A novel method to create a physicalization of Digital Earth resulted a new type of analogue and tactile geographic information system (GIS). The model was tested by students in Australia, who shared insights into how the model supported their learning about the concept of “overlay” while providing an interesting and engaging learning platform. Observations suggest the model promoted collaborative learning, and provided a bridge between paper maps and digital GIS. This study offers insight into preferences of school children for physicalization models in geography education and contributes to an understanding of children's spatial thinking and understanding of the overlay concept.

Applications of Geographic Information System (GIS) are still in its infancy in the Kerala Tourism perspective.  THE FUTURE OF KEALA Tourism lies in implementing a GIS based solution for its applications.  Some basic features like itinerary planner and destination location finder have been implemented in the official website of Kerala Tourism.  The full potential of GIS is yet to be realised.  In order to compete in the international market this areas needs to be strengthened.  This study gives in insight into the possible implementation of a GIS based solution in the master plan of Kerala Tourism.  Also the possible outputs which such a system can generate are also examined.

Gajah Wong Sub Watersheds frequently hit by floods which are potentially damaging. Therefore, a study on a flood vulnerability of the area is deemed necessary. This study aims to map floods vulnerability, to know the level and its spread in Gajah Wong Sub Watershed of Yogyakarta County Province by using Geographic Information System (GIS). The methods implemented in this study was weighing and scoring analysis and overlay of parameter attributes data of flood vulnerability framer, consisting of land use, slope of mountain, rainfall, soil type, geology, height of location and river buffer. Each parameter of flood vulnerability framer is classified based on the magnitude of effect towards flood vulnerability. The results of this study indicate that there were three levels of flood vulnerability in  Gajah Wong Sub Watershed, i.e. low flood vulnerability of 338.34 Ha (6.86%), medium flood vulnerability level of 4,595.62 Ha (93.13%) and high flood vulnerability level of  0.76 Ha (0.02%). Low flood vulnerability level is ditributed randomly to all areas of  Gajah Wong Sub Watershed cover of Ngaglik Sub-district, Depok Sub-district, small part of  Pleret Sub-district and was predominantly in  Banguntapan Sub-district, an area with rainfall. Medium flood vulnerability areas dominated Gajah Wong Watershed. Meanwhile, high flood vulnerability level occupied small portion of the area and spread in the southern part of Pleret Sub-district which was taken as the area of River Buffer analysis.

Historic Landscape Characterisation (HLC) maps landscape with particular reference to its historic character and development. Executed using sources including satellite imagery and aerial photography and presented in a Geographic Information System (GIS), this offers a powerful insight into a landscape story. Here two leading advocates of the approach apply HLC for the first time to historic landscapes in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Gis Integration

Technological advancement in the realm of education is the process of transitioning from traditional Learning and Facilitation (L&F) to the 21st Century L&F. Geographic Information System (GIS) integration in Geography subjects is crucial in Malaysia to uphold and revive Geography subjects. Ergo, the Geographic Information System-Spatial Thinking Skills Module (GIS-STS) was developed as an intervention intended in improving the Spatial Thinking Skills (STS) and attracting students to Geography subjects. This study aims to analyze the validity of the content of the GIS-STS module. The content validity analysis utilizes the consensus assessment of seven experts. The findings exhibit that the value of the coefficient of the validity of the content is .930 and based on the sub module and the activity is .870. Hence, this proves that the GIS-STS module has a high content validity and is therefore suitable for implementation in secondary schools for Geography Form two students.

In recent years, geographic information system (GIS) and spatial analysis in rock art studies has become a more prominent means of studying rock art and its association with the Indigenous landscape. Recent approaches integrate theoretical dimensions of GIS analysis with a diverse range of methods, each of which requires comprehensive consideration of its strengths and limitations. Insight into Indigenous peoples’ landscape perceptions through multiscalar, theoretical analyses can be gleaned through the application of GIS within rock art research. A holistic review is presented here to understand the methodologies that have been utilized in rock art research, not only for conservation and preservation, but also to further understand the integration of rock art within the landscape through statistical and spatial interrogation.
