Abstract:
Malaria has been found in the vast areas in different regions of the world. Particularly many people in the tropical and subtropical regions suffer from this disease. 40 percent of the earth’s population lives in zones where malaria exists. In Iran, Malaria is one of the main public health concerns mostly in south and southeast regions of the country. Malaria outbreak is profoundly correlates with the environmental and climatic conditions of a region. Read more »

The Cities are like trees; both of them grow under natural limits. These limits affect in the formulation of a city’s master plan. The historical urban development of cities is usually used for defining the main direction of a city’s development. One of the objectives of any master plan is to guide urban development by studing the natural properties of the city borders and to determine a suitable direction of city growth.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to provide a set of guidelines by which health information system can be refocused using GIS as a monitoring tool to improve the timeliness, quality, access and use of Health Management information. This exercise also shows that an alternative way of improving the flow of Health management information is to dedicate resources specifically to co-ordinate access, use and ongoing development of relevant information.

A Case Study of Trabzon, Turkey
Abstract
Forming a cancer control program and putting strategic action plans into practice became an important matter for the health industry. Especially in cancer cases, the correlation of variations in different societies and environmental factors should be examined spatially with reliable data. To achieve this, cancer occurrence density maps have to be created. In this study, a database was built with the ability of GIS to examine the distribution of cancer cases, and maps relating to cancer events in allocation units were created. The Trabzon province of Turkey has been used as a case study. Read more »

Abstract
One of the main challenges faced by countries, especially small island states, during an oil spill combat is the identification of vulnerable coastal locations. The lack of precise information of this nature has often led to the inappropriate use of combat materials and response strategies.

INTRODUCTION:-
Rivers of Asian continent are the chief transporting agents of continental weathering products as they supply about 30% of the global sediment input to the world’s ocean. The Indus and Ganges- Brahmaputra rivers contribute as much as 20% of the global sediment input Ganges River is placed as the third largest transporting river in the world. The investigation of sediments from the hydrosphere has recently become a major Read more »

Abstract:
Sewage treatment systems are utilized extensively in rural areas of Muskingum County, Ohio to manage wastewater from households that do not have the option of connecting to a municipal system. Muskingum County has over 10,500 existing systems and over 300 new systems are installed each year. To better manage alterations to existing systems and construction of new ones, a GIS was implemented. Read more »

Archaeology, as a spatial discipline, has used GIS in a variety of ways. At the simplest level, GIS has found applications as database management for archaeological records, with the added benefit of being able to create instant maps. It has been implemented in cultural resource management contexts, where archaeological site locations are Read more »

Abstract
GIS has played a significant role in the development of Network Support Systems through its ability to offer mapping solutions across different networks in Telecom industry. It helps in maintaining the various inventories involved in a telecommunication network like routers, Center Office terminals, cables, etc effectively. The users could see the locations of these inventories spatially in a map together with their attribute information. These attribute details are available either as separate reports or as a summary table just below the map. Furthermore they can also be viewed as notes on the map, when the user hovers around a Read more »

Introduction:
Hydropower is one of the most common renewable, economic, non-consumptive, non-radioactive, non-polluting and environmentally benign sources of energy. Hydropower stations have an inherent ability for instantaneous starting, stopping, load variations, etc, and help in improving the reliability of power system. Hydro stations are the best choice for meeting the peak demand. The generation cost not is only inflation free but reduces with time. Hydroelectric projects have a long useful life extending over 50 years and help in conserving scarce fossil fuels. Our country is endowed with enormous economically exploitable and viable hydro potential, assessed to be about 84,000 MW at 60% load factor (1,48,700 MW installed capacity). In addition, 6781.81 MW in terms of installed capacity from small, mini and micro hydel schemes have been assessed. Also 56 sites for pumped storage schemes with an aggregate installed capacity of 94,000 MW have been identified. However only 15% of the hydroelectric potential has been harnessed so far and 7% is under various stages of development. Thus 78 % of the potential remains unexplored.
Fig.1. Rise and Decline of Hydro Share in India:
The decline of hydropower in the total power generating capacity of India is not due to non-availability of exploitable hydro potential but because of the following constraints that have slowed down the hydro development. Read more »
