Land use data can be used to understand patterns of economic behavior, such as the relationship between land use and property values or the impact of land use on environmental factors like air and water quality. The combination of land use data with other data sources and analysis methods can yield significant insights into economic growth and behavior. In this study, the land use and land cover (LULC) were classified using multi-temporal Sentinel-2 imagery (2019 and 2021) and random forest through the Google Earth Engine platform (GGE) with an overall accuracy of more than 89.79%. According to the results of the change detection analysis, there was a 16.96% increase in miscellaneous surface areas and a 15.50% increase in artificial surface areas. These disclose confirm that the sea salt farm, which are the traditional economic function, are losing 37.40%. Furthermore, the CA-Markov model was utilized to predict alterations in land use patterns in the year 2023 through the extrapolation of existing trends. The predicted LULC map of 2023 publicizes the trend of the sea salt farm decreasing, contrasty the artificial surface areas are increasing. In summary, this research reveals the evidence that LULC is strongly related to traditional living changes, and spatial analysis techniques are reasonable and committing tools for study.

This study was a cross-sectional study. The study of spatial association patterns and the influences on the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic situation in Thailand was performed using secondary data from the COVID-19 interactive dashboard, Department of Disease Control, Ministry of Public Health, between January 1st, 2020, and December 31st, 2021. Moran’s I, Local Indicators of Spatial Association (LISA), and Spatial Regression was applied for statistical analysis. In the epidemic situation of COVID-19, the highest of 11,512.65 per one hundred thousand population, and the spatial association between the nighttime light average, the prevalence of smokers in Thailand, the proportion of population per village health volunteer, and the proportion of population per health care center with the epidemic situation of COVID-19 has Moran’s I = 0.309, 0.396, 0.081 and 0.424, respectively. From the Spatial Lag Model (SLM), a factor that has a spatial association with the epidemic situation of COVID-19 is the nighttime light average, the prevalence of smokers in Thailand, and the proportion of population per healthcare center, which can predict the epidemic situation of COVID-19 by 47.8 percent (R2 =0.478). The growth factor of a large city is an important factor for population density which is a major cause of spread of the coronavirus easily. Moreover, smoking behavior has encouraged the epidemic to spread rapidly. The situation is serious as the number of hospitals is not enough to support the treatment and screening of patients to cover the entire population of Thailand. Therefore, it is urgent that the government plan to mitigate the situation with maximum efficiency by having Covid-19 centers and increase the number of beds and facilities.

Making a nautical chart for safe navigation is a bathymetric survey's primary goal. Multifrequency MBES, developed during the last few decades, has dramatically improved the efficiency, accuracy, and spatial resolution of coastal and ocean mapping. The goal of multifrequency MBES is to increase the sub surface’s detection resolution. In order to obtain an accurate picture of the seabed, the user can lessen the impact of this subsidence by running surveys in five different modes at once. With the help of multifrequency MBES, this study will analyze bathymetry in shallow coastal waters. According to this study, each frequency's density equals one-fifth of the raw data. The digital bathymetric model (DBM) has identical frequencies. According to the produced DBM, the study site's depth value ranges from -2.5 m to -23.5 m LWS. Between 200 kHz and other depths, a bathymetric variation of little more than 50 cm. Between 200 kHz and other frequencies to -10 cm, the bathymetry range of 0 cm predominates. Dredging volume inter frequencies falls between 0.042 m3/m2 and 0.068 m3/m2. This amount is negligible compared to the overall dredging volume with a thickness of more than 1 m inside 1 hectare.

In recent years, there has been a rapid advancement in the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in various aspects of life, especially in the area of automated data collection. These advancements have brought about numerous possibilities. The article describes the use of an unmanned aerial vehicle, specifically the PHANTOM 4 pro, to gather remote sensing data and create digital topographic plans at a scale of 1:2000 in Phu Tho province's Thanh Son district. A method was suggested for improving the current systems for obtaining remote sensing data for cartography using UAVs. The ease of controlling the UAVs and the quality and timeliness of the data they transmit to control points confirm the value of using them to create topographic maps. In addition to UAVs, fieldwork also involves the use of the GNSS brand CHCNAV I50. The high precision GNSS system enables the camera's 3D position to be detected within a few centimeters at the time of each capture. A digital topographic map was compiled of Thanh Son district, covering 165 hectares, and processed using software such as Agisoft and Global Mapper. The digital topographic map that was produced satisfies the documentation requirements of government organizations. The maximum error in height is 4.7 cm, the error of coordinates north and east are 1.8 cm and 1.4 cm respectively. This was achieved by using 590 raster images, which had a resolution of 2.3 cm and a size of 5472x3648 pixels. Based on the findings, the map's accuracy is within an acceptable range of less than 2 cm, which is suitable for a map scale of 1:2000.

Forest fires lead to severe damage to the environment and human health. Monitoring can be applied using remotely sensed data and in combination with Geographical Information Systems (GIS) based spatial analysis. Lately, Iraq subjected to many forest fires. In this study, the aim was to monitor and detect the burned areas in Mosul Park during the latest period which happened in June 2022. The hypothesis of the study was based on using Sentinel-2 images and the Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR) index. Two images have been used to compare burned areas; one during the fire events and another postfire. as well as, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) map has been used to identify the Park's characteristics. Moreover, Pearson's correlation (r) with Air Quality Index (AQI) was determined during the burning period. GIS-based processes resulted in detecting the area of burning where the burned area was 16.76 hectares and lay in the eastern part of the study area. Pearson correlation with AQI has resulted in 0.92, while the collinearity between the burned areas and AQI was 0.84. Accurate and prompt planning for fire-affected regions is essential for supporting fire affect assessment, calculating environmental losses, determining planning strategies, and monitoring vegetation recovery.

