Design and Implementation of Greening Management System Based on GIS

Greening is an indispensable part of the process of urbanization. In the process of social progress and scientific and technological development, the demand for urban greening management is growing, and the difficulty is also improving. The traditional greening management method is cumbersome and the data is not accurate enough to meet the management needs of the current era. Therefore, informatization has gradually become the mainstream of greening management. Under this background, this system starts from the two core modules of plant irrigation and daily maintenance in traditional greening management, expands and extends the functions of the system, and finally completes the greening management system based on GIS design and development through field investigation of the greening management on campus and demand analysis combined with this situation. The system mainly has five functional modules: regional management, water volume monitoring, problem reporting, task processing and information summary. The users of the greening management system can query the information and attributes of the greening area, monitor the irrigation water volume, deal with the problems occurred in the greening area, and view the staff's work progress and records on the PC side. At the same time, the system has also been developed on the mobile terminal, which improves the efficiency of greening management.

Electromagnetic compatibility in various kinds of substations in Croatian transmission networks and mitigation measures

In the last two decades have been studied the conditions of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in different kind of substations in transmission networks of Croatia. Investigations have been done by measuring method using special measuring technique and also by computing simulations. In this paper will be shown conditions of EMC which have been studied by measuring method during normal or fault switching operations of disconnectors and circuit breakers. Conditions of EMC with particular stress on transient voltages in secondary circuits within various kind of transmission network objects have been carefully studied (AIS, GIS, old and new substation design type, rated voltages from 110 kV to 400 kV). In the paper will be given the review of some main data from those investigations made in the long period of time. Then main findings will be given and the differences in EMC conditions will be shown taking into account various parameters such as: design details of substations (distances, cable types, protective measures etc.). Also, it will be given a review of measuring methods and tools (oscilloscopes with low and deep acquisition memory, statistical tools for data processing, etc.). Generally, it was shown that overvoltatges in secondary equipment follows normal or Gaussian statistical distribution from which some typical data have been taken, such as 98% - probability values etc. Consequently, different kind of the mitigation measures have been proposed in cases of high overvoltages in secondary circuits. Typically, changes in earthing systems, in cable sheets connections etc. have been proposed to utilities. All proposed measures have been tested by measuring methods too and the effects have been very satisfactory in ensuring EMC conditions within substations. Some most interesting ways in reducing high level of TEVR in GIS substations will be shown in pictures. Given results and effects of mitigation measures in Croatian transmission network substations clearly show that the best method is experimental investigation which usually was followed by some necessary mitigation measures which ensure the conditions of EMC within substations according to international standards and recommendations.

An Urban Design Engineering Management Model Based on Data Analysis and Landscape Urbanism

The error brought by space syntax in modeling computation and auxiliary analysis decision-making process has not been fully studied. In response to this phenomenon, this paper introduces two typical examples of digital visualization, 2D and 3D maps obtained using GIS and computer-aided design techniques, to design a multiflow system with elements interacting. By looking at flow models represented by traffic and walking, we consider how new real-time social media can be used to represent small-scale interactions at the spatial and social network levels. Watch how real-time data is sent to designers through various forms of dashboard by choosing the optimal radius, moderate model expansion range, with the aid of multisource urban data, choosing the appropriate fineness and modeling software.

Applying an integrated Remote Sensing-GIS approach in the documentation of handicraft centers at New Valley Governorate, Egypt

The intangible cultural heritage is considered part of the identity and history of any country as well as it plays a vital role in economics. Traditional craftsmanship is perhaps the most tangible manifestation of intangible cultural heritage. Egypt's heritage in handicrafts is rich, unique and diversified, all stemming from its long history. The handicraft centers are available in all the governorates of Egypt. However, the management of the handicraft sector faces many problems, including the lack of: databases; coded products; and adequate marketing policy. This study presents the design and management of Remote Sensing, GIS and GPS applications to establish a geographic database for the handicrafts centers in the New Valley Governorate, Egypt. Also, it will link those centers with the archaeological heritage of the governorate. This study also presents a website's development to display all the collected data to be available to the public and help in the marketing process.

