Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the edaphic suitability of Elaeis guineensis at a semi-detailed scale (1:50000), in the Plains and Terraces of Tabasco, Mexico (PTT). Design/Methodology/Approach: The edaphic requirements consisted of a semi-detailed soil map. The evaluation of the edaphic suitability was based on the agroecological zoning methodology proposed by FAO and the final 1:50000 scale map was developed using the algebra mapping tool with the ArcGis® Geographic Information System. Results: The Gleysols, Fluvisols, Luvisols, and Lixisols groups dominate the PTT, with 65.1, 16.2, 6.3, and 4%, respectively. Most of the soils (79.95%) have zero suitability for oil palm. Study Limitations/Implications: Oil palm is the eighth most important perennial crop (over cocoa) for the economy of southeastern Mexico. In this scenario, the expansion of plantations in the country is a possibility; therefore, complying with internal regulations and carry is important. Findings/Conclusions: The internal drainage of Gleysols soils limits the establishment of E. guineensis plantations in the plains and terraces of Tabasco, Mexico.

Origin–destination flow maps are a popular option to visualize connections between different spatial locations, where specific routes between the origin and destination are unknown or irrelevant. Visualizing origin–destination flows is challenging mainly due to visual clutter which appears quickly as data sets grow. Clutter reduction techniques are intensively explored in the information visualization and cartography domains. However, current automatic techniques for origin–destination flow visualization, such as edge bundling, are not available in geographic information systems which are widely used to visualize spatial data, such as origin–destination flows. In this article, we explore the applicability of edge bundling to spatial data sets and necessary adaptations under the constraints inherent to platform-independent geographic information system scripting environments. We propose (1) a new clustering technique for origin–destination flows that provides within-cluster consistency to speed up computations, (2) an edge bundling approach based on force-directed edge bundling employing matrix computations, (3) a new technique to determine the local strength of a bundle leveraging spatial indexes, and (4) a geographic information system–based technique to spatially offset bundles describing different flow directions. Finally, we evaluate our method by applying it to origin–destination flow data sets with a wide variety of different data characteristics.

The potential of freshwater aquaculture area in South Aceh has not been optimally pursued; this is due to the limited technological and information capabilities, institutions and funding. The purpose of this study was to map the suitability of freshwater aquaculture land by utilizing the Geographic Information System (GIS) and multi criteria analysis in South Aceh. Determination of land suitability is done through the Multi Criteria Evaluation (MCE) and application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The results of the analysis show that the appropriate location (S1) is 81.55% (of the total area sample area) and the location which is not suitable is 18.45% (of the total area sample area). This indicates that the coastal areas of South Aceh have potential freshwater aquaculture areas.

Abstract. The paper we summarizes and discusses experience of medical statistics data processing and mapping, gained in 2019–2020 in the frames of study devoted to the tuberculosis infection mapping. Basing on this experience, we have formalised a set of research issues, which were elaborated and clarified at the previous stages but demand additional investigations.Additionally, the paper summarises results of design and prototyping of a Web mapping interface implemented as a part of developed medical Geographic Information System (GIS). Developed GIS is aimed onto mapping and analysis of tuberculosis infection data. The overall structure of elaborated GIS is covered also with respect to the detected research issues.


The chapter presents the geographic information systems. A geographic information system (GIS) is a computer system that allows various sources to gather and organize, manage, analyze and combine, develop, and present geographically located information contributing in particular to the management from space. A geographic information system is also a database management system for entering, storing, retrieving, querying, analyzing, and displaying localized data. It is a set of data located in space, structured so that it can conveniently extract syntheses useful to the decision.

Crime is one of the problems that is quite complicated and very disturbing to the community. Crimes can occur at different times and places, making it difficult to track which areas are prone to such actions. K-means algorithm is used to cluster prone areas and Geographic Information System is used to map crime-prone areas. Web-based application is developed with the PHP programming language. The data used is quantitative data in the form of the number of crimes committed and the coordinates of the cases. The attributes of the crime used consist of five parameters: theft, mistreatment, rape, women and child protection cases and fraud. The results of this study are clustering areas into 3 cluster and mapping prone areas that is safe area, safe enough area and prone area. From the overall crime data for 2019 in Purwakarta district, it was found that 68.75% was safe, 18.75% was quite safe and 12.5% was prone area.

ABSTRAK Indonesia adalah negara yang memiliki banyak variasi satwa yang tersebar di seluruh kepulauan dan memiliki keanekaragaman yang berbeda-beda. Namun, pada kenyataannya, kekayaan ini tidak diimbangi dengan kepedulian dan keingintahuan masyarakat mengenai keberadaan dan kelestariannya. Hal ini dapat disebabkan karena media yang menampung informasi satwa ini sangatlah sedikit. Jika hal ini dibiarkan berlarut-larut, maka lama kelamaan  keberadaan satwa tersebut akan menjadi punah. Dengan demikian diperlukan sebuah media yang mampu merekam data sebaran satwa yang di lindungi di Indonesia. Data satwa ini dapat berupa nama ilmiah dan lokasi satwa tersebut dipelihara. Oleh karena itu penelitian ini mengimplementasikan Sistem Informasi Geografis (SIG) berbasis Google API sebagai media yang mampu mendata sebaran satwa yang dilindungi oleh pemerintah Indonesia. Adanya SIG yang dapat merepresentasikan sebaran data satwa dalam bentuk peta dapat memudahkan pengaksesan informasi dan menampilkan lokasi mengenai sebaran satwa langka di Indonesia. SIG yang dibangun dalam penelitian ini memiliki tiga user yaitu administrator, lembaga konservasi yang berperan sebagai kontributor, dan masyarakat sebagai pengunjung web. Fitur yang dimiliki oleh SIG ini antara lain adalah fitur pencarian informasi satwa, pencarian lokasi satwa langka, dan penanda lokasi pada map.Kata kunci: Google API, Satwa Langka, Sistem Informasi Geografis. ABSTRACT Indonesia is a country that has a lot of variety of animals. In fact, they are scattered throughout the islands and has a big diversity in them. However, the wildlife animals were not a concern of the public at all. It can be caused by media that holds the information of this animal is not well. If this is allowed to drag on, then over time the number of these animals will become extinct. Because of this, it is needed to build a media that capable to recording data or information about the distribution of wildlife in Indonesia. This information can be their scientific name and where they lived. Therefore, this study implements a Geographic Information System (GIS) based Google API as a media that is able to record the distribution of species protected by the Indonesian government. GIS can presents the distribution of animals in maps. The SIG can be used by three users, that is administrator, conservation organizations as a contributor, and society as a web visitor. The features that we can use are searching wildlife information, searching location of endangered species, and marking location on the maps.Keywords: Geographic Information Systems, Google APIs, Rare Animals.