In this study, three multi-temporal remotely sensed data acquired from Landsat-5 Thematic Mapper (TM) and Landsat -8 Operational Land Imager/Thermal Infrared Sensor (OLI/TIRS) in 1990, 2005, and 2020 were used. The maximum likelihood classifier (MLC) was opted to classify land use and land cover (LULC). Land surface temperature (LST) and LULC spectral indices i.e., Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Normalized Difference Built-up Index (NDBI), Normalized Difference Latent Heat Index (NDLI) and Bare Soil Index (BSI) have been computed and their relationships were examined. The overall accuracy of LULC was more than 93%. The analyses showed a notable transformation in LULC over the study period. For instance, built-up areas increased 103.7% with a rate of 45.5 ha/year and agriculture land increased by 28.9% with a rate of 186.4 ha/year. Whereas, bare soil was sharply decreased by 36.4% at a rate of 227.7ha/year. The minimum and maximum LST values increased by 2.9°C and 4.9°C, respectively, from 1990 to 2020. Furthermore, LST has a negative relationship with NDVI and NDLI (NDVI: 1990: r2 = 0.62; 2005: r2 = 0.62; 2020: r2 = 0.65. NDLI: 1990: r2 = 0.79; 2005: r2 = 0.78; 2020: r2 = 0.61) and a positive relationship with NDBI and BSI (NDBI: 1990: r2 = 0.68; 2005: r2 = 0.73; 2020: r2 = 0.44. BSI: 1990: r2 = 0.77; 2005: r2 = 0.78; 2020: r2 = 0.53). These results provided useful information about LULC changes and its impact on LST, which are necessary for experts and land-use planners to formulate sustainable LST mitigation policies, create an environmental comfort in Nag-Hammadi district, and other geographical locations with similar conditions.

Road accidents are a major global problem, especially accidents from riding a motorcycle, as these affect both human life and property. Therefore, identifying accident sites is important for accident prevention. This study aimed to analyze the density of accident sites involving motorcycles among high school students in 2019 by using Geographic Information System data (GIS) in Sukhothai Province. In the study, in-depth interviews were used with respondents, including high school students who had accidents on motorcycles, and traffic police officers who were responsible for investigating accidents in schools. In addition, reports of accident sites were used to arrange GIS data layers and analyze the density of the accident sites using Kernel Density Estimation (KDE). The study results revealed that accidents occurred at 217 accident sites in the study area. The map of accident sites and density was created by using GIS data. The areas with accidents in heavy traffic were the roads in the three main districts: Mueang, Si Samrong, and Sawankhalok. Regarding the analysis, accidents were caused by fast cut-off riding, narrow road shoulders, and road users’ non-compliance with traffic regulations. The study results were submitted to traffic authorities, schools, departments responsible for rural roads, and local government organizations, and used for planning and developing models to prevent traffic accidents involving motorcycles among high school students through the student council.

The current study is based on the evaluation of the assessment of rainwater harvesting (RWH) in (semi- arid) regions. Where, this study aimed to assess the implementation of RWH by developing a methodology that can be easily applied to identify rainwater harvesting locations in Hasa Basin in southwest Jordan, through integration between the Multiple Criteria Decision Models (MCDM) using an analytic hierarchy process (AHP), and Geographic Information System (GIS). The main factors considered to achieve the aim of the study were rainfall intensity, runoff, slope, flood susceptibility, soil texture, geology, land use/ cover (LULC), elevation, rivers, faults, settlement centers, roads, wells. These were reclassified and weighted to map the levels of rainwater harvesting in the study area. Rainwater harvesting suitable sites map obtained for the study area showed that areas with high and very high suitability formed, respectively, about 11.14% and 1.17%, while areas with low and very low suitability, in contrast, constituted about 46.09% and 9.68 %, respectively, of the total area of the study area.

Landslide is the natural problem occur worldwide due to its geological features, climatic characteristics and human activities. With the help of a geographic information system (GIS) and the Analytic Hierarchical Process (AHP) method, this research attempts to develop a map of landslide susceptibility. During the present investigation, a total of ten landslide influencing factors including elevation, slope, curvature, aspect, topographic wetness index (TWI), land cover, lithology, precipitation, distance to the road and drainage, were examined for the present analysis. Using AHP, weights were applied to each factor. The weight over lay approach was used to create the landslide susceptibility map, which was then divided into five classes. According to the research findings of the susceptibility classes, 19.97% of the research 's area was highly susceptible, followed by 61.65% of low susceptible, 17.33% of moderate susceptible, 0.94% of high susceptible, and 0.12% of very high susceptible. The areas with extremely high landslide susceptibility are adjacent to a road system and have a steep slope. The amount of mean annual rainfall is high and lithology belonging to the Jurassic metasediments. The findings for this map showing the research area's vulnerability to landslides in Khao Yai National Park are useful for planners and decision-makers for slope management and future development projects in the area.
