This research and development aims the development of the disaster information system by the network for the disaster information collected at the time of disasters such as earthquakes, storm, or flood. This system uses a small unmanned aircraft for the aerial photography. The system sends the aerial photography information to the ground. The damage state can be understood by the monitoring television, when the system is established. The radio-controlled motor glider is used as a small unmanned aircraft. The gliding performance can be effectively obtained with small energy, and the flight time expected is to be long. Two small wireless cameras and GPS receivers are loaded as an information collection system. The glider was designed and produced by the materials such as balsa wood and plywood board. The wing length is 2 m long, and the weight of the aircraft body is 813g. The weight of the aircraft body contains about 140 g of the information collection system. A flight experimentation was conducted. The location is the campus of the Kochi University of Technology, where the permission of the flight experiment was obtained there. The information collection system successful worked within half the range of the university campus as a result of the flight experimentation. This research and development concluded that the information collection system in the range of the university campus was possible.

A university campus is an intricate infrastructure. Especially new students, who are thereon for the first time, have a tough time orienting themselves and finding places. The campus of Andhra University occupies more than 422 acres (170.7 hectares). The campus has many different buildings. Every year, thousands of new students join the university. These students either take a campus commuter or walk around to get familiar with the campus compound. Visitors to Andhra University might have a hard time searching for a particular location on the campus. Every day, uncountable numbers of students, staff, and visitors move around the campus compound to perform tasks by walking, cycling, driving, or riding campus commuters. Even if there are maps at various points on the campus premises, users do not have continuous help to reach their destination. On these static maps, they can try to figure out a way to get to their target, but as soon as they start walking in the target direction, they have no help anymore. The main objective of this study is to develop a Spatial Information System for Andhra University (a Progressive Web App). Which provides several features like a voice-enabled optimal navigation solution, shows nearby places within campus premises, and a geo-tagged university (Geo-tagging of all entities within campus premises). To make the web application more operative, the application is appended with more features. For instance, a map shows statistical data with pie charts visualization (statistical data like monthly attendance), machine learning's image recognition model for extracting the building information from the digital or captured images.

One of the most commonly used geospatial mapping methods is photogrammetry (aerial mapping). Photogrammetry is a method of mapping objects on the surface of the earth by using aerial photography as a medium. The aerial mapping process is carried out through cameras installed on Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). From the aerial photography, object interpretation and geometry measurements will be carried out to produce line maps, digital maps and photo maps. In general, photogrammetry is a mapping technology by utilizing aerial photography to be processed into a geo-spatial information system. Batu Bersurat Village is one of the villages located in Subdistrict XIII Koto Kampar, Kampar Regency, which did not have a geospatial information map. Community service team from the Mechanical Engineering Department of the University of Riau had a plan to carry out community service activities in Batu Besurat Village in the form of making geospatial information maps through aerial mapping. This aerial mapping activity was carried out by utilizing UAV with the type of fixed wing. In its implementation, the community service activities were planned to involve Mechanical Engineering students, university students of the University of Riau, village officials and the local community. It is expected that with this community service program, the geospatial information system map made by Batu Bersurat Village can be  used in village spatial planning for agricultural land, residential land and validation of village boundaries.

The article mainly discusses the problems of Aglet technology to environment of the city information system. The collection system is designed on the basis of the platform of Aglet development. The structure of it is properly designed, and the function of it is perfect. We can use Aglet-Based City Environment Information Collection System easily. It can store and collect large amounts of environment information efficiently and accurately. It can also achieve the unification of the different data formats. It handles mainly the problems which are related to the collection of all kinds of complicated data.

The article proposes a model for forecasting the success of student’s learning. The model is a Markov process with continuous time, such as the process of “death and reproduction”. As the parameters of the process, the intensities of the processes of obtaining and assimilating information are offered, and the intensity of the process of assimilating information takes into account the attitude of the student to the subject being studied. As a result of applying the model, it is possible for each student to determine the probability of a given formation of ownership of the material being studied in the near future. Thus, in the presence of an automated information system of the university, the implementation of the model is an element of the decision support system by all participants in the educational process. The examples given in the article are the results of an experiment conducted at the Institute of Space and Information Technologies of Siberian Federal University under conditions of blended learning, that is, under conditions when classroom work is accompanied by independent work with electronic resources.

A demonstration vegetable garden was constructed for students in elementary, middle and high schools to expose them to agricultural science. On Charter Day, a University-wide celebration, students were invited to the garden on the University campus. The purpose of this project was twofold: (1) for participants to learn how to make a garden and (2) for visitors to see a variety of available crops and cultural techniques. Approximately 30 vegetable crops were grown. The garden also presented some cultural practices to improve plant development, which included weed control by solarization, mulching, a drip irrigation system, staking, shading and crop cover. Different types of compost bins were shown and various nitrogen-fixing legumes were displayed as useful hedge plants for the garden.
