Maps are everywhere—on the Internet, in our car, and even on our mobile phone. Moreover, maps of the twenty-first century are not just paper diagrams folded like an accordion. Maps today are colorful, searchable, interactive, and shared. This transformation of the static map into dynamic and interactive multimedia reflects the integration of technological innovation and vast amounts of geographic data. The key technology behind this integration, and subsequently the maps of the twenty-first century, is geographic information systems or GIS.

GIS aided Urban Planning for preparation of Micro-Level Plan of Channenahalli...vivatechijri
We all know the fact that the surface of earth is spherical and not a plane, and thus in the field of
Town Planning we observe errors in an actual plan or map of a region when it comes to its implementation. For
smaller areas such as a plot or a small township where the land can be considered to be flat the level of errors
observed is less or the accuracy rate is high compared with the larger areas such as a development plan or
structural plan or regional plan or even Town Planning Schemes. Remote Sensing & GIS were initially recognized
as supporting tools for planning, monitoring, and managing the appropriate utilization of the earth resources.
However, due to their multidisciplinary applications and integration with numerous other scientific and
technological fields, in the recent years they have become a distinct field of study.
In this paper we are going to learn about how GIS and remote sensing helps in the preparation of a map with
respect to actual ground co- ordinates and various uses of the same in the field of Urban Planning with an actual
work done on field under the guidance of experts in Directorate of Urban Land Transport, Urban Development
Department, Government of Karnataka.
Integration of Khartoum Cadastral Information into State and Sudan Base Mapijtsrd
The study aims to evaluate and improve Aboadam locality Khartoum State, digital cadastral map layer and to look into its integration possibility with Khartoum State Basemap as well as Sudan National Basemap system. To achieve this objective many approaches have been attempted based on the knowledge of the process steps used to develop the dataset together with the related errors. The approach to estimate the positional accuracy of the cadastral dataset derived from the digital cadastral land maps were reviewed. Then positional data was collected by the aid of GNSS to coordinate the cadastral maps and to apply the geo references process to fit it with the previous Khartoum aerial photography mapping.

FORMATION OF SPATIAL DATABASES WITHIN THE SPATIAL DATA INFRASTRUCTUREIAEME Publication
The article is devoted to the question of designing, creating and updating spatial
databases within the framework of spatial data infrastructures (SDI). The paper deals
with key aspects of the development of models of spatial-temporal data based on the
study of landscapes, as well as provides the main directions for updating the
geospatial repository of information based on remote sensing data of the Earth.
Surveying for Civil engineering is a
particular type of surveying known as "land surveying", it is the
detailed study or inspection, as by gathering information through
observations, measurements in the field, questionnaires, or
research of legal instruments, and data analysis in the support of
planning, designing, and establishing of property boundaries.
Land surveying can include associated services such as mapping
and related data accumulation, construction layout surveys,
precision measurements of length, angle, elevation, area, and
volume, as well as horizontal and vertical control surveys, and
the analysis and utilization of land survey data. Surveyors use
various tools to do their work successfully and accurately, such
as total stations, robotic total stations, GPS receivers, prisms, 3D
scanners, radio communicators, handheld tablets, digital levels,
and surveying software.
Survey data can be directly entered into a GIS from digital
data collection systems on survey instruments. When data is
captured, the user should consider if the data should be captured
with either a relative accuracy or absolute accuracy, since this
could not only influence how information will be interpreted but
also the cost of data captured.
In this paper GIS maps were developed depending on the
field surveying data made for a two traverses. First one has ribs
less than 50m length and the other larger than 50m. Each
traverse is holding five times using five equipments and
instruments: Tape, Level, Digital level, Digital theodolite and
Laser tape. Also those maps were drawn by using both of ACAD
and ArcView softwares. Then a detail surveying map was
produced. The precision was computed for both traverses in each
method. Its value is range from 1/140 to 1/10000.

