There were used two types of critesia in spatial analysis - tourism resources and infrastructure. Spatial model of tourism potential shows the places with the greatest potential to enlarge senior tourism. At the end some suggestions are given how to improve tourism offer for segment of seniors.

This work analyzes tourism intensity in the region of "střední Pootaví". Methods of each analysis and steps of questionairy survey are the main part of that work. Results of those analysis and results of questionairy survey are used as a base for the suggestion of new tourist product - product of rural tourism.

O perigo geológico de escorregamentos é a probabilidade da ocorrência de eventos ou fenômenos desta natureza, induzidos ou não pela atividade humana que podem causar danos humanos, socioeconômicos e ambientais. A cartografia de perigos geológicos de escorregamentos é um importante instrumento para gestão dos territórios para Estados Nacionais, setor privado, ONGs, comunidades locais, organizações científicas, etc. O desenvolvimento da ciência e das técnicas fez surgir diversos métodos de avaliação de perigos de escorregamento. No presente trabalho, o método sintético e o método analítico foram comparados com base em Sistemas de Informação Geográfica (SIG), técnicas de geoprocessamento e modelagem de dados cartográficos. Os atributos utilizados, na forma de matrizes numéricas foram declividade do terreno, densidade de drenagem e de lineamentos, excedente hídrico e cobertura vegetal e uso da terra (índice NDVI). Por meio de procedimentos de álgebra de mapas foi obtido o índice de perigo e elaborados os mapas de perigo de escorregamento. No método analítico o mapa de perigo ficou com uma textura mais granulada e no método sintético aparentou uma textura mais homogênea. A comparação da medida de classes em m² dos métodos coincidiu em 92% na classe muito alto, 90% na classe alto, 89% na classe médio e 90% na classe baixo. Já na tabulação cruzada a porcentagem de intersecção foi de 50% para a classe muito alto, 41% para a classe alto, 52% para a classe médio e 68% para a classe baixo. Concluiu-se que ao invés de opostos, os métodos se mostram adequados para um uso complementar. / Geological hazard due landslides is the likelihood of occurrence of such events or phenomena, either induced or not by human activities that can cause human, social-economic or environmental loss. Landslide hazard maps are important tools for territory management among government, private sector, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO), local communities and academy. The development of science and techniques brought about many methods for landslide assessment. This work aims to compare two approaches: the syntethic and analytical methods based on Geographical Information Systems (GIS), geoprocessing and cartographic data modeling. The used attributes, organised in numeric rasters were declivity, drainage and lineaments density, water excess and vegetation cover and land use (NDVI). Procedures of map algebra resulted in the Landslide Hazard Indexes, from which the hazard maps were generated. The maps were compared and validated across previous risk and suscetibility maps with high correlation results. It was concluded that rather than opposites both methods are suitable for an complementary use.

In spatial analysis, many operations are performed considering the neighbouring locations of a feature. The standard definition of a neighbourhood is an area confined by geometrical length and direction with respect to its focus. When allocating a location for a service, the population distribution is often considered. Standard GIS software includes tools for computations with uniform neighbourhoods, usually equal sized circles. These tools can be used for distribution analysis. Many geographic studies used as basis for city planning decisions use distance as an evaluator. It is a frequent occurrence that the actual distance is approximated using factored straight-line distance. For great distances and large datasets, this is a sufficient means of evaluation, whilst for smaller distances for specific locations, it poses major drawbacks. For distribution analysis in a network space, the neighbourhood would need to be derived from the local set of network features, creating a unique neighbourhood for each location. The neighbourhood can then be used to overlay other datasets to perform analysis of features within the network space. This report describes the application of network distance based neighbourhoods to design a tool, Network Location Analysis, for calculating focal statistics for use as a city planning decision support. The tool has been implemented as a workflow of ArcGIS tools scripted as a Python toolbox. The input required by the tool is a population point layer and a vector network dataset. The output is a grid of points with population statistics as attributes and corresponding neighbourhoods generalized as polygons. The tool has been tested by comparing it to standard focal operations implemented in ArcGIS and by applying it to the dataset used when conducting a study on the location of a new metro station using conventional ArcGIS tools. The results have been analysed and visualized and compared to data used in the study. The result concludes that Network Location Analysis surpasses conventional ArcGIS tools when conducting analysis on features in a network. It derives an accurate set of sum and proximity statistics for all locations within the processing extent, enabling analysis on the population distribution throughout the area and for specific points. The output is intuitive, manageable and can be visualized as raster or by displaying the neighbourhoods as polygons and can be used to evaluate population distribution and network connectivity. The drawbacks of the tool are its lack of robustness, its rigidity to input and the inefficient implementation causing execution time to be unpractical.

