This short paper presents an example of integration between open source Geographical Information System (GIS) and Agent Based Model (ABM) in order to better simulate fishing activities on Iroise Sea (Brittany, France). This work makes part of the SIMARIS project: a simulation prototype that integrate multi-source and multi-scale spatiotemporal constraints as forcing variable in order to assess the intensity and the variability of marine activities. A pre-processing step, executed in batch in GRASS GIS, aims to calculate data for initialization and simulation step, then the Agent Based simulation is launched (in batch) on GAMA platform. All these operations are scheduled in a Python script to perform pre-processing and simulation. The work presents an example of integration from a geographical point of view. The technical improvements are detailed and the potentials of such integrated solution are discussed.

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.

Nowadays, Technologiy is growing rapidly computer the one of example of technology, helps the human being to fulfill their need of  information. The development of  information technology and computer make the data more regular and can be seen better and faster and also make the updating data easier for example geographical information system. The development of geographical is information system in technology have create wide potention in its application in the agriculture’s sector for example doserve the condition and the growth of plants substances. The write used data interpolation and ModelBuilder method as the design of the study. Data interpolation was used to make a continue grid of theme of the shapefile  point of the data, where as ModelBuilder was a collection of processes which was done on spacial data to procedure certain information in the form of the map. The data which were used in this study were spacial data that Java Province’s map in the form of shapefile and non special data that were climate data including rainfall, temperature and humidity and the appropriateness of mangosteen angoclimate’s data. The data showed that the appropriateness of agroclimate for mangosteen plant in west Java Province’s was dominated by S2 in therm of  climate point of view.   Keywords: geographical information system (SIG), Mangostenn (gatcinia mangostana linn), Agroclimate, West Java Privince’s, ModelBuilder.

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.

Nowadays, in many countries around the world, abandoned railways are considered as important resources that can be recovered and converted into greenways, thanks to their specific adaptability to this function. With its about 1000 km of dismantled lines, Sicily is the Italian region where the abandonment of railways is more evident. Nevertheless, to the present day, only about 20 km have been converted in greenways. As a recovery action requires large investments, it is necessary to determine a priority list based on the actual suitability of a track to be converted. Therefore, the aim of this paper was to define and apply a methodology, based on multi-criteria analysis associated with geographical information system (GIS), for the assessment of different suitability degrees of an abandoned railway to be converted in greenway for agro-touristic and cultural use of the land. The work was developed on two abandoned railway lines, sited in the province of Syracuse, embedded in landscapes of great value thanks to the existence of natural areas and cultural heritage. The applied method attributes great importance to the quality of the landscape that is considered in the same way as the intrinsic characteristics of the track. Several indicators were weighed and spatially mapped to describe the local resources at the margin of the track and the characteristics of the stretches of the two lines. The GIS analysis allowed obtaining various intermediate maps containing the necessary information for drawing the ultimate maps, which showed the suitability of each line to be converted in greenway. The results showed that the suitability level depends on the specific characteristics of the railroad and its marginal values, as well as on the quality of the landscape and the development opportunities that it offers. The creation of greenways can thus become a support to make easier the integration between the landscape and the growing demands of land, economic and tourist development, while maintaining intact the rural land and favoring its connection with the urban centers. The study, although referred to specific territorial areas, is generally valid from a methodological point of view and can be applied in other contexts.
