This tutorial introduces you to geocoding with ArcGIS® Desktop. You will learn the basic techniques for creating address locators and geocoding with ArcGIS. Exercises 2 and 3 demonstrate some advanced features—using alternate names and place name aliases and creating a dynamic feature class that is related to the address table.

Some procedures in this tutorial require that you be familiar with using ArcCatalog™ and ArcMap™. For example, you should know how to copy data to a new location and add data to a map. You should also have a basic understanding of what a geodatabase is and the objects it can contain.

Abstract
Mangrove forests form one of the primary coastal ecosystems in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Mangrove ecosystems are very sensitive and fragile. The pressures of increasing population, and the resulting expansion of agriculture and industrial and urban development, have caused a significant proportion of the world’s mangroves to be destroyed. Reliable and timely information is therefore required in order to monitor and manage the remaining mangrove resources. This paper describes research to compare the ability of three different radar satellite imaging systems and three different optical satellite systems to detect mangrove deforestation in the delta of the Mahakam River, East Kalimantan, Indonesia.

Abstract
In 21th century, food problem may become much more serious due to the increasing world population. The number of nations importing grains continues to grow steadily. Since water resource is done of the most important limiting factor, quantitative analysis of available water resource is necessary to evaluate the potential growth of agricultural productivity that is enhanced by irrigation system.

ArcGIS is a system for people who rely on accurate geographic information to make decisions. It facilitates collaboration and lets you easily author data, maps, globes, and models on the desktop and serve them out for use on a desktop, in a browser, or in the field, depending on the needs of your organization.

ArcGIS helps you with

• Asset/data management including systems integration, claims/case management, service/territory area management, and constituent/customer management
• Planning and analysis such as forecasting and risk analysis
• Business operations such as call center/dispatching; monitoring and tracking; field data collection; inspections, maintenance and operations; and routing
• Situational awareness including decision support and customer/public access
