“…This connection is crucial to establish the use of GIS in architecture education and to promote a "problem-evaluation -solution" loop teaching approach [6,12]. In this context, Ferreira-Lopes [15] pointed out that the reason for the limited use of GIS capabilities in cultural heritage may be related to the lack of training and professional updating, which was also corroborated by Blišt'an et al [16] for the teaching of GIS in general. The need for new research is also highlighted, especially focused on the GIS analysis tool potential.…”

Geographical Information Systems (GISs) in architecture were initially limited to regional and urban development applications. Over recent years its potential has been recognized and its use has evolved to address urban planning and architectural heritage management subjects. Nevertheless, evidence shows that its use in architecture teaching is scarce and uneven. Directive 2007/2/EC, establishing the infrastructure for spatial information in the European Community (EU), is, in this way, an opportunity to develop a greater knowledge and application of GIS in the framework of higher education. In architecture, this can be achieved by problem solving based on real case scenarios, which can benefit from GIS-based techniques and analysis capabilities. In this paper, the authors aim to present a review of the use of GIS in teaching and research in architecture to assess its level in different European programmes. Experiences from three European universities (University of Seville, Spain, University of Beira Interior, Portugal, and Technical University of Crete, Greece), which are among the few in their respective countries that promote the inclusion of GIS in architectural education, particularly in the fields of urban and regional planning and architectural heritage, are compared and framed within the European scenario. The paper concludes with a reflection on the three universities’ practice compared to the leading European architecture programmes listed in the main international university rankings. Main trends of future evolution on the use of GIS in architecture teaching are also presented.

The Semarang City Government is currently developing tourism potential in the Semarang City area. However, the number of tourist attractions in the city of Semarang makes tourists who come to the city of Semarang to be confused to visit the tourist attractions that will be visited. In this study the authors provide solutions for grouping based on the type of tour such as religious tourism, environmental tourism, water tourism, nature tourism and education tourism. The use of the Dijkstra algorithm will be used to help find solutions to visit these tourist attractions. In this system the Google Maps API will be used to display spatial data to indicate the route to be passed. System design to create a Geographic Information System using the Unified Modeling Language (UML). Tourists later use this application by entering the initial location information and the location you want to get to get the route. Based on testing that has been done the system is able to display information on the route it travels will be bypassed by tourists. The results of research and field studies that have been carried out, can be concluded from the user acceptance testing in terms of usefulness of 89.5%, in terms of use of 89.3%, in terms of appearance of 89.5%, and in terms of accuracy of 87.6%, that is strongly agree.

“…In fact, GIS&T is mainly employed to service the areas of the geographic spatial information producing, processing, applying, and development of the related technologies. Hence, GIS&T, driven by innovation, is usually treated as a crosscutting discipline through integrating the modern information sciences and technologies [14,15]. The emerging of GIS Specialty is accompanied with the rise and expansion of GIS industry.…”

Currently, the speeding economic development of China triggers a new era mission for applied talents to satisfy the need of converting the economic growth and promoting the industrial structure improvement. Consequently, it is of great significances to establish a novel GIS applied talent training mode of GIS under the support from transforming strategy for the local colleges/universities of China. Hence, this research firstly reports the important experiences from GIS specialty of Hengyang Normal University who are striving to explore the applied talent cultivating ways. Then, this work discourses the main features of GIS applied talents through detailing how the GIS specialties of local universities/colleges meet the national need on cultural heritage digitalization. Noted that, the case of this paper tries to establish a synergetic framework within its host to cultivate the creative talents. First and foremost, the resources and supports from the excellence disciplines, platforms, as well as related specialties play significant role in setting up the framework. Through this paper, the synergetic framework for cultivating applied GIS talents must be popular to the local universities/colleges to improve the similar specialties under combining the discipline establishment and national strategic needs.
