The social, economics and environmental problems that arise by the fast and inadequate occupation of the coastal zones have required faster decisions and belter rational use of the public administration resources. This work shows the utilization of Geographical Information System IDRISI to environmental planning of Rio Grande county, southern Brazil. Based on digital thematic maps of geology, soils, vegetation. urban sites, legal protection areas and previous knowledge about the ecosystem under consideration, the more appropriated areas for agricultural activities, pine and eucalyptus forestry and waste disposal were mapped. The suitable environmental conditions and the technical and/or environmental restrictions were analysed for each item and then modelled in the computer using the analytical tools of the software. Furthermore, the legal protection areas were classified in conservation and preservation categories according to their environmental characteristics. The results demonstrated the potentiality and feasibility of a Geographical Information System as a powerful tool for organi13tion, analysis and decision making on municipal planning.

Este artigo visa apresentar o recorte da pesquisa de mestrado sobre a identificação de espaços livres potenciais para a implantação de praças e parques urbanos da cidade média de Santa Maria (Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil). Através do uso de ferramentas de um Sistema de Coordenadas Geográficas, a análise sistêmica de geodados espaciais (cartográficos) e alfanuméricos (tabulares) é utilizada para analisar a espacialização e cruzamento de parâmetros ambientais, de equipamentos comunitários e de informações socioeconômicas existentes na cidade. A partir do cruzamento de informações sobre os raios de atendimento de praças e parques com dados de população e renda, pode-se delimitar onde existem déficits de áreas de lazer e recreação na cidade. A análise dos resultados permite avançar em uma proposta geral de diretrizes que devem estar de acordo com as deficiências, condicionantes e potencialidades de cada região de Santa Maria, a fim de que esses equipamentos sejam implantados no futuro por meio de estratégias urbanísticas e que sejam preservados a partir de um eficiente sistema de gestão e manutenção.

Snatch theft incidents are on the rise in Malaysia especially in the cities. It tends to happen in cities because there is a possibility to commit it and both crime and urban are often associated with each other. The aim of this paper is to find out whether the building with two or more levels in urban area contributes to the snatch theft incidents. The present study has been taken up to detect the hotspots of snatch theft in Selangor, Malaysia. The crime data were obtained by requesting and analysing the index crime statistical data from the Royal Malaysian Police (RMP). This study made use of the Geographical Information System (GIS) where its 3D modelling function to construct, assess and analyse the area with high snatch theft cases. The crime reports of 2010 until 2015 were geocoded and the crime maps were prepared in ArcGIS 10.2. It was found that the hotspot area is a mix-used development area which consists mainly of commercial and residential areas of more than two-level buildings.
