Abstract
: The article is analyzing the use of WebGIS for tourism development in historic Cairo which is considered as an open-air museum, designing the touristic map and publishing it on the web as an interactive map. ArcGIS Server and WebGIS were used to create and promote a platform guide for tourists enabling them to find the touristic places and services in an easy and quickly manner. Therefore, by using the WebGIS, the digitization of the cultural heritage will create a large quantity of digital images and maps of the study area, leading to an easy and accurate identification, analysis and interpretation of geographical data and touristic places attributes. The research results will contribute to local authorities better planning and decision-making process, having good impacts on the touristic development of Egypt in general.
期刊介绍:
Geographia Technica is a journal devoted to the publication of all papers on all aspects of the use of technical and quantitative methods in geographical research. It aims at presenting its readers with the latest developments in G.I.S technology, mathematical methods applicable to any field of geography, territorial micro-scalar and laboratory experiments, and the latest developments induced by the measurement techniques to the geographical research. Geographia Technica is dedicated to all those who understand that nowadays every field of geography can only be described by specific numerical values, variables both oftime and space which require the sort of numerical analysis only possible with the aid of technical and quantitative methods offered by powerful computers and dedicated software. Our understanding of Geographia Technica expands the concept of technical methods applied to geography to its broadest sense and for that, papers of different interests such as: G.l.S, Spatial Analysis, Remote Sensing, Cartography or Geostatistics as well as papers which, by promoting the above mentioned directions bring a technical approach in the fields of hydrology, climatology, geomorphology, human geography territorial planning are more than welcomed provided they are of sufficient wide interest and relevance.
