1. The Archaeological Map of Bulgaria project digitizes archaeological site data from Bulgaria and makes it accessible through the ARIADNE portal. This allows Bulgarian archaeological data to be discovered and used internationally.
2. Site records and GIS data from the Archaeological Map of Bulgaria have been mapped to international standards like CIDOC CRM, AAT, and PeriodO to improve interoperability. Around 1000 Bulgarian archaeological records are now available through the ARIADNE portal.
3. Making this archaeological data digital and accessible on the web provides opportunities for researchers and helps overcome data isolation, especially during COVID when fieldwork is limited. It also supports data-driven rescue excavations and research.
The Library of Congress received a grant to catalog and provide access to their collection of 1,800 African multi-sheet map sets and 125,000 individual map sheets. A team was assembled to catalog the materials, develop a database to track information, and create a web portal using Google Earth to allow access to the fully digitized collection. Challenges included coordinating different map projections and providing access to sheets in Arabic, which make up around 25,000 sheets.

Lessons learned from the winter cycling surveyMartin L
For a recently finished project we conducted an online survey on winter cycling in February 2015. The outcome serve as evidence basis for future developments of information tools for winter cyclists.
Apart from the results as such (which were enormously helpful, to some extent surprising and indeed relevant for what we are doing), we have learned quite a lot about the winter cycling community and how to engage with them. Additionally some fundamental and methodological insights could have been gained.
This document summarizes Martin Loidl's dissertation on using spatial information to improve bicycling safety. The dissertation uses geographic information systems and spatial analysis to study bicycling crashes in six areas: 1) spatiotemporal crash analysis, 2) road network assessment, 3) spatial simulation, 4) planning bicycle corridors, 5) routing, and 6) communication. The analysis revealed hidden crash patterns, identified high-risk areas, and assessed networks to plan safer infrastructure and routes. The dissertation concludes that a spatial perspective is crucial for estimating local risk and that model-based GIS approaches have potential for improving safety assessment and mitigation.

At Esri UK Annual Conference 2014
United Utilities (UU) is one of the UK’s largest water and wastewater companies with seven million people in the North West of England. UU had been working with an old GIS ‘landscape’ implementation, comprising five separate systems. Without an enterprise GIS platform affording ‘one version of the truth’, there were risks to the business of making decisions based on wrong or missing information. UU embarked on the journey of Linear Asset Management (LAM) programme with an aim to create a future-proof GIS platform and take UU right to the front of the utility industry in terms of leading-edge technology and state-of-the-art information management.
Web GIS is a transformational architecture that opens, integrates, and simplifies GIS systems. It connects GIS professionals with more users across organizations through simple apps and mobile access. This allows for better geographic understanding and more informed decisions.

- The platform provides capabilities for spatial analysis, predictive modeling, and understanding relationships between data and places. It supports a wide range of industries from utilities to emergency response.
- ArcGIS includes both cloud-based (ArcGIS Online) and on-premises (ArcGIS Enterprise) components, as well as desktop and mobile apps. It also has extensive APIs and SDKs for custom development.
The document introduces geospatial systems and data. It discusses how geospatial data relates to locations on Earth and can be structured as vector or raster maps. Geospatial systems allow for capture, storage, and analysis of spatial data. Examples of geospatial system applications include use by central government, local government, and utilities. Standards and privacy concerns are also addressed. The future of geospatial is discussed as increasingly incorporating open data, location-based services, social networking, and augmented reality applications on mobile devices.
The survey found that aerial imagery at a resolution of 2 to 6 inches is most needed, with natural color preferred over infrared. LiDAR and contour data were also commonly requested elevation datasets. Transportation centerlines, address points, and ranges were the top requested transportation elements, with address points being the most popular.
The document discusses standards for publishing and sharing local government data. It introduces the Local eGovernment Standards Body (LeGSB), which promotes standards for efficiency, transformation, and transparency of local services. Examples are provided of publishing planning, toilet, and community register data to common schemas at increasing levels of openness from 3 to 5 stars. The last part discusses using URIs and a data model to query impacts identified for a specific community from a repository of local impact reports.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

CULLEN, as appears from old charters, was originally
called Inverculan, because it stands upon the bank of
the Burn of Cullen, which, at the N. end of the town, falls
into the sea: but now it is known by the name of Cullen on-
ly. Cullen is a royal burgh, formerly a constabulary, of
which the Earl of Findlater was hereditary constable. The
set, as it is called, of the council, consists of 19, in which num-
ber are included the Earl of Findlater, hereditary preses, 3
bailies, a treasurer, a dean-of-guild, and 13 counsellors. The
parish extends from the sea fouthward, about 2 English miles
in length.

visiting or purchasing at a given site is a function of the distance to
that site, its attractiveness, and the distance and attractiveness of
competing sites.
