    This paper considers that there is a gap between mountain altitudinal belts and the traditional GIS, and that a "bridge" should be constructed between them. A "digital engine" is created, which makes it possible to digitize mountain altitudinal belts. Based on the collection of a great amount of data and resource about mountain vertical belts and their standardization in China, this paper makes use of the component AO of ArcGIS and VB programming language to develop a mountain altitudinal belt information system (1.0) for China. This system is object-oriented, and establishes the spatial connection between altitudinal belt spectra and geographical location, allowing the possibility for the digital analysis of vertical belts between multiple regions. The interface of this system is friendly, easy to operate. This information system provides physical geographers and ecologists with a perfect data collection of mountain altitudinal belts and an effective tool for spatial analysis of mountain altitudinal belts. Its successful development means that the study of mountain altitudinal belts has entered a digital era.

    Land and resources information contains multiplicate data source and mass volume of data. Moreover, new data is being generated in daily management. All these have increased the practical difficulties in the management and services of land and resources information. In the current management of land and resources in China, it is urgent to exchange and update information periodically or real-timely between superior department and junior department in China, that is between relevant government departments at national, provincial, municipal or prefectural levels. In the above data, spatial data concerning land monitoring, mining and geologic surveying dominate in information management and services.Facing at the above status, this paper has introduced the general idea of information exchange of land and resources. That is to set up a unique data center at the national level; data is gathered from municipal level to provincial level, then from provincial to the data center (national level) gradually. In light of this idea, data is backuped incrementally in data center. Also, information can be exchanged real-timely under the uniform network system. According to the above general idea, this paper has also analyzed the exercisable pattern and practical techniques, in which GML-Geography Markup Language is emphasized.

    The paper paid much attention to Virtual Geographical Environments of ideal equilibrium profile lines of rivers. Surface runoff is one of the important factors figuring the earth's surface. The reconstructing action on the earth's surface by fluvial process, which includes erosion, mass transportation and accumulation, results in erosion and accumulation of landforms, and these two types of landforms have close relations with each other. Based on the mechanism of the formation of the equilibrium profile line of rivers presented by the geomorpholo gists, the paper deduced the theoretic formula of the equilibrium profile line. Because there are three landform stages in China from west to east, the paper calculated three equilibrium profile lines of the Huanghe River: L1 was the total equilibrium profile line of the Huanghe River, L2 and L3 were local equilibrium profile lines which took Togtoh or Songduo as local datum planes. The equilibrium profile lines of the Huanghe River have theoretic significance on the researches of the development of rivers and their capabilities of erosion and transportation.

    GML provides a set of core schemas together with a simple semantic model between objects andproperties. Using the GML model and its schema components, users can define their own GML application schemas flexibly. However, this flexibility results in much difference among GML application schemas of different users and in different domains, and also presents a substantial difficulty for writing GML software applications because the software would be expected to understand any GML dataset. The software can perform type discovery on the schema to identify which XML elements from the GML dataset represent a feature, a feature's properties, a feature's geometric properties, and a feature's topological properties. How to parse arbitrary GML user application schemas and understand the semantic meaning of elements and types becomes a difficult problem that must be solved in GML based spatial data semantic integrating and sharing. Developing one universal GML parsing engine is very important to GML based spatial data semantic integrating and sharing. Three core schemas used most frequently and relationship between GML application schema and core schemas, and constraint rules among elements and types in GML schemas are introduced first in this paper. Feature's properties composition is analyzed in section 3. In section 4, method of semantic identifying elements in GML application schema is put forward. In section 5, the universal GML Parsing Engine is implemented using JavaBeans techniques in JBuilder X Environment. Section 6 is the conclusion of this paper.

    Data distribution of GIS has been made realism through WebGIS. With the increasing need of data sharing and GIS, WebGIS can no longer meet this requirement. The application of Grid Computing and Middleware technology in GIS make a promise for the development of Middleware Grid-GIS. Grid-GIS not only makes spatial data distributed, but also makes the functional services of GIS distributed. Grid-GIS has the following characteristics:(1) Sharing of spatial data and GIS function; (2) highly performance of computation; (3) easiness for GIS software development; (4) equity in architecture; (5) high security; and (6) easy for GIS application.In this paper the procession of data transmission was recommended, and the strategy of data transmission in Grid-GIS was put forward in order to meet the functional requirement for data transmission.In data transmission of Grid-GIS, GML was used as the description of geographic data. GML is the extending use of Extreme Markup Language (XML) in the area of Geography. Using GML user can store and transmit the attribute and location information of geographical feature. GML can describe geographical feature into text of XML format, and supply the spatial information transmission between GIS components with cogent technology.The data transmission service of Grid-GIS was constructed by taking the advantage of Web services and MO Middleware technology. Web services are a new breed of web applications. They are self-contained, self described and the modular application can be published, located and invoked across the web. Web services perform functions that can be anything from simple requests to complicated business process. Once a web service is deployed, other applications (and other web services) can discover a deployed service. Security of data transmission in Grid-GIS was also expounded. It was accomplished by using the proxy method.