Potential environmental fragility studies guide the understanding of susceptibility to degradation in watersheds, and may assist in the prioritization of areas in environmental planning, land management, restoration, forest and soil conservation and preservation. The objective of this scientific investigation was to analyze the potential environmental fragility of the Jequitinhonha river basin in the state of Minas Gerais. The methodology used was based on the establishment of degrees of fragility, from low to extremely high, based on a multi-criteria assessment of a set of environmental information plans: terrain slope, soil classes, geological domains, drainage hierarchy and rainfall. The hierarchical method was applied for decision making and determination of the importance of the criteria through the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), as well as obtaining the index and consistency ratio of the AHP matrix. For the analysis procedures in spreadsheets, the software Excel was used, and for the analyzes in platform GIS, the software ArcGis 10.3.1. The class of potential environmental fragility with greater representativeness is the denominated average fragility, and occurs in an extension of 19.244,1 km ?, equivalent to 30% of the total area of the watershed, that is of 66.319 km ?. An area of 12,430.57 km? (19.4%) of the basin presents low fragility, 18,540.93 km? (28.9%) under slightly low, and the upper and extremely high class represent 10,519.63 km? (16.4 %) and 3,416.15 km? (5.3%), respectively. The Consistency Ratio (RC) calculated for the hierarchy matrix of the criteria for map algebra was 0.0781, within the limits of coherence and reliability acceptable by the AHP methodology. The condition of greater or lesser potential environmental fragility is mainly due to the degree of protection of native vegetation cover, in the context of the forms of occupation of the territory and environmental impacts under which the river basin is subject, conditions that degradation of soils. In addition to the results obtained in this study, further research is required to complement and test the combination of new criteria, which also encompasses different foci of applicability and decision making in the forest, environmental and agrarian sciences.

