  • College GIS and remote sensing education usually consists of commercial software packages implementations in the classroom. Computer programming is quite important when college graduates work in private or public sectors relevant with GIS and remote sensing implementations. The objective of this paper was to develop a valley management system which implements GIS and remote sensing as the key components for education. The Valley Authority is entitled with water resource protection for sustainable drinking water supply of the second largest city in Taiwan. The test area consists of three different government agencies, Forest Service, EPA, and Water Resource Agency. Materials were provided by the Valley Authority in ArcGIS file format. MapObjects have made the GIS development process much easier. Remote sensing with image manipulation functions were provided by computer programming with Visual Baisc.NET and Visual C#.NET. Attributes inquiry are performed by these two computer languages as well. ArcGIS and ArcPad are also used for simple GIS manipulations of the test area. Comparison between DIY and commercial GIS can be made by college students. Functions provided by the developed valley management system depending on how many map layers have been used and what types of MapObjects components have been used. Computer programming experience is not essential but can be helpful for a college student. The whole process is a step-by-step sequence which college students can modify to depict their capability in GIS and remote sensing. The development process has gone through one semester, three hours every week in 18 weeks. College students enrolled in this class entitled with GIS showed remarkable progresses both in GIS and remote sensing.

  • This study presents a new method for coupling ArcGIS (popular GIS software) with TRaNsient SYstems Simulation (TRNSYS, reference software for researchers and engineers around the world) to use capabilities of the 4 and 5-parameter PV array performance models within the ArcGIS environment. Using the validated and industry-proven solar energy simulation models implemented in TRNSYS and other built-in ArcGIS functionalities, dynamic characteristics of distributed PV potential in terms of hourly, daily or monthly power outputs can be investigated with considerations of diverse options in selecting and mounting PV panels. In addition, the proposed method allows users to complete entire procedures in a single framework (i.e., a preliminary site survey using 3D building models, shading analyses to investigate usable rooftop areas with considerations of different sizes and shapes of buildings, dynamic energy simulation to examine the performances of various PV systems, visualization of the simulation results to understand spatially and temporally distributed patterns of PV potential). Therefore tedious tasks for data conversion among multiple softwares can be significantly reduced or eliminated. While the programming environment of TRNSYS is proprietary, the redistributable executable, simulation kernel and simulation engine of TRNSYS can be freely distributed to end-users. Therefore, GIS users who do not have a license of TRNSYS can also use the functionalities of solar energy simulation models within ArcGIS.

  • There have been growing concerns of algal growth at Daecheong reservoir due to eutrophication with excess nutrient inflow. Rainfall-driven runoff and pollutant from watershed are responsible for eutrophication of the Daecheong reservoir. In this study, two subwatersheds of the Daecheong reservoir were selected and water quality characteristics were analyzed. The L-THIA ArcView GIS model was used for evaluation of direct runoff and water quality. The $R^2$ and the EI value for direct runoff were 0.95 and 0.93 at Wol-oe watershed and were 0.81, 0.71 at An-nae watershed, respectively. The $R^2$ for SS, T-P were 0.53, 0.95 at Wol-oe watershed and 0.89, 0.89 at An-nae watershed, respectively. It has been proven that the L-THIA ArcView GIS model could be used for evaluating direct runoff and pollutant load from the watershed with reasonable accuracies.

  • A modeling technique of land rearrangement was proposed using Geographical Information System(GIS) based on PC ARC/INFO. Three regions with different slopes were chosen. At first, slope angle and direction were calculated, and lands were rearranged using various parameters. The required parameters are obtained from PC ARC/INFO and the design factors for land rearrangement. The shape of land before rearrangement could be compared with the shape of land after rearrangement. Besides the shape comparison, drain site could be determined and the information for cost of land rearrangement could be obtained. The system was integrated on a menu driven style with SML files and subprograms. GIS was proved to be useful for land rearrangement design.

