The purpose of this thesis is to test the validity of applications of Remote Sensing and Geographical Information Systems in Anatolian archaeology. The focus of the study is an Iron Age fortress &Ccedil / evre Kale and its associated structures. During the course of the study, 5 km long outer wall enclosing a territory around &Ccedil / evre Kale documented for the first time by employing high altitude aerial imagery. In addition to the GIS analyses, examination of the geology, land use and soil quality data showed that the outer wall is in a way acting to guard and protect inhabitants of the fortress and, perhaps more importantly, the well-watered pasture surrounding the fortress and demarcated by the enclosure wall. Evaluation of the available archaeological and historical evidence suggested that &Ccedil / evre Kale might be of a site with significant military importance at least in the first half of the 6th century BC. As a result, this thesis is underlying the importance of high and low altitude aerial imagery in terms of documentation, evaluation and monitoring of the archaeological sites as part of the archaeological research

Thesis (MScEng (Industrial Engineering))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The world is facing an energy crisis with worldwide energy consumption rising at an alarming rate. The effects that fossil fuels have on the environment are also causing concern. For these two reasons the world is determined to find ‘cleaner’, renewable and sustainable energy sources. The Cape Winelands District Munisipality (CWDM) area has been identified as the study area for a bioenergy project. The CWDM project aims to determine the possibility of producing bioenergy from lignocellulosic biomass, and transporting it as economically as possible to a number of electricity plants within the study area. From the CWDM project a number of research topics were identified. The aim of this thesis is to determine the best location for one or more processing plants that will maximise the potential profit through the entire system. This is achieved by minimising the overall life cycle cost of the project. It takes into account costs from establishing and maintaining the crops, harvesting, transportation, conversion and generation; with a strong focus on the transport costs. In conjunction with a Geographical Information Systems (GIS) specialist and taking into account various factors such as electricity demand, heat sales and substation locations, 14 possible plant locations were identified. The possible supply points for each of the 14 plant locations were then analysed by GIS again to yield data in terms of elevation, road distances and slope. The transport costs were calculated using the Vehicle Cost Schedule (VCS) from the Road Freight Association (RFA) and fuel consumption calculations. It takes into account slope, laden and unladen transport and considers different transport commodities. These calculations together with the other associated costs of the life cycle are then combined with the results of the GIS into an EXCEL file. From this a transportation optimisation model is developed and the equivalent yearly life cycle cost of each of the 14 demand points are minimised by means of LINGO software. Initially runs were done for 2.5 MW capacity plants. From the high profit areas identified here, a single area was chosen and further runs were done on it. These runs were performed to determine the effect of different plant capacities on the life cycle costs, as well as how it affects the farm gate price that can be paid to the farmer. It also determined the effect of farmer participation at different plant capacities. The results indicate that it is currently possible to pay a farmer between R 300.00 and R 358.00 for a ton of biomass. It also revealed that with higher participation from farmers in the CWDM project, lower costs and higher farm gate prices will result, since the transport costs will be lower. Although all the costs within the life cycle are variable over time, the transport cost is the only cost that varies spatially and this will have a major effect on the overall system cost. The thesis found that generating electricity from woody biomass is feasible for all areas that were considered as well as for all variations considered during the sensitivity analysis. For the recommended plant size of 5 MW the transport of logs will be optimum. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die tempo waarteen energieverbruik wêreldwyd styg is ʼn rede tot kommer. Die nadelige effek wat fossiel brandstowwe op die omgewing het, is ook ʼn probleem. Hierdie twee redes is hoofsaaklik wat die wêreld dryf om ‘skoner’ hernieubare en volhoubare energie bronne te vind. Die Kaapse Wynland Distrik Munisipaliteit (KWDM) area is identifiseer as ʼn studie area vir ʼn bio-energie projek. Die doel van die KWDM projek is om die vervaardiging van bio-energie vanaf plantasies, die vervoer van hierdie bome sowel as die prosessering koste by die fabriek te bepaal en te evalueer. Vanuit die KWDM projek het `n aantal tesisse ontwikkel waarvan hierdie een is. Die doel van hierdie tesis is om die beste posisie vir een of meer prosesserings fabrieke te bepaal wat die potensiële wins van die KWDM projek sal maksimeer. Dit is ook gemik daarop om die ekwivalente jaarlikse oorhoofse lewenssiklus koste van die projek te minimeer. Dit neem die vestiging en onderhoud van gewasse, oeskostes, vervoerkostes