Aimed to assess spatial pattern of coastline in Liaoning province. Series satellite remote sensing images obtained in 1990 and 2010 were employed to survey coastline integrated field surveying in Liaoning province. Some spatial index were established to describe coastline spatial characteristics by geographical information system, individually. The result as follow: remote sensing images integrated geographical information system are useful tools for coastline surveying. Spatial index based on geographical information system suitable to assess coastline spatial pattern. In last 20 years, length of coastline in Liaoning province increased and its tortuosity ascend. The increment is 30% in some regions, such as Jinzhou and Panjin. The common use type of coastline is fishing and port. Exploitation of coastline cause length of artificial coastline (dams, bulwark, eg) grow up, while natural coastline, such as rock coastline, sandy coastline and muddy coastline compressed. The total exploitation extensity boast in last20 years in Liaoning province.

The objectives of the research were to make land suitability map for sugarcane plant (Saccharum officinarum), to give recommendation of location including area for sugarcane plant cultivation and to increase sugarcane plant productivity. The research used maps overlay and Geographical Information System (GIS) which used Arch-View Spatial Analysis version 2,0 A in Remote Sensing Laboratory, Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT), Jakarta. The research was carried out in Tegal Regency starting from June to October 2004.The results of the research showed that the suitable, conditionally suitable, and not suitable land for sugarcane cultivation in Tegal Regency reached to a high of 20,227 ha, 144 ha, and 81,599 ha respectively. There were six most dominant kind of soil: alluvial (32,735 ha), grumosol 5,760 ha), mediteran (17,067 ha), latosol   (18,595 ha), glei humus (596 ha), and regosol (22,721 ha).
