Web-based GIS modelling of building-integrated solar photovoltaic system for the City of Cape Town
… sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) techniques in creating awareness about the potentials of building rooftops for solar photovoltaics installations in an urban setting. In achieving this, Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data and aerial imagery are sourced from City of Cape …

Contributions to spatial uncertainty modelling in GIS : small sample data
… explore the use of small sample data in spatial modelling predictions, within Geographic Information System (GIS)." The methodologies underlying the theoretical foundations for spatial modelling are examined, such as geostatistics, fuzzy mathematics Grey System Theory, and (V,·) Credibility …

Improving road ice prediction through the introduction of GIS gererated geographical parameters to an ice forecasting model
… that these field surveys replaced by modern GIS modelling methods. The research goes on to describe the development of a variety of GIS based methodologies and software for the calculation of geographical parameters for input into the Geographical Road Ice Prediction model and the …

Place on the Plains: Modelling Past Movement Along the Red Deer River
… left by past place making activities, and the GIS modelling of probable past pedestrian routes through the study area. Such modeling uncovered past travel patterns that led to the locating of a previously unrecognized river crossing and illustrated the critical role place occupies in …

Water and Early City Development in Southeast China: Geoarchaeology Case Study of the Ancient Liangzhu City
… soil micromorphology, bulk sedimentology, and GIS-modelling – to investigate and model the long-term human-landscape relationships between Liangzhu city, its surrounding landscape and its hydraulic regime. GIS data were processed to reconstruct regional hydrological conditions. Soil profiles …

Analysis and visualisation of digital elevation data for catchment management
… NEXTMap and OS 50 data with SCIMAP and RUSLE modelling techniques. Findings from the research demonstrate that a number of nationally available DEMs in the UK are simply not ‘fit for purpose’ as far as local catchment management is concerned. Results indicate that DEM source and resolution …

Systematic conservation planning and South Africa's Forest Biome: An assesment of the conservation status of South Africa's forest and reccomdentations for their conservation
… used for irreplacebility analysis. Rule based modelling, expert judgements and GIS modelling, were used to develop indices of threat, vulnerability, fragmentation, degradation, connectivity and irreplacebility, at the scale of forest patches, forest clusters and forest types. An index of …

Ecotourism and its ecological impact: A study of tourist developments in the Mara
… suitability models, the research explored how GIS modelling techniques can be employed to identify suitable locations for tourist accommodation, without compromising the ecological integrity of the wildlife areas where these facilities will be located. Employing two different bed occupancy …

Projected sea level rise and the conservation ecology of the Micronesian Megapode (Megapodius laperouse senex) in Palau, Micronesia
… of dominant plant species composition. Using GIS and the latest spatial data, I modelled the effect of three currently accepted scenarios (0.52 m, 0.98 m, and 1.9 m) of sea level rise on their known breeding habitat. The RISL is comprised of 3,857.5 ha of forested cover of which megapodes used …
