“…A GIS is a system for the management, analysis, and display of geographic knowledge, which is represented using a series of information data. In a GIS, homogeneous collections of geographic objects are organized into a series of data themes, or layers, that cover a given map, for example: roads, rivers, place names, buildings, parcels, political boundaries, surface elevation, and satellite imagery (Benedikt et al, 2002).…”

“…GIS in general are considered to precisely represent points, areas and lines on earth. Uncertainties (due to vague as well as ambiguous data), however, remain inherent when using linguistic data as representation of spatial knowledge (Benedikt, Reinberg & Riedl, 2002, 2004; Kratochwil & Benedikt, 2005). These uncertainties can be addressed with weighting algorithms; we intend to experiment with spatial weights using ordered weighted averaging operators in ensuing research.…”

This paper presents the results of the first investigation into Kurdish linguistic varieties and their spatial distribution. Kurdish dialects are used across five nation states in the Middle East and only one dialect, Sorani, has official status in one of these nation states. The study employs the “draw-a-map” task established in Perceptual Dialectology; the analysis is supported by Geographical Information Systems (GIS). The results show that, despite the geolinguistic and geopolitical situation, Kurdish respondents have good knowledge of the main varieties of their language (Kurmanji, Sorani, and the related variety Zazaki) and where to localize them. Awareness of the more diverse Southern Kurdish varieties is less definitive. This indicates that the Kurdish language plays a role in identity formation, but also that smaller isolated varieties are not only endangered in terms of speakers, but also in terms of their representations in Kurds’ mental maps of the linguistic landscape they live in.

“…Geographic Information System (GIS) is a very useful tool for crop research and weed control since agricultural products are location‐dependent. A GIS is required to monitor the geographical aspects of the agricultural environment because of how important agriculture is (Benedikt et al, 2002). One of the most crucial applications of GPS is to capture geographic data to map the spread of weeds (Partel et al, 2019).…”

Sinapis arvensis (wild mustard) is a competitive weed of oilseed rape in Iran. The spatial distribution of S. arvensis and its habitat suitability zonation in Fars Province, Iran, was studied using frequency ratio (FR) and weights-of-evidence (WofE) statistical and probabilistic models in a geographic information system. For this purpose, a dataset was prepared of weed presence/absence in oilseed rape fields across Fars Province and measures of different effective factors, including elevation, distance from roads, distance from rivers, pH, electrical conductivity, mean annual temperature, mean annual rainfall, slope degree, slope aspect, plan curvature and physical properties of the soil were collected from the sites. Boruta machine learning method was used to determine the significance of each variable that was used to map the geographical distribution of wild mustard and the appropriateness of its habitat. Using the area under the curve and receiver operating characteristic, the accuracy of the habitat suitability zonation maps generated from the FR and WofE models was assessed (AUC-ROC). The results indicated that AUC-ROC values for the FR and WofE models were 91% and 88% respectively. FR and WofE are good methods for predicting the likelihood of S. arvensis occurring in a oilseed rape field. Finally, the resulting weed distribution map can aid decision makers and managers in identifying areas that require enhanced management in future plans.
