GIS Application in Water Resource Management by Engr. Ehtisham HabibEhtisham Habib
GIS (Geographic Information System): computer information system that can input, store, manipulate, analyze, and display geographically referenced (spatial) data to support decision making processes.
Here we have discussed some general GIS application in water resource management.
GIS for Transportation Infrastructure ManagementEsri
Being able to visualize your assets and the surrounding environment when you build, upgrade, or repair transportation infrastructure helps you prioritize your work and make the right decisions.
This is most benificial for the First year Engineering students.This presentation consists of videos and many applications of GIS. The processes and the other parts of GIS is also nicely explained.
Gis technology Application in Urban Planning in Kenya - Mathenge MweheMathenge Mwehe
GIS technology is an indispensable tool that can transform the way urban planning is done in Kenya. However, Kenya urban planning system is still tied up in the outdated manual planning systems with disastrous results in return. If Kenya Is to achieve vision 2030 goal of spatial prosperity and well planned urban land uses, it’s imperative that it incorporate and integrate the GIS technology in its devolved planning offices.

2013 Mission First Track, How GIS Supports USAFA's Civil Engineer Squadron by...GIS in the Rockies
USAFA’s Civil Engineer Squadron’s GIS is used by many at the US Air Force Academy, both technical and non-technical users. Learn how GIS is used to help the Civil Engineer Squadron fulfill its mission to manage the US Air Force Academy's built and natural environments through respect for heritage, sustained facility excellence and a focus on the future infrastructure of the Academy. During the presentation, you will see that GIS is used to support many mission elements such as Engineering, Operations, Natural Resources, Emergency Management, GeoBase, and more, through map requests, surveys, special projects, and project deliverables. It is accomplished using DoD standards, custom codes, and custom intranet websites. You will also see some of the troubles of the job that can hinder our performance of duties. In the end, you will have received an overall summary of the tasks that we see at the US Air Force Academy to help ensure the success of the mission.
StartPad Countdown 5 - Google Geo: Mobile MappingStart Pad
Mapping technologies and mobile technologies have often been at odds with each other. Mobile technologies require compact, high performance applications, and maps require massive amounts of data and special interfaces. Recently, mapping technologies have been optimized for the increased power of modern mobile devices. This talk will give an overview of what Google offers to mobile developers, including Android MapView and iPhone MapKit, and will demonstrate how to get started with the new Google Maps API version 3, which has been optimized for mobile devices.
Asset-Mapping and more - an outline proposal for a pan-Scotland Learning SetPeter Ashe
We want to recruit and work with a national cohort on the processes involved with community asset-mapping, individual network-mapping, and 'social prescription', helping participants plan, carry out initial activities (the actual mapping), and follow-through, in a number of locations and communities of geography/interest across Scotland.
A selection of images from asset-mapping conversations and meetings that I have participated in. Some 'here's one I prepared earlier' material, in the hope that when introducing the topic, folk participating can get some idea of what it might be like in practice

Covenant University location navigation system (CU Naviloc) built on the Android
platform is a mobile based system which can be easily accessed from an android
mobile device across any location, downloadable on Google play store and
deployable anywhere in the world. In this study,Computer-aided design as well as
building Information modelling (CAD/BIM) system applications were introduced to
the simulation of Covenant University, a smart and compact campus whose edifice
elaborates the need for the development of a three dimensional (3D) virtual model of
locations as an advancement over the existing 2D model representation of maps on
the Google map and Google Earth platform. Therefore, this research work outlays the
development of three dimensional models (CU NAViLoc Model) for details of
information at Covenant University as well as the requirements for its development
and implementation for cooperate representation of the institution. A three
dimensional map of CU was packaged into a location navigation system and was
implemented using Unreal Engine, Trimble SketchUp and Revit to effect a user
friendly, smarter and multi-dimensional viewable user interface. CU Naviloc explore
the advantage of the rich benefits of building information models and geographic
information systems to build a free-roam navigator, based on a well-updated model of
Covenant University location map. The benefits of this system is not limited to 3D
capability, real time similarity, portability, no downtime on access, and progressive
scalability with zero or little loss of data. The usage of the CU Naviloc system
requires free download and installation of the app and internet presence.
INTRODUCTION TO GIS AND GEOREFRENCING.pptxMEGHANA S
Georeferencing is the name given to the process of transforming a scanned map or aerial photograph so it appears “in place” in GIS. By associating features on the scanned image with real world x and y coordinates, the software can progressively warp the image so it fits to other spatial datasets.
Leveraging ArcGIS Platform & CityEngine for GIS based Master PlansEsri India
Sustainable, scalable and future ready urban development is one the key priorities in India as well globally. Major government programs i.e. Smart Cities and Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) aim to build foundations to achieve this.
For any planned development, master plan is a starting point. A master plan provides a long term blueprint that guides the sustainable planned development of the city. Use of GIS for master planning is not new. GIS-based Master Plans will help in different types of urban planning exercises, e.g. preparation of development plan, zonal plan, utility plan, infrastructure plan, etc. Even Smart City program and AMRUT programs mandate use of GIS for master plan creation.
ArcGIS is a complete platform for end-to-end city planning, design and management. The webinar illustrates how ArcGIS Platform and 3D capabilities of CityEngine provides a complete set of tools for end-to-end GIS based master plan creation and updation.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
