Apart from monetary loss, burglary also affecting the social values of...
Site selection is a complex problem that involves technical, political social, environmental and economic demands that are difficult to satisfy via one method which may be in conflict with others. Schools need be located on safe places; these safe locations should also be optimal and economical to the public in terms of accountability. Location of...
It is difficult to process GIS vector data when they are not aligned with one another. The need for different coordinate systems rose from the fact that some coordinate systems are better fitted to describe the geographical phenomenon occurring in a specific area. However, even commercial software had been proven to have questionable accuracy in co...
Flood catastrophe that has been hitting Kelantan in 2014 cause damages and life decease particularly to Kuala Krai area (2,329 km 2). Topographically, Kuala Krai situated nearby after the confluence of Galas and Lebir rivers.
