Issues in the design of GIS databases for biodiversity assessments

Creator:: Minotti, Priscilla Gail
Abstract:: National and international organizations are developing spatial databases to assess the distribution of Biodiversity using geographic information systems (GIS). Currently, there are no guidelines or standards for building GIS databases for biodiversity assessment because database design is discipline-dependent and most biodiversity disciplines lack spatial traditions. The present research analyzes the...

Accuracy of community-based spatial data collection in a GIS

Creator:: Wood, Matthew N.
Abstract:: Training high school students to conduct field mapping and data collection of wildlife habitat on public lands produces important data for local government geographic information systems and introduces students to the field of geography. However, the positional accuracy of the spatial data is important for use in a GIS, as...

The development of a Geographic Information System (GIS) for the Greenbelt Land Trust of Corvallis, Oregon

Creator:: Scarlett, Desiree
Abstract:: The purpose of this project, therefore, is to develop a GIS for a small geographical area that is currently of high priority to the GLT. The development of this GIS will be documented in a sequential fashion, so that it may serve as a framework for future endeavors. This paper...

Development of a GIS for the Marys River Watershed for fish and wildlife analysis

Creator:: Callahan, Brady
Abstract:: GIS technology has reached a point where it can be utilized by nonprofessionals in a desktop environment. This paper reviews the implementation of a pilot project for developing a localized-natural resource GIS. The resulting GIS was custom designed to answer questions posed by fish and wildlife biologists who need to...

A site suitability model for Acacia koa reforestation on Mauna Kea, Hawai'i, utilizing a GIS

Creator:: Splean, Scott L.
Abstract:: A site suitability analysis for reforestation of the endemic Hawaiian forest tree koa (Acacia koa var. hawaiiensis) was performed. The study will assist the Hawai'i Resource Conservation and Development's (RCD) Forestry Committee in their effort to develop a master land use plan for koa regeneration on the Island of Hawai'i....

The use of GIS in the analysis and prediction of available salmon habitat in an Oregon coastal stream

Creator:: Newton, Ann M.
Abstract:: Because of declines in salmon populations in recent years, the health of salmon habitat, in particular, is the focus of many resource agencies. The objective of this study is to use GIS to predict the location of suitable habitat. With data from an extensive set of stream surveys, GIS was...

Practitioner’s hands and academic eyes : a practical approach to improving disaster preparedness and response

Creator:: Thompson, Wiley C.
Abstract:: This dissertation primarily uses observations made during the 2005 Kashmir earthquake relief effort and available disaster literature to address problems that impede effective and efficient disaster preparedness and response. Three manuscripts form the body of the dissertation. The manuscripts are thematically linked through the Emergency Management Cycle. Each manuscript examines...

The application of spatial data analysis and visualization in the development of landscape indicators to assess stream conditions

Creator:: Buckley, Aileen R.
Abstract:: The main theme of this research is the application of geographic techniques in a study involving environmental monitoring and analysis of the associations between landscape and in-stream characteristics in the Pacific Northwest. The geographic techniques used in this study include (1) geographic information systems (GIS) coupled with statistical analysis and...

Equal contrast tint progressions for computer cartography

Creator:: Bernert, Joseph A.
Abstract:: A psychophysical bisectioning experiment was performed to evaluate equal steps within tint progressions on a high resolution graphics terminal. In the bisectioning experiment each respondent partitioned a tint progression by interactively defining colors that were perceptually equidistant between two previously defined colors. Twenty test subjects performed the test on the...

A Methodology to directly input data from an uncontrolled aerial photograph into a vector based geographic information system

Creator:: Sneed, Jacquelin M.
Abstract:: Historically the U.S. Forest Service has used uncorrected aerial photographs to delineate proposed and past management activities on the land base it manages. Transferring a boundary from an image not planimetrically correct to a planimetrically corrected image introduces errors. Positional accuracy of boundaries affects the number of acres the Forest...
