Use of Geographic Information System and Direct Survey Methods to Detect Spatial Distribution of Wild Olive (Olea cuspidataWall.) from High Mountain Forests of Northwestern Nepal

Van den Bosch fortress is located in Ngawi East Java Indonesia. The fortress’ unique location in the riverbanks of two main rivers of Java island, i.e. Bengawan Solo river and Madiun river, boosts its potentilas as a cultural tourist attraction. The meeting point between these two big rivers has given the fortress opportunities to develop unique tourism package. This study examined the potentials of the fortress, problems for developing the fortress, and the interconnection of spatial distribution of the fortress by employing geographic information system (GIS) to develop spatial-based management of the fortress as an intergrated cultural tourism site. Spatial-based management of the historical resource is aimed at combining and enhancing the urban elements including town square, traditional market, fortress, and rivers as well as some supporting facilities; and it is expected to be able to make Van den Bosch fortress as the center of the attractions. All of the elements of the urban area need to be spatially planned and managed in order to perform a unique tourist attraction in the most enticing historical destination of the region. Keywords: cultural tourism, fortress, historical asset, spatial-based management.

The number of was determine by points in South Denpasar, amount of waste each day, number of existing population, perceptions and preferences of the people of South Denpasar. The analysis of landfill location was run by using a geographic information system (GIS). This research uses survey methods and data collection with an active approach of activities carried out on the site. The results of the analysis showed that there were 11 landfills recommendations.
