Technogenic systems of Pavlodar region

Technogenesis is a process of environmental transformation under the influence of various types of technical human activity. Technogenesis - this transformation of the earth's crust occurs during the extraction and processing of mineral resources, engineering and geological activities. One of the technogenically transformed areas is the Pavlodar region of Kazakhstan. This scientific article presents the main sources of technogenic impact in the Pavlodar region. The research gives a description of the two main technogenic systems. There have been determined the main chemical contaminants of the components of the natural environment. The authors have calculated using modern methods of GIS technologies, the area of sludge collectors. The article describes a promising method for solving such non-trivial problems as identifying the spatial distribution of ecological risk zones, or the spatial display of the concentration distribution of pollutants. The article gives a description of the main industrial facilities of the Pavlodar region, the number of emissions, and also characterizes the climatic factors of the study area.

Application of Kinematic GPR-TPS Model with High 3D Georeference Accuracy for Underground Utility Infrastructure Mapping: A Case Study from Urban Sites in Celje, Slovenia

This paper describes in detail the applicability of the developed ground-penetrating radar (GPR) model with a kinematic GPR and self-tracking (robotic) terrestrial positioning system (TPS) surveying setup (GPR-TPS model) for the acquisition, processing and visualisation of underground utility infrastructure (UUI) in a real urban environment. The integration of GPR with TPS can significantly improve the accuracy of UUI positioning in a real urban environment by means of efficient control of GPR trajectories. Two areas in the urban part of Celje in Slovenia were chosen. The accuracy of the kinematic GPR-TPS model was analysed by comparing the three-dimensional (3D) position of UUI given as reference values (true 3D position) from the officially consolidated cadastre of utility infrastructure in the Republic of Slovenia and those obtained by the GPR-TPS method. To determine the reference 3D position of the GPR antenna and UUI, the same positional and height geodetic network was used. Small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) were used for recording to provide a better spatial display of the results of UUI obtained with the GPR-TPS method. As demonstrated by the results, the kinematic GPR-TPS model for data acquisition can achieve an accuracy of fewer than 15 centimetres in a real urban environment.

Application of Geospatial Mashups in Web GIS for Tourism Development

This chapter examines current development in Web GIS with the implementation of geospatial mashup technologies, such as Google Map, in the context of map mashups and presents a classification of map Mashups and their application in tourism management and promotion. On the Web GIS context, mashup is the process of merging multiple sources of data, both spatial and non-spatial, into a single integrated spatial display. It is about extracting spatial data from a non-spatial source and combining with other spatial data and finally displaying it on a map. This chapter demonstrates that geospatial mashup has great potential to facilitate and widen the rapid development of the future web mapping technology in Web GIS in tourism development. It also highlights on the basic architecture and working principles of map mashups in the context of tourism management. The final section of this chapter emphasizes some issues and limitations inherent to the current mashup technologies like privacy protection, copyright issues, etc., which need to be worked out before its wider adoption.

Geospatial Mashups in Web GIS for Tourism Infrastructure

A Mashup is the process of merging multiple sources of data, both spatial and non-spatial, into a single integrated spatial display. It is about extracting spatial data from a non-spatial source and combining with other spatial data and finally displaying it on a map. Mashups can potentially combine any type of contents and functions over the web, regardless of whether a formal interface of programming is available (Fu et al., 2011). The present study discusses the basic architecture of the Geospatial Mashups in Web GIS and its application in tourism promotion.

APPLICATION OF OPEN AND / OR FREE GEO-TECHNOLOGIES TO COMBAT THE WATER LOSS IN A SUPPLY SYSTEM

The water supply in sufficient quantity and quality is one of the priorities for populations. Due to the shortage of resources and the priority in the costs with the water supply and the expenses with commercial available GIS, the application of open and/or free geo-technologies is relevant. This study aims to combat losses in a water supply system, made a composition in a GIS databank, focusing on the spatial display of repair and maintenance services in the water network. The patterns in the demands of the work that led to the establishment of preventive maintenance routines were identified, resulting in the gradual reduction of losses in the municipality of Coronel Sapucaia / Mato Grosso do Sul State
