The availability of new mobile devices (tablets and smartphones) equipped with many sensors is changing or, better, enriching the way we monitor and sense the world that surrounds us. The internet has permeated completely not only our scientific and technological development, but also our life. Only some years ago, we used geospatial data and GIS software installed within our computers. Nowadays, data and operators are provided via the net by means of distributed and shared geo-services and a simple and powerless mobile device is enough to connect them. The possibility of interaction has become not only faster and more user friendly but also active, being individuals and communities free of adding, deleting, and changing contents in real time in the new GeoWeb2.0.

ABSTRACT California's oil spill cooperatives joined forces to prepare a regional resource manual. The manual provided cooperative members detailed information on sensitive marine resources, response strategies, spill envelopes, response resources, navigation hazards, and other topics for incorporation into individual facility or vessel response plans being prepared for compliance with the stringent requirements of California's Oil Spill Prevention and Response Act. Detailed maps of sensitive resources, response strategies, and spill envelopes were prepared using a geographic information system (GIS) for ease of presentation and revision. Maps were supported by detailed tables on the facing page, producing a maximally user-friendly document.

AbstractInterest in the past decades in the way spatial cognition manifests in language has led to a growing body of literature on the topic. The concurrent development of user-friendly geographic information systems (GIS) software can give linguists new perspectives on spatial language, especially narratives describing geographic landscapes, by allowing the researcher access to those landscapes in a way that was previously only available by visiting the region in person. In this paper, I discuss how the use of GIS reveals that Ahtna speakers use subtle distinctions in the directional system to structure discourse about overland travel into narrative episodes. Ahtna is an Athabascan language spoken in the Copper River area of southcentral Alaska by about 35 native speakers.

Different types of site selection exploited by geographic information systems (GIS) by combining various types of data relate to the purpose of site selection. In reality, numerous factors including physical, environmental, and social factors affect the site selection in terms of deciding the location of a new industry. Accordingly, this paper conceives systems for determining new industrial zones in the form of web-based applications or ordinarily called web-based GIS. Thus, the application named the potential industrial zone smart systems, in which the prototype of the application is able to facilitate planning the determination of new industrial zone based on six parameters throughout the analytical hierarchy process method. The result weights of six criteria are soil type 35%, land use 32%, land slope 15%, the distance of land to river 9%, the distance of land from road and accessibility 5%, and the distance of land to public facilities 4%. Additionally, the web-based GIS is a user-friendly application to determine the planned industrial location. Further, the demonstration runs effortlessly in exhibiting data on the potential of new industrial zones in the city of Bekasi, West Java Province of Indonesia.

Operasional sektor perkebunan di Indonesia sebagian besar masih mengandalkan sistem konvensional yang menggunakan tenaga manusia untuk melakukan kontrol ke lapangan. Dengan kondisi tersebut, masih sulit jika ingin melakukan peningkatan kinerja operasional menjadi lebih efisien, efektif, dan produktif. Ditambah lagi, kondisi pandemi yang tengah dihadapi saat ini secara tidak langsung sangat berdampak dan berpotensi menurunkan angka produktivitas. Sistem operasional ataupun pengelolaan lahan perkebunan harus mengalami perubahan. Pemanfaatan teknologi dan inovasi sangat dibutuhkan untuk membantu mempertahankan ataupun meningkatkan kualitas dan kuantitas hasil produksi. Oleh sebab itu, dibutuhkan suatu rancangan sistem informasi berbasis website, yang bekerja menyampaikan informasi kondisi geografis suatu area secara real-time sebagai solusi dari permasalahan pemantauan kondisi geografis. Sistem informasi tersebut bekerja menggunakan informasi berupa data spasial (bereferensi geografis) yang dikenal dengan Sistem Informasi Geografis atau Geographic Information System (GIS).Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk  membangun GIS berbasis web guna memberikan informasi dan menggambarkan kondisi (normal, rawan, kritis) pada suatu area/lahan secara real-time. Metode penelitian ini terdiri dari lima tahapan, yaitu persiapan penelitian (studi literatur), pengkajian objek (observasi, analisis kebutuhan sistem), perancangan dan pembangunan GIS dan integrasi dengan IoT, analisis dan pengujian penerapan GIS, serta penarikan kesimpulan. Sistem informasi geografis yang dibuat adalah dengan menampilkan peta (maps) area yang dipantau. Perangkat lunak yang digunakan untuk menampilkan maps adalah Google Maps Platform yang mana pada platform tersebut terdapat interface yang disebut API (Application Programming Interface). Google Maps API digunakan untuk menghubungkan sistem informasi geografis yang berbasis website dengan google maps. GIS memberikan informasi dan menggambarkan kondisi geografis suatu area secara real-time, kondisi area yang normal ditandai dengan warna hijau, kondisi antara (rawan kritis) ditandai dengan warna kuning serta kondisi area yang kritis ditandai dengan warna merah. Dengan adanya sistem informasi geografis, maka membantu para pekerja lapangan dalam memantau kondisi geografis suatu area secara real-time tanpa harus berada langsung di lokasi. Berdasarkan hasil penilaian pengguna, sebagian besar menyatakan “sangat setuju” bahwa GIS ini bermanfaat, bersifat user-friendly, mudah diakses kapanpun dan di manapun, serta memiliki kecepatan akses yang baik. Selain itu, sebagian besar juga menyatakan “setuju” bahwa GIS mampu menampilkan informasi yang akurat dan dapat membantu pekerjaan.

Recent progress in computer technology enables the calculation of lens fields and focal properties on commonly available computers such as IBM ATs. If we add to this the use of graphics, we greatly increase the applicability of design programs for electron lenses. Most programs for field computation are based on the finite element method (FEM). They are written in Fortran 77, so that they are easily transferred from PCs to larger machines.The design process has recently been made significantly more user friendly by adding input programs written in Turbo Pascal, which allows a flexible implementation of computer graphics. The input programs have not only menu driven input and modification of numerical data, but also graphics editing of the data. The input programs create files which are subsequently read by the Fortran programs. From the main menu of our magnetic lens design program, further options are chosen by using function keys or numbers. Some options (lens initialization and setting, fine mesh, current densities, etc.) open other menus where computation parameters can be set or numerical data can be entered with the help of a simple line editor. The "draw lens" option enables graphical editing of the mesh - see fig. I. The geometry of the electron lens is specified in terms of coordinates and indices of a coarse quadrilateral mesh. In this mesh, the fine mesh with smoothly changing step size is calculated by an automeshing procedure. The options shown in fig. 1 allow modification of the number of coarse mesh lines, change of coordinates of mesh points or lines, and specification of lens parts. Interactive and graphical modification of the fine mesh can be called from the fine mesh menu. Finally, the lens computation can be called. Our FEM program allows up to 8000 mesh points on an AT computer. Another menu allows the display of computed results stored in output files and graphical display of axial flux density, flux density in magnetic parts, and the flux lines in magnetic lenses - see fig. 2. A series of several lens excitations with user specified or default magnetization curves can be calculated and displayed in one session.
