The last 25 years has been a period of rapid change in the approach to archaeological fieldwork in Britain and this has been reflected in the development of survey within the Royal Commission on the Ancient & Historical Monuments of Scotland (RCAHMS), the government financed body responsible for maintaining the national record of archaeology and architecture. The monolithic county-based inventory approach of RCAHMS' first 60 years has been replaced by a more broadly-based archaeological strategy founded on programmes of work that range from national overviews and regional surveys to individual site plans. Archaeological mapping has superseded monument planning as the key field objective, and all survey, whether terrestrial, aerial or desk-based, is underpinned by the RCAHMS Geographical Information System (GIs). The radical changes in field data-capture have been mirrored by parallel developments in making that data accessible once it has been collected.

Judged by the amount of space devoted to the subject in the Journal of the Institute, Unemployment Insurance has received but little attention from actuaries in the past Public interest in the problem of relieving distress due to unemployment became pronounced in the early years of the present century and led to the appointment in 1904 of a Royal Commission on the Poor Laws and, eventually, to the passing in 1911 of the first Unemployment Insurance Act. These important events found a somewhat pallid reflection in our proceedings in the form of reprints of extracts from Sir H. Llewellyn Smith's address on Insurance against Unemployment to the British Association in 1910 (J.I.A., vol. xliv, p. 511) and of Mr. Ackland's report on Part II of the National Insurance Bill (J.I.A., vol. xlv, p. 456). At a later date, when the scope of the national scheme was very greatly widened, the Government Actuary's report on the relevant measure—the Unemployment Insurance Bill 1919—was reprinted in the Journal (J.I.A., vol. lii, page 72).

ABSTRACT Indonesia is a major player in the world's oil and gas development. Much of the oil and gas exported from Indonesia is produced in the coastal and offshore areas. Protection and management of coastal resources are therefore high priorities for the government of Indonesia. Given the high priority of protecting the coast, an integrated oil spill management system has been developed for the East Kalimantan area of Indonesia. The system is comprised of a Geographical Information System (GIS) for management and interpretation of marine, coastal, and oil production/transportation data integrated with an oil spill trajectory model.

Dispute Resolution Mechanism

In the past year, the Government of Canada has established the Indian Residential Schools (IRS) Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) to address the deleterious effect that the IRS system has had on Aboriginal communities. This paper argues that the TRC as an alternative dispute resolution mechanism is flawed since it focuses too much on truth at the expense of reconciliation. While the proliferation of historical truths is of great importance, without mapping a path to reconciliation, the Canadian public will simply learn about the mistakes of the past without addressing the residual, communal impacts of the IRS system that continue to linger. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission must therefore approach its mandate broadly and in a manner reminiscent of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples of 1996.

Model nilai tanah merupakan model untuk menaksir nilai tanah berdasarkan faktor-faktor yang dikenal pasti dapat mempengaruhi nilai tanah. Secara umum ada empat (4) kumpulan faktor yang mempengaruhi nilai tanah iaitu struktur, kejiranan, lokasi dan masa. Sebahagian besar daripada faktor ini memerlukan data ruangan yang dahulunya sukar dijana kerana kekurangan alatan yang sesuai. Perkembangan dalam sistem maklumat geografi (GIS) membolehkan berbagai-bagai jenis analisis ruangan yang diperlukan seperti pengkelasan semula, penindanan, pengukuran jarak dan kehampiran, kejiranan, rangkaian dan permukaan dapat dilakukan dengan lebih mudah. Kajian ini cuba membentuk satu model nilai tanah dengan memfokuskan kepada faktor struktur. Sebanyak empat pemboleh ubah struktur lot tanah diambil kira iaitu keluasan, lebar hadapan, indeks landskap (bentuk lot) dan arah orientasi. Kaedah statistik yang digunakan adalah analisis regresi terhadap sampel 148 transaksi lot tanah. Daripada analisis hanya dua pemboleh ubah iaitu luas dan bentuk lot signifikan pada tahap 0.05 dan berjaya menerangkan sebanyak 74% daripada variasi nilai tanah. Kata kunci: nilai tanah; GIS; faktor struktur A model of land value is a model to estimate land value based on factors identified to influence land value. Generally, there are four groups of factors that influence land value i.e. structural, neighborhood, location and time. Most of these factors need spatial data that were difficult to generate in the past due to the lack of appropriate tools. The recent development in Geographical Information System (GIS) enables the various spatial analysis such as reclassification, overlay, distance measurement and proximity, neighborhood, network and surface analysis to be a carried out with ease. This study attempts to develop a land value model with a particular focus on structural factors. Four structural factors were considered in the model namely size, width of frontage, landscape index (shape of lot) and orientation. The model was developed using multiple regression analysis based on a sample of 148 lots of land transaction. From the analysis, only two variables i.e. size and landscape index were statistically significant at 0.05 level and successfully explained 74% of the variation in land value. Key words: land value; GIS; structural factor

