The influence of map complexity on interpolation accuracy.pdf

Creator:: Young, Brian K.
Abstract:: In this paper "map complexity" refers to the inherent intricacy of a mapped geographic pattern. Map complexity and sample size are two variables shown to influence the accuracy of interpolated dasymetric maps. An automated experiment was designed to investigate the precise relationship among map complexity, sample size, and the accuracy...

Resilience and adaptability of transboundary rivers : the principle of equitable distribution of benefits and the institutional capacity of the Nile Basin

Creator:: Iyob, Biniam
Abstract:: Biophysical, socioeconomic and geopolitical pressures from population growth and economic development are leading to an increase in tensions regarding the sharing of water within transboundary basins. Transboundary basins are surface rivers and groundwater resources that are shared among sovereign nations and autonomous regions. This dissertation focuses on surface water in...

Perceptions of pack and saddle stock in wilderness: a historical and geographical review of a resource conflict

Creator:: Capozza, Togan
Abstract:: It has long been acknowledged that recreation activities can cause conflict among stakeholders with different perspectives. In 1949, Aldo Leopold, one of the earliest proponents of wilderness preservation, noted "Public policies for outdoor recreation are controversial. Equally conscientious citizens hold opposite views on what is and what should be done...

Geographic Information System (GIS) resource inventories: the Marys River Project

Creator:: Chapman, Shannen S.
Abstract:: The Greenbelt Land Trust (GLT) (a grass-roots conservation group in Oregon) is interested in a conservation plan for the Marys River Corridor. To facilitate this effort, a resource inventory was required and a Geographic Information System (GIS) data base used to compile the inventory (called the Marys River Project (MRP))....

A comparison and contrast of pcARC/INFO vs. AutoCAD

Creator:: Smith, Pamela Ann
Abstract:: This paper explores the confusion that exists between general definitions of what constitutes a GIS or CAD system. Then a comparison and contrast is made of microcomputer versions of GIS and CAD programs using as examples two of the most popular, pcARC/INFO and Aut0CAD. The differences and similarities are discussed...

The effectiveness of the Special Farm Use Assessment Program in Jefferson County, Oregon - a comparative study

Creator:: Hunter, Steven Robert
Abstract:: Oregon's Special Farm Use Assessment program is investigated in this paper for its effectiveness in preserving farmland from urban sprawl. Basic research for this study was conducted in Jefferson County, a rural central Oregon county. Data from a similar study conducted in Washington County, an urbanizing northern Willamette Valley county,...

Spatial and Temporal Dynamics of Broad-scale Predictive Models : Influences of Scale

Creator:: Hooper, Samuel
Abstract:: Developing accurate predictive distribution models requires adequately representing relevant spatial and temporal scales, as these scales are ultimately reflective of the relationships between distributions and influential environmental conditions. In this research, we considered both spatial and temporal scale and the influence each has on predicting broad-scale distributions of two disparate...
