The Geographical Information Systems technology is used in many fields where the spatial information is very important and relevant, that means in all fields that use a system for saving, analyzing and representing the data which are processed. The aim of this paper is using modern technology for monitoring the environment. Geographical Information System together with remote sensing have a very important role in decision process regarding the environment. Integration of remote sensing images in a Geographical Information System which enables complex spatial analysis is a useful and modern solution for environmental management and decision-making process. Satellite images contain various information that can support environmental monitoring, images that can be analyzed and interpreted in various ways by using the Geographical Information System tools.

AbstractDust is a phenomenon occurring in most parts of the world causing financial loss and adverse environmental effects and impacts. Many parameters are involved in dust phenomenon occurrence, some of which are natural and some of them are due to human processes and their influence on the environment. Monitoring the environmental changes can be worthwhile and efficient procrastination the occurrence of this phenomenon. In this research, we scrutinized the Persian and English database in a structured way using dust keywords, heavy metals, remote sensing, geographical information systems and statistical methods. Articles taking into consideration these three fields were retrieved, analyzed descriptively and reported. In accordance with this methodology, the study was conducted in a period from 1992 to 2016. Findings: Among the methods used, the method of interpolation, zoning of dust and their distribution with GIS is more applicable, and among satellite images, MODIS images are the most applicable ones. The results obtained from this study indicated that statistical methods, remote sensing and geographical information system are among effective tools in studying germane researches done on dust monitoring and detection.

The growing demand for groundwater is due to several reasons such as the increment of population, agriculture, pollution, industrialization and urbanization. This study aims to map the groundwater potential zones by using the Geographical Information System (GIS) with remote sensing techniques in the study area. The study area is located at Kg Timbang Dayang and its surrounding at Kota Belud, Sabah. Eight parameters were studied that affect the occurrence of groundwater in the study area. Those parameters are obtained from existing maps, remote sensing imagery and associated databases. The parameters are; lithology, rainfall distribution, drainage density, lineament density, soil types, elevation, slope steepness and landuse. All these parameters will be used to create the thematic maps based on the given weightage values. Finally, all the thematic maps will be integrated to produce the final groundwater potential map of the study area. The groundwater potential map is classified into three categories which are low, moderate and high.

In this research exact Coordinate points of Baghdad University locations were estimated by utilizing one of importance Remote Sensing (RS) techniques: Differential-Global-Positioning-System (DGPS) field to measure referencing points, then Inverse-Distance-Weight (IDW) Interpolation of Geographical-Information-System (GIS) was applied to defined each point coordinates in the study regiondepending on DGPS measurments. Eight referencing points were measured in Baghdad University region for having exact coordinates: Longitude, Latitude and DEM. ArcMap-GIS & Excel programs were utilized to determine the results.

The objectives of the research were to make land suitability map for sugarcane plant (Saccharum officinarum), to give recommendation of location including area for sugarcane plant cultivation and to increase sugarcane plant productivity. The research used maps overlay and Geographical Information System (GIS) which used Arch-View Spatial Analysis version 2,0 A in Remote Sensing Laboratory, Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT), Jakarta. The research was carried out in Tegal Regency starting from June to October 2004.The results of the research showed that the suitable, conditionally suitable, and not suitable land for sugarcane cultivation in Tegal Regency reached to a high of 20,227 ha, 144 ha, and 81,599 ha respectively. There were six most dominant kind of soil: alluvial (32,735 ha), grumosol 5,760 ha), mediteran (17,067 ha), latosol   (18,595 ha), glei humus (596 ha), and regosol (22,721 ha).