The investigation of the physical environment has been commonly given with the use of geoprocessing, which has proved a very efficient tool. Within this context, this research aims at analyzing the river basin Puna? (located in the cities of Touros, Rio do Fogo and Pureza, state of Rio Grande do Norte) in several aspects, using geoprocessing as a tool of work, to provide information about the entire watershed. Specifically, this study aimed to update pre-existing maps, such as geological, geomorphological and land use, generating map of environmental vulnerability, under the aspect of erosion susceptibility of the area, generating map of legal incompatibility, identifying areas that are already being employed in breach of environmental legislation; propose solutions to the occupation of the river basin Puna?, focused on environmental planning. The methodology was based on the use of geoprocessing tools for data analysis and to make maps of legal incompatibility and environmental vulnerability. For the first map was taken into account the environmental legislation regarding the protection of watersheds. For the vulnerability analysis, the generated map was the result of crossing the maps of geology, geomorphology, soils and land use, having been assigned weights to different attributes of thematic maps, generating a map of environmental vulnerability in relation to susceptibility to erosion. The analysis results indicate that agriculture is the most significant activity in the basin, in total occupied area, which confers a high degree of environmental vulnerability in most of the basin, and some agricultural areas eventually develop in a manner inconsistent with Brazilian environmental legislation. It is proposed to consider deploying a measure of revitalization of the watershed in more critical areas and conservation through mitigation measures on the causes of environmental degradation, such as protection of water sources, protection and restoration of riparian vegetation, protection of permanent preservation areas, containment of erosion processes in general, and others listed or not in specific laws, and even the establishment of a committee of basins in the area / Fornecer dados e informa??es a respeito de bacias hidrogr?ficas se torna importante uma vez que o conhecimento de suas caracter?sticas f?sicas, de uso e ocupa??o do solo, etc., permite um melhor planejamento e uso sustent?vel do ponto de vista econ?mico, social e ambiental deste espa?o. A investiga??o do meio f?sico tem-se dado comumente com o uso de geotecnologias, o que tem se mostrado uma metodologia bastante eficaz. Dentro deste contexto, esta pesquisa tem por objetivo analisar a bacia hidrogr?fica do rio Puna? (inserida nos munic?pios de Touros, Rio do Fogo e Pureza, estado do Rio Grande do Norte), sob diversos aspectos, utilizando o geoprocessamento como ferramenta de trabalho, de forma a fornecer informa??es a respeito de toda a bacia hidrogr?fica em quest?o. Especificamente, este trabalho objetivou atualizar mapas pr?-existentes, de geologia, geomorfologia e uso e ocupa??o; gerar mapa de vulnerabilidade ambiental, sob o aspecto da susceptibilidade ? eros?o da ?rea; gerar mapa de incompatibilidade legal, identificando as ?reas que j? estejam sendo ocupadas em desconformidade com a legisla??o ambiental; propor solu??es para a ocupa??o da bacia hidrogr?fica do rio Puna?, voltadas para o planejamento ambiental. A metodologia baseou-se no uso de ferramentas de geoprocessamento para an?lise dos dados bem como para a confec??o dos mapas de incompatibilidade legal e vulnerabilidade ambiental. Para o primeiro mapa, foi levada em considera??o a legisla??o ambiental no que concerne a prote??o de bacias. Para a an?lise de vulnerabilidade, o mapa gerado foi fruto do cruzamento dos mapas de geologia, geomorfologia, solos e uso e ocupa??o, tendo sido atribu?dos pesos aos diferentes atributos dos mapas tem?ticos, gerando um mapa de vulnerabilidade ambiental no tocante ? susceptibilidade ? eros?o. Os resultados das an?lises indicam que a agricultura ? a atividade mais expressiva na bacia, em total de ?rea ocupada, o que confere um alto grau de vulnerabilidade ambiental na maior parte da bacia, sendo que algumas ?reas agr?colas acabam por se desenvolver de forma incompat?vel com a legisla??o ambiental brasileira. Prop?ese considerar a implanta??o de medida de revitaliza??o da bacia hidrogr?fica em ?reas mais cr?ticas e conserva??o atrav?s de medidas mitigadoras sobre as causas de degrada??o ambiental, como a prote??o de nascentes, prote??o e restaura??o da mata ciliar, prote??o de ?reas de preserva??o permanente, conten??o de processos erosivos em geral, dentre outros previstos ou n?o em leis espec?ficas, e ainda a instaura??o de um comit? de bacias na ?rea

This project attempted to combine digital data sets to define and map geologic features in the Sparta and Montpelier quadrangles of Chickasaw and Clay counties in northeastern Mississippi. LANDSAT TM, digital elevation, and soil permeability data was used in conjunction with reference data for the Sparta quadrangle to build a computer model. Variables used in the model were: geology, slope, soil permeability, vegetation indices, the first three bands of a tasseled cap transformation, and drainage frequency. The data used was LANDSAT TM 30 meter imagery, digital elevation models, also at 30 meter resolution, Penn State STASGO soils data, and the existing map of the Sparta quadrangle. The purpose of this project was to use digital data to remotely map geologic features through heavy vegetation using a computer model. While the results of this project were not completely successful, the methods used show some potential for future application.
