Geographical information system (GIS) is one kind of information system that handles spatial data. It is difficult to give one definitive definition about GIS (Heywood, Cornelius, & Carver, 2002; Maguire, Goodchild, & Rhind, 2001). This variety of definitions can be explained by the fact that any definition of GIS will depend on who is giving it, and their background and viewpoint (Pinkles, 2002). The complete definition of GIS is selected here as: “a set of tools for collecting, storing, retrieving at will, transforming, and displaying spatial data from the real world for a particular set of purposes”(Burrough, 1986, p. 6). As an important part of e-government, is that it has functions of cartography, manages spatial data and spatial analysis.

To the problem of visualization expression, under the ArcGIS space environment, I use the ArcObjects components to do the symbols allocation and visualization expression for spatial data and point, line and polygon target. Result shows that it has finished the visualization effect of spatial data and symbols in the geographical information system.

The design of a Web-geographical information system strongly requires methodological and operational tools to deal with information distributed in multiple, autonomous and heterogeneous data sources, and a uniform data publishing methodology and policy over Internet web sites. In this chapter, we describe our experience for the activities of requirement analysis and conceptual design of the DEAFIN Web-geographical information system whose objective is to improve the quality and the comparability of information about available industrial vacant sites, coming from different regional data sources. Heterogeneity and web availability requirements have been taken into account in the system architecture design. The DEAFIN system is thus conceived as a federated web-based information system, capable of managing and providing access to all the regional relevant information in an integrated and complete fashion. Furthermore, since the data available by a given DEAFIN region partner can be both spatial data and alphanumeric data, for each regional component system in the DEAFIN system, a Web-GIS system is defined.

This research aim to determine susceptance storey level damage of coral reefs in Territorial Water of Archipelago of Karimunjawa. Method which used in this research is special data analysis which in the form of data of sekunder by using Geographical Information System. Pursuant to analysis known that research area there are six especial stressor which menace coral reefs for example: Port, Airport, Center Dive, Coastal Wisata, Resident, and Appliance Catch. Pursuant to spasial analysis which have can be determined that equal to 69.50% from entire coral reefs research area in a condition do not susceptance, namely there are in territorial water region of Island: Kembar, Parang, Kumbang, Katang, Nyamuk, Krakal Besar, Krakal Kecil, Geleang, Burung, Bengkoang, Menyawakan, Cemara Besar, Cemara Kecil, Sintok, Gundul, Cendikian, Genting, Seruni, and Sambangan. As for the rest equal to 30.50% enough natural rentan of damage, there are at territorial water of islands owning high resident activity storry level, namely around in Island: Kemujan, Karimunjawa, Menjangan Besar, and Menjangan Kecil.

Geographical information system is a system that combines elements on a map that is prepared to process data, analyze, and display spatial data to improve design. In the era of technology, information and communication (ICT) for organizations, agencies and public services is very important and needs to be implemented immediately. ATR / BPN in Jonggol village, Jabon, Ponorogo, still uses the manual method in processing certified land registration. The process of seeking, processing, and collecting certificate data requires a lot of time, causing services to be inefficient and effective and community satisfaction also decreasing. Therefore, a technology is needed that can facilitate service officers to search for certified land ownership data by implementing the brute force algorithm in the Geographical Information System for certified land ownership. The application of Algortima Brute Force in this geographic information system can run well, but if the text characters are long inputted, the system search process will take longer (if the text is short, the search can run quickly). On 10 keywords with different keyword or character lengths, the average search time was 0.06335 seconds.

Spatial data are collected and represented as attributes of spatial objects embedded in a plane. Basis change is defined as the transfer of attributes from one set of objects to another. Methods of basis change for socioeconomic data are reviewed and are seen to differ in the assumptions made in each about underlying density surfaces. These methods are extended to more general cases, and an illustration is provided by using Californian data. The implementation of this framework within a geographical information system is discussed.

Geographical Information System (GIS) is computer software used for collection, storage, transformation, retrieval and display of geo spatial data from the real GIS world. The geographical data represent the real world in terms of their position with respect to a known coordinate system, their attributes and their geographical relationship with other objects. GIS utilization is being recognized as having the potential to improve the health of that specific population. GIS contributes in policy making, monitoring, implementation, and research in health sector. Need of population according to information provided by the GIS can be determined, which gives a quick and comprehensive review of regional and geographical health problems so that policy makers can utilize this for policy making and for forecasting the epidemics and other community health problems by using GIS. GIS system is a powerful and effective tool for creating intelligent/guide maps for, e.g., location of local health facilities, trauma centers, and specialized hospitals. It’s easy to purchase the GIS (hardware and software), but its proper utilization is a big task for the organizations to achieve their specific goals.
