Abstract. In recent year, 3D geographic information system (GIS) has been receiving great attention from a variety of domains, but many 3D GIS applications are nevertheless restricted to visualization purposes only. One major reason for such limitation is the lack of formalized and comprehensive mechanism for the management and analysis of feature-based 3D geographic data. From a 3D GIS perspective, this study proposes a web-based system facilitating the simulation, analysis and visualization of disaster caused by tsunami and floods because these two types of hazard are highly related to the height and depth aspects. The core of the proposed system is the hierarchical 3D building framework capable of modelling different levels of building units and linking domain data via standardized identifiers in an integrated fashion. The system is designed as a decision support system that allows users to import real or simulated disaster scenarios and automatically response with the visualized damage assessment information. The 3D illustration not only provides a direct and intuitive interface for decision makers to visually inspect the outcomes at different levels of granularity, the symbology of 3D buildings can be also flexibly customized to highlight the impacts according to the perspective of the chosen applications. Quantitative vulnerability indexes are dynamically updated according to the timeline of the imported disasters to aid the decision of emergency response actions. The evacuation plan also can additionally consider the 3D aspects, such that citizens will be provided with information about nearby safe places (e.g., tall buildings or high hills) to reduce the loss of lives.

Geographic Information System (GIS) is a tool used for capture, storage, manipulation, query and presentation of spatial data that have applicability in diverse fields. Web GIS has put GIS on Web, that made it available to common public which was earlier used by few elite users. In the present paper, development of Web GIS frameworks has been explained that provide the requisite knowledge for creating Web based GIS applications. Open Source Software (OSS) have been used to develop two Web GIS frameworks. In first Web GIS framework, WAMP server, ALOV, Quantum GIS and MySQL have been used while in second Web GIS framework, Apache Tomcat server, GeoServer, Quantum GIS, PostgreSQL and PostGIS have been used. These two Web GIS frameworks have been critically compared to bring out the suitability of each for a particular application as well as their performance. This will assist users in selecting the most suitable one for a particular Web GIS application.

This chapter describes a prototype Web geographic information system (GIS) and spatial model application for mapping person crime rates in Brisbane, Australia. Our application, which integrates GIS functionality, a clustering model, client/server technology and the Internet, can generate useful documents such as maps and tables to examine and present crime patterns in space and time. Our chapter also demonstrates the usefulness and appeal of the Web GIS application as an information dissemination and spatial data analysis tool for promoting public awareness of social conditions. This chapter argues that Web-based data access is a better approach to delivering large volumes of crime data and geographical information to the public. We expect that police, community workers and citizens could utilize the application and associated maps to facilitate and enhance crime prevention activities. We note, however, that further development of Web-based GIS applications need to answer a number of pertinent questions regarding system maintenance, data integrity and neighborhood crime prevention.

Internet GIS provides a collaborative communication environment for sharing data, information, and knowledge. Mobile GIS can add both geospatial information and global positional systems (GPS) coordinates from remotely located field-based personnel to spatial decision support systems (SDSS). By adopting broadband wireless telecommunication technology for connecting Internet GIS and mobile GIS devices, decision makers can gather near real-time information from field personnel and, equally quickly, distribute updated information back to the field. This chapter introduces a collaborative GIS prototype that demonstrates an interoperable framework for combining Web-based GIS technologies and wireless mobile GIS applications. The integrated framework provides real-time or near real-time GIS data update functions (such as adding new spatially located map features or GPS tracking locations) between mobile GIS devices and Internet GIS servers. Although these real-time GIS functions can be very important during time-urgent emergencies, they can be equally beneficial and highly cost effective during routine field activities.

AbstrakDalam meningkatkan prestasi dan kualitas sepakbola Indonesia dibutuhkan pembinaan pemain sepakbola dari mulai usia muda. Pembinaan yang baik maka akan memiliki fisik, mental serta taktik permainan yang baik pula. Pembinaan ini dapat dilakukan pada sekolah sepakbola di tiap-tiap daerah. Dalam hal pembinaan pemain sepakbola Kota Malang memiliki 29 sekolah sepakbola yang tersebar di tiap-tiap kecamatan, akan tetapi dari jumlah sekolah sepakbola tersebut hanya  beberapa yang diketahui oleh masyarakat secara umum. Sistem informasi geografis mampu mengatasi permasalahan tersebut dengan cara melakukan pencarian persebaran sekolah sepakbola pada tiap kecamatan di kota Malang. Sedangkan SIG berbasis web mampu memberikan informasi secara lengkap kepada masyarakat dengan mengaksesnya secara online melalui jaringan internet. Penelitian ini merancang aplikasi SIG yang dapat dijalankan pada web browser dengan memberikan informasi tentang persebaran sekolah sepakbola pada tiap kecamatan beserta informasi lengkap. Dalam perancangannya dibutuhkan metode pengumpulan data yaitu data spasial dan data non spasial/atribut. Data spasial berupa lokasi sekolah sepakbola yang ditunjukkan pada peta Kota Malang yang di dapatkan dari alamat lengkap sekolah sepakbola. Sedangkan data non spasial terdiri dari nama sekolah sepakbola, nama kordinator, nomor telepon, jadwal latihan, tempat latihan, syarat masuk klub dan jumlah anggota. Pada perancangan SIG berbasis web ini juga dilengkapi dengan fitur lain yaitu pengelolaan lapangan dan  pengelolaan event. AbstractIn improving the achievement and quality of Indonesian football soccer players needed coaching from a young age. A good coaching will have a good physical, mental and tactical game as well. This guidance can be done at football schools in each region. In terms of coaching football players Malang City has 29 football schools spread across each district, but from the number of school football is only a few that are known by the public in general. Geographic information system able to overcome these problems by way of searching school football distribution in each district in Malang city. While web-based GIS is able to provide complete information to the community by accessing it online through the internet network. This study designs GIS applications that can be run on a web browser by providing information about the distribution of football schools in each district along with complete information. In the design required data collection methods are spatial data and non spatial data / attributes. Spatial data in the form of football school location shown on the map of the city of Malang obtained from the full school football address. Non spatial data consists of the name of the football school, the name of the coordinator, the telephone number, the training schedule, the training ground, the club entry requirements and the number of members. In the design of web-based GIS is also equipped with other features of field management and event management.