Abstract Hour-al-Azim marsh is one of the most significant wetlands of the Mesopotamia watershed. In the past few years, severe environmental and hydrological stress have caused the loss of a large part of its area and its bed has become the largest focal point of haze in the southwestern of Iran. Determining delineation is one of the most important and necessary measures to protect a wetland's ecosystem and, in this study, delineation was determined using the USACE-R-G method. This method is a combination of ecological and hydrological criteria with a Remote Sensing and Geographical Information System. The results showed that under the first scenario the marsh is about 3,279 km2 which about 882 square kilometers constitute free-water surface and its average depth is 2.4 meters. In the second scenario, these numbers were estimated to be 1,619 km2 with an average depth of 2.7 meters. Moreover, the area of the haze focus is about 1,659 km2. As well as this, under these conditions the amount of water required to submerge the marsh is 7.9 in the first scenario and 4.4 billion cubic meters in the second one.

Small Scale Farmer

To properly monitor the grain storage facilities, small scale farmer land parcels and track crops grown in the land parcels, we propose an information system that uses GIS technologies. The proposed module would assist in improving food security by providing a real-time record of stock levels in the various strategic grain reserves. It would also help the Government through Farmer Input Support Program (FISP) adequately target small scale farmers of the poorest households by displaying their land parcels. Knowing where farmers are located is vital information for the planning process.

In December 2000 we published ‘Time Please’, a retrospective of archaeological transformation in England, by Geoffrey Wainwright, the former Chief Archaeologist of English Heritage. He reviewed the enormous changes over the last 30–40 years from his perspective at the heart of the ‘Heritage’ establishment.We have received three comments from fellow professionals which offer some alternative recollections of events, priorities and changes. Philip Rahtz, Emeritus Professor of Archaeology at York and a founder of Rescue, comments on that area, and the emergence of state archaeology in the early years. Peter Fowler, formerly Secretary to the Royal Commission on Historical Monuments (England) and Emeritus Professor of Archaeology at Newcastle, comments too on Rescue, and particularly on the role of academic archaeology, including that of Extra-Mural, as one of the principal promoters of public interest and action in archaeology. David Baker (formerly County Archaeologist for Bedfordshire and Chair of ACAO) & Richard Morris (formerly Chair of the Council for British Archaeology) add their views to the debate with a candid discussion of PPG-16 and the business of planning and archaeology. Predictably, there are many perspectives on the route that archaeology, as a means to mitigate damage to the heritage, and to provide a record of the past, has taken over its years of increasingly high-profile professional and business activity.

Tourism Potential

Tanah Laut is one of the mainstays of the tourist sector in South Kalimantan. Tanah Laut Regency has tourism potential, one of which is religious tourism. Religious tourism is a tourist activity to get fun or entertainment, also will get lessons about Islamic teachings and increase knowledge. The government of Tanah Laut regency conducting tourism promotions still through mass media such as newspapers and pamphlet methods is not enough to support tourist attractions for tourists. And there is no specific information system on religious tourism and besides that in the Tourism Office the data on religious tourism in several sub-districts in the regency of the sea are still not yet complete or complete in the data collection of religious tourism spots. The purpose of the research is to make a design and a Geographic Tourism Information System that can display a picture and provide detailed information on the location of religious tourism in several sub-districts in Tanah Laut district. Information in the form of a web mobile is expected to help the community to access it anywhere and anytime. In geographical information systems, religious tourism is built using the Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) and JavaScript programming languages.

The government through the Ministry of Education and Culture issued a regulation on the admission of new students as stipulated in the Minister of Education Regulation Number 51 of 2018 to apply the zoning system. The regulation emphasizes that schools are required to give priority to prospective students who are in the domicile of the closest radius to the location of the school. To facilitate relevant agencies and the public in getting the closest school information in a zone, it is necessary to create an information system that can present information related to the existence or location of the school. One of the systems designed to solve and work with spatially referenced data or geographic coordinates is the Geographic Information System (GIS). Geographical Information Systems have the ability to perform data processing and freeze certain operations by displaying maps and able to analyze data properly. Research carried out applies the haversine formula in the search for the location of the closest school. To build digital maps using Google Maps, and developed with mobile services. The Google Maps API presents the programming functions provided by Google Maps for integration in the web or the application that is being created. While information about school data is presented and integrated in the goegraphic application.
