The application of GIS and its components in tourism

Abstract

Since the success of any tourism business is determined by tourism planning, development research and marketing, the first thing we review in this article is GIS application for tourism planning. Both tourism and IT increasingly provide strategic opportunities and powerful tools for economic growth, redistribution of wealth and development of equity around the globe. GIS technology offers great opportunities for the development of modern tourism applications using maps. This technology integrates common database operations such as query with the unique visualization and geographic analysis benefits offered by maps. GIS is used for bringing the georeferenced data (spatial and non spatial) of geographic location Zlatibor and Zlatar into digital maps. Each object is assigned to a thematic layer. Each layer combines related objects like roads, building, protected areas or watercourses. In this research the authors used GIS in three types of applications such as inventory, analysis and evaluation of plan based on tourism development

Wind To Select the Recreation Flying Site

“…Direction of Esfahan monthly prevailing wind is described in Figure-(3) using maps to present information in an effective way. Jovanovic and Njegus (2008) Maps are a natural means of indexing and presenting flying wind related information. In the maps, symbol size indicates wind speed and orientation of arrows indicates relative direction of Prevailing wind.…”

“…It takes into account surrounding topography. It allows air paths and air mass exchange to be understood (Jovanovic and Njegus, 2008). For this study, simulated wind data monthly and annual, will be collated, evaluated and considered.…”
