Sub watershed of Mowewe has been considered as important regions in South East Sulawesi because it takes a great responsibility as a water supplier in Konaweha watershed. Konaweha watershed is a source of irrigation and domestic water for Kolaka Regency, Konawe Regency, South Konawe Regency and Kendari Municipality which have been recently in a critical condition. For this reason, it should be well managed. This study was implemented with the aim of establishing model of land use in Mowewe sub watershed that can preserve the land and water resources. The method employs a system analysis with simulation technique by using the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) model based on Geographical Information Systems (GIS). The result of the research revealed that the predicting soil erosion is 68,58 ton/ha/year, more than the Tolerable Soil Loss (TSL) value of 21,52 ton/ha/year. Therefore, restructuring of land use pattern should be done to improve the condition of the area to achieve a sustainability. Keywords : Watershed, land use, soil erosion, GIS

We tested the hypotheses that mussel species richness and density are related to landscape features of watersheds. Measures of species richness and mussel density were estimated at 118 sites in 36 watersheds in the state of Iowa, U.S.A., a landscape characterized by >90% agricultural development. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and regression analyses examined seven land use categories and nine geological descriptors, determining that both mean density and species richness were best correlated with mean watershed slope and the prevalence of alluvial deposits. Our analyses imply that agricultural watersheds with high slopes impact mussel abundance and richness through siltation and destabilization of stream substrate. Because alluvial deposits improve groundwater flux to streams, results suggest that relatively stable stream flows in alluvial watersheds improve mussel persistence. A second set of 82 observations on 38 independent watersheds corroborates the analyses, although historical and local impacts cause correlations between new observations and predictions to be weak.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> The primary issues related the spatial organization of urban settlements are based on the development of density and land use decisions leading due to the market mechanisms. The current spatial land use pattern of cities have emerged depending various factors such as the migration movements increased rapidly from the 1950s, the rapid and uncontrolled urbanization, the pressures of rent directing the market mechanisms, etc. This urbanization process also has accompanied many problems as the insecure construction for disasters, dense and solid urban texture, various weaknesses or deficiencies of urban infrastructure. As a consequence of the evaluation for social facility areas (gaps in urban area, open and green areas, etc.) as “potential investment areas”, the loss of solid &amp;ndash; void ratio and dense built-environment have been experienced in urban centres and also urban development directions. The main aim of this study is to examine the spatial effects of land use decisions between the years of 2002 &amp;ndash; 2017 under the influence of the Law 6360 in terms of urban planning discipline. These spatial variations related land use pattern are determined using Google Earth and Geographical Information Systems (GIS). According to the results, it is clearly understood that current land use patterns in Guzelbahce district have changed significantly in 15-years period. The results of analyses related the case area which the urban sprawl has seen are discussed and a variety of policies have been developed.</p>

Strategic Commitment

Over the past few decades Sri Lankan tourism has been a story of untapped potential. The responsible parties have been unable to expand the footprint of tourism due to the lack of vision, coordinated planning and strategic commitment to the actions undertaken to accomplish a country's goal. Beyond question, the present tourism industry occupies an integral part of the economy of Sri Lanka. As a result, the negative impact of rapid and uncontrolled tourism development has become an inevitable critical issue. Regarding the indicated facts, this paper offers a remarkable aspect of tourism management defining proper land use patterns via GIS (Geographical Information Systems) for the identified tourism destinations in order to develop the tourism industry further on a both environmentally sustainable and economical platform. The study discusses the capabilities and shortcomings that are possible to encounter, brief description on GIS contribution and also the author's perspective relating to the future tourism strategic plan. Rooted in a GIS based analysis, the author anticipates to design a general framework to evaluate the proper land use systems as well as an infrastructure in effective transformation towards eco-tourism in Welipenna area through Bentota and Meegama river along with novel suggestions in conclusion.