en proseskostes in ag, met ʼn spesifiek fokus op die vervoerkoste. In samewerking met `ʼn “Geographical Information Systems” (GIS) spesialis en deur verskeie faktore, soos elektrisiteitsverbruik, inkomste vanaf hitte verkope en substasie posisies, in ag te neem is 14 moontlike fabriek posisies identifiseer. Verder is die moontlike voorsienings areas van elk van die 14 fabriek posisies weer deur GIS analiseer om resultate in terme van hoogte bo seespieël, padafstand en helling te verkry. Die vervoerkostes is verkry vanaf die “Vehicle Cost Schedule” (VCS) van die “Road Freight Association” (RFA), asook berekeninge wat die brandstof verbruik in ag neem. Hierdie kostes sluit in die effek van gradiënt, gelaaide en ongelaaide vervoer sowel as verskillende vervoer produkte. Hierdie berekeninge sowel as die ander kostes in die siklus en die resultate van GIS is kombineer in ʼn EXCEL leer. Hierdie data word dan gebruik om ʼn LINGO model te ontwikkel en die oorhoofse lewenssiklus koste van elk van die 14 fabriek posisies te minimeer. Optimering is gedoen vir 2.5 MW kapasiteit fabrieke. Uit die beste areas is een area identifiseer en verdere lopies is daarop gedoen. Die doel van hierdie lopies is om die effek van verskillende fabriekskapasiteit op die lewensiklus koste te bepaal, asook die effek daarvan op die prys wat aan die boer betaal word vir hout. Hierdie lopies is ook gebruik om die effek van boer deelname te bepaal. Die resultaat dui aan dat dit tans moontlik is om ʼn boer tussen R 300.00 en R 358.00 te betaal vir ʼn ton biomassa. Dit het ook gewys dat hoe meer boere deelneem aan hierdie projek hoe laer is die oorhoofse lewensiklus koste en hoe hoër is die prys wat betaal kan word vir hout aangesien die vervoerkoste laer sal wees. Alhoewel al die lewensiklus kostes veranderlik is oor tyd, is dit net die vervoerkoste wat ʼn ruimtelike komponent ook het en dit sal ʼn groot effek op die oorhoofse lewenssiklus koste hê. Die tesis bevind dat dit lewensvatbaar is vir alle areas in die studie om elektrisiteit op te wek vanaf hout biomassa, selfs al word die uiterse variasie in die sensitiwiteitsanalise gebruik. Vir die aanbeveling van ʼn 5 MW fabriek sal die goedkoopste vervoer opsie boomstompe wees.

Since Dengue fever (DF) and its related forms, Dengue Hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS) have become important health concerns worldwide, it is also imperative to develop methods which will help in the analysis of the incidences. Dengue fever cases are growing in number as it also invades widely, affecting larger number of countries and crossing climatic boundaries. Considering that the disease as of now has neither an effective vaccine nor a cure, monitoring in order to prevent or control is the resorted alternative. GIS and its related technologies offer a wealth of interesting capabilities towards achieving this goal. The intention of this study was to develop methods to describe dengue fever outbreaks taking Rio de Janeiro, Brazil as a case study. Careful study of Census data with appropriate attributes was made to find out their potential influence on dengue fever incidence in the various regions or census districts. Dengue incidence data from year 2000 to year 2008 reported by the municipal secretariat of Rio was used to extract the necessary census districts. Base map files in MapInfo format were converted to shape files.  Using ArcGIS it was possible to merge the dengue fever incidence data with the available base map file of the City of Rio according to corresponding census districts. Choropleth maps were then created using different attributes from which patterns and trends could be used to describe the characteristic of the outbreak with respect to the socio-economic conditions. Incidence data were also plotted in Excel to see temporal variations. Cluster analysis were performed with the Moran I technique on critical periods and years of dengue outbreak. Using the square root of dengue incidence from January to April 2002 and 2008, inverse distance was selected as the conceptualised spatial relationship, Euclidean distance as the distance method. More detailed analyses were then done on the selected critical years of dengue outbreak, (years 2002 and 2008), to investigate the influence of socio-economic variables on dengue incidence per census district.   Dengue incidence rate appeared to be higher during the rainy and warmer months between December and May. Outbreaks of dengue occurred in years 2002 and 2008 over the study period of year 2000 to 2008. Some factors included in the census data were influential in the dengue prevalence according to districts. Satisfactory results can be achieved by using this strategy as a quick method for assessing potential dengue attack, spread and possible enabling conditions. The method has the advantage where there is limited access to field work, less financial means for acquisition of data and other vital resources. A number of difficulties were encountered during the study however and leaves areas where further work can be done for improvements. More variables would be required in order to make a complete and comprehensive description of influential conditions and factors.  There is still a gap in the analytical tools required for multi-dimensional investigations as the ones encountered in this study.  It is vital to integrate ‘GPS’ and ‘Remote Sensing’ in order to obtain a variety of up-to-date data with higher resolution.

