UAVs are becoming an integrated part of contaminated land risk assessment. They provide high resolution aerial imagery and digital surface models that allow visualization of site conditions. Current uses include supplementing site walkovers, informing conceptual site models, and undertaking volume calculations. Case studies show UAVs can efficiently identify illegal waste dumping. Potential future applications include using multispectral and hyperspectral cameras to detect vegetation health issues and characterize soil and water geochemistry. This may help identify contaminant distributions and inform remediation. However, correlating spectral data with ground samples is challenging and contaminant identification capabilities are still developing. UAVs could become a common investigation tool within 5-10 years.

GIS-enabled bioenergy potential mapping in India Yan Yan
This document describes a methodology for mapping bioenergy potential in India using GIS. It aims to map potential from three biomass resources: burned agricultural residue, animal manure, and municipal solid waste.
For burned agricultural residue, the methodology uses NASA satellite data on burn scars and reprocesses it with a collection 6 algorithm to map residue locations. For animal manure, it uses livestock census data and geospatial information like land cover and population density to model livestock density and distribution. For municipal solid waste, it uses population maps to estimate waste production levels. The results are compiled in an ArcGIS online map of comparative bioenergy distribution.

Modern spatial data infrastructures as enablers of advanced geographic resear...Panos Lolonis
The rapid advancement in spatial data collection, storage, and management technologies in recent decades has resulted in the development of sizable spatial data infrastructures particularly in the Public Sector. Those infrastructures, due to initiatives, such as the NSDI in the US and the INSPIRE in the European Union, have become available to scientists and professionals at a very broad range of disciplines. Indeed, scientists and professionals, nowadays, find themselves with an abundance of geospatial data that they may use to answer important research questions and cope with everyday economic and societal problems. However, advancements in spatial data infrastructures have not been coupled with equivalent advancements in geographical methods and techniques. In fact, most methods and techniques used so far in geographical analysis are based on models and approaches that have been developed before the advent of detailed, comprehensive, and large scale spatial data sets. Those methods and techniques were based, most of the times, on gross approximations and spatial aggregations of geographical phenomena in order to conform, at the time of their development, to the scale and detail at which spatial data were available. The result of such approximations and generalizations, however, was that the outcomes of the relevant spatial analyses were not fine tuned to the problems they aimed to solve and lacked the realism that would make them useful in real world situations. Now, with the availability of detailed and comprehensive spatial data, new horizons in geographical analysis and research are opened. Phenomena can be recorded and represented at a very fine level of detail and be analyzed in a very comprehensive manner. Thus, precision of analyses and realism of outcomes could be increased, improving, thus, the usefulness and impact of geographical analyses in real world situations. However, in order for this to happen, it is necessary, first, to re-engineer the various existing spatial analyses methods and techniques in order to fine-tune them to the levels of detail and the characteristics of the available spatial data. In this presentation, we would elaborate on this issue and on how availability of detailed spatial data may be used to boost development of advanced geographical methods and techniques that would help us in explaining geographical phenomena and in solving spatial problems. Particular “use cases” would be analyzed based on the cadastral spatial data infrastructure that is, currently, under development by Hellenic Cadastre and which would become available to geographers and other scientists and professionals in the forthcoming future.

Abstract Community solid waste management is an important issue in India due to the inherent challenge it is posing as urbanization is on the rise. Currently in India as well as in many urban cities and its activities the population growth has resulted in an increased community solid waste generation rate. Bangalore is the largest city and business capital of Karnataka state. The population of the city as per the 2011 census is 8,443,675 with the total number of houses 2,101,831 A part from infrastructural development going on for sustainable development MSW management should also be taken care off. In the present study community solid waste management collection, transportation and disposal cost plays an important role about 65-75% of total cost. Hence, in Bangalore city four wards were selected to study the community solid waste management system and also optimizations of routing system, collection procedure, transport and transfer activities. Geographical Information System is a device introduced to plan for waste management and also quickly implemented to overcome community solid waste management limitation. This paper attempts to analyze the existing status of transportation of location of municipal waste along with the various secondary routes followed for the solid waste collection of selected wards of Bangalore under BBMP. In the present study, using Arc GIS, a proper optimizing the waste transportation routes and segregation of waste for efficiency in distance travelled and time taken. The clusters are made by taking the time into account, which may be plus or minus the total working hours for the day. In addition, a simple optimal routing system is proposed to achieve the minimum cost/distance/time efficient collection and transport path for community solid waste management as well as social and environmental implications. Key words: community solid waste management, GIS, route optimization, transportation.

