"The mapping of coastal vulnerability using the Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) and the Geographic Information System (GIS) at Doreri Bay, Manokwari Regency, West Papua Province was carried out from September 2013 to March 2014. The aims of this study are to analyze and map the coastal vulnerability of Doreri Bay. The study was conducted using a combination of the CVI and GIS methods to assess the geological and physical parameters of the coastal region. The geological parameters consisted of geomorphology, coastline changes (accretion/erosion), the coastline slope, and physical processes. The physical parameters consisted of the relative changes in the sea surface height, the average wave height, and the average tidal height. The results of this research show that the CVI values were within the range of 6.7–43.3, and there were five class categories of coastal vulnerability: (1) very low vulnerability with an area of 6,635.4 Ha or 47.8%, (2) low vulnerability with an area of 2,654.1 Ha or 19.1%, (3) medium vulnerability with an area of 1,692.8 Ha or 12.2%, (4) high vulnerability with an area of 992.7 Ha or 7.2%, and (5) very high vulnerability with an area of 1,904.2 Ha or 13.7%."

"The book is organized in three parts, basics, geographic information and applications. Some parts of the basics belong to the larger field of computer science. However, the reader gets a comprehensive view on geographic information because the topics selected from computer science have a close relation to geographic information."

"The main portion of the chapter presents GIS terms and concepts and helps students learn how each one fits into a complete GIS system. At the end of each chapter, an application section with 2-7 tasks presents students with actual GIS exercises and the necessary data to solve the problem."

"Southeast Asian countries are facing unstable water resource situations, experiencing high water stress as a result in their river basins, particularly around large population cities. This research has assessed basin-scale water stress by estimating the amount of water resources and water use for all river basins in Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Malaysia. A simple water stress assessment methodology using a Geographic Information System revealed the basins vulnerable to high water stress around the capital areas in all five countries. The population ratio was under high-moderate and high water stress at 29.3% in Indonesia, 41.8% in Thailand, 31.9% in the Philippines, 43.3% in Vietnam, and 19.9% in Malaysia. The results imply that large populations depend on limited water resources. The basin-scale assessment conducted in this research could be used in support of the water resources management planning at an inter-basin scale aiming to neutralize water stress."

"Satellite images and thematic information were used for the estimation of microscopic current land suitability for paddy and settlement. These data were analysed by a quantitative method known as quantification-2 theory the aid with of remote sensing and geographical information system. The study was conducted in Yogyakarta. Indonesia is having a regionally homogeneous physical characteristics. The results show that the combination of satellite images alone performed a reliable role for the estimation of macroscopic current land suitability. The land suitability score could be objectively quantified by introducing this method."