Advancements in technology unveil a myriad of electrical and electronic breakthroughs geared towards efficiently harnessing limited resources to meet human energy demands. The optimization of hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems plays a pivotal role in utilizing natural resources effectively. This initiative not only benefits humanity but also fosters environmental sustainability. The study investigated the design optimization of these hybrid systems, focusing on understanding solar radiation patterns, identifying geographical influences on solar radiation, formulating a mathematical model for system optimization, and determining the optimal configuration of PV panels and pumped hydro storage. Through a comparative analysis approach and eight weeks of data collection, the study addressed key research questions related to solar radiation patterns and optimal system design. The findings highlighted regions with heightened solar radiation levels, showcasing substantial potential for power generation and emphasizing the system's efficiency. Optimizing system design significantly boosted power generation, promoted renewable energy utilization, and enhanced energy storage capacity. The study underscored the benefits of optimizing hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems for sustainable energy usage. Optimizing the design of solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems as examined across diverse climatic conditions in a developing country, not only enhances power generation but also improves the integration of renewable energy sources and boosts energy storage capacities, particularly beneficial for less economically prosperous regions. Additionally, the study provides valuable insights for advancing energy research in economically viable areas. Recommendations included conducting site-specific assessments, utilizing advanced modeling tools, implementing regular maintenance protocols, and enhancing communication among system components.
Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.
Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Abstract: Base maps are the foundation of the city's holiest and Most important of the documents because it is a record of public
and private property as well as the importance lies in the process of modernization and development of urban planning of the
city. As a result of the construction and investment and construction in Iraq, There was a need for the production of digital maps
to keep pace with technical progress and the possibility of using the software of modern planning and management and the
provision of effort and time and money. In this research was transferred to the paper maps the basis of digital maps using Optical
scanning equipment and then painted by AutoCAD and satellite imagery collected over the study area. Accuracy in the
production of these maps rely heavily on paper maps drawn by hand "as well as the accuracy of satellite images used for the
signing and the compilation of these maps as we have noted more accurate digital maps produced at the satellite images
collected with high accuracy.
Keywords: GIS, ARC MAP.
I. INTRODUCTION
The Map as a symbolic representation of the earth, a small
part of them, it is of great importance, through it, we identify
about many of the details that we require from any place on
earth, and is becoming increasingly important map with the
development and rapid growth through which the human at
the moment ,with the evolution the human and the evolution
of the place are doing, increased need for map to describe
phenomena and views on the scale of the city and the village
and the content of elements natural mountains and valleys,
rivers and seas, and those elements of the man-made such as
buildings, roads and tunnels and bridges, parks and others.(
Al-haddad 2009 ). During the last few years new techniques
and methods in digital graphic data processing have been
developed as well as in digital image processing, also the
requirements of different map users for integration of raster
data, like satellite images, in geographic information systems
(GIS) have grown more and more. In context to this at first
some methods of digital image map production are described,
including mosaicking of satellite images and image
enhancement techniques. Then the basic structure of a hybrid
GIS, including raster, vector and non-graphic data are
described. Finally, the integration of the map production
methods is introduced to especially aspects of hard- and
software-realizations. (Martin, 1986). To access this digital
map data you will be using the Arc GIS software from ESRI.
Initially the software will be used for map construction and
display. Later in the course we will do some analysis and
digital visualization with producing documents that you will
save digitally and printing for use in fieldwork. This
document describes the products, the sources of data and the
procedures for using the software to accomplish this project.(
David ,2006).
II. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
As a result of unavailability of digital base map uniform
between services departments can be relied upon to
determine how the different services for these departments,
many of the services above. Have the same geographic
location and thus happen intersection with each other and
overlap and therefore we need to process, arranging or
organizing services after its geographical positioning. This
study aims to produce and update digital base map the city of
Samawah and linked to geographic databases at the
neighborhood level by:
Update data for urban cities by piece of the land.
Update population data for cities by neighborhood.
Update data of public services to the cities by the
neighborhood.

VI. CONCLUSIONS
The lessons learned from this project:
We get a new digital base map of the study area and
relate it to the database.
Base maps availability and updating are issues need to
be handled carefully.
For the 1:1000 scale maps, urban local bodies and local
municipalities must act as the main player.
GIS activities are evolving in the Samawah city also
along the development and the necessities of the
society, so all the beneficiary parties need to coordinate
to save time and money.
The dependence on information systems to show the
features contained in the satellite image has led to an
increase in accuracy as well as how the phenomena
represented on the map
