Applications of Geographic Information System (GIS) are still in its infancy in the Kerala Tourism perspective.  THE FUTURE OF KEALA Tourism lies in implementing a GIS based solution for its applications.  Some basic features like itinerary planner and destination location finder have been implemented in the official website of Kerala Tourism.  The full potential of GIS is yet to be realised.  In order to compete in the international market this areas needs to be strengthened.  This study gives in insight into the possible implementation of a GIS based solution in the master plan of Kerala Tourism.  Also the possible outputs which such a system can generate are also examined.

In order to provide adequate modern terminal facilities to handle the anticipated commerce requirements, the Port of Boston Authority, in 1947 prepared a master plan for the future development of the port. The second step of this plan was the reconstruction, on modern standards, of the old Mystic Pier No. 1. Planning for this work was started in 1949 and the new pier was opened to commerce in September 1952.

The purpose of this study is to develop a master plan for mapping joint cellular telecommunication BTS towers in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Communication and Information Number : 02/Per/M.Kominfo/03/2008 regarding the use of towers together. The method used to collect and process data and analyze the distribution zone using MapInfo software. The data collection was an existing BTS towers and population which calculating and find the need of towers in the future by calculating the number of residents, users, traffic, then processed to calculate the number of BTS and shared towers and through coverage the possible distribution zones of the towers described through MapInfo are determined. The results obtained are a master plan containing predictions of the need for BTS towers in 2029 as many as 43 BTS with each tower occupied by a maximum of 3 providers so as to minimize the occurrence of tower forests and an overview of the pattern regarding the distribution of shared towers using the MapInfo software.

The infrastructural plans in the Jakarta Bay to reduce risks of flooding in Jakarta city comprise a large sea dike that encloses a retention lake. Part of the planned dike has the shape of the iconic Garuda bird. This shape is based on NCICD Stage-B Master Plan, where the form shape has not been tested on hydraulic perspective. Therefore, testing of wave run-up has been investiagated to find the optimum form of the Garuda Shape. The simulation of wave run-up uses Hawassi Model, where the model is governed by Boussinesq wave equation with considering wave-wave interaction. This paper shows that if in the future an explosion of Anak Krakatau will occur with strength 1/4th of the original Karkatau 1883 explosion, wave crests of 11m and troughs of 6m may collide against the birds head. As an alternative example, a more optimized design of the dike is constructed that reduces the maximal wave effects considerably.

AbstractThe paper seeks to examine whether Roman emperors legitimized their political actions with a view towards the future achievement of social and political order. The heuristic point of departure is Koselleck’s concept of ‚futures past‘ (vergangene Zukunft) which has been widely discussed in early modern and medieval research while its applicability to prechristian antiquity is still unexplored. The example of the so-called reforms of Augustus and Diocletian reveals that even in response to severe crises in the Roman Empire the emperors did not command any ideas of order in alternative to prevailing conditions. Neither did they have any ‚master plan‘ of coordinated reforms, but reacted in a situational manner with improvements of administrative practice which were mainly aimed at consolidating their power and authority. All ‚reforms‘ were pronounced retrotopically as a return to better days (restitutio) or as a preservation (conservatio) of ‚happier times‘ (felicitas temporum). Looking at the monarchical discourse of power and the messages exchanged in various media between the emperor and his subjects, it is evident that the dominant time regime of imperial chronopolitics lay in a ‚presentism‘ which extended the present, as ‚eutopia‘, into eternity and glorified it as a golden age, whereas the future was only envisaged in dynastic terms. The horizon of expectations of both the emperor and his subjects was restricted to present-day provision. Only Christians were able to imagine a worldly and transcendent horizon of the future. The political success and duration of the Roman Empire left no room for alternative horizons of possibilities, which also explains why the Roman Empire – in contrast to the Greek world – had no notion of utopia.

The theory of discrete, abstract groups, as presented in current texts, consists of investigations of various special classes of groups: it has very few completely general results. For some classes (say, for finite groups) the investigations have been extensive and successful; in a few cases (say, for finitely generated abelian groups) they have even reached a sense of completeness. The choice of some of these classes was dictated by the needs of other branches of mathematics. Many more were introduced with the view of extending the scope of certain powerful but special results, and a large part of the literature is taken up by elaborate counterexamples which mark the limits of these generalizations. In so far as one is looking for some kind of classification theory, it is immediately evident that the classes investigated were chosen by historical accident rather than by any master plan, and so far do not appear to form the initial part of a pattern which could be enlarged and completed in the future.
