The Cost

Field soil investigation prior to the foundation design of any structure is a must for the design engineer. Since the cost of such operation is rather high, then it is sometimes impractical. The design and the preliminary cost estimation of the construction are then impossible to be prepared. This paper applies Geographical Information System – GIS via Google earth to all over Bangkok area thus enables engineer to retrieve the physical characteristics of soil layers from the existing soil data. In addition, utilizing the feature of Google earth can be illustrated more visibility in the required position of boring log and position of retrieved soil boring log data. Moreover, it can be applied to everywhere around the world.

Index Crime

Snatch theft incidents are on the rise in Malaysia especially in the cities. It tends to happen in cities because there is a possibility to commit it and both crime and urban are often associated with each other. The aim of this paper is to find out whether the building with two or more levels in urban area contributes to the snatch theft incidents. The present study has been taken up to detect the hotspots of snatch theft in Selangor, Malaysia. The crime data were obtained by requesting and analysing the index crime statistical data from the Royal Malaysian Police (RMP). This study made use of the Geographical Information System (GIS) where its 3D modelling function to construct, assess and analyse the area with high snatch theft cases. The crime reports of 2010 until 2015 were geocoded and the crime maps were prepared in ArcGIS 10.2. It was found that the hotspot area is a mix-used development area which consists mainly of commercial and residential areas of more than two-level buildings.