This paper aims at presenting a tool for the support of management of water distribution nets in a pilot area in the city of Goiânia GO. The application of GIS tool integrated to the hydraulic model had sectors Parque Ateneu and Jardim Mariliza as sceneries, with the purpose of evaluating the building difficulties of those models (plural) and its use as a tool for this paper. Concerning the building of the models, we used geoprocessing resources in order to integrate graphic databases and water system typical alphanumerics, especially net technical registration, urban map reference, altimetry map, and consumption profile, used as case study. The building process shows the EPANET DC Water Design Extension at stages CAD, GIS, and finally in the integration procedure for the adopted hydraulic simulation program. Finally, the model was used for the evaluation of the system deployed. In this research chose to develop a method of semi-automatic connection of the nodes of the units of consumption consuming, this method can avoid the duplicity of associations, allowing only one connection in each unit, one of the advantages of this method is the control that operator is at the link, node can determine which is closest to the consumer unit. The results show that we can produce information for the improvement of general knowledge of the delivery system because what occurs is large spread of information inside the company in charge of the management / As companhias de água têm a complexa tarefa de fornecer água, atendendo a crescente demanda, que exige maior quantidade de ligações ativas, que consequentemente acarreta em um aumento na extensão da rede e um maior volume de água produzida. Esta dissertação apresenta uma ferramenta no suporte ao gerenciamento das redes de distribuição de água de uma área piloto na cidade de Goiânia-Go. A aplicação da ferramenta SIG integrada ao modelo hidráulico, teve como cenário os bairros Parque Ateneu e Jardim Mariliza, com o objetivo de avaliar as dificuldades de construção de tais modelos e seu uso como ferramenta para esse trabalho. No tocante à construção dos modelos, utilizou-se recursos de geoprocessamento para integrar bases de dados gráficas e alfanuméricas típicas de sistemas de água, em especial, o cadastro técnico da rede, o mapa urbano de referência, o mapa de altimetria e o perfil de consumo, usada como estudo de caso. Demonstra o processo de construção nas etapas CAD, GIS e finalmente no procedimento de integração para o programa de simulação hidráulica adotado, o EPANET extensão DC WATER. Por fim, o modelo foi empregado para a avaliação do sistema implantado. Na presente pesquisa optou por desenvolver um método de ligação semi-automática dos nós de consumo as unidades de consumidoras, neste método é possível evitar a duplicidade de associações, permitindo apenas uma ligação em cada unidade, uma das vantagens desse método é o controle que o operador tem no momento da ligação, podendo definir qual nó está mais próximo da unidade consumidora.Os resultados demonstraram que podem ser produzidas informações para melhoria do conhecimento geral do sistema de abastecimento, pois o que ocorre é a grande dispersão de informação dentro da empresa gestora

To achieve this, an updated cartographic base has been structured containing biophysical aspects of the area, followed by a multi-temporal mapping of all changes occurred to the land‟s usage and coverage during the years of 2005 and 2011, using images from the Landsat-5 satellite. Finally, all the aspects in the land‟s usage that go against the environmental legislation were identified. The area analyzed is a conservation unit for sustainable use, located in the interfluve of Rivers Negro and Solimões, in the state of Amazonas, Brazil. Its perimeter crosses part of the Iranduba, Manacapuru and Novo Airão cities, all belonging to the metropolitan area of Manaus. Maps were generated for each of the following topics: soil, geology, geomorphology, hypsometry, declivity, hydrography, drainage network, vegetation, deforestation and areas of permanent preservation. The soil class Yellow Podzolic Latosol is predominant in 79.22% of the area. The geological set named Formação Alter do Chão corresponds to 78.51% of the surface. The morphostructural unit Dissected Highlands of the Negro and Uatumã Rivers, dominates geomorphologically with 88.37%. 69.07% is the percentage of ground layers situated between 50 and 80 m of altitude. The relief is predominantly flat and mildly hilly in 81.27% of the surface. The total extension of river channels was calculated in 5,769.28 km that corresponds to a drainage density of 1.27 km/km². The dense ombrophilous forest represents 80.6% of the surface. The accumulated deforestation until 2005 was of 431.06 km² corresponding to 9.25% of the extension of environmental protection area. In the following 6 years the deforestation continued to grow on a yearly average of 3.04%. In 2011 the total deforestation has reached 515.83 km² that represents a growth of 19.66% of the deforested area in the period. The areas of permanent preservation, mainly riparian forests and springs, occupy 11.72% of the area and, of this total, 15.72% have a greater human impact and are