Abstract

Gajah Wong Sub Watersheds frequently hit by floods which are potentially damaging. Therefore, a study on a flood vulnerability of the area is deemed necessary. This study aims to map floods vulnerability, to know the level and its spread in Gajah Wong Sub Watershed of Yogyakarta County Province by using Geographic Information System (GIS). The methods implemented in this study was weighting and scoring analysis and overlay of parameter attributes data of flood vulnerability framer, consisting of land use, slope of mountain, rainfall, soil type, geology, height of location and river buffer. Each parameter of flood vulnerability framer is classified based on the magnitude of effect towards flood vulnerability. The results of this study indicate that there were three levels of flood vulnerability in Gajah Wong Sub Watershed, i.e. low flood vulnerability of 338.34 Ha (6.86%), medium flood vulnerability level of 4,595.62 Ha (93.13%) and high flood vulnerability level of 0.76 Ha (0.02%). Low flood vulnerability level is ditributed randomly to all areas of Gajah Wong Sub Watershed cover of Ngaglik Sub-district, Depok Sub-district, small part of Pleret Sub-district and was predominantly in Banguntapan Sub-district, an area with rainfall. Medium flood vulnerability areas dominated Gajah Wong Watershed. Meanwhile, high flood vulnerability level occupied small portion of the area and spread in the southern part of Pleret Sub-district which was taken as the area of River Buffer analysis.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effects of Google Earth on students’ engagement in learning and their learning outcome. This study employed pre-experimental design with the One-Shot Case Study design. From the exploration directed crosswise over various areas of evaluation of 12 students in the school, it is demonstrated that dynamic learning of students in was high since it was above 75% and learning outcomes reached an average of 80. This is good considering that the passing grades set in the school was 70. The application of experiential learning methods can produce satisfactory output when viewed from student participation. By looking at the characteristics of schools where students number was less than 20, the teacher is required to develop innovative learning methods. If implemented, this may yield in the improving circumstance of the currently marginalised Geography. Keywords: Google Earth; Student`s activities; Geography learning.

Abstract

Poor access to water is often linked to poverty, human welfare, health, nutritional status, and household labour. This paper is aimed at contributing to the debate surrounding water poverty in the rural areas. Primary data obtained covering water resources, access, capacity, uses, and environment were collected using closed-ended questionnaires. Altogether, 370 household heads were sampled and were selected by systematic random sampling technique. Multiple correlations, factor analysis and multiple regression methods were used to determine the level of relationship between the Water Poverty Index (WPI) components. The results revealed that: WPI is the highest in Elenke/Sagbo (72.3%) and the lowest in Onigbeti II/Sagbon (55.5%). Also, WPI has a strong positive relationship with resources (r = .656), capacity (r = .705) and environment at 95%. Percentages of explanations of WPI ranges from 86.45% in Onigbeti I to 50.99% in Aboke.The results of multiple regression between WPI and components showed that components were weak predictors in 5 wards (Onigbeti III &IV, Onigbeti II , Onigbeti I, Seriki Agbele Aboke and Abogun wards). The paper posits that access to water in Olorunsogo Local Government Area (LGA) is generally reasonable. The paper suggests stronger government presence to improve and sustain the level of access.

Abstract

Lagos city has abundant navigable inland waterways which if fully harnessed would help minimise road traffic congestion, pollution and provide low cost means of long distance travel within the city. This study examines inland water transport services on Lagos lagoon focusing on Ikorodu-Ebutte Ero route. Primary data were obtained using structured questionnaires. While, secondary data were sourced from relevant government and private agencies. Data were analysed using descriptive techniques including frequency counts, tables and graphs. The results revealed an inadequate provision of terminal facilities and vessels in the area. It was also found that most (67.3%) of the trips via water transport in the were mainly for work purpose. In addition, low patronage was observed and it was found to be mostly due to comparatively high cost of fares and passenger safety concerns, as indicated by 67.4% and 58.7% of the respondents respectively. Furthermore, high income earners where found to patronise this mode than low income earners. The high frequency of use of water transport by the respondents (71.3% travel by water every day) indicates that, this mode has great potential of being widely adopted, if greater attention is given to its development by both the government and private sector. There is, therefore, a need for more investment in water transportation in the area through the provision of modern infrastructure and vessels.

Abstract

Water Resources availability is very important to social and economic well-being of the people and has huge impacts on the socio-economic scenarios of a country. Precipitation and snow cover area assessment is some of the major inputs in hydrologic modelling and also for assessing and managing water resources in a basin. The change in the water availability in a basin has huge socio-economic impacts because of the water usage for food production, industries, and many others. The main aim of this study was to measure the snow cover area and precipitation from 2001 to 2015 in the Kabul basin. Moderate Resolution Image Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and Tropical Rainfall measuring Mission (TRMM) data were used to study snow cover area and precipitation respectively during 2001-2015. 8-day snow cover product for 15 years (January) was used to analyse the snow cover while monthly data of TRMM (3B43) were used to analyse the rainfall from 2001-2015. Different image processing techniques were applied on the data retrieved using GIS and Remote Sensing softwares. Initially, SCA was seen increasing, but during the last 3-4 years, it kept decreasing gradually. Rainfall was initially recorded as low, while later on, it was recorded high and reached the highest during 2010.

