Technology has penetrated every aspect of life and it proceeds with the aim of facilitating people's lives. Geographical information systems as a part of the developing technology provide services in every area with different forms. One of these areas is museology. The desire to make visual and written information and cultural heritage that are presented by museums with auditory and interactive experiences has brought together digital technologies and cultural and historical activities. From this point of view, the “Müze Asist” is a remarkable application in terms of the fact that it is a local app and in use in most of the museums in Turkey and the convenience provided for all tourists who want to visit a museum, especially for those who prefer self-guided tours. This chapter may be a guide to its objects and to the next researchers.

Since 2004, the Cicrp: &ldquo;Centre Interr&eacute;gional de Conservation et Restauration du Patrimoine&rdquo;, located in Marseilles has been involved in an interdisciplinary research program dealing with infestation and re-infestation, on lining pastes used in painting conservation, by the <em>Stegobium paniceum</em> through a GIS system : a geographical information system called &ldquo;StegoGIS&rdquo;. The GIS helps understand the insects ethology in its environmental context, mainly in flour and semolina millings in order to determine analysis criteria to prevent, mitigate and fight infestation in the cultural property environment. Our approach is based on three main lines: 1- A transverse approach of infestation in any type of cultural heritage institution: archives, libraries, museums, historic buildings where organic material collections and environment are attractive on an &ldquo;insect point of view&rdquo;. 2 &ndash;An IPM strategy (Integrated Pest Management) including conservation and management of collections and buildings also based on an infestation survey with actual or potential risks. 3- A &ldquo;decision- making tool&rdquo; in diagnosis, preventing methods and treatments for professional conservation staff.

Mobility of individuals and their physical social networks are the root causes for the spread of current coronavirus pandemic. We propose here a method of visualizing the spatial and chronological aspects of the spread of this virus based on geographical information systems (GIS) and Gephi graphs. For this approach we used qualitative data from newspaper reports and prepared layouts varying from macro to micro scales that show that this approach can enrich traditional GIS approaches, thereby assisting mobility planners and policymakers.

E-mail: [email protected]  1 RESUMO  Esse trabalho objetivou a elaboração da carta de capacidade de uso das terras do Município de São Manuel - SP, visando o planejamento adequado da ocupação do solo, utilizado-se de Sistema de Informação Geográfica (SIG).  A bacia situa-se entre as coordenadas geográficas  22º 28’ 20” e 22º 53’ 10” de latitudes S e os meridianos 48º 21’ 52” e 48º 48’ 00” de longitudes W Gr., apresentando uma área de 60.988ha.   O mapa de capacidade de uso da terra do município foi elaborado a partir dos mapas de classes de declive e de solo, tomando-se por base as características de cada um e utilizando-se da tabela de julgamento de classes de capacidade de uso.  As áreas da classe e subclasses de capacidade de uso das terras determinadas pelo SIG –IDRISI foram:  IIe,s (22,64%); IIIe (8,62%); IIIe,s (15,83%); IIIs (29,97%); IVe (10,82%); VIe (3,95%) e VIIe (0,96%).  Os resultados permitiram inferir que as subclasses mais significativas foram a IIIs e IIe,s.  As classes de declive de 0 a 20% ocorrem em mais de ¾ do Município, sendo as áreas planas, as mais representativas, pois ocorrem em quase 1/3 da área total.  O SIG mostrou-se uma excelente ferramenta para determinação da capacidade de uso da terra, demonstrando que a utilização do geoprocessamento facilita e agiliza o cruzamento dos dados digitais, permitindo seu armazenamento, que poderão ser utilizados para outras análises em futuros planejamentos geoambientais.  UNITERMOS: Sistema de Informações Geográficas, unidades de solo, classes  de declive, capacidade de uso da terra   DELMANTO JUNIOR, O.; CAMPOS S.; CARDOSO, L.G.; BARROS, Z.X. LAND USE CAPABILITY DETERMINATION OF SÃO MANUEL MUNICIPALITY-SP   2 ABSTRACT  The present work purposed a land use capability chart development from São Manuel Municipality-SP using a Geographical Information System - Idrisi aiming to contribute for a better territorial organization and soil occupation planning. The basin is located in the 22º 28’ 20” geographical co-ordinates at 22º 53’ 10” S latitude, 48º 21’ 52” and 48º 48’ 00” meridian of W Gr. longitude, presenting an area of 9180,12ha.  The chart of the basin land use capability was elaborated from the soil and sloping class charts based on each one characteristics and using the class table of use capability. The class and subclass areas determined through the Geographical Information System IDRISI presented the following values: IIe,s (22,64%), IIIe (8,62%), IIIe,s (15,83%), IIIs (29,97%), IVe (10,82%), VIe (3,95%) and VIIe (0,96%).  The results allowed to infer that the most significant sub classes were IIIs and IIe,s. The 0 to 20% sloping classes have occurred in more than ¾ of the district. Plane areas were the most significant since they occur in nearly 1/3 of the whole area. The Geographical Information System IDRISI has been an excellent tool to determine land use capability, specially related with geo-processing use. The later also facilitates the input, analysis and display of spatial environmental information as well as data digital storage which could be used for other analyses in further geo-environmental design.  KEYWORDS: Geoprocessing, land-use capability, Geographical Information Systems.

It is recognized that 80% of data have a spatial component (ex. street address, place name, geographic coordinates, map coordinates). Having the possibilities to display data on maps, to compare maps of different phenomena or epochs, and to combine maps with tables and statistical charts allows one to get more insights into spatial datasets. Furthermore, performing fast spatio-temporal analysis, interactively exploring the data by drilling on maps similarly to drilling on tables and charts, and easily synchronizing such operations among these views is nowadays required by more and more users. This can be done by combining Geographical Information Systems (GIS) with On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP), paving the way to “SOLAP” (Spatial OLAP). The present chapter focuses on the spatial characteristics of SOLAP from a geomatics engineering point of view: concepts, architectures, tools and remaining challenges.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a framework of introducing a proper method to document and to analyze conservation process of cultural heritage in Bursa, known as one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Turkey and to discuss challenges in use of geographical information systems (GIS) for assessment of a complex data collected and analyzed during different phases of the historic researches. Design/methodology/approach A systematic approach is used to understand relations between theoretical and practical processes of heritage conservation in Bursa. Due to the complicated structure of input data, GIS was used as the major tool in illustration of cultural heritage in various spatial scales, while providing connection between different timelines of its urban history. Within this concept, at first, conservation history of cultural heritage in Bursa is briefly described. Second, four stages of the method, used to make reliable and convenient assessment, are given. Finally, facilities and challenges in using this system are discussed in relation with the results achieved. Findings As a result of this study, both chronological and spatial distribution of all types of conservation practices are described in related with theoretical and legal aspects. There appear both advantages and limitations in use of GIS, during assessment of input data to understand conservation history of Bursa. Originality/value Therefore, it would be possible to see if it is adequate to understand the complicated structure of such kind of overlapped sources in a systematic way of information management system.
