1998) and surveys are commonly used for obtaining vast amounts of data in computer format, and this can be seen as one of the benefits of GIS (Maguire., 1991). GIS has the ability to take these sources of data and manipulate it to become vital information. Also, the advantages of using remote sensing as a data source can depict the changes of land use by observing the current and archived remote sensed data (Mustafa et al.,…

The science of information management is growing extremely important as international businesses are turning more complex with each passing year, and knowledge required to excel in the aforementioned field is also getting further involved. With my substantial professional background in computers and telecommunications, I have gained interest and turned out be skillful in this field. However, with each new assignment, the thorough knowledge of information management is becoming imperative. My…

As a new member of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, I have been assigned to do a GPS survey and a GIS analysis of the Kennedy Valley Trail (Sam Rayson Valley Trail) for the purpose of the development of the trail as there are no amenities in the trail. To get a general idea of how things are placed in a trail, I did a pre-survey on the trail west of Kennedy Rd. (Etobicoke Creek Trail) and found that it was quite undeveloped as well. Below is the data of how many light posts there…

are designed to cooperate and collaborate with systems, their bodies are organisms that work in cooperation. In fact, every aspect of biology is interdependent of each other. Interdisciplinary curriculums with an integrated learning approach (I-I), constitutes an exterior representation of our interior-natural functionality and consequently, a natural way of learning. An overall implementation of an (I-I) methodology in the American educational system will ensure students into seeing a more…

Geographic Information System (GIS) is a system that allows capturing, storing, checking, integrating, manipulating, analysing and displaying data which is spatially referenced to the earth (DoE, 1987). GIS is made up of two types of data, spatial data and attribute data. Spatial data refers to all types of data objects that represent geographical space; it allows locating anything in the world. Attribute data is the additional information about a spatial feature. GIS is a very powerful system…

current imagery needs of Soldiers at the tactical level are not being met with the current systems used by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). We have been working very closely with Digital globe and their EVWHS service and have found that their system is superior in every way to the NGA systems. The problem with other existing systems for obtaining imagery are centered on ease of access, system updates and site navigation. When existing imagery is too difficult to obtain for…

from the system, there could be concerns for cost allocation with the different treatments. If any mistakes are made while entering the data, it could lead to miscalculations concerning different treatment cost. While a misallocation of costs could occur in paying the providers who provide the treatments as well. The suppliers or providers may not get paid in time or the correct amount of money. Consequently, there might be a potential risk that they might refuse to work…

Geographers use a variety of maps because it helps us explain what goes on, on the Earth, see what the Earth will be like in the future, and research why the earth does things the way it does. Maps help us explain the weather, the patterns in geology, and other miscellaneous facts. They also help us see what we need to wear, and prepare for like tornados or hurricanes, even earthquakes. Lastly maps help us research why there are hot and cold days, what the average whether will be in a country or…
