AbstractAir pollution in Malaysia is largely attributed to motor vehicles and land transportation, industrial activities and open burning. It has a hazardous effect on the public’s health and the environment. This study focuses on the spatial analysis of carbon monoxide (CO) and ozone (O3) concentrations trend in Klang Valley stations, specifically in Klang, Petaling Jaya, Kajang, Shah Alam and Cheras from 2000 to 2009. The study used the Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) interpolation technique under the Geographic Information System (GIS). This study found that the distribution pattern of CO spatial concentrations in the Klang Valley is the highest concentration and reached 2.5 ppm, especially in Klang and Petaling Jaya stations in 2002 and 2003. However, the annual concentration of O3 recorded in Klang, Petaling Jaya, Kajang, Shah Alam, and Cheras stations from 2004 to 2009 is between 0.01 to 0.025 ppm. While air quality legislations have been introduced in Malaysia, policies and regulations being established by the government, their enforcement is still weak. Subsequently, air pollution is still a significant issue in Malaysia. Strong cooperation between the government, stakeholders and the local community is important to promote environmental sustainability and improve the community’s well-being. Keywords: Air pollution; Geographic Information System (GIS); Air Quality Policy; Malaysia

Sesuai dengan undang-undang berkaitan dengan kesehatan yaitu undang-undang nomor 36 tahun 2009 menyatakan dengan jelas yaitu anggaran untuk kesehatan merupakan 5% dari anggaran pendapatan dan belanja negara (APBN). Untuk itu perhatian dan kepedulian pemerintah menjadi sangan penting untuk dilakukan baik pemerintah tingkat nasional, provinsi, kabupaten, kecamatan atau bahkan pemeritnah tingkat kelurahan. Salah satu sektor yang patut diperhatikan yaitu sektor pencegahan berkaitan dengan penyakit malaria. Namun untuk melakukan pencegahan tersebut membutuhkan data yang valid serta aktual. Untuk itu di dalam penelitian ini dilakukan pengembangan sistem informasi geografis penderita malaria sebagai salah satu cara dalam penyajian informasi untuk penanggulangan oleh pemerintah. Dalam proses pengembangan sistem informasi geografis digunakan waterfall seabgai metode pengembangan dengan tahapan communication, planning, modeling, construction, dan deployment. Sistem informasi geografis yang dihasilkan memiliki fitur yang dapat menyajikan data pendertia malaria dengan atribut nama, jenis Malaria, RT, alamat, telepon dan lama menderita malaria dan telah dilakukan pengujian. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan semua komponen dapat berfungsi dengan baik.   Kata kunci: SIG, Penderita Malaria, Waterfall     Abstract  By the law relating to health, namely law number 36 of 2009 states clearly that the budget for health constitutes 5% of the state budget (APBN). For this reason, the attention and concern of the government become very important to be carried out either at the national, provincial, district, sub-district, or even village level government. One sector that needs attention is the prevention sector related to malaria. But to do this, prevention requires valid and actual data. For this reason, in this research, the development of a geographic information system for malaria sufferers was carried out as a way of presenting information for countermeasures by the government. In the process of developing a geographic information system, a waterfall used as a method of development with stages of communication, planning, modelling, construction, and deployment. The resulting geographic information system has a feature that can present supplementary malaria data with the attribute name, type of malaria, RT, address, telephone, and duration of disease and has tested. The test results show all components can function correctly.  Keywords: GIS, Malaria sufferers, Waterfall

