Application of GIS technologies for engineering geodynamic zoning of mountain territories

The lack in practise of applying special engineering-tectonic studies in the course of standard engineering surveys does not allow us to fully take into account the features of engineering-geological conditions of mountainous territories.In the work for the section of the Black Sea coast from Gelendzhik to Tuapse, which is part of the Afipsko-Defanovskaya orographic stage, a detailed study of discontinuous structures was carried out using cartographic constructions. The use of the GIS technology tool made it possible to carry out an overlay analysis of maps of morphometric indicators, as well as to draw up a diagram of tectonic blocks. The results showed good convergence with the data obtained earlier on a smaller scale. This provided the basis for zoning the territory according to the degree of favorability of engineering and tectonic conditions with the involvement of morphometric and tectonic features. The study of this territory was conducted for the first time and contributes to the clarification of its neotectonic structure, expanding the scope of application of structural and geomorphological methods based on GIS technologies in engineering and geological research.

Application of gis technologies to build spatial predictors for mapping forest ecosystem functions at the local level

The article presents the experience of using GIS technologies to prepare spatial predictors for their further use in modeling and mapping the dynamics of forest ecosystem functions. The study was conducted on the territory of the Dankovsky district forestry, which is located in the south of the Moscow region. GIS analysis of spatial data containing information about the relief and the hydrographic network of the study area was performed. As a result, morphometric values describing the surface runoff and altitude zonality of the study area have been created. The article describes GIS tools that can be used to create thematic geospatial products: slope exposure, steepness and curvature; direction, distance and length of the flow line, total flow; average altitude above sea level and distance to the river. In addition, the boundaries of river catchment basins have been identified by using GIS analysis, within which it is also planned to model climate-regulating forest functions associated with the carbon cycle.

Landscape assessment of forest trail using geotagged visitor employed photography: the case of the inariyama trail in the Takao Quasi-National Park, Tokyo

ABSTRACT An evidence-based understanding of visitors’ landscape preferences is important for holistic forest planning and management. In this study, a visual landscape assessment was conducted to 1) determine the locations and recreational value of scenic hotspots (popular locations) and 2) identify the landscape types that visitors most preferred along the Inariyama Trail in the Takao Quasi-National Park in Tokyo by using geotagged visitor employed photography and asking the 60 participants to score their photographs based on five assessment measures. Nine hundred geotagged photographs were collected, and the subsequent hotspot analysis was conducted using a combination of Getis-Ord Gi* statistics in GIS. Analysis of means (ANOM) and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were performed to determine what and how visitors preferred landscapes in the site. The main findings of this study were as follows: 1) seven hotspots, comprising prominent landscape features and spatial changes, were identified, and 2) Prospect and Look-up were the most highly valued landscape types. These results reveal the importance of Look-up views, which have thus far been underrepresented in landscape assessments, and that hotspots are influenced by landscape features as well as spatial changes. Therefore, through the application of GIS technology, this study lays a foundation for future research as well as the planning and management of forested landscapes that harmonize recreation and other uses.

Application of GIS in Agriculture in Promoting Evidence-Informed Decision Making for Improving Agriculture Sustainability: A Systematic Review

The objective of this review was to synthesize existing evidence on GIS and RS application in agriculture in enhancing evidence-informed policy and practice for improving agriculture sustainability and identifying obstacles to their application, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Systematic searches were conducted in the databases SCOPUS, Web of Science, Bielefeld Academic Search Engine, COnnecting REpositories (CORE), and Google Scholar. We identified 2113 articles published between 2010–2021, out of which 40 articles met the inclusion criteria. The results show that GIS technology application in agriculture has gained prominence in the last decade, with 66% of selected papers being published in the last six years. The main GIS application areas identified included: crop yield estimation, soil fertility assessment, cropping patterns monitoring, drought assessment, pest and crop disease detection and management, precision agriculture, and fertilizer and weed management. GIS technology has the potential to enhance agriculture sustainability through integrating the spatial dimension of agriculture into agriculture policies. In addition, GIS potential in promoting evidenced informed decision making is growing. There is, however, a big gap in GIS application in sub-Saharan Africa, with only one paper originating from this region. With the growing threat of climate change to agriculture and food security, there is an increased need for the integration of GIS in policy and decision making in improving agriculture sustainability.

