Finding a restaurant location as a place to enjoy food becomes something that is very inconvenient, especially for tourists or food connoisseurs who are not familiar with the area. It takes several tools, especially the use of Android-based smartphones as an operating system that is very popular with the public lately. This research is expected to make it easier for users to find food in restaurants that users want. The use of this system is divided into two, namely admin and user (general users). This system is integrated with the existing GPS on the smartphone. This application also shows the distance traveled and time traveled by motorbike or car to the location and displays an estimate if using public transportation.

Activist Archaeology

In response to concerns regarding the social relevance of North American archaeology, it has been suggested that the tenets of ‘activist scholarship’ can provide a framework for a more publically engaged archaeological discipline. Maps have long been employed in the public dissemination of archaeological research results, but they can also play a role in enhancing public participation in heritage management initiatives. This article outlines how the goals of activist archaeology can be achieved through the mobilization of qualitative Geographic Information Systems practices, with an example of how ‘grounded visualization’ methods were employed in assessing the vulnerability of Inuvialuit cultural landscapes to the impacts of modern climate change.

Across the public sector, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and spatial analysis are increasingly ubiquitous when making decisions involving people and places. However, historically GIS has not been prevalently applied to the various types of impact assessment. As such, this paper presents findings from a survey conducted in 2011 of 100 local authorities in England to examine how embedded GIS, spatial analysis and visualisation practices are to the process of conducting impact assessments. The results show that despite obvious advantages of applying GIS in these processes, applications employing basic techniques are at best sporadic, and where advanced methods are implemented, these in almost all instances are conducted by external contractors, thus illustrating a significant GIS under capacity within the sampled local authorities studied.

The urban evolution of Florence in the first thirteen centuries of its history is delineated here via a census of the archaeological finds, starting from those documented in the second half of the nineteenth century. The information has been organised and analysed through the use of Geographic Information Systems. The finds have been broken down by period and in terms of function, so as to describe, where possible, the evolution of the buildings and the public spaces and the changes in ways of living and approaches to burial, defence and production over the course of time. The Florentine data are considered within the regional and Italian framework mapped by archaeological research over the last few decades. Theme maps created using GIS further enhance the understanding of the text.

Background: Analyzing and visualizing health-related databases using Geographic Information Systems (GISs) becomes essential in controlling many public health problems.Objectives: To explore the perception and preferences of public health professionals (PHPs) about the usability of GISs in public health fieldMethods: For this scoping review, the investigators searched Medline Ovid, PubMed, IEEE, Scopus, and GeoBase databases. A total of 105 articles were identified.  Nine articles met the inclusion criteria.Results: Iterative evaluations, training, and involvement of GIS end users are productive in GIS usability. More methodologies are needed to support the validity of GIS usability studies. The exchange of GIS technology impacts public health policy and research positively.Discussion: PHPs are aware of the use of GISs in the public health field, and the exchange of visualized health data in determining inequalities and inaccessibility issues.Conclusion: GISs are essential to control public health problems, if the related health datasets are analyzed carefully and if the mapping reports are extensively evaluated and interpreted. Keywords:  Geographic Information systems, GIS, Public Health, Usability

While critical attention has recently turned to racialized police violence in US cities, another quiet development in urban policing is taking place. Hundreds of police departments have begun to wed database software with geographic information systems to represent crime cartographically. Focusing on the Chicago police’s digital mapping application, CLEARmap, the article interprets this development from the standpoint of racialized carceral power. It puts critical geographic information systems theory into discussion with critical ethnic studies and builds the case that CLEARmap does not passively “read” urban space, but provides ostensibly scientific ways of reading and policing negatively racialized fractions of surplus labor in ways that reproduces, and in some instances extends the tentacles of carceral power. CLEARmap’s data structure ensures that negatively racialized fractions of surplus labor, the places they inhabit, and the social problems that afflict them are only representable to state authorities and the public as objects of policing and punishment. CLEARmap is also used at police–community meetings and via the Internet to adapt public perceptions of crime to that of the policing apparatus, and mobilize the public as appendages of police surveillance. By tracing these phenomena, the article casts a heretofore untheorized dimension of the carceral power into sharp relief.

Geographic information systems (GIS) is a information system of processing and presention the data about the geographic condition into a range of accurate information. A specialist is a health worker who runs an important task in the Health, they are called specialists as because they in a specific area. Many people do not know the location of practices specialist, whether it is in Lamongan and Gresik, especially the people who live far from urban areas. With the problem, it is required system to inform the location of specialist practice and pharmacies in Gresik and Lamongan to facilitate good the people of the native or newcomers and wherever they are. In the development of this applications uses the Android operating system which is one of the most popular mobile phone operating system today, combined with the utilization of geographic information systems is certainly efficient for answering those questions. The utilization of Google Map API will certainly be very helpful in giving information on the location of the doctor and the pharmacies because the users can easily see the directions to the nearest way so it can be done more quickly, then the researcher makes the system with the title Geographic Information System Of Specialist Practice Location And The Pharmacies Suggested In Lamongan And Gresik Regency Based On Android.

Management Decision Making

Geographic information systems emerged in the 1970s and have become significant decision-making tools as their capabilities have been enhanced. This chapter includes a brief discussion of various GIS applications and a more detailed discussion of issues that public managers should consider when evaluating implementation of a geographic information system. GIS applications provide benefits at the basic level in terms of producing maps efficiently, at the planning level through the use of database applications, and at the management decision-making level through an ability to access relational databases for policy-level decisions. In considering the capacity of GIS in the public sector, concise definitions of the major application theories—vector and raster—are offered to provide a basic understanding of the analytical process and GIS toolkit aspects. Issues impacting GIS implementation include needs assessment, project planning, access to public records, liability issues, public and private partnerships, dissemination of information, and privacy issues. Public managers should be aware of difficulties associated with justification of costs associated with GIS implementation and that a hesitancy exists on the part of GIS program managers to share missteps and implementation failures.

The formation of land parcels for the constructing of linear structures today is associated with a number of difficulties caused by the lack of regulatory documents for solving such problems, the location of sites in several cadastral districts with different coordinate systems and other causes. Therefore, their formation today is impossible without modern software, which would enable reducing the complexity of such work and eliminate errors in the final result. The author describes the experience of using modern programs for the formation of land parcels at constructing linear structures on the example of the designed Moscow – Kazan railway route. The ways of automated acquisition and processing geospatial information from the public cadastral map environment, vectorization of the obtained data and its processing in the environment of geographic information systems for solving applied tasks are shown. The article may be useful to design engineers, cadastral engineers, as well as all specialists in the field of geodesy and geoinformatics.
