Low carbon road maintenance( hereinafter referred to as LCRM) technology is an important and essential part of the overall low carbon transportation policy in China. The large amount of carbon emission resulting from road maintenance needs to be determined with definitive methods and data to form a basis of measurement of the carbon emission of the road maintenance process. Various road surface maintenance technologies have different environmental impacts and dissimilar levels of carbon emission. When comparing the merits and drawbacks of the various maintenance technologies, not only factors such as the maintenance outcome, road surface quality, serviceable lifespan, costs and the impact on traffic and environment should be evaluated, but also other factors, such as carbon emission of the material used for the maintenance process, carbon emission of the machinery deployed and other amounts released during construction, have to be assessed and measured. This paper will allow for a comprehensive analysis that will help to choose the right road surface maintenance technology that produces the best road surface quality, the optimal economic benefit and the most favourable social and environmental outcome. LCRM protocol should be regulated and promoted by government legislation and through which adoption of the best practices would be encouraged.

AbstractKawasan Taman Nasional Gunung Merapi (TNGM) memiliki ragam potensi keunikan keanekaragaman hayati, alam, budaya dan sosial ekonomi, sehingga keberadaan kawasan ini penting dalam menciptakan hubungan yang berkelanjutan antara manusia dan lingkungan alam. Ancaman akan kelestarian TNGM salah satunya datang dari kegiatan perambahan yang dilakukan oleh manusia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyusun peta tingkat potensi perambahan di TNGM dengan menggnakan pemodelan spasial berbasis Sistem Informasi Geografis (SIG). Pengetahuan tentang tingkat potensi perambahan tersebut dapat dimanfaatkan untuk mengetahui distribusi wilayah yang perlu disarankan untuk tindakan pengawasan. Pemodelan potensi ancaman perambahan disusun berdasarkan parameter ketinggian tempat, kemiringan lereng, jarak dari jaringan jalan, jarak dari jaringan sungai, jarak dari penggunaan lahan, dan jarak dari permukiman. Proses analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis tumpang susun dengan menggunakan metode kuantitatif berjenjang tertimbang. Hasil pemetaan potensi ancaman kemudian diintegrasikan dengan peta zonasi kawasan untuk menghasilkan rekomendasi tindakan pengawasan. Berdasarkan peta potensi ancaman diketahui bahwa bagian selatan dari daerah kajian memiliki tingkat ancaman yang paling tinggi, yang mana merupakan daerah di sekitar batas TNGM. Analisis rekomendasi tindakan pengawasan menunjukkan bahwa terdapat 1.194,71 hektar (58.35%) dari daerah kajian disarankan untuk diawasi. Daerah tersebut memiliki nilai potensi ancaman perambahan yang relatif tinggi dan termasuk dalam Zona Inti. Tepatnya berada dekat dengan batas kawasan yang kemungkinan besar terpengaruh oleh aktivitas masyarakat.Kata kunci: TNGM, Potensi Ancaman Perambahan, Sistem Informasi Geografis, Pemodelan Spasial. Mount Merapi National Park (TNGM) has a variety of potential uniqueness of biodiversity, nature, culture and socio-economic. The existence of this region is critical in creating sustainable relationships between humans and their natural environment. One of the threats to TNGM sustainability comes from encroachment activities carried out by humans. This study aims to perform spatial modeling by utilizing Geographic Information System to produce potential encroachment level map and uncover the areas that need monitoring. There are six parameters used to develop an encroachment threat model, namely elevation, slope, distance from the road, distance from the hydrological network, distance from land use, and distance from the settlement. Overlay analysis was implemented using a quantitative weighted scoring method. The result is then integrated with the TNGM zonation map to produce recommendations for supervision actions. The map of the potential level of encroachment threat show there are five classes of threat varying from high to low. The high-threat spatial arrangement dominates the southern area which is around the TNGM boundary. Recommendation analysis of supervisory actions shows that there are 1194.71 hectares (58.35%) of the study area recommended being monitored. Those were the region that both have a relatively high potential threat of encroachment and settled in the Core Zone. Precisely located near the boundaries of the area which are commonly affected by community activities.Key words: TNGM, Potential encroachment threat, Geographic Information System, Spatial modelling.

One of sub-district in Denpasar that still faces garbage problems is South Denpasar which is due to its high population. The population of South Denpasar is 286,060 people. Based on the data obtained, each individual can dispose up to 0.004 m³ garbage each day. This the volume of waste in the population of South Denpasar Sub-district each day is 1,144.24 m³. However, the amount of waste has not been accommodated well within the number of existing landfills. This study aim is to determine the location of landfill in South Denpasar District. The variables used to determine the suitability of the landfill location are the road to the location, the distance of landfill to the river, land use, land availability and regional boundaries. The number of was determine by points in South Denpasar, amount of waste each day, number of existing population, perceptions and preferences of the people of South Denpasar. The analysis of landfill location was run by using a geographic information system (GIS). This research uses survey methods and data collection with an active approach of activities carried out on the site. The results of the analysis showed that there were 11 landfills recommendations. The location of these recommendations is in the immediate area of reach, which is within 1-2 km.

Timber harvesting roads, skid roads, and truck roads have been identified as major sources of stream sedimentation during logging operations. Researchers have stated that the planning for timber harvesting road networks is key to reducing these erosion and stream sedimentation sources. One impediment to reducing stream sedimentation is that planners do not have a way to quantify road network sufficiency and efficiency, particularly for those networks used by rubber-tired skidders during cable skidding operations. Reach capacity and excess reach capacity are proposed as ways to measure road network sufficiency and efficiency. Reach capacity is defined as the percent of a tract covered by a zone of specified distance around each road segment. Reach capacity is a measure of that portion of the tract that can be reached with a winch cable from the road system to move trees to the road for skidding. Excess reach capacity is the total area of all possible road zone overlaps expressed as a percentage of the reach capacity. Excess reach capacity is a measure of road duplication or the portion of the tract that can be serviced by more than one road. Use of these metrics will provide logging road planners with a tool to compare two or more proposed road network alternatives on a particular logging job, or to assess a completed road network. The Global Positioning System and the geographic information system were used to gather data and perform the spatial analysis necessary to acquire the metrics. A case study illustrates the proposed assessment method.

Historical photos have significance for historical and social studies. Especially, the introduction of Geographic Information System (GIS) and digitalized historical photos have brought more opportunities and possibilities for interdisciplinary studies and the convenience for normal citizens to participate in the landscape observation. To this aim, this paper first reviews the research related to historical photos and Open GIS, and points out the meaning of historical photos for the Yunnan–Vietnam Railway (YVR). Based on the collected data of original historical photos from archives and the fieldwork data that recorded the landscape along the railway from 2018 to 2019, a WebGIS of Yunnan–Vietnam Railway is designed and implemented with open GIS tools. All the data are processed in the QGIS as vector and raster layers and loaded in PostgreSQL as relational tables. Then, heatmaps are created indicating the density of historical activities of the railway company, the other historical photographers, and current touristic activities. Connected with the PostgreSQL database, the data are uploaded to GeoServer for more GIS functionalities. Finally, the whole system lives in a webpage, implemented in HTML and JavaScript with Leaflet, and the improved functionalities of the Yunnan–Vietnam Railway WebGIS include distance measuring, search engine, and historical information browsing. In the future, further research can be done focusing on the landscape changes along the railway and public participation during the landscape observation.

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.