Retraction Note: Design of green city landscape based on GIS system

In recent years, the concept of green development has begun to penetrate into all levels of society. With the deepening of urbanization, the development of landscape architecture in cities has stopped. How to develop green garden in the environment of deepening urbanization has become an urgent problem. The development of urban landscape architecture has changed in the new period. In the new period, the urban landscape industry should be combined with urban development closely by using advanced science and technology on the basis of fully understanding the urban development situation and forming a dynamic system. Urban garden protection and construction is a comprehensive project, which needs to be planned and maintained by integrating knowledge of various disciplines. This process is very complex. The application of digital technology simplifies the complex steps in the process and reduces people’s brain and material consumption. This paper explores the new methods of landscape design and construction from the new technology of landscape design GIS. Before applying GIS technology, we should first build database, including the construction of application layer, analysis of the requirements of database construction, testing the performance of data information carrier, finding out relevant strategies and methods, and designing and implementing the database. In order to better manage the modern urban landscape architecture and plan a more reasonable path for the development of urban gardens, we should make full use of the power of science and technology and combine the development level of society to build a green urban garden ecosystem.

Application of GIS-technologies to visualize the results of monitoring the snow cover of an industrial city

Snow cover monitoring is a part of the environmental monitoring system, the pollution of which is a reflection of the degree of anthropogenic impact in view of the fact that the snow cover is an effective accumulator of aerosol pollutants falling out of the atmospheric air. Carrying out a complete study of atmospheric air, scientific assessment of the dynamics of the state of urban air and computer modeling is not possible without analysis and statistical processing of the data obtained using special software. This article is an example of the use of GIS technologies in order to visualize and interpret the results obtained in the analysis of the snow cover of an industrial city (in case of the Sterlitamak city), in particular, the Kriging method used makes it possible to obtain representative schematic maps of urban pollution.

Research on the application of GIS technology in the preparation of village planning--Take Feng Sheng Village as an example

Hubei Province is gradually carrying out the preparation of five levels and three types of territorial spatial planning, to scientifically layout construction space, agricultural space and ecological space, and strengthen the guiding and constraining role of territorial spatial planning for all planning. At the same time, in order to promote the construction of beautiful countryside and rural revitalization, the preparation of village planning in Hubei Province is also in progress; according to the five levels and three categories of territorial spatial planning, village planning belongs to the township-level detailed planning category, and the conventional village planning can no longer meet the requirements of territorial spatial planning, so the ecological space, agricultural space and construction space in village planning should be adjusted and whitened with the help of GIS technology. Therefore, the GIS technology should be used for landuse adjustment, white space delineation, spatial control and comprehensive improvement of the national land space.

МЕДИКО-ГЕОГРАФИЧЕСКИЕ ФАКТОРЫ ЗДОРОВЬЯ НАСЕЛЕНИЯ СЕВЕРНОЙ ОСЕТИИ

Introduction. Medico-geographical researches are now becoming particularly relevant, since geographic methods with their inherent complexity, diversity, vision of the territory, the identification of medical geographic factors and the application of cartographic methods can explain the basis of those processes and phenomena that occur on the territory of our country and its regions in terms of the morbidity of the population and find ways to optimize the health system. Methods. Medical geography studies the impact of natural, socio-economic and environmental factors on the health of the population, examines the geography of the spread of diseases and identifies the territorial organization of health. Particular attention is paid to the complexity of research; The identification of interaction, mutual development and mutual influence of geographic factors affecting the health of the population in a particular region, as well as the application of GIS technologies and cartographic methods. Results (discussion). The natural conditions of North Os-setia (excluding the highlands) are generally favorable for the population living. Their diversity (despite the limited territory) leads to significant differences in the level and structure of the population morbidity. Within the republic there are five medical-geographical zones, each of which has its own natural-focal diseases. So, for example, rabies, echinococcosis, trichinosis, intestinal infection, leptospirosis, tularemia are characteristic for the steppe zone (the north of the republic); For the forest zone – ascaridosis, endemic goiter, dental caries, echinococcosis, rabies, trichinosis, leptospirosis. Congenital dislocation of the hip is common in the mountainous zone. And girls get this disease five times more often than boys. In addition, almost all of the republic is characterized by a shortage of fluoride, iodine and some other elements. Conclusions. The study of the geographical factors of the morbidity of the population is of great practical importance since it allows developing measures aimed at preventing many diseases.
