic as well as address the underserviced demographic groups and communities.

Abstract:

The accurate detection of genomic islands (GIs) in microbial genomes is important for both evolutionary study and medical research, because GIs may promote genome evolution and contain genes involved in pathogenesis. Various computational methods have been developed to predict GIs over the years. However, most of them cannot make full use of GI-associated features to achieve desirable performance. Additionally, many methods cannot be directly applied to newly sequenced genomes. We develop a new method called GI-Cluster, which provides an effective way to integrate multiple GI-related features via consensus clustering. GI-Cluster does not require training datasets or existing genome annotations, but it can still achieve comparable or better performance than supervised learning methods in comprehensive evaluations. Moreover, GI-Cluster is widely applicable, either to complete and incomplete genomes or to initial GI predictions from other programs. GI-Cluster also provides plots to visualize the distribution of predicted GIs and related features. GI-Cluster is available at https://github.com/icelu/GI_Cluster.

Abstract:

1. Extracellular single neuron activity was recorded in the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) of awake, behaving monkeys, with particular regard to the feeding-related functional characteristics of glucose-sensitive (GS) versus glucose-insensitive (GIS) neurons. Firing rate changes were recorded by means of carbon fiber, multibarreled glass microelectrodes during 1) microelectrophoretic application of various chemicals, 2) gustatory and olfactory stimulation, and 3) a high fixed-ratio schedule (FR) bar press feeding task. 2. In 336 neurons examined, 91 (27%) were suppressed by electrophoretically administered glucose, and so they were designated as GS cells. The 245 neurons (73%) in which the firing rates did not change during glucose applications were pronounced GIS. The 179 GS and GIS cells tested exhibited different responses to the catecholamines (CAs), noradrenaline (NA) and dopamine (DA), both of which are intimately involved in the control of feeding. More GS neurons responded to NA than did GIS cells; the predominant effect of both CAs on GS neurons was inhibition. 3. The taste responsiveness of 111 LHA neurons was examined. Fifty-seven cells (52%) showed responses to gustatory stimulation. Of 50 GS neurons tested, 33 (66%) exhibited firing rate changes to tastes. On the contrary, only 24 (39%) of the 61 GIS neurons examined responded to gustatory stimuli. Activity changes of GS neurons commonly occurred to two or more tastants, in distinction to the relative gustatory specificity shown by GIS cells. 4. Two hundred fifty-six (84%) of the 303 neurons tested responded during one or more phases of the bar press feeding task. Most activity changes occurred during the bar press (BP) and reward (RW) periods, however numerous phasic responses to cue light (CL) and cue tone (CT) were also observed. A higher proportion of the GS neurons showed task-related activity changes than did the GIS cells (77, 95% and 179, 81%, respectively). GS neurons responded more during the BP phase and to the food reward; GIS cells were more responsive during the CL that enabled acquisition and the CT that signaled reward. Thus GS neurons were responsive during the acquisition and consumption of reward, whereas GIS cells responded to external cues signaling both of these events. The gustatory neurons displayed specific task-related activity changes only in the CL (GIS cells) and BP phases (GS neurons), that is, in phases most intimately involved in sensory-motor integration. 5. Two-thirds of the 30 GS neurons tested were responsive to both gustatory and olfactory stimulation as opposed to only one-third of GIS cells.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

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.

Abstract:

The rapid development of Geographic Information System (GIS) and Global Position System (GPS) has attracted the attention of both business practitioners and academic researchers. GIS and GPS technologies, through providing optimized schedules, routings, and guidance, are especially important and helpful in transportation and logistics businesses. Though GIS and GPS technologies have been witnessed in many business sectors in developed countries, wide application of these technologies is still in its preliminary phase in companies in developing nations. In this paper, the authors present a study on the application of an integrated intelligent system that consists of GIS, GPS and related technologies to optimize logistic distribution of perishable products in urban environments. Through investigating GIS and GPS usage in a medium-sized logistics company in the unique settings of emerging economies, this paper addresses how these technologies enhance the management of businesses and analyze the interaction of GIS/GPS implementation and several key characteristics of the logistic distribution context by identifying major benefits, challenges, and limitations associated with the use of GIS and GPS.

