American Kestrel Nest Box Programs have been established since the mid 1960’s. The population of American Kestrels (Falco sparverius) along nest box trails has decreased by 47 percent since their original implementation. There are existing technologies that can help in the location of prime kestrel habitat (open fields with conspicuous perching locations) along highways, which reduces the amount of labor in searching for new box locations. These technologies can also help increase the efficiency of monitoring and maintaining kestrel nest trail programs. This study provides an example of how Google Maps can be implemented into a kestrel trail and explains the multiple benefits of the integration.

Indoor Positioning System (IPS) focuses on locating objects inside Buildings. Till date, GPS has helped us obtain accurate locations outdoors. These locations have helped us in many ways like navigating to a destination point, tracking people etc. Indoor Positioning System aims at navigating and tracking objects inside buildings. [1] IndoorAtlas is a technology that works on the theory of Indoor Positioning System. Book-Hunt is an Android mobile application which majorly makes use of IndoorAtlas therefore making use of the technique of indoor tracking. This Android mobile application is designed for Libraries. It is designed specifically for John M. Pfau Library, CSUSB, to help the students locate a book in the Library. When a student selects a book, a marker is pointed towards the book and also on the student’s current location. This application aims at saving time for student searching a particular book in the Library. Book- Hunt makes use of three tools Android Studio, Google Maps and IndoorAtlas

Mobile wayfinding and guide applications have become indispensable tools for navigating unfamiliar urban spaces. Such applications address locations targeted, “just-in-time” queries, This thesis reports on research examining mobile tool requirements for discovering neighborhood. In the first phase of the research a preliminary study examining how existing online tools were used for neighborhood exploration. We conducted a second study, considering a home buying scenario in two different two areas, to assess limitations of Google Maps. There were issues with switching between spatial views, search, or Street View required the user to switch to Map View. From these and other results we derive a set of design requirements for mobile tools for neighborhood discovery and present a prototype application called Block Party that addresses a number of these requirements. Block Party supports itineraries with numbered waypoints, easy transitions between synchronized spatial views. Future work will evaluate Block Party’s design in another study.

Deste modo, dispositivos como o Google Maps representam a base capaz de desenvolver mapas colaborativos, o que, por sua vez, potencializa novas práticas no espaço geográfico. No mapeamento colaborativo, qualquer pessoa pode construir e personalizar seus temas, roteiros e lugares de preferência, além de poder inserir conteúdos de comunicação como vídeos, fotografias, áudios e textos. Nesses novos mapas, diferente do mapeamento oficial, não há a presença de um especialista em cartografia, que define e certifica o tema mapeado, bem como o enquadramento do assunto em questão (escala). Diante da variedade de mapas colaborativos disponíveis na internet, que se distinguem pelos temas apresentados, pelo processo de criação, pelas formas de acesso, pela presença de blogs e redes sociais, dentre outros aspectos, iremos propor nessa dissertação uma tipologia que atenda a atual fase dessa forma de mapeamento. Assim, buscando uma associação entre o campo da comunicação e da geografia, ao propor essa forma de produzir mapas como um fenômeno do campo da geografia da comunicação.

Målet med det här arbetet har varit att utveckla en friluftsapplikation för människor som rör sig i skog och mark antingen i arbetet eller i privatlivet. Med syfte att låta de skapa och placera ut markörer på en karta med aktivt uppdaterande gps positionering. För att uppnå detta har Google Maps använts som gränssnitt för att hämta och hantera kartinformation och en applikation har designats i flödesscheman utefter kravspecifikationen och i enlighet med Jacob Nielsens användbarhetsprinciper. Hallway test metoden har använts för att utvärdera hur väl användbarhetsdesignen har uppnått sina mål. Applikationen har sedan konstruerats i Java och Android Studio mot Androids mobila plattform. Utvecklingen har följt den planerade designen och uppnått samtliga konkreta mål som specificerades och i synnerhet användbarhetsmålen. Flera funktionella mål har identifierats att kunna optimeras ytterligare och en rad förslag på vidareutveckling av applikationen har tagits fram för eventuella framtida arbeten.