It has become necessary to estimate the quantities of runoff by knowing the amount of rainfall to calculate the required quantities of water storage in reservoirs and to determine the likelihood of flooding. The present study deals with the development of a hydrological model named Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC-HMS), which uses Digital Elevation Models (DEM). This hydrological model was used by means of the Geospatial Hydrologic Modeling Extension (HEC-GeoHMS) and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to identify the discharge of the Al-Adhaim River catchment and embankment dam in Iraq by simulated rainfall-runoff processes. The meteorological models were developed within the HEC-HMS from the recorded daily rainfall data for the hydrological years 2015 to 2018. The control specifications were defined for the specified period and one day time step. The Soil Conservation Service-Curve number (SCS-CN), SCS Unit Hydrograph and Muskingum methods were used for loss, transformation and routing calculations, respectively. The model was simulated for two years for calibration and one year for verification of the daily rainfall values. The results showed that both observed and simulated hydrographs were highly correlated. The model’s performance was evaluated by using a coefficient of determination of 90% for calibration and verification. The dam’s discharge for the considered period was successfully simulated but slightly overestimated. The results indicated that the model is suitable for hydrological simulations in the Al-Adhaim river catchment.

Rabies Vaccination

We analyzed how land-use patterns and changes in urbanization influence reported rabid raccoons in Georgia from 2006 - 2010.  Using Geographical Information Systems and rabies surveillance data, multivariate analysis was conducted on 15 land-use variables that included natural topography, agricultural development, and urbanization to model positive raccoon rabies cases while controlling for potential raccoon submission bias associated with higher human population densities.  Low intensity residential development was positively associated with reported rabid raccoons while a negative association was found with evergreen forest.  Evergreen forests may offer a barrier effect where resources are low and raccoon populations are not supported.  Areas with pure stands of upland evergreen forest might be utilized in baiting strategies for oral rabies vaccination programs where fewer or no baits may be needed.  Their use as a barrier should be considered carefully in a cost-effective strategy for oral rabies vaccination (ORV) programs to contain the western spread of this important zoonotic disease.

Area Data

Cities are facing many challenges, in particular in relation to the mobility of people and the structure of land use. Parking management, which makes the link between land use and transportation, is one of the crucial ways to meet these challenges. In the Greater Montreal Area, data from origin–destination (OD) surveys is helpful in understanding typical travel behaviour. This study processes car driver trips from travel surveys to develop vehicle accumulation profiles and derive theoretical parking supplies from the observed parking demand, defined as the maximal number of cars parked in an area at a given time. This research also provides an assessment of the quality of the estimation by comparing the parking supplies derived from an OD survey to parking supplies estimated from public geographical information systems and field surveys. The paper shows that parking supply is subject to high variability and highlights that its assessment must take into account regulation data (obtained from on-street regulation parking signs data) that modulates the availability of the raw parking supply according to different days and hours of the day.

Bioenergy has been globally recognized as one of the sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels. An assured supply of biomass feedstocks is a crucial bottleneck for the bioenergy industry emanating from uncertainties in land-use changes and future prices. Analytical approaches deriving from geographical information systems (GIS)-based analysis, mathematical modeling, optimization analyses, and empirical techniques have been widely used to evaluate the potential for bioenergy feedstock. In this study, we propose a three-phase methodology integrating fuzzy logic, network optimization, and ecosystem services assessment to estimate potential bioenergy supply. The fuzzy logic analysis uses multiple spatial criteria to identify suitable biomass cultivating regions. We extract spatial information based on favorable conditions and potential constraints, such as developed urban areas and croplands. Further, the network analysis uses the road network and existing biorefineries to evaluate feedstock production locations. Our analysis extends previous studies by incorporating biodiversity and ecologically sensitive areas into the analysis, as well as incorporating ecosystem service benefits as an additional driver for adoption, ensuring that biomass cultivation will minimize the negative consequences of large-scale land-use change. We apply the concept of assessing the potential for switchgrass-based bioenergy in Missouri to the proposed methodology.
