ABSTRACT The Oil Program Center at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Headquarters is developing geographic information system (GIS) standards to aid EPA's 10 regions in developing and implementing GIS. GIS can support spill response, contingency planning, risk analysis, training and exercises, inspections and enforcement actions, reporting, incident analysis, cost recovery, and outreach. By developing and promoting standards, the Oil Program Center hopes to ensure that GIS development is targeted at the broadest practical user base and considers all aspects of EPA's oil program. In addition, GIS standards will promote consistency between EPA regions, promote data sharing, reduce duplication of effort, and focus attention on using GIS as an analytical tool rather than just as a mapping tool. The standards also may promote greater consistency between the Oil Program Center and other offices within EPA; for example, standards promote watershed-based analysis, which is consistent with other offices' use of watersheds as units of analysis. The standards address the following issues: Minimum essential data elements Data verification and accuracy standards Standard symbols and icons System design and data structure Because the specific needs of regions differ, the GIS tools that they develop will reflect these differences. GIS data standards, however, will promote compatibility across the regions to facilitate collaboration and expand prevention, preparedness, response, and outreach capabilities.

Abstract Background Under-reporting, delayed diagnosis, incomplete treatment and inadequate vector management are few among many factors responsible for uninterrupted transmission of malaria in India. Information technology (IT) and mobile apps can be utilized effectively to overcome these hurdles. Indigenously developed digital handheld geographic information system (GIS)-tagged Android-based tablets (TABs) has been designed especially for implementation of digitization protocol. This has changed the effectiveness of malaria surveillance and intervention strategies in a malaria endemic area of Mangaluru city, Karnataka, India. Methods A software was developed and implemented for control measures to create a digital database of each malaria case. Secondary data analyses were carried out to determine and compare differences in malariometric indices between pre- and post-digitization years. With the introduction of this software active surveillance, information education and communication (IEC), and anti-vector measures were made ‘incidence-centric’. This means that the entire control measures were carried out in the houses where the malaria cases (index cases) were reported and also in surrounding houses. Results Annual blood examination rate (ABER) increased from 13.82 to 32.8%. Prompt reporting of new cases had improved (36% within 24 h and 80% within 72 h). Complete treatment and parasite clearance time were documented in 98% of cases. In the second post-digitization year untraceable cases reduced from 11.3 to 2.7%; contact blood smears collection also increased significantly (p < 0.001); Slide Positivity Rate (SPR) decreased from 15.5 to 10.48%; malaria cases reduced by 30%. Conclusions IT is very useful in translation of digitized surveillance to core interventions thereby effectively reduce incidence of malaria. This technology can be used effectively to translate smart surveillance to core interventions following the ‘1-3-7-14’ strategy.

Data Context

Archaeology is closely associated with spatial or spatial aspects. Because the material archeological data such as artifacts, features, buildings, and sites containing the inherent spatial information in order to keep the data context. The themes of the archaeological research nowadays often reconstructing the spatial aspects of history and culture. Device Geographic Information System (GIS) is clearly greatly assist the process of archaeological research both in the field and during the process of analysis and presentation of information related to the results of the research. GIS has become the main choice for researchers to update the development of archeology that have been all-digital, practical, and effective. Although the use of GIS in archaeological research is very popular in many countries, in fact the use of GIS in archaeological research in Indonesia is still not that popular. This paper presents the use of GIS tools that allowed to be applied by archaeologists that can be adopted in the analysis and presentation of information and research results, conditions of application of GIS in the current archaeological research, as well as the constraints faced. This paper shows that recently the archaeologists in Indonesia is very enthusiactic in using the GIS for the effective spatial analysis tools. The government is also concerned about the importance of GIS in mapping the spatial data of heritage as well archaeological research locations in order to support the acceleration of One Map Policy.Ilmu arkeologi sangat erat kaitannya dengan aspek keruangan atau spasial. Karena materi data arkeologi seperti artefak, fitur, bangunan, dan situs mengandung informasi spasial yang melekat agar tidak kehilangan data konteksnya. Tema-tema penelitian arkeologi dewasa ini tidak sedikit yang bertemakan aspek spasial dalam merekonstruksi sejarah dan budaya. Perangkat Sistem Informasi Geografis (SIG) jelas sangat membantu proses penelitian arkeologi baik di lapangan maupun saat proses analisis dan penyajian informasi terkait hasil penelitian semacam itu. SIG menjadi pilihan bagi peneliti arkeologi dalam mengikuti perkembangan dunia riset yang serba digital, praktis, dan efektif. Walaupun penggunaan perangkat SIG dalam penelitian arkeologi sangat populer di banyak negara, namun kenyataannya penggunaan perangkat SIG dalam penelitian arkeologi di Indonesia belum cukup polpuler. Penelitian ini menyajikan penggunaan perangkat SIG yang memungkinkan diterapkan oleh peneliti arkeologi yang dapat membantu dalam proses analisis dan penyajian informasi hasil penelitian, kondisi penerapan perangkat SIG di dalam penelitian arkeologi saat ini, serta kendala-kendala yang dihadapi. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dewasa ini perhatian peneliti arkeologi di Indonesia terhadap peran SIG cukup terbuka mengingat kebutuhan perangkat analisis spasial yang efektif. Pemerintah juga menaruh perhatian akan pentingnya SIG dalam memetakan data spasial Cagar Budaya dan Lokasi penelitian arkeologi dalam rangka mendukung percepatan kebijakan One Map Policy atau kebijakan Satu Peta.
