Abstract Bali is one of the areas vulnerable to disasters because of its geographical position, which is flanked by two earthquake sources in the form of a subduction zone and back-arc thrust zone, which can cause a tsunami in Bali region. This research aims to identify and map the level of coastal vulnerability to the tsunami in Buleleng Regency, Bali Province. The mapping was carried out using Geographic Information System (GIS). This study used secondary data and field data. The parameters used in analyzing the level of tsunami vulnerability were land elevation, slope, landuse, distance from the beach, and distance from the river. The level of vulnerability was grouped into five classes, namely very safe (35,466.9 ha), safe (70,485.0 ha), moderately vulnerable (17,645.0 ha), vulnerable (6,903.3 ha), and very vulnerable (438.9 ha) located in the Districts of Gerokgak, Seririt, Buleleng, and Sawan which are close to the river.

AbstractField data of ice thickness, velocity and accumulation of the ice plain region of Ice Stream B, Antarctica, are organized into a geographic information system (GIS) and used to calculate the spatial pattern of net mass balance. Overall, the ice plain is thickening at a rate of 0.13 ± 0.05 m a−1. Large uncertainties of the high-resolution calculations are reduced by spatial averaging, revealing a number of areas significantly out of balance. Ice in the broad diverging flow field is mostly thinning but a thinner region of the ice plain which includes ice raft “a” is thickening. Thickening is also indicated farther downstream on the ice plain, matching the thickening already calculated to be occurring upstream of Crary Ice Rise. The patterns of net mass balance for the two major tributaries of Ice Stream Β are asymmetric, demonstrating a real difference in the current dynamics of these two tributaries.

Abstract Background Under-reporting, delayed diagnosis, incomplete treatment and inadequate vector management are few among many factors responsible for uninterrupted transmission of malaria in India. Information technology (IT) and mobile apps can be utilized effectively to overcome these hurdles. Indigenously developed digital handheld geographic information system (GIS)-tagged Android-based tablets (TABs) has been designed especially for implementation of digitization protocol. This has changed the effectiveness of malaria surveillance and intervention strategies in a malaria endemic area of Mangaluru city, Karnataka, India. Methods A software was developed and implemented for control measures to create a digital database of each malaria case. Secondary data analyses were carried out to determine and compare differences in malariometric indices between pre- and post-digitization years. With the introduction of this software active surveillance, information education and communication (IEC), and anti-vector measures were made ‘incidence-centric’. This means that the entire control measures were carried out in the houses where the malaria cases (index cases) were reported and also in surrounding houses. Results Annual blood examination rate (ABER) increased from 13.82 to 32.8%. Prompt reporting of new cases had improved (36% within 24 h and 80% within 72 h). Complete treatment and parasite clearance time were documented in 98% of cases. In the second post-digitization year untraceable cases reduced from 11.3 to 2.7%; contact blood smears collection also increased significantly (p < 0.001); Slide Positivity Rate (SPR) decreased from 15.5 to 10.48%; malaria cases reduced by 30%. Conclusions IT is very useful in translation of digitized surveillance to core interventions thereby effectively reduce incidence of malaria. This technology can be used effectively to translate smart surveillance to core interventions following the ‘1-3-7-14’ strategy.

Technology has helped many people in providing information to meet their needs. The development of information technology in the field of geography, information can be displayed better and faster through computers, one of which is a geographic information system for mapping the closest boarding house of Universitas Bumigora. The ease of obtaining boarding information is one of the demands in the city of Mataram, especially for migrants, for example students and students, especially STMIK students, Bumigora Mataram, who need temporary shelter. In finding a boarding house, it is sometimes difficult to find the closest boarding house and facilities that fit your needs because you do not know the area, so some boarders have to ask boarding information to the surrounding community or by circling the city which drains energy and costs. Based on these problems, a geographic information system is needed to map the closest boarding house from Universitas Bumigora using the Location Based Service (LBS) method, which is an application to facilitate boarders in finding temporary accommodation without having to search directly to the location. LBS is used to find the geographical position or position of a person through the website. In addition to finding the user's position, LBS can also determine the position of certain places, one of which is a boarding house. LBS is used to lock the search center point of a boarding house, namely Universitas Bumigora and change units to kilometers.

Given the landslide hazards in Gayo Lues Regency are scattered in all sub-districts with various characteristics that influence them, and various parameters that make the vulnerability of landslides increasingly high, and have an impact on the socio-economic and spatial pattern of the district. The research objective is to identify and map the characteristics of landslides, the level of vulnerability. The data of this study are primary and secondary data at the landslide point. The results showed that the dominant type of landslide occurred was the flow of ragged material, rotation and translation with a cause analysis in the form of trigger factors and controllers and the occurrence of landslide repetition in several areas with the result of identifying the characteristics of the threat of landslides.

Tulungagung Regency has a history of experiencing floods, which damaged infrastructure and claimed lives in Tulungagung Regency due to the lack of facilities, knowledge and initial handling of flood disasters to be one of the contributing factors. This study uses primary data and secondary data in the form of slope data, soil type and rainfall. The results of the analysis obtained the level of flood vulnerability in the Tulungagung district area resulting in three levels of classes, namely vulnerability is very vulnerable, vulnerable, and not vulnerable. Making the system using ArcMap PHP web programming and using the MySQL database offline. To process map data used GIS tools (geographic information system), namely the spatial analysis tool of flood hazard level with a visual mapping model. The results of this study are expected to be useful in providing information on flood-prone areas in Tulungagung Regency and it is hoped that the Tulungagung Regency government and the private sector will routinely conduct disaster socialization, especially for communities in flood-prone areas.

<div><div><p class="Els-history-head">Drug abuse is a problem that affects almost every country in the world including Indonesia. In the long term, it has the potential to disrupt competitiveness, weaken national resilience, and can hinder the progress of a nation. North Sumatra is a province that has the highest prevalence of drug abusers in Indonesia,  which none of the villages in this Province is free from drug abuse. The North Sumatera Province also has the highest number of drug abusers undergoing rehabilitation at the BNN Rehabilitation Center. The use of geospatial technology can help understand the phenomenon of drug abuse by area or spatial. One of the geospatial technology that commonly uses is the Geographic Information System (GIS). This study aims to show that GIS can be used in mapping drug-prone areas in North Sumatra based on North Sumatran people undergoing drug rehabilitation. The method used is a retrospective based on secondary data and spatial statistics in GIS. The environment prone to drug abuse based on the number of people undergoing drug rehabilitation at the BNN Rehabilitation Center from North Sumatra is divided into 3 zones based on the number of clients distributed in BNN Rehabilitation Center, namely red, yellow and green. Red zone 3 cities/districts namely Deli Serdang, Medan, and Binjai with 9 sub-districts namely Percut Sei Tuan, Medan Amplas, Medan Helvetia, Medan Tembung, Medan Perjuangan, Binjai Utara, Medan Sunggal, Medan Johor, Medan Timur. The yellow area has 25 districts, the green area is 103 districts. In a conclusion, the Geographic Information System (GIS) is a technology that can be used to map drug-prone areas.</p></div></div>