Features of GIS design, designed to monitor the state of disturbed lands at open mining facilities, natural and climatic conditions in the mining area, are considered in order to inform the adoption of administrative and management decisions. The introduction of such systems will make it possible to carry out operational environmental monitoring of lands subject to technological violations, reduce the time for preparing reporting and technical documentation when designing and conducting measures aimed at land reclamation, make decisions on the technology and timing of reclamation of subsoil use facilities, and also reduce the time for making such decisions.

VecLI: A framework for calculating vector landscape indices considering landscape fragmentation

Currently, raster-based landscape indices (LIs) that measures the landscape pattern of raster-format land-use data, can be easily computed by relevant software (e.g., Fragstats). Unfortunately, open-access software for vector-based LIs often implement a small variety of metrics, which cannot meet the growing demand of the GIS and landscape design research. The common approach often results in a loss of accuracy. Hence, this paper presents the state-of-the-art VecLI framework for computing 217 vector-based LIs. A parcel merging algorithm is proposed to address the impact of landscape fragmentation on vector-based LIs by considering the neighborhood effect. A case study was conduct in Shunde, China. The result shows that 80% of the LIs from VecLI are strongly correlated to Fragstats's LIs. The patch perimeter-related metrics from VecLI portray a more realistic geographical pattern compared to those from Fragstats. Moreover, the VecLI-based software is developed for use by the GIS and landscape design researchers.

Research on the Colors of Military Symbols in Digital Situation Maps Based on Event-Related Potential Technology

Under the trend of increasingly informationalized military operations and the increasing maneuverability of combat units, military commanders have put forward higher requirements for the accuracy and promptness of information on battlefield situation maps. Based on the sea battlefield, this paper studies the pros and cons of the color matching of military symbols on sea situation maps. Fifteen colors, where each Hue had five colors, were chosen using the Munsell Color System according to Chroma axis and the Value axis on a span of 2 and 4. By collecting and analyzing the P300 EEG data, reaction time data, and accuracy data of 20 subjects, a better color matching selection of military symbols on pure color (L = 85, a = −10, and b = −23) sea situation maps is put forward, and the conclusions are as follows: (1) the different colors all cause the P300 component in EEG experiment. Among them, the P300 amplitude that is caused by military symbols with lower Chroma is smaller and the latency is shorter, indicating that the user experience and efficiency of low Chroma color symbols will be better than those with high Chroma color symbols. (2) High Value color map military symbols cause higher P300 amplitude and longer latency. According to the results above, this paper puts forward three optimized colors, namely, blue (L = 39, a = 20, and b = −49), green (L = 80, a = −72, and b = 72), and red (L = 20, a = 41, and b = 28). Additionally, three map interfaces were designed to confirm the validity of these colors. By means of applying the NASA-TLX (Task Load Index) scale to evaluate the task load of the confirmation interfaces, it can be concluded that these three optimized colors are preferred by users who are skilled in GIS and interface design. Therefore, the research conclusion of this paper can provide important reference values for military map design, which is helpful in shortening the identification and judgment time during the use of situation maps and it can improve users’ operation performance.

Northern Appalachian Land Cover

This map was created using a combination of GIS, photo editing, and graphic design software after an inspiring road trip through the area. It shows the wide diversity of land cover across the region, and a key weak point in the Appalachian Mountains, known as “The Gaps of the Allegheny,” which allowed European immigrants to move toward fertile land deposited by millions of years of erosion. The reader can see that there is very little unused space in the region. Nearly every non-urban inch of land has been occupied for agricultural purposes, down to the thinnest sliver valleys. This map was meant to highlight one of the planet’s more unique topographic landscapes, and perhaps inspire others to experience the area.

Parametric (Geo)Design for Test Planning

The revised Swiss Spatial Planning Act (RPG 2016) pursues the goal of inward settlement development to slow down urban sprawl and better protect arable land. This needs to be addressed in planning processes, as quality-oriented and sustainable internal densification is required. The Geodesign Framework by Steinitz is suitable for supporting such planning processes with public participation, where models and visualizations help to convey the complex systemic interrelationships to stakeholders. This paper presents a process model based on Geodesign that integrates GIS and Parametric Design, so that effects on internal densification caused by changes to building regulations can be quantified and communicated. In addition to an overview of the process model, selected results from its tests and verification are presented. The results suggest that the model approximates real interrelations well and is a suitable basis for further work.