considered to have a conflicted usage. The area shows a worrying and accelerated process of human impact influenced mainly by the red ceramics industries and roads. A better application of public policies, that helps arrange and discipline the land‟s occupation and usage, together with a change in the energy matrix adopted nowadays by the local ceramic industry can help to slow down the process of human impacts to forests in the future. / Essa pesquisa teve como objetivo estudar a dinâmica recente do processo de uso e cobertura da terra na Área de Proteção Ambiental da Margem Direita do Rio Negro, Setor Paduari - Solimões, com o uso de técnicas de sensoriamento remoto e Sistema de Informações Geográficas SIG. Para isso, foi estruturada uma base cartográfica atualizada com os aspectos biofísicos da área, seguido de mapeamento multitemporal das alterações ocorridas no uso e cobertura da terra entre os anos de 2005 a 2011 utilizando-se de imagens do satélite Landsat-5 e, por fim, foram identificados os conflitos de uso da terra frente a legislação ambiental. A área estudada trata-se de uma unidade de conservação estadual de uso sustentável, localizada no interflúvio dos rios Negro e Solimões, no estado do Amazonas. Seu perímetro alcança parte dos municípios de Iranduba, Manacapuru e Novo Airão, todos pertencentes a região metropolitana de Manaus. Foram gerados mapas com os temas: solos, geologia, geomorfologia, hipsometria, declividade, hidrografia, rede de drenagem, vegetação, desflorestamento e áreas de preservação permanentes. A classe de solos Latossolo Amarelo predomina em 79,22% da área. O conjunto geológico Formação Alter do Chão corresponde a 78,51% da superfície. A unidade morfoestrutural Planalto Dissecado dos rios Negro e Uatumã predomina geomorfologicamente com 88,37%. É de 69,07% o percentual de estratos do terreno situados entre 50 a 80 m de altitude. O relevo predominante vai de plano a suavemente ondulado em 81,27% da superfície. A extensão total dos canais fluviais calculada foi de 5.769,28 km que corresponde a uma densidade de drenagem de 1,27 km/km². As florestas ombrófilas densas recobrem 80,6% da superfície. O desflorestamento acumulado até o ano de 2005 foi de 431,06 km², correspondente a 9,25% da extensão da A.P.A.. Nos seis anos seguintes o desflorestamento avançou em média 3,04% ao ano, chegando ao ano de 2011 com total de 515,83 km² que representa um crescimento de 19,66% da área desflorestada no período. As áreas de preservação permanente, basicamente matas ciliares e nascentes, ocupam 11,72% da área desse total, 15,72% estão antropizadas e consideradas com uso conflituoso. A área apresenta um preocupante e acelerado processo de antropização influenciado principalmente pelo pólo oleiro e rodovias. Intensificar políticas públicas capazes de ordenar e disciplinar a ocupação e uso da terra aliada à mudança da matriz energética atualmente empregada nas indústrias de cerâmicas que operam localmente pode ajudar a desacelerar o avanço do processo antrópico sobre as áreas de floresta no futuro.

O processo de verticalização do bairro Jardim Anália Franco apresenta-se como marco de modernidade da cidade, fruto do avanço técnico-científico e da capacidade de mobilização de vários atores sociais. No entanto, através da análise empírica de tal processo, verifica-se que sua materialidade no espaço pode se apresentar como vetor de fragmentação do território. O SIG, com seus modernos recursos de sensoriamento remoto, oferece possibilidade de estudo sistemático de tal fenômeno. Acredita-se que, a partir da cartografia, possa-se analisar configurações espaciais que apoiarão futuros estudos no campo da geografia urbana. / The verticalization process of Jardim Anália Franco neighborhood present itself as a mark of the modenity of the city, product from de technical advance and capacity of mobilization from many social actors. However, through the empirical analysis of that process, it appears that its materiality in space can be presented as vector of the territory. The GIS, with its modern resources of remote sensing, offers possibility of systematic study of this phenomenon. Its believed that, from the mapping, can be examined spatial configurations that will support future studies in the field of urban geography.

This thesis provides a tool to determine the maximum capacity, of a given power grid, when connecting distributed photovoltaic parks including the optimal allocation of the parks taking the power grid configuration into account. This tool is based on a computational model that evaluates the hosting capacity of the given grid through power flow simulations. The tool also integrates a geographic information system that links suitable land areas to nearby substations that can host photovoltaic parks. The mathematical model was tested on different cases in the municipality of Herrljunga, Sweden, where it was determined to be possible to connect 47 photovoltaic parks of 1MWp to the power grid as well as the most appropriate substations to allocate them to without the need for grid reinforcements. Additionally, the concept of grid cost allocation is presented and briefly discussed while analysing the results in relation to national energy targets.
