Identification of a specific object in an image might be a trivial task for humans but are often quite challenging for machines. Recently the field has witnessed groundbreaking research with cutting-edge results. However, for real-world application problems of this research remain a challenge. The approach used is based on a training model from a D...

Objective: Mapping impervious surfaces using moderate resolution satellite images is a useful technique for supporting different fields including monitoring and evaluation, planning, statistical analysis and reporting and policy development. Due to the negative impact of impervious surfaces over urban climate, the development of new techniques usin...

The context of this work is that of designing an IMS-LD model for disciplinary information space of Learning Management System (LMS). Our work is specifically in the field or seeking to promote, by means of information technology from a distance. Our approach is to first think about the conditions for creating a real disciplinary information space...

The aim of this research work is to ensure the integrity and correction of the geotechnical database which contains anomalies. These anomalies occurred mainly in the phase of inputting and/or transferring of data. The algorithm created in the framework of this paper was tested on a dataset of 70 core drillings. In fact, it is based on a multi-crite...

Coronavirus Disease COVID-19 is a virus identified as the cause of an outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome detected first in Wuhan, China, On 31 December 2019. It has already taken a pandemic form, affecting over 200 countries in a few months. On March 3rd, 2020, the Moroccan Minister of Health announced the first case of coronavirus on Ma...

Blockchain technology holds transformative potential for geospatial data sharing by offering enhanced security, transparency, and decentralization. This paper explores the integration of blockchain into managing geospatial data, focusing on its capabilities to revolutionize data storage, identification, property rights confirmation, and traceabilit...

This research examines the feasibility of implementing blockchain based electronic voting systems in Morocco to enhance electoral transparency and integrity. The study employs a methodology that combines Distributed Permission Ledger Technology (DPLT) and the Solana blockchain, resulting in a multilayered system. The main findings highlight the eff...

Hydrological systems in watersheds encounter growing challenges attributed to climate change, marked by shifts in precipitation patterns, heightened drought severity, and altered runoff dynamics. This study explores the implications of these changes for streamflow in the vulnerable Bouregreg catchment. This study used a novel approach in the Boure...

Solid waste management poses a significant challenge to sustainable development. Locating suitable landfill sites is a key difficulty. This study utilizes the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) with a Geographic Information System (GIS) to identify potential landfill locations in Fez province, Morocco. Nine criteria were evaluated for the study are...

In achieving sustainable urban development, the intricate dynamics of spatio-temporal land use changes and their regional driving forces necessitate comprehensive investigation, particularly in developing countries. This study aims to analyze the detection of land use and land cover (LULC) changes, focusing on urban sprawl and future predictions. T...

The field of smart parking is growing rapidly and has many potential applications in densely populated urban areas. Internet of Things (IoT) and Arduino-based smart parking systems offer an innovative solution to solve parking problems in real time. Among other things, these systems reduce traffic congestion, improve road safety, reduce greenhouse...

Distance learning experiments have been launched since 2010 in several Moroccan universities as part of an experimental approach. It, therefore, seems to us that a strategy must be put in place to give this choice of education its place in training and grant it the means necessary to achieve these objectives. The objective of this article, on the o...

This work is mainly based on designing an IMS-LD model for self-management space for a new LMS. Our work is first to think about the conditions for creating a real LMS between learners and teachers. We try to adapt the IMS-LD model with a self-management model based on the hybridization between four learning theories as to the basis for teaching th...

The aim of this work is to facilitate access to geological data coming from distributed data sources and the information (metadata) related to these data. For that purpose, a spatial data infrastructure (SDI) prototype has been established which comprises a geoportal that provides access to a geological Catalogue through Catalogue Service for the W...

Nowadays, the geoscience data have become widely available in different organizations, which play a very important role in decisions-making at different levels (social, economic, political…). However, these organizations use standards, technologies and policies that differ from one to another. Therefore, this information is increasingly being distr...