Design of a Generic Mobile GIS for Professional Users

There are multiple location-based services (LBSs) and mobile GIS available for a wide range of applications. Usually such applications are developed to solve a restricted task within a restricted environment. The focus on a particular task is strong, and therefore, such applications can usually not be used in multiple environments. To overcome this issue, this paper presents a concept of a generic professional mobile GIS with a focus on interoperability. Firstly, common issues of mobile applications are presented, and their impact on the development of mobile GIS is analyzed. Subsequently, a new approach for a generic mobile GIS for professional users is presented. Based on multiple OGC standards, the approach leads to a system that can be used in various applications where the quality of surveyed data and analysis capabilities are improved. To prove the strength of the approach with GeoTechMobile, a prototype is presented and evaluated in a case study.

Ungating the city: A permeability perspective

China is seeking to prohibit the construction of any new gated communities and to gradually open existing schemes after three decades of growth of large-block gated estates. In this article, we use permeability analysis to explore the ‘what if?’ question posed by the policy: what if gated communities became permeable? We ask the question in respect of non-motorised access. We use two permeability metrics, closeness and betweenness, as outcome measures of gated and non-gated versions of the city. We construct a bespoke complete pedestrian network, rather than using the road network, for our permeability modelling. Nanchang, a medium-sized Chinese city with widespread gated communities, is our study area. A series of permeability analyses with and without gated communities is conducted using GIS and spatial design network analysis (sDNA). On the basis of these analyses, we sequentially sort the gated compounds whose opening will maximise permeability gains with minimum expropriation of property rights through coercive ungating. We offer the analysis to urban scholars, planners and governments by way of a quantified simulation. This study and methodology, which is transferable without high data requirements, can assist urban practitioners in reconfiguring urban form to promote a healthier living environment (more walking) and more economically viable local service centres (greater pedestrian footfall concentrations).

Reclaiming Geospatial Data and GIS Design for Indigenous-led Telecommunications Policy Advocacy: A Process Discussion of Mapping Broadband Availability in Remote and Northern Regions of Canada

Abstract Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and geospatial data are important advocacy tools adopted by a range of users, including telecommunications policy advocates. However, without the means to actively deconstruct and reshape such platforms, reclaim the geospatial data they utilize, and generate the visualizations they produce, the increasing adoption of these resources threatens to disempower some community-based user groups. In this article, we argue that the processes used to design such tools for policy advocacy must transparently reflect the socially constructed nature of the GIS systems and the geospatial data visualizations they generate, as well as the values and goals of the specific user groups they are designed to support. We ground this argument in a case study of a regulatory hearing on telecommunications infrastructure and services in Canada, and introduce a freely available online resource that documents our GIS design workflow in more detail.

CARACTERIZAÇÃO SEDIMENTAR DO CANAL DO ESTUÁRIO DO RIO COREAÚ, ESTADO DO CEARÁ, BRASIL

O objetivo deste trabalho foi caracterizar a sedimentação longitudinal do estuário do Rio Coreaú, utilizando-se para isso metodologia cruzada de geoprocessamento e elaboração do Diagrama de Pejrup, para inferir o regime hidrodinâmico e sua repercussão na distribuição das facies sedimentares. Ficou evidente a ocorrência de um alto nível de hidrodinâmica devida à presença de sedimentos mais grossos em sua foz, e de moderado e alto níveis ao longo do curso do rio, dependendo de uma combinação entre variação sedimentar e seu fluxo. Apresentou um padrão sedimentológico de estuário misto, nos quais os processos sedimentares na desembocadura são governados predominantemente pelas ondas e no interior do estuário pelas marés e ações antropogênicas. A sedimentação de origem marinha foi verificada a uma distância de 28 km da foz. O Diagrama de Pejrup demonstrou ser uma boa ferramenta de análise da sedimentação para estuários tropicais com influência da semi-aridez.
