Europeans, the Dutch, ‘first discovered’ Australia in 1606. This paper claims there was probably an earlier Portuguese exploration of the Tiwi Islands in northern Australia around 1600. And it puts forward a novel bearing technique for comparing antique maps to corresponding modern publications. The technique is used to demonstrate that a 1602 map, by Emanuel Godinho de Eredia, then a leading cartographer, probably depicts these islands. Some background to Eredia and his map, plus the political background necessitating the survey, is outlined along with an assessment of the identity of the likely surveyor. Finally, detailed cartographical and topographical results are presented with a summary indicating their significance.
欧洲人，荷兰人，在1606年“首先发现”了澳大利亚。这篇论文声称，1600年左右，葡萄牙人可能对澳大利亚北部的提维群岛进行了更早的勘探。并提出了一种将古地图与现代相应出版物进行比较的新型承载技术。这项技术被用来证明，当时的主要制图师伊曼纽尔·戈迪尼奥·德·埃雷迪亚(Emanuel Godinho de Eredia)于1602年绘制的地图可能描绘了这些岛屿。埃雷迪亚和他的地图的一些背景，加上调查所必需的政治背景，概述了可能的测量员的身份评估。最后，介绍了详细的地图学和地形学成果，并对其意义进行了总结。

Many geographical databases have been developed for different programs and applications, but data acquisition and data sharing are still a big problem because no interoperability exists among these different databases. This study presents a GML (Geography Markup Language) approach to build a geographical database in order to enable interoperability. As an open, non-proprietary industry standard, GML overcomes the problems of current GIS software proprietary data models and database structures. Compared with other standards, such as the Geographic Data File (GDF) and Spatial Data Transfer Standard (SDTS), the GML approach has the advantage of enabling on-line data exchange. GML holds promise in providing a standard way to share and use existing spatial data over the World Wide Web. A GML-based interoperable geographical database for the conservation of the Stone Forest Landscape is implemented as a case study. It shows how the public can access and use the GML-based spatial database through a user-friendly interface and that GML can deliver high quality vector data on the Web.

The south-western trans Iranian railway line connecting Tehran, Iran to Khoramshahr in the southwest crosses the great Zagros range. One of the localities on this line is the Shahbazan railway station. Shahbazan station is located in the Alwar section of the central Zagros belt in the southwest of Iran. Complex geological-geomorphological activities have created an immature and rugged landscape which in turn imposes various natural hazards (landslide, erosion and flash flooding) to both people and the railway infra-strucutre. In order to address these problems on a regional scale, a digital elevation model (DEM) was used in conjunction with selected field visits during which various parameters related to lithology (dip, strike and rock types), structures (joints, fracturres, faults and folds), soil types, landuse and land cover were obsereved and measured. For the creation of a DEM, a digital topographic map prepared by the Iranian Surveying Organization was used. The DEM was computed using x, y, z attributes in text format. The methodology includes an interactive visual calibration that adjusts parameters while referring to observed landslides. Based on field data collected, the DEM was calibrated to generate stability zone map and saturation zone map of the study area which address to natural hazards like landslide. The analyses of drainage morphometery, relief and saturation maps reveals zones of stability-instability and saturation within the study area which are in harmony with landslide and rock fall zones. However, the study also indicates that the DEM provides a useful tool for rapid evaluation of natural hazards and mapping of large areas with less time and good results.

To determine the effect of cartographic visualisation of tourist maps on their users, a survey was conducted among geography students. One of the aims of the study was to analyse the effect of a particular type of visualisation of a tourist map on decisions made by its users (e.g. a change in his/her tourist preferences). The analysis of the questionnaire suggests that the type of cartographic content has a profound effect on the choice of potential tourist attractions and planning tourist routes.

Two serious problems that often arise in map generalization are “what should be aggregated” and “when to aggregate”. This very much depends on the knowledge of the theme to be mapped. In the case of vegetation mapping at different scales, some inherent rules on vegetation, such as their biological characteristics and spatial distribution, must be incorporated in addition to existing generalisation algorithms, so that automated generalisation can be achieved. This paper describes the development of such rules based on bio-geographical principles for the implementation of existing generalisation operators and, in particular, the integration of these operators.
