“…The validity of our study has been supported by other case studies that focus on the design, development and analysis of user-centered, novel collaborative geovisualization tools [68][69][70]. Studies are consistent in that an easy-to-use graphical user interface, decision support based on spatial data and the integration of data into other platforms are essential for efficient geovisualization [69,70]. However, it should be underlined that while innovative geovisualization web applications published on the basis of current trends are supported by a wide range of standards, development tools and frameworks, the inclusion of the latest IT technologies (Big Data, Cloud, Artificial Intelligence) offers an interesting research challenge.…”

The provision of webGIS-based water quality data services has become a priority area for both the public and administrative sectors in the context of the pandemic emergency associated with the global spread of COVID-19. Current geographic, monitoring and decision supporting systems, typically based on web-based geospatial information, greatly facilitate the sharing of spatial and temporal data from environmental databases and real-time analyses. In the present study, different water quality indices are determined, compared and geovisualized, during which the changes in the quality of the shallow groundwater resources of a settlement are examined in the period (2011–2019) in an eastern Hungarian settlement. Another objective of the research is to determine three water quality indices (Water Quality Index, CCME Water Quality Index, Contamination degree) and categorize water samples based on the same input spatial and temporal data using self-developed freely available geovisualization tools. Groundwater quality was assessed by using different water quality indices. Significant pollution of the groundwater in the time period before the installation of a sewage network was shown. Regarding water quality, significant positive changes were shown based on all three water quality indices in the years after installing a sewage network (2015–2019). The presence of pollution apart from the positive changes suggests that the purification processes will last for a long time.

“…The suggested routes are supported by photographic material and a live preview of the route, providing modern technological services in a fresh and comprehensible way, as every Web-GIS model should be [37], which is particularly important for an area of antiquities such as Kynouria, which is far away regarding other monuments in Greece. In contrast to the standard multi-criteria spatial decision-making support systems, the possibility of discussion can be easily activated thanks to the design chosen and the modern technological tools at no extra cost for software, as our implementation is based to open-source projects [35,38].…”

On the occasion of Kynouria and in order to achieve the protection and projection of antiquities, a web-based model is proposed for highlighting individual monuments and archaeological sites, having in mind the historical and archaeological evidence of the region, the topography, the demographic profile, and the tourist infrastructure, and combining them with the development programs for cultural routes. Therefore, creating suitable databases and mapping the monuments in the area are key prerequisites of the process, as they contribute to an objective assessment of the current situation and to make rational decisions. In this frame, modern technology provides some important planning tools (GIS, GPS, and OMS) that allow for the recording and mapping of data, viewing the relationships between them in the area where they appear, and managing their projection. The complete study of Kynouria's archaeological routes contains the implementation of a website using free or open-source software, which should include all the necessary procedures and the historical and archaeological information material (text, maps, and photographs).

“…Examples of WebGISs have been developed in various fields, including radon risk management [9] and a risk assessment system for heavy metal pollution [10], georeferenced bibliographies [11], wastewater treatments [12] and water environment monitoring and management systems [13], planning and emergency phases in case of floods [14], transport infrastructure management [15], management of abandoned mines [16], civic education on peace and conflict [17], and as a landslide early warning system [18].…”

WebGIS Implementation for Dynamic Mapping and Visualization of Coastal Geospatial Data: A Case Study of BESS Project

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Within an E.U.-funded project, BESS (Pocket Beach Management and Remote Surveillance System), the notion of a geographic information system is an indispensable tool for managing the dynamics of georeferenced data and information for any form of territorial planning. This notion was further explored with the creation of a WebGIS portal that will allow local and regional stakeholders/authorities obtain an easy remote access tool to monitor the status of pocket beaches (PB) in the Maltese Archipelago and Sicily. In this paper, we provide a methodological approach for the implementation of a WebGIS necessary for very detailed dynamic mapping and visualization of geospatial coastal data; the description of the dataset necessary for the monitoring of coastal areas, especially the PBs; and a demonstration of a case study for the PBs of Sicily and Malta by using the methodology and the dataset used during the BESS project. Detailed steps involved in the creation of the WebGIS are presented. These include data preparation, data storage, and data publication and transformation into geo-services. With the help of different Open Geospatial Consortium protocols, the WebGIS displays different layers of information for 134 PBs including orthophotos, sedimentological/geomorphological beach characteristics, shoreline evolution, geometric and morphological parameters, shallow water bathymetry, and photographs of pocket beaches. The WebGIS allows not only for identifying, evaluating, and directing potential solutions to present and arising issues, but also enables public access and involvement. It reflects a platform for future local and regional coastal zone monitoring and management, by promoting public/private involvement in addressing coastal issues and providing local public administrations with an improved technology to monitor coastal changes and help better plan suitable interventions.
