Geographical information systems as a methodology is a relatively new technology in scientific research and finding practical solutions for geographical problems. One of those problems is the complex over categorical set [1] known as environment. It is a very actual and complex problematic, hard for organizing and optimization when it has to set about the needs of humanity.Therefore, this article deals with the application of geographic information systems as one of the latest scien-tific techniques and technologies through which one can analyze and define the most optimal solutions in terms of environmental protection and sustainable development.The aim is to highlight the quantitative and qualitative aspects of GIS technology in function of the environ-ment on the one hand, and through concrete examples to point out to the power of these technologies in the process of finding optimal solutions. It is briefly pointed out to some general criteria that are inevitable in the process of creating databases in GIS necessary for adequate and suitable GIS analyses.

AbstractFrom the beginning of human existence, man collected and analysed information about the space that surrounded him. Nowadays, due to the huge amount of data, it would be impossible without geographic information systems. According to the definition, the main function of GIS (Geographic Information Systems) is to collect, process, integrate, analyse and present data directly collected in the database or obtained through analysis. The basis of each information system’s functioning is the collection of relevant data about real-world objects, in terms of their completeness, quality and reliability. Due to the very rapid development of information technology, GIS systems have found a wide application, eg. in spatial planning, real estate management, administration, infrastructure management and many other areas of life. The authors within the article have made a detailed review of the current using of GIS, with particular emphasis on the mining industry. In the latter, particular attention was focused on the use of this type of tools to monitor and analyse the effects of mining activities. At the same time, the authors indicated new possibilities related to the application of geographic information systems in this branch.

Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are the systems that store location based data and analyze them. In this study, GIS is defined and its importance and functions are described. Usage of GIS in marketing area is explained in details and finally number of academic publications about GIS in general and in marketing literature for decades are analyzed through five different and some of the mostly used databases in social sciences, which are Ebsco, ProQuest, Sage, Springer and Science Direct. Since the importance and usage of GIS in marketing applications and literature increases, however its ratio in total GIS literature is not sufficient yet.

Sotto il comune titolo di Beni ambientali e culturali e Geographical Information Systems sono raccolti i contributi presentati in occasione degli workshop GIS per l'archeologia del paesaggio (Firenze, maggio 2000) e GIS per la tutela e valorizzazione dei beni ambientali e storico-culturali (Firenze, maggio 2001). Il filo rosso che lega questi incontri è l'attenzione alle problematiche connesse a censimento, gestione, valorizzazione e tutela del patrimonio ambientale e culturale e la riflessione sul ruolo che tecnologia e metodologia GIS (Geographical Information Systems) possono avere in questo settore d'intervento.

Resumen El ordenamiento territorial como disciplina ha venido aplicándose alrededor del mundo desde hace ya mucho tiempo; evidentemente sus procesos se han optimizado, y han evolucionado no solo técnica sino conceptualmente. Sin embargo, la velocidad a la que crecen actualmente las ciudades genera una brecha cada vez mayor con los procesos de planificación, que difícilmente pueden producir políticas o acciones urbanísticas que lleguen a tiempo a los territorios.La aparición en escena de los Sistemas de Información Geográfica ha ofrecido una nueva variedad de métodos y herramientas que en concordancia con los acelerados procesos de desarrollo urbano, han fortalecido la cultura de la planeación en la reducción de sus tiempos de análisis, la adquisición de datos y fundamentalmente en la toma de decisiones. En ese sentido, este artículo plantea la aplicabilidad de los SIG en el Ordenamiento Territorial, con base en la profunda relación existente entre los componentes básicos del primero y las metodologías de trabajo del segundo, y mediante ejemplos de algunas de las aplicaciones prácticas que se le pueden dar a esta nueva tecnología en el ámbito del urbanismo. Palabras ClavePlanificación urbana, Urbanismo, Relaciones Espaciales, Territorio. Abstract Urban planning as a discipline has been used around the world since long time ago; obviously it´s processes have improved and it has evolved not only technically but conceptually. However, the accelerated growth process of the cities is producing an every time bigger breach with the planning processes, that hardly produce on time policies or urban actions to apply on the territories. The appearance of the Geographic Information Systems has offered a new variety of methods and tools that according with the strong urban growth, has helped to improve the planning culture reducing the duration of its analyzing processes, the data acquisition, and mainly the decision making. In that order, this paper set up some of the application methods of GIS in Urban Planning, based on the deep relation that exist between the basic components of the first and the work methodologies of the second one, and using examples about some of the practical uses that may have this new technology at the urbanism field.KeywordsUrban Planning, Urbanism, Spatial Relations, Territory.

A new method for access management using traffic impact tools is described. The method targets impact assessment of developments combined with large activity centers. The magnitude of impact of large developments necessitates assessment of their regional and local effects on transportation networks. The method described combines regional and local traffic models and uses geographic information systems (GISs) as support tools. It was created as an access control method for computerized models and addresses supply-side transportation improvements (e.g., number of lanes, signalization, and parking controls) and their effect on traffic flow in an attempt to create better quantitative models for congestion management and access control by considering local and regional traffic impacts together. GIS technology enables users to create detailed highway networks for use in regional forecasting models and in smaller traffic simulation models. The data, models, and software used are outlined and an example of application is provided. The initial results show the efficacy of the concept and the resulting models. In the regional model, the new development generates not only new traffic volume on the network, but also route-choice changes influenced by the level of service on the specific corridors in the study area. Another component of the new model is a local model connected to a regional model through interface software. Using Traf-NETSIM, two scenarios were simulated to test the efficacy of this model system. Twenty-four independent simulation runs indicated that the access control scenario results in higher speed and less traffic delay on the primary arterial road.

The One

There are millions of maps like the one Wislawa Szymborska describes.  But in this essay I’ll be looking at another kind: geographical information systems, which do get stirred when people engage with them.  Arrayed on screens, the surfaces of these interactive maps are designed to get unsettled.  There’s electricity and constant data-accrual agitating them, letting them change with context and consultation.  They are still accounts of space, these new kinds of maps, but they do not stay still.  They alter from moment to moment, tracking time, showing  --  albeit mainly at the somewhat occluded level of metadata  --  a record of everyone who visits them, who gets folded into them.