Målet med detta examensarbete var att utveckla en applikation på hemsidan www.gratisbio.se som kunde presentera medlemmarnas positioner på en karta. För att erhålla positioneringsdatan utnyttjades redan befintlig teknik som telefonoperatörerna tillhandahöll. Utvecklingsarbetet innefattade ett web-interface där relevant information kunde visas samt själva kartan som ritades upp med hjälp av Google Maps. Klientdelen av arbetet skrevs i html och JavaScript och serverdelen i PHP, utöver dessa användes format som XML, WSDL och JSON för att skicka information mellan klient och server.   Den färdiga produkten utformades med Gratisbios allmänna utseende i åtanke. Applikationen använder samma färgschema och design vilket gör att den passar naturligt in på sidan.   En utvärdering gjordes också för att se vilka ytterligare tjänster som skulle kunna tänkas vara intressanta för Gratisbio när det gäller positionering av mobiler. De potentiella tjänsterna analyserades utifrån teknisk komplexitet, användbarhet och lönsamhet för att se om de var intressanta för företaget. / The purpose of the thesis was to design an application on the webpage www.gratisbio.se which could present the members locations on a map. Cell phone positions were acquired using existing technology from the service provider. The development consisted of a web interface where relevant information could be shown and a map powered by the Google Maps API. The client application was developed using html and JavaScript, whereas the server application was developed using PHP. For sending data XML, WSDL and JSON were used.   The final product was designed with Gratisbio’s general appearance in mind.

[pt] A crescente urbanização vem gerando grandes e médias cidades, que sem o devido planejamento urbano, enfrentam problemas cotidianos. Dentre esses problemas podem-se destacar aqueles ligados a mobilidade, que mostram que o atual modelo de circulação é caro e impactante. Torna-se assim evidente a necessidade de repensar a mobilidade urbana, incentivando a utilização e evolução de meios de transporte coletivos de qualidade e ambientalmente sustentáveis, contribuindo dessa forma para o desenvolvimento das cidades e para a qualidade de vida de sua população. Uma opção para melhorar a mobilidade é o VLT (Veículo Leve sobre Trilhos) que opera por força da eletricidade, induz a renovação urbana, e atrai usuários de outros transportes coletivos e do transporte individual, contribuindo desta forma para a implantação de uma mobilidade urbana mais sustentável e inclusiva. Deste modo, em 2014 foi iniciado o projeto de implantação de VLT na região central do Rio de Janeiro, e neste trabalho é apresentada a ferramenta de monitoramento de obras criada e utilizada em sua execução. Após análises da ferramenta é possível concluir que este modelo atendeu bem a seus propósitos, principalmente na etapa de planejamento, apresentando um meio de medir o progresso de construção de fácil compreensão, com amplo alcance dentre os gerentes do projeto e online, necessidades crescentes na indústria da construção. Sendo assim, este estudo demonstra um caráter atual, ao tentar desenvolver uma ferramenta que atende a uma demanda na indústria da construção, e inovador já que poucos estudos neste tema foram realizados na construção do VLT. / [en] The increasing urbanization has generated large and medium cities, which without proper urban planning, face daily problems. Among these problems can be detach those linked to mobility, which shows that the current circulation model is expensive and impactful. Becomes evident the need to rethink the urban mobility, encouraging the use and evolution of quality and sustainable means of transportation, thus contributing to the cities development and to the population life quality. An option to improve the mobility is the tramway that operates by electricity force, induces urban renewal, and attracts other collective transportation modes and individual transportation users, thus contributing to a more sustainable and inclusive urban mobility implantation. In this way, in 2014 was started the tramway implantation project in the central zone of Rio de Janeiro, and in this work it is presented a construction work monitoring tool created and used in your execution. After the tool analyses it is possible to conclude that this model served its purposes, mainly in the planning stage, presenting a way to measure the construction progress easy to understand, with wide reach between the project managers and online, construction industry growing needs. Therefore, this study demonstrate itself current, when try to develop a tool that meets a construction industry demand, and innovative since few studies in this theme were realized in the tramway construction.
