Conceptual Research

Application of geospatial technology viz., remote sensing (RS), geographic information system (GIS), and global positioning system (GPS) may have significant role in investigations related to earth system science events. Especially investigations pertaining to urban system science needs support of geospatial technology as the urban events are dynamic and complex in nature. This chapter explains about the significance of geospatial technology in the context of urban sciences. It also provides brief details about different spatial technology. Furthermore, a conceptual research methodology is provided which demonstrates the application of geospatial technology in assessing an urban event. It would help readers to develop a strong understanding about the significance of geospatial technology, and about the ways, it can be implemented for urban science investigations.

Environmental Consequences

Among the environmental consequences of the illegal production of amber, the experts single out the degradation of zonal soils and underlying bed rocks, destruction of fertile humus and eluvial horizons of podzolic soils, root systems of trees, swamp formation, change in groundwater levels, destruction of forest resources, and change in the migration processes of the region’s fauna. The most serious ecological and economic problems are caused by the unauthorized production of amber in Rivne, Volyn and Zhytomyr oblasts, where the illegal production of amber is carried out by open-pit and hydromechanical methods. The main tasks set forth in the article are: to analyze the places and conditions of amber production, to define its influence on the environment components, to identify the objects of natural resources use by means of Earth remote sensing methods. The article deals with the development of modern information technology for identifying the places and consequences of amber production in the western regions of Polissia based on the methods of satellite environmental monitoring and tools of geoinformation systems. The production technologies and the manifestation of their ecological impacts are described. The environmental impact assessment of amber production is not possible without defining the potential operational risks, identifying the locations and extent of environmental damage. Due to local peculiarities of amber production management, it is rather difficult to fix the topographic and geodetic parameters of the manifestations of these effects, which complicates the planning of prevention and elimination measures. The methods of Earth remote sensing (ERS) from space and geoinformation systems (GIS) can define these parameters with high accuracy, reliability and efficiency, which will enable the efficient monitoring of the environmental components degradation.

Amendment in black pepper cultivation is crucial to level up the productivity of this crop. Implementation of geospatial technology on black pepper cultivation which also classified as small scale agricultural activity is seen to enhance their production. In this paper, we use a comprehensive study on journal papers, conference proceedings, formal web sites and books as fundamental sources of information. Firstly, the study review on black pepper current situation in Malaysia and related producer countries. Secondly, it focused on geospatial technology especially on remote sensing and crop growth monitoring that have been implemented and well established. Lastly, limitation to implement this technology on black pepper cultivation in Malaysia situation was discussed. Therefore, it is predicted that geospatial technology will enhance black pepper productivity and implementation of this technology on small scale cultivation requires consolidation from various agencies since it requires high investment and foundation.

Preliminary Application

Even today, weeds continue to be a considerable problem for agriculture. The application of synthetic herbicides produces serious environmental consequences, and crops suffer loss of their activity due to the appearance of new resistant weed biotypes. Our aim is to develop new effective natural herbicides that improve the problem of resistance and do not harm the environment. This work is focused on a bioassay-guided isolation and the characterization of natural products present in Moquiniastrum pulchrum leaves with phytotoxic activity and its preliminary application in weeds. Moquiniastrum pulchrum was selected for two reasons: it is an abundant species in the Cerrado region (the second most important ecosystem in Brazil, after the Amazon)—the explanation behind its being a dominant species is a major focus of interest—and it has traditional employment in folk medicine. Six major compounds were isolated in this plant: one flavone and five diterpenes, two of which are described for the first time in the literature. Four of the six compounds exhibited phytotoxic activity in the bioassays performed. The results confirmed the phytotoxic potential of this plant, which had not been investigated until now.

Development And Management

Planning of conservation measures for watershed management and development is the method of preparing and implementing plans in different projects to maintain and raise watershed management functions which otherwise affect the plants, animal and human communities inside watershed boundary. The geospatial technologies like remote sensing and GIS, GPS are useful for fast and cost effective study of different applications with accuracy in planning. It also gives a good quality perspective for understanding the problems and therefore useful for planners for better result for sustainable water resource development and management. The main focus of the study is to develop the land and water resource development plan and environmental management for groundwater recharge development using Geospatial technology in Patur watershed which is situated in Akola district of Maharashtra. In this study various types of thematic maps have been generated from satellite images using remote sensing and GIS technology. These thematic maps were prepared from different types of data sets like IRS- LISS-III multispectral images, SRTM data with 30 m resolution and Survey of India Toposheet. The thematic maps for GIS analysis were created by image processing of the raw data using geospatial technology. A particular importance is laid on the planning of conservation measures for land and water resources management plan mainly based on the land use/ land cover, geology, geomorphology and slope of the Patur watershed area. The planning conservation activity should be important for ecological development and management at the forest area in the Patur watershed. From the final output of these study different conservation measures/structures like recharge wells, farm ponds, CNB, gully plug, CCT and other soil and water conservation structures have been suggested for groundwater recharge development, environmental management and to control soil erosion from the watershed area with reference to remote sensing and GIS data compared with ground truth.
