Geographic information systems (GISs) are becoming more widely used in transportation planning agencies, especially among metropolitan transportation organizations. The extension of GIS into transportation (GIS-T) is driven largely by the requirements of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA), the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, and legislation by states that mandate the development of transportation programs to reduce traffic impacts. Traditionally, transportation modeling of traffic impacts, calculation of vehicle emissions, and consideration of wider transportation planning effects, including transit, have employed different modeling techniques, often in different agencies or in separate sections within an agency. The results from these modeling and planning exercises have more often than not been displayed on different map bases, using different graphic programs to represent the data. The requirements of federal and state programs are encouraging modelers and planners to consider more consistent methods of data integration and display, hence the growing interest in GIS-T. The role of GIS-T in regional transportation planning is evaluated, including data integration issues, the configuration of transportation networks for use with GIS, and the linkage of transportation models to GIS.

In this chapter, we present the Web-based carpooling system ORISS, which was initially developed by a student project group at University of Oldenburg. It is currently being deployed at Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg with support of the DBU (Federal German Foundation for the Environment). We describe the role of carpools in traffic, particularly in commuter traffic, and show perspectives of an increased usage of carpools. A significant impact on the eco-balance of the university can be expected. We explain how Internet technologies and geographic information systems can be used for the arrangement of carpools, and show advantages over traditional methods of carpooling. The concrete architecture of ORISS and the algorithms used are outlined. We conclude the chapter by describing the circumstances of deployment and propose possible future extensions of the system.

Flood Prone Areas

The study aimed at extracting the valley and streamsnetwork using GIS in Bethlehem governorate and assessing the risks of floods and the most flood prone areas in the governorate in order to forecast and reduce the disaster risk related to the flood. With a description of the role of GIS in the work of hydrological analysis in order to benefit from the flood waters by identifying the optimal areas for the collection of flood waters. It showed the extraction of the map of the water streamsnetwork and the identification of river basins using GIS , and the ability of geographic information systems to assess liquidity risks, as well as the production of accurate and illustrative maps showing hazard locations, was demonstrated. And reviewed the role of GIS in the industry of opportunity and reduce the risk of disaster Through the use of floods and identify the best areas proposed for the collection of rainwater and then work on storage. It recommends the establishment of a national information bank, which will be responsible for each part of the information, to create a spatial database system that contains comprehensive maps in all areas within common standards, which will assist in disaster management and support decision-making in times of crisis and disaster using GIS.

The article presents an overview of information flows within Tick-born diseases epizootological monitoring. The role of the science-based approach and geographic information systems in the epizootological monitoring of infectious animal diseases is noted. For effective risk-based epizootological monitoring, it is necessary to centralize information flows and exchange operational data in real time and coordinate actions between different agencies to reduce or prevent the negative consequences of disease outbreaks, taking into account modern methods of risk assessment, management and audit. An important aspect is the creation of specialized epizootological databases with integration of geographic information systems.

GIS occupies a prominent place in the geographical arena. Has helped technical development in the field of cartography, one of those is to organize in the representation of natural and human geographical phenomena and to clarify the spatial relationships between those phenomena in a template A beautiful artistic and technical concept and style that is easy to understand. In some sources, this type of map is called statistical maps Due to the nature of the data and the quantitative methods that cartography depends on in its production. This study deals with the statistical data of the population in Khamis Mushait, and it was represented in some considerations on four maps This study was followed in its presentation and analysis of the four approaches (critical, analytical, experimental and applied). The study presented the definition of quantitative maps, their importance, the foundations of their classification, their types, the foundations of their construction and the methods of representation Al Cartography that you use, as the study dealt with quantitative maps in geographic information systems, and reviewed the most important The programs available for producing electronic maps are the most suitable and widely used types of representation symbols for representing geographical data Phenomena in every map. The study presented the applied steps used in producing quantitative maps in geographic information systems on population maps in Khamis Mushait governorate. The study also dealt with an inventory of the contents of the maps, their evaluation, analysis and classification in descending order according to the statistical data made available to the researcher. The problem of the study emerged in the lack of awareness of the vital role of geographic information systems and their various programs in producing maps Quantitative, and some reluctance to use and activate methods of location analysis on GIS maps and its various sources in the representation of phenomena on quantitative maps. The study found the importance of quantitative maps in geographic information systems and their high capabilities in producing and dealing with maps, the variation in their fields of display and the ease of application despite the lack of a number of graphical tools that can be applied in traditional methods and the need to link them, the limited use of GIS programs despite their cognitive importance and role. In building awareness of the place and the possibility of expanding its use, in addition to the need for the user and recipient of the map to have high skill and cognitive awareness sufficient to read and correctly interpret the components of the treasure and simulate reality. The study concluded with the results and recommendations.

Geographic information systems have an important role in the science of history. Geographic information systems are able to integrate various data in the study of history, combine, analyze, and map the results. This journal aims to examine the role of geographic information systems in geography. The method used is descriptive analysis method. The process of searching, collecting, and analyzing data is done by using literature studies from various reliable sources, such as books, journals, scientific articles, and academic archives and taking data on the distribution of cultural heritage in the City of Jambi. The results of the analysis show that the role of geographic information systems in the history of science as a tool to improve spatial or spatial analysis. in detail, the role of geographic information systems in the study of historical science can 1) provide historical data in a spatial form in maps, such as the map of the distribution of cultural heritage in Jambi City, 2) be able to see the comparison of historical facts from several regions, 3) make it easy to associate and correlating with the surrounding environment, 4) regionalization can be made related to the area of ​​power in the past, 5) makes it easy to answer the question "where" and "why there. And understand the relationship between humans and the environment, and how they affect the dynamics of life in the past. Thus, the role of GIS as an analytical tool in history is very important because it is able to provide data spatially and deepen the analysis of historical data.