    A city is a self-organizing complex system. Its growth is affected by many uncertain factors. CA models have strong spatial calculating capabilities, and they can effectively simulate complex dynamic systems. The state of a system is determined by the simultaneous iterative evolvements of cell states based on certain transitional rules. CA models play important roles in simulating urban growth and other geographic phenomena. Cell, state, adjacent relation and transitional rule are the four basic elements. Spatial cells have the same dimensions. The change type of a cell's state lies on the previous state of the cell and adjacent cells'states. Change or not is controlled by transitional rules. The transitional rules are the core of CA models. They can be used to calcu-late changing potential of geographic cells with the states and spatial relationships of the cells. When simulation urban growth spatial parameters are needed. Each spatial parameter has a corresponding factor weight under calculation, which reflects the relative importance of the parameter to urban growth. The determination of spatial factor weights used in the CA transitional rules is difficult. Existing methods have shortcomings, such as low reliability, too much operation procedures and so on. An improved genetic algorithm is adopted to automate the determination of factor weights. Genetic algorithm is an optimized algorithm, which can get optimum result; meanwhile, the improved real number coding genetic algorithm avoids the shortcomings of traditional binary coding genetic algorithm. It is tested with Beijing growth simulation method using TM remote sensing image classification results of 1994 and 2001. Compared with the existing methods, it shortens computing time and raises simulating precision.

    Vegetation coverage is an important parameter for evaluating eco-environment of a certain region.Numerous methods have been developed to derive local vegetation condition information from remote sensing data nowadays. Because the existence of mixed pixel, many spectral immixture models have been developed such as linear, probabilistic, geometric-optical, stochastic geometric, fuzzy models. This article tried the most convenient and simple method, linear spectral immixture model on ASTER image data of Fuzhou area. Using this method this paper has generated the vegetation fraction image of Fuzhou area, and evaluated the result by doing a regression analysis between it and the NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) image which is also derived from the same scene of the image. The evaluating result shows a strong positive correlation. The landscape matrix of the research area has also been obtained by using FRAGSTSTS software package, which shows that the vegetation coverage of Fuzhou area is in good condition except the dominant type is in the moderate condition.

    There are many image fusion methods developed in recent years with the development of multi sensor, multi-temporal and multi -spectral remote sensing technologies. Of these, the HIS, PCS, HPF, SFIM, SVR, Wavelet and Brovey fusion methods are widely used. However, the traditional image fusion is a technology that usually merges the images with the same temporal or near temporal data to increase the image spatial resolution and multi -spectral resolution. The fusion image can largely improve the image visualization and increase the classification accuracy when using appropriate image merging technique. However, this paper proposes a merging method that uses different time serial TM/ETM+ images to do image fusion. After this process we can apply the unsupervised classification method and the second principal component method on the resultant fusion image to detect and extract land cover change areas. To evaluate accuracy of the methods, we use post-classification method to classify TM image of 1986 and ETM+ image of 2000, and then extract land cover change areas. After this, the detected results of unsupervised classification and the second component analysis were compared with that detected using the post-classification method. The comparison reveals that the two methods used in this study have much higher accuracy than the post-classification method. The study indicates that these two methods can quickly and efficiently detect land cover changes.

    Based on the theories of Geo-information Tupu and supported by the technologies of Geographical Information System and Remote Sensing, this paper, taking the Fujian province as a case, first selects hydro thermal conditions, land cover, topography etc. as the indexes, and calculates their weights using the Analytical Hierachical Process method, so as to workout the synthetic eco-environmental evaluation grade map of Fujian province. It then defines the regional eco-environmental quality index, selects the main geographical spatial elements such as coastal strip, main rivers, main cities, and the main railways etc. to build the buffering zones. Finally it overlays the buffering zone on the synthetic eco-environmental evaluation grade map to result a series of spatial distribution pattern maps of eco-environmental quality index, and applies these maps to constitute the eco-envionmental spatial distribution pattern Tupu of the Fujian province. According to the analysis of the Tupu, this paper draws the following conclusions: most of the economically flourishing regions possess of preferable eco-environments, and few of economically flourishing regions with the worse eco-environment locating in the middle coastal strip, where the vegetation cover rate is low due to human's irrational developments and utilization of land resources. In a word, with the theories of geo-information Tupu, the paper expounds the eco-environmental spatial distribution laws clearly and effectively, and this attempt explores and develops the investigative ideas and methods on eco-environment.
