In serving a wide range of geographically dispersed users, librarians need to analyse distance and physical accessibility of public library to ascertain that the community at large has an equal right to utilise in-house library resources. The objectives of this paper were twofold; (a) to analyse patron distance to Petaling Jaya Community Library network. (b) To determine potential library locations...
Introducing a Geospatial Based Infectious Disease Information System (IDIS) in Malaysia as an innovative initiative to control the disease is essential due to local environmental risk factor and public health awareness. Malaria is one of the major disease concerns in rural areas, requiring an efficient system to manage the disease. Most of the current disease information systems used by the local...
Aquaculture has been developed rapidly over the last two decades and had become an important economy for Malaysia. The amount of local oyster has become less due to flood, oil leaks, and disease factors and reduced water quality. The current conventional method used Department of Fisheries (DOF), Marang in monitoring water quality criteria such as salinity, water depth, and water movement is not only...
Limitation of cost and staff skill in using GIS technologies for health sectors are common barriers in developing countries. Cholera is the life-threatening disease that gives a major problem to the global region. This study demonstrates the potential applications open source GIS software and Virtual globes technology (e.g. Google Earth™) in local waterborne outbreaks mapping and analysis. This integrated...
Recent studies has showed that the modification on land use have an impact to hydrology particularly flood and global climate variability. Therefore, the major factor decided to the effect of hydrological responses in contributing flood disaster in this research, is land use changes as well as climate variability. This study tries to provide a framework mainly to apply a semi-distributed hydrological...
The study of urban poverty using high resolution satellite imagery and environmental data set has been widely used in many countries since early year 2000 to estimate, detect and identify the poor areas. By using remote sensing approach the identification of poor area can be pre-predicted without intensively to go to the ground. Due to high life expenses at urban area in Malaysia recently, the investigation...
Integration of the Geographical Information System (GIS) technology and various applications are able to contribute towards reconstructing the dynamic of representation in GIS visualization. WEB-based GIS visualization users like architects, planners, landuse planners and urban designers are capable to visualize the effect of urban, proposed and zoning landuse. It's also capable to predict the results...
Energy is a fundamental and critical component in modern global economy of a country. Industries, education, commercial facilities and people use the energy to enjoy a comfortable standard of living. Thus, energy supply and consumption are an important issue in national economies and quality of life. The inefficient electricity consumption management leads to incur the highest possible cost. Big consumer...
Most of the local university building models are lack of accurate photorealistic visualization and documentation which are significant for efficient conveying spatial information. Digital Close Range Photogrammetry (DCRP) is frequently method to obtain an accurate and practical measurement in the 3D building. This study is to integrate the recent developments in 3D model and photorealistic UiTM building...
Image based modeling and documentation are become important elements in historical or heritage representation. As an alternative method, The Digital Close-range Photogrammetry (DCRP) approach offers a manual and semi automatic measurement process to provide the digital base drawing for creating the three dimensional (3D) model. In this paper overall view of measurement method, visualization and modeling...
The current manual registration system applied by the Majlis Bandaraya Shah Alam (MBSA), Jabatan Agama Islam Selangor (JAIS), and local cemetery visitor in searching death information and grave cemetery location are still operated manually. This paper demonstrated the potential of GIS, GPS, Google earth and other ICT technologies in developing a digital Muslim cemetery information system in Section...
This paper has two (2) principal aims; (1) to investigate the elements that influence residential real estate pricing by developers and; (2) to analyze which factors that are most significant in influencing real estate pricing. Using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) approach, factors and sub-factors were identified and developed into a hierarchy of real estate pricing determinant for the purpose of...
Foodborne diseases (e.g. cholera, dysentery, typhoid, and Hepatitis A) are still considered a threat to human health and economy of a country. The cooperation among governments, the food industries and consumers are essential in order to control the diseases effectively. These emerging diseases can be controlled by implementing an effective technology application and innovation. Geographical information...
The current application of geographical information system (GIS) in health care has been widely practised to channel information, particularly in developed countries. However, in Malaysia, the use of GIS application in healthcare is limited because of lack of exposure in delivering information to users or patients who need government health care center services. The problem that can be detected is...
In Malaysia, the implementation of GIS in the LIS is in early stages and still no extensive studies are done in this field yet. The current problem of the UiTM Library System (OPAC) is to find the exact location of library materials particularly books. GIS is an application with the power of tools which enable a user to manipulate, store, analyze the data or information. The aim of this study was...
