Utilization of Distributed Architecture Based on Internet GIS for Geomorphologic Data and Environmental Management: Case Study of Damavand Volcano Conic, Iran

Abstract

Despite the great significance of geomorphologic-environmental data in different disciplines, there are sundry problems in relation to availability, accessibility and their applicability. Primarily the problems dealing with these data were investigated and then technical solutions to remove each of the above problems and how to manage geomorphologic-environmental data were suggested. The solution for availability lies in participation of various organizations in acceptance of responsibility of data production and maintenance, during their daily activities. To remove the problem of accessibility to the existing data, a distributed architecture based on Internet GIS has been proposed. To make data applicable in users' systems and also integratable with each other, formulating and observing equal standards in different stages of management of geomorphologic data is recommended. Based on the proposed solutions, Damavand Volcano conic was selected as a case study. Initial standards were drawn up. Accordingly, geomorphologic data on the case study were collected and stored in different distributed databases. A system of distributed Internet GIS was also created based on the proposed architecture. The case study indicated that the proposed solution and system are capable of eliminating the problems pertinent to management of geomorphologic data from technical perspectives.

Assessment of GIS implementation in Indonesian e-Government system

“…For example in the field of forestry [3], fisheries [24], decision making to specify non-smoking area on campus [11], estimation of land use conflicts in North Central Florida, USA [13], asset management at four agencies in Trinidad & Tobago [14], geomorphologic data and environmental management in Iran [21], geo-collaborative crisism management [22], control the traffic movement on religious activity [17], documenting a language [19], urban governance efficiency [18], and some others areas, i.e. climate change, energy and environmental security, gender security, health security, human security, irregular and illegal migration, political transition, poverty & economic insecurity, pollution, and transactional crime [12].…”

Comparative Study of Changing Drainage Basin System with Tectonic Forms, Case Study: Lut Block, Iran

“…Increasing process of civilization and changing of drainage basins will be very improved [22,23,25,27] • Method which is presented base on the Gilbert and Peng theory in response to Davis erosion cycle and is focused in erosion and elements denudation at time However Gilbert in 1877, has delivered the subjects about internal correlation of basins, but hasn't said about basins bounds in one geomorphologic unit altogether [5] . Also, Choroley [5] has discussed about quantitative links of internal-basin.…”
