ABSTRACT Geographic Information System (GIS) is an indispensable software tool in forest planning. In forestry transportation, GIS can manage the data on the road network and solve some problems in transportation, such as route planning. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the pattern of the road network and define transport routes using GIS technology. The present research was conducted in a forestry company in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The criteria used to classify the pattern of forest roads were horizontal and vertical geometry, and pavement type. In order to determine transport routes, a data Analysis Model Network was created in ArcGIS using an Extension Network Analyst, allowing finding a route shorter in distance and faster. The results showed a predominance of horizontal geometry classes average (3) and bad (4), indicating presence of winding roads. In the case of vertical geometry criterion, the class of highly mountainous relief (4) possessed the greatest extent of roads. Regarding the type of pavement, the occurrence of secondary coating was higher (75%), followed by primary coating (20%) and asphalt pavement (5%). The best route was the one that allowed the transport vehicle travel in a higher specific speed as a function of road pattern found in the study.

Road lighting information is an important record in road network databases. It has been frequently observed that such data are either missing or not updated due to the high data collection cost using traditional methods. This paper presents a new methodology for identifying and (or) resolving missing and conflicting road lighting data in road network databases. The methodology is based on: (i) integrating the single-line road network (SLRN) in a geographic information system format with a road network database and (ii) integrating the SLRN with a collision database. Missing and conflicting lighting data are resolved using a semi-automatic method for extracting streetlight pole information. The integrated system can also identify inconsistencies related to short segments and segments with mixed illumination characteristics. Inconsistencies in the traffic volume database were also examined and the effect of data inconsistency on safety performance functions was evaluated. The proposed methodology represents an inexpensive, efficient tool for improving the quality of road network databases and associated road safety analysis.

AbstractKawasan Taman Nasional Gunung Merapi (TNGM) memiliki ragam potensi keunikan keanekaragaman hayati, alam, budaya dan sosial ekonomi, sehingga keberadaan kawasan ini penting dalam menciptakan hubungan yang berkelanjutan antara manusia dan lingkungan alam. Ancaman akan kelestarian TNGM salah satunya datang dari kegiatan perambahan yang dilakukan oleh manusia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyusun peta tingkat potensi perambahan di TNGM dengan menggnakan pemodelan spasial berbasis Sistem Informasi Geografis (SIG). Pengetahuan tentang tingkat potensi perambahan tersebut dapat dimanfaatkan untuk mengetahui distribusi wilayah yang perlu disarankan untuk tindakan pengawasan. Pemodelan potensi ancaman perambahan disusun berdasarkan parameter ketinggian tempat, kemiringan lereng, jarak dari jaringan jalan, jarak dari jaringan sungai, jarak dari penggunaan lahan, dan jarak dari permukiman. Proses analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis tumpang susun dengan menggunakan metode kuantitatif berjenjang tertimbang. Hasil pemetaan potensi ancaman kemudian diintegrasikan dengan peta zonasi kawasan untuk menghasilkan rekomendasi tindakan pengawasan. Berdasarkan peta potensi ancaman diketahui bahwa bagian selatan dari daerah kajian memiliki tingkat ancaman yang paling tinggi, yang mana merupakan daerah di sekitar batas TNGM. Analisis rekomendasi tindakan pengawasan menunjukkan bahwa terdapat 1.194,71 hektar (58.35%) dari daerah kajian disarankan untuk diawasi. Daerah tersebut memiliki nilai potensi ancaman perambahan yang relatif tinggi dan termasuk dalam Zona Inti. Tepatnya berada dekat dengan batas kawasan yang kemungkinan besar terpengaruh oleh aktivitas masyarakat.Kata kunci: TNGM, Potensi Ancaman Perambahan, Sistem Informasi Geografis, Pemodelan Spasial. Mount Merapi National Park (TNGM) has a variety of potential uniqueness of biodiversity, nature, culture and socio-economic. The existence of this region is critical in creating sustainable relationships between humans and their natural environment. One of the threats to TNGM sustainability comes from encroachment activities carried out by humans. This study aims to perform spatial modeling by utilizing Geographic Information System to produce potential encroachment level map and uncover the areas that need monitoring. There are six parameters used to develop an encroachment threat model, namely elevation, slope, distance from the road, distance from the hydrological network, distance from land use, and distance from the settlement. Overlay analysis was implemented using a quantitative weighted scoring method. The result is then integrated with the TNGM zonation map to produce recommendations for supervision actions. The map of the potential level of encroachment threat show there are five classes of threat varying from high to low. The high-threat spatial arrangement dominates the southern area which is around the TNGM boundary. Recommendation analysis of supervisory actions shows that there are 1194.71 hectares (58.35%) of the study area recommended being monitored. Those were the region that both have a relatively high potential threat of encroachment and settled in the Core Zone. Precisely located near the boundaries of the area which are commonly affected by community activities.Key words: TNGM, Potential encroachment threat, Geographic Information System, Spatial modelling.

Abstract This article combines geographic information system (GIS) technology and database technology to analyse agricultural, natural disasters. The article uses a fractional linear regression equation to define the comprehensive intensity grading standard of the disaster-causing factors of torrential rain. At the same time, we use GIS to superimpose the agricultural vulnerability index into the storm disaster risk zoning to obtain the degree of agricultural impact under different levels of risk. At the end of the thesis, the model is applied to actual case analysis to verify the effectiveness of the algorithm model.