Abstract:

Geographic information systems (GISs) have been presented as a powerful analysing tool for civil engineers to help their decision-making processes. Building GIS platforms for transportation analysis involving multiple jurisdictions has been challenging, however, because of the complexity and difficulty associated with conducting data sharing and ensuring spatial data interoperability among GISs for transportation (GIS-T) data sets. In the context of western Canadian urban and rural areas, this paper investigates the issues related to GIS-T data sharing, establishes a conceptual framework, develops techniques supporting the framework by solving recurring data-sharing problems, and constructs a number of GIS-T platforms facilitating comprehensive multijurisdictional transportation analyses. In addition, based on the knowledge gained through solving real-world problems, the authors propose an open GIS-T platform consisting of a series of customized base maps, each being tailored to suit the needs of individual application and, as a whole, linked together by interoperability to better support transportation applications.Key words: transportation engineering analysis, GIS, GIS-T, spatial data, interoperability, integration, data sharing.

Abstract:

Eleven genomic islands (GIs) flanked by isocitrate dehydrogenase genes are determined in Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica. These GIs have at least one mobile gene, such as integrase gene, transposase gene or recombinase gene. Through annotation of internal genes, these GIs are related to lambda prophage. The excisionase gene is associated with the mobile gene in some GIs. An ABC transporter, namely, sitABCD operon, is existed in some GIs and may uptake Fe2+ and Mn2+. Mn2+ is a second cofactor and an essential activator of the isocitrate dehydrogenase. The cleavage site of functional lambda integrase is 5’-TGCTGCGCCA-3’ in direct repeats at 3’-end of icd gene.The truncated lambda integrases (ECP_1132 and ECP_1135) are inactive because the transposon inserted the integrase gene by 5’-CCTGG-3’. This Fe2+/Mn2+ transport operon is predicted that is a recent product of horizontal gene transfer in E. coli because this operon is also existed in S. enterica and is not in a mobile GIs.

Abstract:

Background: Geographic information science (GIS) has established itself as a distinct domain and incredibly useful whenever the research is related to geography, space, and other spatio-temporal dimensions. However, the scientific landscape on the integration of GIS in COVID-related studies is largely unknown. In this systematic review, we assessed the current evidence on the implementation of GIS and other geospatial tools in the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: We systematically retrieved and reviewed 79 research articles that either directly used GIS or other geospatial tools as part of their analysis. We grouped the identified papers under six broader thematic groups based on the objectives and research questions of the study- environmental, socio-economic, and cultural, public health, spatial transmission, computer-aided modeling, and data mining. Results: The interdisciplinary nature of how geographic and spatial analysis was used in COVID-19 research was notable among the reviewed papers. Geospatial techniques, especially WebGIS, have even been widely used to visualize the data on a map and were critical to informing the public regarding the spread of the virus, especially during the early days of the pandemic. This review not only provided an overarching view on how GIS has been used in COVID-19 research so far but also concluded that geospatial analysis and technologies could be used in future public health emergencies along with statistical and other socio-economic modeling techniques. Our review also highlighted how scientific communities and policymakers could leverage GIS to extract useful information to make an informed decision in the future. Conclusions: Despite the limited applications of GIS in identifying the nature and spatio-temporal pattern of this raging pandemic, there are opportunities to utilize these techniques in handling the pandemic. The use of spatial analysis and GIS could significantly improve how we understand the pandemic as well as address the underserviced demographic groups and communities.

