Management-Oriented Upgrade and Construction of Urban Green Space Management System in Wuxi

With the widespread application of Geographic Information System (GIS) technology in urban green space management system, the refinement of greening management puts forward the demand for upgrading the system. Taking the construction of urban green space management system in Wuxi as an example, this paper reverses the conventional operation of building database before system, and puts forward the method of management-oriented system upgrading. Through the research on the status quo of urban greening management, starting from the analysis of management requirements, the management requirements are transformed into system design requirements, so that the system upgrade is guided by the urban greening management requirements. It solves the problems of large amount of and time-consuming data input during the upgrading and construction of the system, which leads to long process and data lag when it is put into use. After the rapid upgrade, along with the refinement of daily management, the system has been continuously improved, and has received good results in the depth and breadth of data.

The Spatial Model of Paddy Productivity Based on Environmental Vulnerability in Each Phase of Paddy Planting

The national primary always growth and increase in line with the increase in population, such as the rise of rice consumption in Indonesia. Paddy productivity influenced by the physical condition of the land and the declining of those factors can detected from the environmental vulnerability parameters. Purpose of this study was to compile a spatial model of paddy productivity based on environmental vulnerability in each planting phase using the remote sensing and GIS technology approaches. This spatial model is compiled based on the results of the application of two models, namely spatial model of paddy planting phase and paddy productivity. The spatial model of paddy planting phase obtained from the analysis of vegetation index from Sentinel-2A imagery using the random forest classification model. The variables for building the spatial model of the paddy planting phase are a combination of NDVI vegetation index, EVI, SAVI, NDWI, and time variables. The overall accuracy of the paddy planting phase model is 0.92 which divides the paddy planting phase into the initial phase of planting, vegetative phase, generative phase, and fallow phase. The paddy productivity model obtained from environmental vulnerability analysis with GIS using the linear regression method. The variables used are environmental vulnerability variables which consist of hazards from floods, droughts, landslides, and rainfall. Estimation of paddy productivity based on the influence of environmental vulnerability has the best accuracy done at the vegetative phase of 0.63 and the generative phase of 0.61 while in the initial phase of planting cannot be used because it has a weak relationship with an accuracy of 0.35.

An Integrated Study of the Yamuna River Basin to Set Up a Reference Condition Using an Archival Data Set of the 20th Century by Geospatial Technology

The River Yamuna is one of the most prominent and sacred rivers of India. Due to the unaccounted discharge from many anthropogenic activities and industrialization in the basin, the deterioration of the river with respect to time is at its maximum. Periodical analysis is essential for remediation of the causes and the source. The study has been undertaken using GIS technology to understand the variations being taken place in the past decades. The transformation in the physical and geographical characteristics, during the years since 1980-81, of the Yamuna River Basin has been analyzed and converted into digital GIS domain in terms of maps and charts. The reference condition of the basin has been set up and utilized in order to identify the change in land use and land cover of the river premises around Delhi and its neighbouring states. The vegetation analysis with respect to climatic conditions and water quality deterioration has also been assessed in the present study.

The Establishing of Geospatial Database for Agricultural Lands of Islamic WAQF In Iraq: Case Study Babil Province

In numerous countries, one of the most significant pieces of background records is a religious endowment that usually called (WAQF), which have a cultural, and economic value. For instance, in Iraq, religious endowments comprise a large number of dispersed real estates and lands usually required effective administration methods. Agricultural lands that belonged to religious endowments lack of sufficient systems, which are combined statistical and spatial information in terms of spatial monitoring and informatics updating such as ownership and existing condition. Recently, geospatial techniques such as GIS showed a feasibility in the management of information belonged to lands management. Therefore, in this study we proposed a method based on GIS technology for the management of lands of Islamic endowments in Babil province, Iraq. The proposed methodology included the integration between field works using GPS equipment and Geospatial database. The developed database is considered as the first geodatabase related to the agricultural lands of the religious endowment in Iraq included almost all coordinates and specific details for each piece of agricultural lands that owned by the endowment. Furthermore, the output geodatabase is a flexible database included various features like query, search, and statistical computation.

Mapping of Plant-Parasitic Nematode Using GIS Technology in Tainal Watershed, Sulaimaniyah Province, Iraq

The present experiment was conducted to evaluate soil samples which had been taken from depths ranging from 0-30 cm in greenhouses planted with different vegetables such as cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers and eggplants in 24 agricultural sites in 19 villages. GIS application was used to make maps showing the results of a field survey that was conducted. The experiment was conducted for an area of 12 km2 in the Tainal Plain, west of Sulaimaniyah Province. Nearly 30% of the soil of the greenhouses were heavily infected. Plant analysis showed that the characteristics of ash, fat and moisture were significantly affected as a result of infection with nematodes. The spread of root-knot nematode juveniles in the villages of Al-Mahmoudia, Kani Pengsharma and Kani Shaya was 706, 695 and 622 per 250 g of soil. In tissues of the studied plants, the highest nitrogen content was 68.2 mg in Ziyeka, 60.4 mg in Gawani and 59.7 mg in Ali Bzaw. Phosphorus concentrations were highest in Kani Shaya, Shwankara and Ziyeka (25.5, 25.3 and 23.1 mg, respectively). Warmizyar had 91.8 mg of potassium, Kani Shaya had 78.6 mg and Kani Big had 71.6 mg. The calcium concentrations in Ziyeka, Gawani and Mewk were 54.5, 48.4 and 47.7 mg, respectively.

Study about Tuberculosis in Thailand: An approach to Treatment, GIS and Sichon Model

In this study, we seek to identify geographical areas where ongoing tuberculosis epidemiological characteristics is occurring by linking Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology in Thailand. In addition, we seek to assess how the directly observed treatment short-course (DOTS) program improved new tuberculosis diagnosis and treatment successes in Sichon District, Nakhon Si Thammarat province, Thailand from 2014 to 2016. The assessment program included seven indicators, and the results revealed that 73 new cases of tuberculosis were admitted for treatment on average every year, with rates of risk group screening findings of 4.28, 5.23, and 6.04 %, respectively. Patients who come to the hospital for diagnosis make up most of the demographic. However, only a minor proportion of patients are identified through community-based primary screening. In the years 2013-2016, the mortality rate of TB cases is expected to rise by 10.25 %, 4.25 %, and 5.56 %, respectively. The elderly and HIV-positive patients comprise most of the TB mortality population. When completing the DOTS program at a hospital, however, the rate of success has fallen short of the targets. Furthermore, the screening technique excludes the target group. As a result, people suffering tuberculosis are reported to be slower and more susceptible to symptoms. As a result, researchers advise that the DOTS program be supported by enhancing treatment follow-up to improve the effectiveness of TB treatment and collaboration with health care worker (HCW).