  • Sintered Cu-W has been used for the electrode of GIS for interrupting the abnormal current. In this study the effect of Ni addition in Cu-W electrode was investigated. Cu-W electrodes used contains 0.1~0.2wt% Ni and were conducted the experiments which was attacked by DC arc test (70V-70A) for 300 times periodically. As the contents of Ni in Cu-W electrode increase, the hardness and electrical conductivity were decreased. The weight change ($\Delta$mg) of electrode after DC arc test increased with increasing Ni contents and test times. The hardness and electrical conductivity of electrode after DC arc test were decreased compared with non-arc affected electrode, which was owing to the defects near surface of electrode and degradation by arc heat. It was considered that Cu in the Cu-W electrode was scattered to all directions by arc heat, therefore, the electrodes were damaged and deformed in the surface and cross-section of electrode. It is difficult to estimate directly the characteristics of Cu-W electrode for GIS related with high voltage and current from the results of DC arc test conducted in this study. However, the results of the effect of Ni addition in Cu-W electrode could be applied for the research of electrode for GIS.

  • This paper presents three methods of generating the transportation network data out of the topological geographic database in the hope that the conversion of the geographic database file containing the topology to the conventional node-link type trans¬portation network file may facilitate the integration between transportation planning mod¬els and GIS by alleviating the inherent problems of both computing environments. One way of the proposed conversion method is to use the conversion software that allows the bi-directional conversion between the UTPS (Urban Transportation Planning System) type transportation planning model and GIS. The other two methods of data structure conversion approach directly transform the GIS's user-level topology into the transportation network data topology, and have been introduced with codes programmed with FORTRAN and AML (Arc Macro Language) of ARC/INFO. If used successfully, any approach would not only improve the efficiency of transportation planning process and the associated decision-making activities in it, but enhance the productivity of trans¬portation planning agencies.

  • 최근 GIS를 이용하여 수리 수문학적인 지형인자를 생성할 수 있는 Arc Hydro 등의 다양한 GIS 기반 툴들이 개발되어 왔다. 예를 들어 Arc Hydro는 격자형 고도자료인 수치표고모델(Digital Elevation Model)을 통해 수자원에서 필요로 하는 유로연장, 유역경사 등의 지형인자를 산정할 수 있는 기능을 제공해 주고 있다. 하지만 기존의 GIS 기반 툴에서는 Manning의 평균유속 공식 등 하천수리학에서 매우 중요한 인자인 하천경사를 하천망을 따라 산정하고 표출하는 기능이 부족하였다. 또한 하천경사 산정에 사용되는 여러 GIS 툴을 통해서 제공되는 셀 경사 등 지형인자들의 기계적인 적용으로 정확한 하천경사의 산정에 문제가 있어왔다. 본 논문은 이러한 지형인자들의 적용성을 평가하고 다양한 이론적 하천경사 산정법을 GIS 상에 적용하여 상호 비교하여 최적화된 하천경사 산정방법을 제시하고자 한다. 연구 대상유역으로는 제주도를 선정하였으며, 대상 하천은 Arc Hydro를 이용하여 산정된 하천망의 형태를 수자원관리정보시스템(WAMIS), 위성사진 등과 비교한 후 시범 하천(한천)을 선택하여 여러 하천경사 산정법을 적용해 보았다. 적용된 산정법은 총 4가지로 첫 번째 방법은 수치표고모델의 주변 표고를 고려하여 산정된 기울기를 Arc Hydro를 이용하여 산정된 하천을 따라 산술평균하는 방법이며, 나머지 3가지 방법은 하천망을 따라 흐름방향의 거리와 수치표고모델의 표고를 수집한 후에 단순경사방법, 등면적경사방법, 등가경사방법에 적용하는 방법이다. 산정된 하천경사를 상대비교를 하여 대상유역에 대한 비교검토를 실시하였다. 모든 과정은 프로그램 개발을 통해 자동화 시켜 향후 다른 유역의 적용과 변화 가능한 지형정보를 신속하고 효율적인 예측을 가능할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 주어진 하천망의 두 지점 사이의 종방향 경사를 산정하여 표출하는 기능을 추가하여 하천 경사의 표출방식을 향상시켰다. GIS를 이용하여 산정되어진 하천경사의 적용성이 충분하다면 Manning의 평균유속 공식에 적용할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 다양한 하천분석이 용이해 질 것으로 예상된다.