Jember regency has several areas that are morphology of folding hills and mountain folds. The part of landslide prone zone is closely related to the slope of the slope. Areas with a sloping slope of more than 15º need attention to the possibility of a landslide disaster. Interconnection contacts with weathering of rocks, settlements and land cover also affect the landslide potential. The existence of Ijen Volcano that produces volcanic rock deposits that are generally not yet unified will increase the potential for landslides in Jember Regency. Landslide has occurred one of them on Gunung Gumitir Street which is the main route of Surabaya-Jember-Banyuwangi traffic. In May 2016 this street is hit by landslide, so the flow of traffic through this lane is paralyzed and must be diverted to a further path, which rotates to Situbondo City. The transfer of this pathway resulted in a loss to the local community and who crossed the path.The occurrence of landslide disaster shows that Jember Regency area is vulnerable and potentially return to landslide. Therefore there is a need for a solution to solve this problem. One solution to solve the problem is by utilizing Geographic Information System (GIS) application. The purpose of this research is to analyze zonation prone to landslide in jember district. The design of the research is Geographic Information System overlay analysis. This design combines several parameters in the determination of landslide-prone zones. This design combines several parameters in the determination of landslide-prone zones. The parameter used in this research is (1) land use, (2) topography, and (3) soil.Based on the research results, it can be known zone with highest to lowest vulnerability level. Zone with very high level of vulnerability is located in Panti sub-district, Sumberbaru, Sukorambi, Dyke, Silo and Jelbuk. The zones have similar characteristics that include (1) soil type of andosol, (2) clay texture, (3) uncompacted rock, (4) slope of 30⁰-40⁰ (steep and very steep), and (5) land use for settlements and plantations.

Pollutant emissions are considered to be a major threat to air quality and human health in urban areas. Therefore, accurate modeling and assessment tools are required. In this study, a model was done by the integration of machine learning algorithms and a geographic information system model. This model included the optimization of the support vector regression model by using the principal component analysis algorithm. Then, the integration of the regression model with spatial analysis modeling via a grid (100 x 100 m) was done in order to generate prediction maps during holidays and workdays in the daytime and at nighttime in a highly congested area in Baghdad city, Iraq. The data used in this study categorized into two categories. The first category is the data acquired through field surveying that includes temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and traffic flow data (e.g., the number of light and heavy vehicles), as well as carbon monoxide samples by using mobile equipment. The second category is the information derived from geographic information system data, such as land use, road network, and building height. The accuracy of the proposed model is 81%, and the lowest value of root mean square error was 0.067 ppm. The integration between air pollution models and geographic information system techniques could be a promising tool for urban air quality assessment and urban planning. These tools effectively utilized by stakeholders and decision-makers to outline proper plans and strategies to mitigate air pollutants in urban areas.

The role of BBM is very important in people's lives. Fuel is a basic need for rural and urban communities, both as household needs and as business needs. The existence of kerosene in Jayapura is quite evenly distributed. From the results of survey conducted by the OFFICE OF INDUSTRY, COOPERATIVE TRADE AND SMEs that every year the use of LPG as fuel for cooking is still very low, while the use of kerosene from year to year is widely used by local community, it causes more kerosene bussiness but people have difficulty getting information about the location to get the kerosene, therefore we need a system that can help find the location, namely geographic information system that can provide information about fuel oil base points. This system is in symbols form for making the system using QGIS with the PIECES analysis method, the design using Unified Modeling Language (UML) method and the development method using waterfall method. This research produces a system that can be expected to make it easier for the public to know the distribution of kerosene in Jayapura

Environmental health is an important factor in improving the health and well-being of human life and to prevent the dangers of disease. Environmental monitoring and engineering efforts need to be undertaken to meet these objectives. Harapan Baru Village is one of the villages in the Loa Janan Ilir District, Samarinda City, East Kalimantan Province. Harapan Baru Village is a fairly dense area. According to BPS data, Kota Samarinda in 2017 has a density of 4,304.34 inhabitants per km2. This kelurahan has problems in monitoring environmental health. Geographical information system (GIS) technology is currently developing rapidly. GIS can provide a monitoring model solution in environmental health countermeasures from a preventive side. For this reason, a study was conducted on environmental health monitoring in the Harapan Baru Village area using a web-based geographic information system. The method used to carry out the monitoring process is to use geographic information system tools, especially its spatial clustering analysis capabilities. The results showed that the GIS application of Environmental Health Monitoring in Harapan Baru was able to provide strong and up-to-date information about the environmental health conditions of residents. In particular, the system's ability to perform spatial queries by combining spatial and non-spatial attributes.
