ABSTRACT
Challenge to fit GIS and geodata to smart devices
In addition to endusers also enterprise data collection, management and usage moves from PC and web to the smartphone platforms. Some GIS vendors provide tools and SDKs to simplify application development and customization, others have different solutions. There are also some 3rd party products and free and open source tools. I will give overview of key technical challenges on smartphone-based GIS approach, and what are solutions which are currently offered and what we will see in near future.

ABSTRACT
Data rich but information poor; optimizing assets by capturing rich and accurate information using simple, integrated and affordable methodologies
For many years the GIS and surveying communities have operated independently, often resulting in data silos and an inability to integrate survey geometry with Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The consequences of this has been a loss of data integrity resulting in poorly managed assets and in some cases fines imposed by regulators amounting to €m due to data compliance issues.Many organisations are now placing GIS at the centre of their asset management operations and are demanding better data to help them better understand the location, condition and nature of assets they are responsible for. Rather than treating asset collection and asset management as separate operations, Asset Collection and Management workflows are now being integrated into one process to improve the quality and integrity of the central data repository. This provides users with access to better and more reliable information to improve the ongoing management and maintenance of critical assets. In addition to this managers and clients are demanding lightweight cloud applications and services that rely on reliable, accurate and timely data. Mike Cooper, Leica Geosystems Regional Market Manager EMEA will highlight the compelling benefits that have been achieved using a more integrated approach and connecting the survey and GIS communities using a number of case studies across both public and private sector organisations, solutions that have enabled organisations to capture richer, more accurate, more reliable data, more quickly than ever before to achieve savings of between 30% and 50% while protecting the reputation of the business with the provision of information services where clients and users have confidence in the data provided.

ABSTRACT
Leveraging Selangor Land Use Planning Through Optimization Of Its Web Enabled Spatial Information System - SISMAPS
Located in the Klang Valley which is part of the Kuala Lumpur conurbation identified in the Malaysia National Physical Plan as the main growth engine of the Nation economy, Selangor is among the fast growing states in Malaysia. While comprising major cities with high urbanisation rate due to the strategic economic setting, state-wide land use planning and coordination has remain a substantial challenge to the responsible authority. Realizing the need to be well informed of the rapid land use changes, the Selangor Town and Country Planning Department (TCPD) had advanced on the development of the web enabled Selangor Planning Information System (SISMAPS) with support from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia to facilitate efficient procedures of land use planning as well as effective development control, implementation and monitoring. The system framework had utilized the Enterprise GIS technology solutions and comprises several components to provide for the state Spatial Planning Data Infrastructure including a comprehensive database as well as several user applications to cater for the state-concerned planning and development activities. The system implementation which involves the participation of all 12 local authorities across the state is significantly able to facilitate the planning approval process, establish harmonized development between neighbouring municipalities and address discrepancies between the current land use and gazetted development plans. This paper discusses the system concept and design as well as strategies adopted in its development and implementation despite the challenges and issues encountered along the course. The project has also looked into possibilities for integration with other relevant applications, both internal and external, for extended benefits.

ABSTRACT
Using Virtual Tour with GIS for Tourism
A 360° virtual tour is a new and exciting first-person view of an actual location. It's a choice of analysts, surveyor's, GIS professionals worldwide for visualizing and analyzing the relationship between 3D data and geography. It's a premier solution for GIS software analysis. A 360° includes tools and data can be use immediately to perform the state of the art analysis on key issues. It works with the maps, A 360° virtual tour and attribute of objects all in the single application. Integration 360° with GIS technology leading in the world, which can enhance GIS information platform. It enables to create, visualize, analyze and present information better and more effectively with the real image. Recently, SCTA Launched the virtual reality tours to promotion, market, preserve, educate about tourism sites and tourism services (hotels or restaurants), that can help those interested more effectively through an e-tourism visually demonstrating strengths over competitors.

ABSTRACT
Repiratory Morbidity among Women and Children Bidi Binders of Block I and Block II of District Bankura, West Bengal, India
This is a study that aims to observe the respiratory condition of the women and children bidi binders of Blocks I and II of district Bankura, West Bengal, India. It incorporates the spatial distribution of these binders physically along with their basic social, economic and health conditions. The dust particles cause immense damage to their lungs causing them much sufferance.The approach has been to run questionnaires, interaction with the binders at grass root level, to comprehend their socio-economic conditions and problems. Arrange for and conduct medical camps to perform Pulmonary Function Tests of the binders. Enter the collected data in application software. Create spatial information graphically which is also linked to the database table with the help of a G.I.S. software. This enabled a very strong visual display along with an efficient analytic capacity. The results were alarming with a seasonal pattern variation and also a deteriorating temporal pattern. On an average, the best performance of the PFT tests was in the rainy season followed by those of the summer and then the winter seasons. Based on the study and subsequent analysis, an awareness camp was organized. Eminent social personalities from various government departments were invited to inspire the binders to gradually diversify into a more healthy profession.

ABSTRACT
Web Based & Centralized Geo Spatial System
India, the world's second highly populated country goes spatial over many fields & the information systems & other GIS utility's usage are widely increasing. The map is displayed over the webpage & then the spatial location of a particular feature is selected to view its details (ex: clicking on a road to get its length & name). All the details of every citizen is fed & if a person wants to buy any accessory, he may use his personal id which is unique & linked to his other details & also his biometric data. Every citizen who has right to vote, will have his login details to login into this site & get his complete details. When a house owner logs on, he can see his assets & purchases he made along with various other details spatially. He cannot access other person/house details. But whenever a govt official logs on, He can see the details of other persons based on his post (for ex: If an Income Tax officer, he can see the financial details of any house spatially but not the person's family details). So this system will be helpful in monitoring the whole national level details, which will surely reduce the problems like paying taxes, black money, holding illegal assets etc.