Abstract:

Floods and landslides, which cause significant loss of human life and economic loss, are the most reported catastrophic events worldwide. The Geographical Information System (GIS) has been recognized as one of the most effective tools in disaster related analysis. Therefore, this article uses GIS to review the development of landslide and flood research for the past 20 years. The main elements in this review are to scrutinize the trend and scope of studies related to disaster mapping around the globe. Amongst the criteria reviewed are; details of the study area, articles that received many citations, journals with high Impact Factor scores, scope breakdown based on single and multi-hazard analysis and the theme of the study. The methodology used in this Systematic Literature Review is based on the PRISMA guidelines. Results from the review found that studies related to disaster mapping are increasing every year. This trend is influenced by data availability, efforts to produce better disaster management, frequent disaster occurrences due to climate change and evolution of GIS to analyse spatial data. Nevertheless, articles related to multi-hazard analysis are still limited, and this study suggests conducting and publishing more studies related to multi-hazard assessment in the future. This review also shows that GIS has been used widely for various types of application in disaster analysis. Articles on disaster risk assessment have been the most common. This review will help other researchers in the field of disaster management to better understand the current trend of studies related to disaster mapping.

Abstract:

The protection of geographical indications (GIs) has, over the years, emerged as one of the most contentious intellectual property right issues in the realm of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on Trade–Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs). The hierarchical nature of protection for GIs under TRIPs fails to provide full protection for GIs other than those designating wines and spirits. Aware of this inadequacy, India, along with other like–minded countries, has been pressing for the “extension” of the higher level of protection, currently granted only to GIs of wines and spirits, to all GIs. However, the issue has reached a stalemate at the WTO for quite some time now. Against this backdrop, this article provides a cogent account of a range of issues in the context of GI protection, with a particular focus on India.

Abstract:

In this study, geographic information system (GIS)-based methods and their applications in solar power system planning and design were reviewed. Three types of GIS-based studies, including those on solar radiation mapping, site evaluation, and potential assessment, were considered to elucidate the role of GISs as problem-solving tools in relation to photovoltaic and concentrated solar power systems for the conversion of solar energy into electricity. The review was performed by classifying previous GIS-based studies into several subtopics according to the complexity of the employed GIS-based methods, the type of solar power conversion technology, or the scale of the study area. Because GISs are appropriate for handling geospatial data related to solar resource and site suitability conditions on various scales, the applications of GIS-based methods in solar power system planning and design could be expanded further.

Abstract:

The social and economic harm to North Korea caused by water-related disasters is increasing with the increase in the disasters worldwide. Despite the improvement of inter-Korean relations in recent years, the issue of water-related disasters, which can directly affect the lives of people, has not been discussed. With consideration of inter-Korean relations, a government-wide technical plan should be established to reduce the damage caused by water-related disasters. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify remote sensing and GIS techniques that could be useful in reducing the damage caused by water-related disasters while considering inter-Korean relations and the disasters that occur in North Korea. To this end, based on the definitions of disasters in South and North Korea, water-related disasters that occurred during a 17-year period from 2001 to 2017 in North Korea were first summarized and reclassified into six types: typhoons, downpours, floods, landslides, heavy snowfalls, and droughts. In addition, remote sensing- and GIS-based techniques in South Korea that could be applied to water-related disasters in North Korea were investigated and reclassified according to applicability to the six disaster types. The results showed that remote sensing and other monitoring techniques using spatial information, GIS-based database construction, and integrated water-related disaster management have high priorities. Especially, the use of radar images, such as C band images, has proven essential. Moreover, case studies were analyzed within remote sensing- and GIS-based techniques that could be applicable to the water-related disasters that occur frequently in North Korea. Water disaster satellites with high-resolution C band synthetic aperture radar are scheduled to be launched by South Korea. These results provide basic data to support techniques and establish countermeasures to reduce the damage from water-related disasters in North Korea in the medium to long term.

