APPLICATIONS OF GIS
 WEB GIS
 Geographical Information Systems and Geo information on the Internet
increase the possibilities of learning and teaching about territory. Statistical
data, maps (cadastral, land use, geological…) and images of different places
of the world, especially aerial photographs and satellite images, are put on
the Web by a GIS program.
 main aim of GIS is to solve territorial problems, but we will try to take
advantage of the Internet of GIS for spatial skills in Geography teaching

SPAIN AIMS AT MILITARY-CIVILIAN
SATELLITES
 Spain is on track to become the first European country to have a dual Earth
observation system, radar and optical, for both civilian and military use
 Defense Minister Carme Chacon said radar technology installed on the
satellite, which is totally of Spanish design and manufacture, will enable up to
100 images of the Earth's surface to be taken per day at a resolution of up to 1
yard

 Chacon stressed that the Paz
satellite, which will be in orbit in 2013,
will be able to detect the position of
any ship in the world that could
possibly become the victim of
hijacking through an automatic AIS
identification system

GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS FOR
WATER RESOURCES EVALUATION
Application of GIS-BALAN to Atlantic basins in Spain :
GIS-BALAN evaluates hydrologic components in a sequential manner
and performs a daily water balance in the upper soil, the unsaturated zone
and the underlying aquifer.
Main window of GIS-BALAN pre-processor
 It requires only a few parameters and
incorporates user-friendly interfaces for
data input and post-processing of
results.

 Computed groundwater levels and
stream flows can be compared to
measured data for the purpose of
model testing and calibration which
can be performed automatically by
minimizing a least squares criterion

USED OF GIS FOR RURAL LAND USE PLANNING
IN GALICIA (SPAIN)
 Changes experienced in rural areas - depopulation, loss of agricultural
activity - or the appearance of new activities or expectations placed upon the
land require support tools for the decision-making process in terms of
connecting activities and territories
 Land use planning models included the analysis and evaluation of their main
characteristics

GIS SYSTEM AS A DECISION SUPPORT TOOL FOR
AGRICULTURAL PLANNING IN ARID ZONES OF
SPAIN
 objective of this work was to analyze the factors involved in rural
planning to enable the identification of the important agricultural
possibilities and risks related to the province of Almeria, Spain.
 Main stages in the creation of this system were:
(a) Information preparation,
(b) Data integration,
(c) Construction of GIS tool (ESTIARA*SIG), and
(d) Exploitation of the information stored at the Ministry of Agriculture of
the Regional Government of Andalusia, Spain, and its updating at the
University of Almeria
A GIS was carried out in the framework of the ESTIARA project, funded by
the Ministry of Agriculture and Fishing of the Regional Government of
Andalusia

FIRE HAZARD MODELS FROM REMOTE
SENSING
 Digitally processed Thematic Map data were integrated with other
layers of geographic information to derive a forest fire hazard map.
 The objective of this project was to establish a reliable method for fire
hazard mapping in a mediterranean environment.
 Aspect groups for the fire hazard model. Dark grey, southeast (high
hazard); medium grey, southwest (medium hazard); and white, north
(low hazard):

Use of Geographic Information Systems as a
Decision Support Tool for the Management of
Mediterranean Fisheries
 a global approach which has been formalized in order to develop a
computerized simulation tool called FAST (Fishing Activity
Simulation Tool), distributed as an extension of ESRI ArcView GIS
Software.
 FAO COPEMED Project GCP/REM/057/SPA, within the framework of
its activities aiming the enhancement of scientific knowledge for a
better management of Mediterranean Fisheries, has led a regional
training activity on the use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS)
 EMA Ltd. Slovenia has been selected
by the National Fisheries Authority (NFA)
of Albania to provide an integrated Vessel
Monitoring System (VMS) for fisheries
management.

GIS APPLICATION IMPROVES STADIUM
SECURITY OF FOOTBALL GAMES
These application allows police and emergency responders to track and view
security and safety activities digitally using a Web-enabled, spatial platform

The map displays GIS layers for incidents, rescue squad and police resources,
stadium seating location references, and interior space floor plans overlaid on top
of an aerial view of the stadium and surrounding areas

GIS-FOREST TREE SPECIES IN SPAIN
Four Applications
 GIS of tree forest species in Spain
 This application is a GIS viewer implemented in ArcGIS Server 9.3, with
information about forest tree species included in Spanish RD 289/2003
and in1999-105 European Directive

 Use Recommendations of Forest Reproduction Materials
 Another Gis-viewer application shows climatic suitability of tree
forest species included in Spanish RD 289/2003 and in1999-105
European Directive, and their use in reforestation

 Regions of Provenance in Europe
 For some important European species, you can access to the Regions of
provenance in Europe, and the national codes used in the marketing of
forest Reproductive material.

 Distribution maps of forest tree species
