ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ

Οι εξελίξεις τόσο στο τεχνολογικό, όσο και στον επιστημονικό τομέα, δεν αφήνουν αδιάφορη τη δασική επιστήμη, μέρος της οποίας είναι και η δασική διαχειριστική. Η δασική διαχειριστική ασκείται σχεδόν 5 δεκαετίες και ορίζεται από προδιαγραφές που ισχύουν όλα αυτά τα χρόνια. Είναι επιτακτική ανάγκη να αλλάξουν οι προδιαγραφές αυτές και ήδη υπάρχουν νέες σκέψεις στο θέμα αυτό. Οι νέες προδιαγραφές θα πρέπει να στηρίζονται στην αειφορική διαχείριση των πολλαπλών χρήσεων ή σκοπών, όπως επιτάσσει η παγκόσμια τάση. Πλέον, η αειφορία της ξυλοπαραγωγής θεωρείται ξεπερασμένη και θα πρέπει να δίνεται σημασία στα υπόλοιπα προϊόντα του δάσους και τις λειτουργίες του. Στην κατεύθυνση αυτή κινείται και η παρούσα Μελέτη Προστασίας και Διαχείρισης. Θέλοντας να εφαρμόσει πολλαπλών χρήσεων διαχείριση στη περιοχή μελέτης, που είναι το Δημόσιο Δασικό Σύμπλεγμα Λιβαδερού – Μυρσινέρου – Αετού – Ξηροποτάμου – Καλλιφύτου – Μοναστηρακίου της Περιφερειακής Ενότητας Δράμας (Διαχειριστικής Περιόδου 2014-2023). Για να ολοκληρωθεί η διαχείριση, προτιμήθηκε η λύση των Γεωγραφικών Συστημάτων Πληροφοριών (ΓΣΠ). Οργανώθηκε με όλα τα απαραίτητα η Γεωβάση Δεδομένων, αφού προηγήθηκε συλλογή, επεξεργασία, ταξινόμηση και επέκταση των δεδομένων. Ακολούθησε η χρήση των χωρικών δεδομένων που προέκυψαν, στη λήψη διαχειριστικών μέτρων βάσει την αειφορία των πολλαπλών χρήσεων και την χωρική τους κατανομή.

Λέξεις κλειδιά: διαχείριση, πολλαπλές χρήσεις, πολλαπλοί στόχοι, αειφορία, Γεωγραφικά Συστήματα Πληροφοριών.

Webinar: ArcGIS Online – Transforming GIS and How You Do Your Work

  

 

ArcGIS Online, Esri’s open cloud platform, brings together many of the unique capabilities of desktop, server, and mobile platforms enabling you to participate in using Web GIS and all the related new capabilities. Web GIS will help your organization become more flexible and agile, and transform how your organization works – how you plan, design, evaluate and communicate.

ArcGIS 10.2 Brings Transformational Capabilities to Users

ArcGIS Online Functionality Now Available On Premises

Highlights

• ArcGIS Online capabilities become part of the on-premises platform.
• Real-time mapping and GIS keep users synced with the real world.
• Location analytics equals more accurate business intelligence.
• New developer opportunities are available on the ArcGIS platform.

Portal for ArcGIS allows users to configure and deploy ArcGIS Online capabilities on premises—enabling organizations to easily integrate GIS everywhere.

It's a great time to be a GIS professional. Dramatic changes are taking place in the enabling computing and communication technologies that GIS relies on, and new software is leveraging these changes to evolve and transform GIS and our user community. Esri is working hard and is in the process of releasing many new capabilities in ArcGIS 10.2, such as real-time data integration, online analysis tools, spatial analysis in the cloud, location analytics, new templates and apps, and web story maps for everyone. There are also new capabilities enabling new opportunities for developers. These advances are giving rise to a change in the very way we position GIS, from a software system designed to unlock the power of geographic information to a comprehensive platform that promises to transform your work; your organization; and, ultimately, our world.

Impervious Surface Mapping (Webinar)

Please join us for this one hour webinar and learn how ENVI can be used to map and analyze impervious surfaces for federal, state, and local government applications. Impervious surfaces, which include roofs, sidewalks, driveways, and parking lots, are directly affected by water runoff quantities. Runoff can lead to changes in flood modeling, vegetation cover, and taxation assessments. Additionally, by mapping these impervious surfaces, changes in urban sprawl and building development can be detected.

ArcGIS 10.1 Will Offer Cloud Services, Hosted Map Content, and the New ArcGIS Runtime

ArcGIS: The Road Ahead

Sharing and collaboration will be the primary focus of ArcGIS 10.1, scheduled for release in early 2012.

This release will make it simpler to put mapping and geospatial analytics into the hands of more people without requiring that they be GIS experts. As an ArcGIS user, you will be able to deliver any GIS resource, such as maps, imagery, geodatabases, and tools, as a web service. The ability to access these services will be built into ArcGIS, as well as any application built with one of the ArcGIS APIs.

 

Lidar capabilities available with ArcGIS 10.1

Nathan Shephard introduces the new Lidar capabilities that will be available with ArcGIS 10.1.

ArcGIS For Home Use Program

ArcGIS for Home Use makes GIS available to everyone. This offer is ideal for existing ArcGIS users who want to use the same powerful software at home for noncommercial personal use and for individuals who want to expand their GIS skills. However, anyone can participate in this program.

 

 

Webinar: Strengthen Your ArcMap GIS with ERDAS IMAGINE

International Conservation Mapping Contest AWARDS

The Esri/SCGIS International Conservation Mapping Competition was organized to find and recognize the best conservation mapping work in the world today. We specifically used the term "mapping" in order to take in the wide variety of digital and online work that have expanded our concept of mapping well beyond static paper maps. In all we received over 100 entries representing countries and projects all over the globe. We are especially grateful to the international Society for Conservation GIS, who played a critical role in reviewing and juding all of the entries. Comprised of Conservation GIS practicioners and senior organization staff from every major non-profit conservation group and many environmental agencies and businesses, SCGIS is the foremost society representing and supporting Conservation GIS professionals worldwide (www.scgis.org).

What's New

 

Name Changes for ArcGIS 10.1

Among the changes planned for the early 2012 release of ArcGIS 10.1 will be the names of the various levels of the software program.  ArcView, ArcEditor, and ArcInfo are being dropped for the more self-explanatory nomenclature of ArcGIS for Desktop Basic, ArcGIS for Desktop Standard, and ArcGIS for Desktop Advanced (via APB and James Fee).  The reason for the change?  Esri explains in the Summer 2011 edition of ArcNews:“The reason for these modifications is to reinforce the fact that, regardless of where and how ArcGIS is used, it is the same system.” The new names make far better sense; I always felt the name ArcView should have been dropped when Esri deprecated its ArcView 3.x program.

Geocoding Shortcut: Google Maps to ArcMap

Geocoding a dataset to produce a georeferenced layer requires access to a basemap to which the location data is tied. For example, if you have a list of addresses, you will need a street file with address ranges or a parcel database with addresses in order to geolocate that list. You might also be asked to create a map showing certain locations and will be tasked with creating a dataset from scratch.

In my task, I was handed a photocopied map with handwritten notes. The task: recreate a map of England with select locales. The map (see below) had been hand marked with the desired locations. Getting a boundary layer for the United Kingdom was fairly simple but I didn’t have ready access to a layer of locations. My solution was to create a list of those locations and geocode them. Since I didn’t have a basemap I could load into ArcMap to use for the geocoding, I decided on a workaround using Batchgeo.com and Google Maps.