Abstract:

Background: Neighborhood attributes are increasingly recognized as factors shaping mental health in adults. Geographic information systems (GIS) offer an innovative approach for quantifying neighborhood attributes and studying their influence on mental health outcomes. Our aim was to describe GIS applications used in neighborhood-related mental health research and how neighborhood attributes are related to depressive symptoms or psychological distress in community-residing adults. Methods: We conducted a systematic review of studies published in English that included GIS techniques and a validated questionnaire of depressive symptoms or psychological distress. Medline, PsycInfo, Embase, Scopus, CINAHL, GEOBASE, and Compedex were searched to June 2020. Study quality was assessed by a modification of the Joanna Briggs Institute’s Checklist for Analytical Cross-sectional Studies. Results: Thirty-two studies met the inclusion criteria. Studies varied in definitions of neighborhood and GIS-derived measurements of neighborhood attributes. Neighborhood attributes were significantly associated with mental health outcomes, although findings were not consistent. Moderating factors (e.g., gender, living conditions) significantly influenced depressive symptoms or psychological distress. Conclusion: Neighborhood attributes are important factors influencing mental health in adults. Consensus may be needed on how to standardize the neighborhood unit or GIS-derived measures of neighborhoods in order to explain depression or psychological distress in diverse adult populations.

Abstract:

In our study, we tried to collect empirical studies focusing on the economic impact of Geographical Indications (GIs). Using a systematic literature review approach, we investigated three different aspects: market size, price premium and impacts on rural development. Based on the findings of studies both from the grey and academic literature, the results are quite mixed. Though the number of GI-related empirical studies has risen in recent years, there is a lack of economic data to support policies related to GIs, even in the European Union (EU), where the most important GI system exists. Overall, it is impossible to draw any general conclusions about the economic impact of GIs. Some countries have remarkable GI market size, and some GI products have a determinative role in both domestic and export markets; however, it is not general. Again, some particular GI products of some regions could gain significant price premiums, but due to the associated higher production costs and unequal distribution in the value chain, it might not result in higher producer incomes. The most conflicting empirical results were found in how GIs can contribute to regional prosperity, as evidences of the harmful effects of GIs on rural development were also identified.

Abstract – An examination of shoreline retreat is conducted over the muddy coast in the vicinities of the port of Belawan. The related sea level rise is estimated using the well-known Bruun Rule based on the characteristics of mud profile prevalent along the eastern coast of North Sumatera Province. The spatial analysis involved is done utilizing the concept and procedure of GIS. The averaged shoreline retreat over the hot spot area of erosion, i.e. 18 m per year, implies that the relative rate of sea level rise is in the range of 14 to 18 mm per year, indicating an extremely severe rate. In addition, three other cases of simple GIS applications related to coastal water of the port are spatially demonstrated. Keywords – coastal water, coastal erosion, sea level rise, and GIS

Abstract:

A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a digital technology that integrates hardware and software to analyze, store, and map spatial data. GIS allows users to visualize (i.e., map) geographic aspects of data including locations or spatial concentrations of phenomena of interest. Though public health and other social work related fields have embraced the use of GIS technology in research, social work lags behind. Recent technological advancements in the field of GIS have transformed what was once prohibitively expensive, “experts only” desktop software into a viable method for researchers with little prior GIS knowledge. Further, humanist and participatory geographers have developed critical, non-quantitative GIS approaches that bring to light new opportunities relevant to social workers. These tools could have particular utility for qualitative social workers because they can help us better understand the environmental context in which our clients reside and give credence to their assessments of strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for intervention. This article provides an introductory overview of the history of GIS in social work research and describes opportunities to use spatially informed approaches in qualitative social work research using a case study of a participatory photo mapping research study.

AbstractGeographical Information System (GIS) is a computer-based system that can perform analysis for various datasets in relation to specific geographical locations and has been widely applied in agriculture. So far, GIS has been used in relatively few studies related to honey bees and beekeeping, but this article aims to review those previously performed and to present trends to apply GIS in beekeeping and then to help and guide researchers to perform more studies utilizing it. GIS can clearly be utilized to select suitable locations for apiaries, to map bee plants, to study bee behavior, diseases and pests, and to predict the effects of climate change on honey bees beside other benefits for beekeeping. Many obstacles and problems facing beekeeping can be mapped and analyzed using GIS, and other techniques can be used with it to perform the required tasks as presented in this review.

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.