Abstract

In the present study, the location-allocation and the accessibility models of GIS were integrated with the urban planning standards of the Ministry of Municipal and Rural affairs of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) in order to enhance the spatial planning and the environmental sustainability of the green zones in Al-Dammam Metropolitan area, KSA. The integration of these models provides a framework for investigating the efficiency of the spatial distribution of the green zones and generating alternatives either by suggesting new effective service or by improving an existing one. To achieve these purposes, the accessibility within (5, 10 and 15) minutes to the service areas in the green zones that is classified into nine types (“neighborhood gardens”, “specialized parks”, “cities gardens”, “children’s gardens”, “district gardens”, “streets and squares gardens”, “sports city”, “Sports clubs” and “Playgrounds”) was analyzed through analyzing the network structure of the green zones in Al-Dammam Metropolitan area. The location-allocation model was used based on the maximum coverage within response time of no more than 10 minutes.The study revealed poor distribution of the green zones, the low per capita green zones rates with only (3.52 m2/person) and there were no green zones in 45 districts representing 33.3% of the total districts in the investigated area. Consequently, Al-Dammam Metropolitan area suffers from the weakness of the green zones structure and the shortage in fulfilling the needs of population. The current needs were determined as nine services by two “sports cities”, two “sports clubs”, two “streets and Squares gardens”, one “district garden”, one “children’s garden” and one “specialized park”. It is recommended that the results of this study be taken into consideration by the decision makers while developing the urban planning strategies for improving the infrastructure efficiency as the KSA vision 2030. Keywords: Urban planning; environmental sustainability; green zones; accessibility; location-allocation models; fair and efficient spatial distribution; KSA vision 2030.

Abstract

Natural hazards are a long existing threat to human and their surroundings which may occur throughout the world. Tamil Nadu is one of the Indian States with a number of natural hazard incidences. The occurrence of natural hazards, such as cyclone, storm surge, flood, drought, landslide, forest fire etc., has increased manifold in the recent decades.The multi-hazard zonation is one of the preliminary studies in disaster management scenario, which is used to understand the product of all prominent natural hazards. At the state level, it is imperative for the government to know the regions affected by multiple hazards to help them prepare the management plans appropriately to protect the local communities and infrastructures. However, such systematic hazard assessment and integration in an administrative unit is largely missing in Tamil Nadu. Further, the utilisation of geoinformatics in the preparation of multi-hazard zonation helps to identify the most endangered areas of the State precisely and offers insights to detailed studies in highly risk zones. This paper attempts on these lines to prepare Multi Hazard Zones (MHZ) based on natural hazards viz. earthquake, landslide, cyclone, storm surge, flood, drought and forest fire of Tamil Nadu. The data for the study were generated from multiple sources, which were all generalised and integrated in a normalised scale. The occurrences, intensities and frequencies of hazards, namely seismic, landslide, and forest fire are the reasons for a very high multi-hazard in hilly tracts of the Nilgiris and parts of Shayadhri hills in Coimbatore and Theni Districts, whereas cyclone, storm surge, and flood caused a very high risk along the coastal stretch of Chennai, Kancheepuram, Cuddalore and Ramanathapuram Districts. The segregation of the results into administrative division’s which was then categorised in an order of high risk zones may provide a powerful tool to the State authorities to allocate fund and resources. The output of this study also offers zonation for immediate knowledge, policy briefs, and proper disaster management plan at State level.

Abstract

Today, the development of economic and financial situation concerning the protection of environment and natural resources in a wider scope depends on the use of geospatial data. One of the main aims of the infrastructural organization of geospatial data is to provide users to be capable of acquiring complete, exact and updated dataset at the right time. This is necessary for providing an ideal environment, where all stakeholders can work collaboratively in an effective way, in order to solve environmental issues and to achieve their targets. Global Mapping (GM), a project established by United Nations, is one of the crucial contributions to the development of Global Spatial Data Infrastructure (GSDI). This case study on Albanian GM dataset was aimed at performing analyses of infrastructural organization of geospatial data in global-intercontinental level. Data standardization of GM as contributor of GSDI was analyzed through developed Albanian GM dataset. The main components taken into consideration for performing research analyses were data and metadata, technology, institutional framework, policies, interoperability, network services, search opportunities, and data sharing within GSDI. The main findings of this study are the necessity of infrastructural organization of geospatial data in the global level, known as GSDI, by including official geospatial datasets developed by the national mapping organizations of countries all over the world, in order to be used for environmental monitoring and protection, as well as for early warning management in international level. Finally, based on the research results, four conclusions for GSDI are offered, in order to be considered as guideline for further development of unified and globally homogeneous infrastructure of spatial data set. Keywords: GSDI; GM; spatial data infrastructure; Albania.
