Aid Decision

This work aims to create a decision support and geographic information system aimed at optimizing the management of forest capital in the Adrar region. Through this awareness, we question the place of geographic information in the dialogue process and the approach to sustainable development. Cadastral data, satellite images, cartographic and photographic data will be presented. Data processing and data integration will be discussed. The expected results must provide knowledge beyond reach without these tools. They clarify the importance of satellite images and the spatial component of geographic information. In the current context of sustainable development, geographic information appears necessary for decision-making.

Foram avaliados diversos parâmetros morfométricos como coeficiente de compacidade, índice de circularidade, densidade de drenagem, ordem dos cursos d’água, comprimento total dos cursos d’água e o uso e ocupação da terra. A bacia possui de 520,7ha e tendo o formato alongada, favorecendo o escoamento superficial, maior energia erosiva e baixa propensão a ocorrência de inundações. Os elementos físicos apresentam conservados devido a Área de Proteção Ambiental (APA), assegurando a sua preservação O uso e ocupação da terra compreendem em área urbana, sedes rurais, estrada rural, área agrícola, pastagem e vegetação natural, sendo o uso mais significante a vegetação natural (470 ha) representa 90,2%, seguido pela pastagem (40 ha) no total de 7,68% da área total da bacia hidrográfica. Tais resultados auxiliaram na decisão do planejamento e gerenciamento dos recursos naturais, diante das legislações ambientais.   Palavras-chaves: Sistema de Informação Geográfica, morfometria, conservação ambiental.   MORPHOMETRIC EVALUATION AND USE AND LAND OCCUPATION OF SANTO ANTONIO WATERSHED - SAO FRANCISCO XAVIER (SP)   ABSTRACT: The aim of this work was to map the land use,occupation classes and morphometric analysis of the Santo Antonio stream watershed, in Sao Francisco Xavier district, Sao Jose dos Campos, Sao Paulo, using the Geographic Information System (GIS) - ArcGIS version 10.3, the topographic map of the municipality of Monteiro Lobato-SP and orthophotos of Mapeia Sao Paulo project. Several morphometric parameters were evaluated as compactness coefficient, circularity index, drainage density, order of watercourses, watercourses total length , land use and occupation. The watershed has 520.7 ha and your elongated shape favor superficial runoff, higher erosive energy and low flooding propensity. Physical elements are conserved due Environmental Protection Area (APA), ensuring their preservation. The land use and occupation comprises urban an rural areas, rural roads, agricultural areas, pastures and natural vegetation. From the total of watershed area, natural vegetation (470 ha) represents 90.2%, followed by pasture (40 ha) totaling 7.68% . Based on environmental legislation, these results helped in the decision of planning and management of the natural resources.   Keywords: Geographic Information System, morphometry, environmental conservation.

Epidemiological Characteristics

Introduction: It is generally accepted that cutaneous leishmaniasis is considered as an important health problem all over the world which is caused by leishmaniasis protozoan. This disease is also known as a health problem in some regions of Iran including Bushehr province. The present study investigated the geographical dispersion and the epidemiological characteristics of subjects with the cutaneous leishmaniasis in this province from 2011 to 2015. Method: In this cross-sectional and analytical study, the epidemiologic data including the age, gender, residential area, and counties with this disease was analyzed and collected from 663 patients who were followed up and treated from 2011 to 2015. Results: 422 (63.7%) of studied people were residents of urban areas and 241 (36.3%) lived in rural areas. 59.4% (394 people) were male and 40.6% (269) were female. The mean age of the subjects was 21.91± 17.01 (ranging from 1 to 80). Kangan County with an average 5-year incidence of 17.72 per a hundred thousand people had the highest incidence, but Tangestan County with the incidence of 8.47 per a hundred thousand people had the lowest average incidence. Based on GIS results, Jam County, which was not recognized as the focus of this disease in the past, has been considered as a new focus of disease in recent years. Conclusion: The geographic information system (GIS) is regarded as an effective tool for the organization of diseases and health data. The crisis can be identified and controlled by taking proper measures with the discovery of spatial accumulation of diseases.

Mexico is a country that requires the construction and expansion of infrastructure to increase the competitiveness of its economy. Building this highly competitive logistic platform has had an impact on Mexico’s cultural and social heritage. In the State of Morelos, the municipalities of Cuernavaca and Jiutepec considered that sustainable development could be integrated with heritage preservation at the time of land use plans’ designing and adoption. Hereby described, a geographic information system-based predictive model, differentiating areas by their potential for different types of resources, is suggested as a solution to protect Mexico’s heritage within a uniform permitting and compliance process.

Gis Environment

The geographic information system (GIS) has been demonstrated to be an effective tool for transportation forecasting and scenario analysis. Previous efforts have linked full-function GIS packages with transportation forecasting models. Tools developed to provide a modeling environment more appropriate for the technical knowledge level and budget requirements of small urban or rural areas are described. Specifically, the needs of metropolitan planning organizations and regional planning affiliations in Iowa were considered in the system design. A desktop mapping package, MAPINFO, is integrated with an urban transportation planning model, TRANPLAN, to provide an interface for network analysis. With the system, network modifications and changes representing alternative demand scenarios are made in the GIS environment, and data are exported to the TRANPLAN format, and, after analysis, returned to the GIS for effective presentation of results. User tools were tested and a case study demonstrating alternatives analysis and display capabilities is presented. Although developed and tested for Des Moines, the system can easily be transferred to other agencies to enhance transportation planning capabilities.

System Project

Sustainable development is the challenge of the 21st century, and public administration will play a part in finding new ways of meeting human needs within the constraints of natural resource systems. The nature of sustainable development has led to expanded forms of governance and new partnerships among non-governmental organizations (NGOs), non-profits, and governments at all levels. This paper examines a participatory geographic information system project being developed in Copan Ruinas, Honduras and its effect on the community stakeholders. pecifically, the participatory geographic information system project will focus on the development of a geodatabase and usable maps that integrate: small-scale (less than five hectares on average) agroforestry projects, and highland habitat restoration projects. During this research, we will focus on the geographic information system project, public participation and how the project meets the standards of the International Association for Public Participation (IAP2) pillars of participation and core values.
