    Transmission of schistosomiasis has direct or indirect relation with geographic environment, constituting a cut-in of application of geo-informatics to this field. This paper firstly reviewed the existent problems in the study of schistosomiasis habitat, gave a geo-multi-analysis on the schistosomiasis transmission mechanism, studied out the prerequisite conditions and general procedures for the application of geo-informatics to the schistosomiasis research. The environmental features of the schistosomiasis habitat and the principles of application of geo-informatics to it were then included, from which several apocalyptic insights were gained, suggested that the uncertainty in the process of monitoring schistosomiasis habitat is extremely complicated. So it is necessary to introduce current advanced remote sensing technique (like artificial intelligence, expert system, knowledge-driven classification, etc.) to improve the monitoring accuracy. The key factors in the schistosomiasis transmission are positive snail and cercaria density in infecting water, hence use should be made of correlation analysis and spatial modeling assisted by GIS thematic data and field survey data to conduct spatial simulation of the schistosomiasis-susceptible areas.

    The use of an index system is an important approach for land use monitoring and evaluation. In order to meet the requirement of land use evaluation in the national development zones, a new index system was proposed, which consists of three perspectives: land use degree, structure and efficiency. Based on the index system, a comprehensive evaluation model was built by using standard deviation coefficient to determine the weights of the evaluation indices. The index system and the evaluation model were tested in the land use evaluation for 10 national economic and technological development zones, and a quantitative score was drawn for comprehensive evaluation in each zone. The results show that the approach is effective and exercisable.

    Grid thinning algorithm is a popular algorithm in grid-vectorization. This paper not only improved this algorithm but also implemented semi-automatic tracking grid-vectorization and central line pick-up using this algorithm. Both of the two methods need the interaction with computer, and can vectorize the grid data on the fly and on demand. Furthermore, this grid-vectorization method has many advantages, such as low requirement of the gird data color and quality, high quality conversion results, high efficiency, practicality, no strict with the hardware such as memory, easier integration with GIS software, etc.

    This paper discussed the application pattern of wireless communication technology based on GSM to the fields of alert GIS. This application pattern includes data collecting and data receiving, the former is usually completed at some sites for data collecting, which are distributed discretely in the monitored areas. Each site is equipped with professional sensor, GSM terminal, software system and other auxiliary system for data collecting. Data receiving is always completed on the monitor server which is related to the collecting sites with “one to many ” relation. The data collected at each site will be coded following a specific format and sent to the monitor server through the net of GSM in a manner of short message. When the monitor server receives this kind of short messages, it will decode them following a previously stated protocol and pick up all sorts of needed information, for example, the name of the monitoring station, the spatial coordinate, the detected data and other information, and then the system of alert GIS will analyze these information synthetically and provide some measures to solve the emergencies. In addition, this article has also analyzed some key common technologies and criteria used in this application pattern, such as the rule to code short message, the AT commands to communicate with GSM terminal, the serial communication technology, the multi-thread and synchronization technology, the coding and decoding of the detected data, etc. Finally, it abstracted the commonness of this application pattern, and predicted and prospected the development trend of the application pattern.

    Oracle Spatial is the extended module of Oracle dealing with spatial objects. The advantage of the extended spatial database model is that it makes the integrative storage of attribute data and spatial data come true, independent of the connection of the two kinds of data. And the open storage format for spatial data provides a new way to access spatial data sharable and reuserable in GIS. But the disadvantage is that the indirect operation of spatial data reduces the efficiency greatly, which becomes the choke point for the GIS application system, especially when the application is massive data oriented. In order to improve data accessing efficiency in spatial database based on extended model, we introduce data cache technology, which has made great contribution to relational database’s data accessing capability, into extended spatial database model. This article focuses on the application of client-side caching model in extended spatial database and strikes out the sticking points in the process of caching spatial data in client-side, including choices of spatial data to be cached, consistency maintenance of cache data, spatial data coding technology which is available for the users to limit the cache files’ size in client side, and the basic structure of the cache file. After that, we present some experimental record based on Oracle Spatial. In the conclusion of the article, we point out the main disadvantage of the technology and the continuous work.

    In this paper, discontinuous stratum is partitioned into tetrahedrons for better representation and analysis of its inner structure. In the process, topological relationships of the spatial primitive data objects, such as nodes, edges, faces and voxels, are carefully designed and decomposed topologically at different levels. An object-oriented object manager is proposed to manage these spatial data. Considering the object manager, appropriate data structure and efficient indexing are adopted to organize the spatial objects so as to accelerate the process of confirming the uniqueness of any topological object in the storage list. With the object manager, both the generation of different levels of topological objects and the spatial inquiry efficiency are greatly improved. A case study proved that this method is efficient in real stratum segmentation.

    As an important component of input data, soil information directly impacts the accuracy of the simulation of hydrologic model. Sensitivity of SWAT model to detailed soil information was investigated through comparison of the simulated stream flow produced by using SSURGO and SoLIM as different soil input data. A case study was conducted in Brewery Creek, a 19.5km2 area catchment in Dane County, Wisconsin. The simulation results before and after model calibration both indicate that there is only slight difference between the simulated streamflow. This study reveals the weak sensitivity of SWAT model to detailed soil information in the hydrological modeling of a small watershed. The main reason for lack of insignificant difference is that soil information was highly aggregated in the model and that the use of Curve Number as means for representing soil variability in the model also muted the impact of detailed spatial information.

    A spatial decision support model is built to facilitate and optimize agricultural planning for high quality prime farmlands. These high quality cultivable lands are critical for food supply in China. In recent years, these lands have experienced a rapid decline due to the demand of socio-economic development. In order to protect these lands, an effective and reasonable agricultural plan is necessary to balance between the security of food supply and the demand of economic growth. A spatial decision support model is used to assist this planning process. The planning process is divided into three segments: ① assessment of the quality of present lands, ②identification of planning scenarios for the best use of farmlands, ③final design for farmland planning. The first segment is completed using methods of group analytical hierarchy process and spatial overlay analysis. For the second segment, several planning scenarios are generated using an integer programming model based on the assessment of land quality. The third segment is completed using non-deterministic decision methods to evaluate each scenario and determine the optimum design. The final plan is evaluated by comparing land use practices with the models, which are proved to be successful and effective in land use planning and decision support in recent decades.
