Mapping cognitive landscape perception is hindered by the difficulty of representing opinions that are spatially distributed in a heterogeneous way or not restricted by the locations of physical elements in the landscape. In recent years, the use of tools based on geographic information techniques has gained momentum in landscape assessment. We propose a methodology for generalizing cognitive landscape opinions on a spatial basis. To this end, we used a public participatory geographic information system to collect data, which is a method based on bipolar adjectives to approach users’ opinions, and the inverse distance weighted spatial interpolator and multi-criteria evaluation to undertake the spatial analysis. The study was conducted in the Ebro Delta, which is a protected wetland in northeastern Spain. The assessment was based on 1593 georeferenced opinions and resulted in a continuous geographic map of 330 km2 depicting positive and negative perceptions about the landscape. The area under study was perceived as productive, interesting, attractive, and, for the most part, quiet and peaceful, although it was seen as dirty in some parts. The method successfully mapped cognitive landscape opinions and establishes a novel procedure in landscape approaches.

The characteristics of the crime of serial homicide are examined, the concept of geographic profiling is presented, and the application of geographic information system (GIS)-based spatial analysis techniques to the investigation of serial homicide investigation are discussed in this chapter. The case of serial killer Robert Yates, in which geospatial technologies played a prominent part, is detailed.

Physical conditions of seawater in coastal area can be studied by sampling at several locations. To perform spatial analysis, the data should be interpolated to get the values between sample points. Several approaches for interpolation may result in different outcomes. The purpose of this research is to compare Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) and Kriging methods. Their parameters are studied using the total suspended sediments in Maros area, South Sulawesi. The results show that the more accurate interpolation is obtained by using IDW method than using Kriging method.

<p class="judulabsIndo"><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p><p class="abstrakindo">The coast of Brebes is an important area for fishing activities. Along the coast of Brebes, there are mangrove conservation areas which part of green belt development program of Java Northern Coast. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of salinity and temperature to the water quality conditions by employing a spatial analysis method. The measurement of water quality conducted by employing <em>purposive sampling method</em>. The sampling data was taken in the same time of 1 tide condition which forecasted before. The data were analyzed statistically and spatially using <em>inverse distance weighted</em> analysis. Temperature values ranged from 29.4 to 31.8 °C, conductivity ranged from 3.53 – 4.71 S.m<sup>-1</sup> with, pH ranged from 8.04 to 8.52, DO ranged from 3.18 to 6.57 mg.L<sup>-1</sup>, salinity ranged between 22.9 – 32.8 ‰, the value of salinity, temperature, and water quality parameters showed that the distribution is not uniform. It is influenced by the physical dynamics of sea water, which has an severe impact on the environment changes. Salinity and temperature have an impact to conductivity and DO variability but they are not affect the pH value. DO and pH value is higher than the previous research in Brebes waters.</p><pre><strong>Keywords: </strong>brebes<strong>, </strong>coastal, spatial analysis, water quality</pre><p class="judulabsINgg"><strong> ABSTRAK</strong></p><p class="abstrakingg">Pesisir Brebes merupakan kawasan yang penting bagi aktivitas perikanan. Disepanjang pantai Brebes terdapat kawasan konservasi mangrove yang merupakan program pembangunan kawasan sabuk hijau Pantai Utara Jawa. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh salinitas dan temperature terhadap kondisi kualitas perairan dengan menggunakan analisis spasial. Pengukuran sampel air dilakukan dengan metode purposive sampling, pengambilan data berdasarkan peramalan pasang surut. Analisa data dilakukan secara statistic dan spasial dengan menggunakan analisa inverse distance weighted. Nilai suhu berkisar antara 29.8 – 31.8°C, konduktivitas berkisar antara 3.53 – 4.71 S.m<sup>-1</sup>, pH berkisar antara 8,52 – 8,04, DO berkisar antara 3.18 – 6.57 mg.L<sup>-1</sup>, salinitas berkisar antara 22.9 – 32.8 ‰. Nilai dari salinitas, temperature dan parameter kualitas perairan menunjukkan bahwa sebaran konsentrasinya tidak merata yang dipengaruhi oleh dinamika fisis air laut dan keberadaan sungai-sungai utama yang berdampak pada perubahan lingkungan. Salinitas dan temperature memiliki dampak terhadap variasi konduktivitas dan DO, namun tidak terlalu berpengaruh terhadap nilai pH. DO dan pH mengalami peningkatan konsentrasi bila dibandingkan dengan penelitian sebelumnya di perairan Brebes.</p><p><strong><em>Kata Kunci:</em></strong><em> analisis spasial, brebes, kualitas air, pesisir, pencemaran </em></p>
