The oceanic climate , located in north quarter of the country

Contrary Mediterranean climate to winter and summer temperatures are

influenced by the ocean, and have no seasonal drought

APPLICATIONS OF GIS

WEB GIS Geographical Information Systems and Geo information on the Internet

increase the possibilities of learning and teaching about territory. Statistical

data, maps (cadastral, land use, geological…) and images of different places

of the world, especially aerial photographs and satellite images, are put on

the Web by a GIS program.

main aim of GIS is to solve territorial problems, but we will try to take

advantage of the Internet of GIS for spatial skills in Geography teaching

Old GIS system

SPAIN AIMS AT MILITARY-CIVILIAN

SATELLITES Spain is on track to become the first European country to have a dual Earth

observation system, radar and optical, for both civilian and military use

Defense Minister Carme Chacon said radar technology installed on the

satellite, which is totally of Spanish design and manufacture, will enable up to

100 images of the Earth's surface to be taken per day at a resolution of up to 1

yard

Chacon stressed that the Paz

satellite, which will be in orbit in 2013,

will be able to detect the position of

any ship in the world that could

possibly become the victim of

hijacking through an automatic AIS

identification system

GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS FOR

WATER RESOURCES EVALUATION

Application of GIS-BALAN to Atlantic basins in Spain :

GIS-BALAN evaluates hydrologic components in a sequential manner

and performs a daily water balance in the upper soil, the unsaturated zone

and the underlying aquifer.

Main window of GIS-BALAN pre-processor

It requires only a few parameters and

incorporates user-friendly interfaces for

data input and post-processing of

results.

Computed groundwater levels and

stream flows can be compared to

measured data for the purpose of

model testing and calibration which

can be performed automatically by

minimizing a least squares criterion

USED OF GIS FOR RURAL LAND USE PLANNING

IN GALICIA (SPAIN)

Changes experienced in rural areas - depopulation, loss of agricultural

activity - or the appearance of new activities or expectations placed upon the

land require support tools for the decision-making process in terms of

connecting activities and territories

Land use planning models included the analysis and evaluation of their main

characteristics

GIS SYSTEM AS A DECISION SUPPORT TOOL FOR

AGRICULTURAL PLANNING IN ARID ZONES OF

SPAIN

objective of this work was to analyze the factors involved in rural

planning to enable the identification of the important agricultural

possibilities and risks related to the province of Almeria, Spain.

Main stages in the creation of this system were:

(a) Information preparation,

(b) Data integration,

(c) Construction of GIS tool (ESTIARA*SIG), and

(d) Exploitation of the information stored at the Ministry of Agriculture of

the Regional Government of Andalusia, Spain, and its updating at the

University of Almeria

A GIS was carried out in the framework of the ESTIARA project, funded by

the Ministry of Agriculture and Fishing of the Regional Government of

Andalusia

FIRE HAZARD MODELS FROM REMOTE

SENSING Digitally processed Thematic Map data were integrated with other

layers of geographic information to derive a forest fire hazard map.

The objective of this project was to establish a reliable method for fire

hazard mapping in a mediterranean environment.

Aspect groups for the fire hazard model. Dark grey, southeast (high

hazard); medium grey, southwest (medium hazard); and white, north

(low hazard):

Use of Geographic Information Systems as a

Decision Support Tool for the Management of

Mediterranean Fisheries

a global approach which has been formalized in order to develop a

computerized simulation tool called FAST (Fishing Activity

Simulation Tool), distributed as an extension of ESRI ArcView GIS

Software.

FAO COPEMED Project GCP/REM/057/SPA, within the framework of

its activities aiming the enhancement of scientific knowledge for a

better management of Mediterranean Fisheries, has led a regional

training activity on the use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS)

EMA Ltd. Slovenia has been selected

by the National Fisheries Authority (NFA)

of Albania to provide an integrated Vessel

Monitoring System (VMS) for fisheries

management.

GIS APPLICATION IMPROVES STADIUM

SECURITY OF FOOTBALL GAMES

These application allows police and emergency responders to track and view

security and safety activities digitally using a Web-enabled, spatial platform

The map displays GIS layers for incidents, rescue squad and police resources,

stadium seating location references, and interior space floor plans overlaid on top

of an aerial view of the stadium and surrounding areas

GIS-FOREST TREE SPECIES IN SPAIN

GIS of tree forest species in Spain This application is a GIS viewer implemented in ArcGIS Server 9.3, with

information about forest tree species included in Spanish RD 289/2003

and in1999-105 European Directive

Use Recommendations of Forest Reproduction Materials

Another Gis-viewer application shows climatic suitability of tree

forest species included in Spanish RD 289/2003 and in1999-105

European Directive, and their use in reforestation

Regions of Provenance in Europe For some important European species, you can access to the Regions of

provenance in Europe, and the national codes used in the marketing of

forest Reproductive material.