Harsh Shrivastava presented to the Urban Development Ministry on building capacity for better cities. He argued that improving the managerial capabilities of city officials through targeted training could help address cities' most urgent challenges. His proposal was to quickly identify best practices, develop training modules, and roll out decentralized training for mid-level city officials across states. This could be done within 18 weeks at a low cost of Rs. 10 crore to dramatically improve day-to-day urban governance and meet citizens' demands.
1. The anatomy of a SEO-friendly URL includes several key components: the protocol, subdomain, domain, top-level domain, folders/path, page, and named anchor.
2. Google assigns priority to keywords based on their placement in the URL, with domain receiving the highest and path/page receiving the lowest. Keywords should be separated by hyphens for clarity.
3. Old dynamic URLs that include CGI parameters are less SEO-friendly than static URLs without extra characters or parameters.
Harsh Shrivastava's presentation at ANU on April 11, 2012 on Indian StatesHarsh Shrivastava
Harsh Shrivastava gave a presentation at the ASARC seminar at the Australian National University on problems, potential, and paradoxes of power in India's state governments. Some key points:
- India has 29 states with at least 29 political parties, creating complex federal politics similar to Australia's system. However, Australians complain about India's slow decision-making.
- Indian states face paradoxes where they oppose reforms at the national level but implement them locally, and where voters want more from governments but the governance system remains unchanged.
- There is a need for research support from federal governments, aid agencies, and public policy schools to help states implement systemic reforms successfully undertaken in some states.

The document breaks down the anatomy of a URL into its components, including the top-level domain indicating Canada, the domain of the Government of Canada organization, the Public Health Agency of Canada department subdomain, the web server address, and the directory path and filename of the specific webpage being accessed.
Internet domain names have a hierarchical tree structure, with top-level domains like .com and country-level domains like .uk further divided into subordinate domains. The Domain Name System (DNS) converts these domain names into IP addresses through a recursive lookup process involving root servers, top-level domain servers, and authoritative name servers. DNS is crucial for routing Internet traffic by translating between hostnames that are easy for people to remember and the IP addresses computers use to connect.

This document summarizes the findings of a study on opportunities and hurdles for enabling sustainable public procurement (SPP) in Vietnam. It describes how public procurement is currently organized and identifies opportunities for SPP through Vietnam's existing legal framework, including laws on the environment, prevention of corruption, and centralized purchasing methods. However, it also notes hurdles like a lack of connection between laws, specific EIA guidelines, and environmental product labels. Overall capacity and inter-ministerial cooperation need strengthening to fully implement SPP in Vietnam.
Vietnam faces difficulties in harmonizing its national forest reporting to international standards like FRA 2010. Forests are diverse and ownership was unclear due to a feudal history. Forests are also degraded and fragmented by population growth. Government agencies report different forest area figures using varying classifications. Specifically, savanna areas are classified differently, and protection and special use forests are not harmonized. Developing consistent national forest classifications aligned with international standards would help, as would detailed international guidelines on forest inventory for different ecological zones and capacity building support.
The document discusses testing national preparedness for sustainable public procurement in Vietnam. It would involve:
1) Reviewing procurement legislation and provisions for SPP
2) Dialogue with procurement authorities on the institutional framework
3) Reviewing environmental and social policies that could promote SPP
It would also analyze how procurement is organized, budgets are managed, and identify stakeholders that could pilot SPP efforts. The document also provides background on the organization conducting the study, IISD, and its work promoting sustainable public procurement globally and in countries like South Africa, Chile and India.
This document summarizes an agenda and presentations for a workshop on enhancing regulation of water and energy infrastructure in Southeast Asia. The workshop included presentations on conceptual frameworks for effective regulation, initial regulatory status reports for Vietnam's energy and water sectors, and next steps for case studies and stakeholder interviews in selected countries. Key regulatory challenges identified for Vietnam's sectors included low tariffs restricting investment and improving coverage, and lack of capacity and enforcement at some provincial levels.
This document discusses forest certification in Vietnam. It notes that Vietnam exports a large amount of wood products, projected to reach $8 billion by 2020, but lacks sufficient domestic wood. It also discusses the current state of forest certification, with over 1,200 wood processing plants but only 1 forest certified. It identifies high costs and lack of awareness as challenges but opportunities in partnerships and Vietnam developing its own forest certification standard in 2009. The document promotes GreenField Consulting as able to offer networks and expertise in forest planning and management to support forest certification in Vietnam.
