  2. GIS in environmental contamination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIS_in_Environmental...

    Once the Hg concentration data was gathered, a schematic model has been prepared for GIS input, which consisted of a digital elevation model (DEM), a satellite land use map, and EARS data. [ 3 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] [ 2 ] Using the inverse distance weighted (IDW) method from geostatistical tools in ArcGIS 9.3, a raster model of the Hg concentration has ...

  3. GIS file format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIS_file_format

    Raster data can be images with each pixel (or cell) containing a color value. The value recorded for each cell may be of any level of measurement, including a discrete qualitative value, such as land use type, or a continuous quantitative value, such as temperature, or a null value if no data is available. While a raster cell stores a single ...

  4. Land cover maps - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_cover_maps

    A supervised classification is a system of classification in which the user builds a series of randomly generated training datasets or spectral signatures representing different land-use and land-cover (LULC) classes and applies these datasets in machine learning models to predict and spatially classify LULC patterns and evaluate classification accuracies.

  5. Land use - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_use

    Cumulative CO2 emissions from land-use change (as of 2021). Emissions from land-use change can be positive or negative depending on whether these changes emit (positive, brown on the map) or sequester (negative) carbon (green on the map). Land use is an umbrella term to describe what happens on a parcel of land.

  6. Land use regression model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_Use_Regression_Model

    LUR modeling is a useful approach for screening studies and can substitute for dispersion models given insufficient input data or dispersion models. Multiple regression equations are used to describe the relationship between sample locations and environmental variables, often relying on geographic information systems (GIS) to collect measurements.

  7. Map coloring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map_coloring

    In cartographic design, map coloring is the act of choosing colors as a form of map symbol to be used on a map. Color is a very useful attribute to depict different features on a map. [ 1 ] Typical uses of color include displaying different political divisions, different elevations, or different kinds of roads.

  8. Land-use planning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land-use_planning

    To this end, it is the systematic assessment of land and water potential, alternatives for land use, and economic and social conditions in order to select and adopt the best land use options. [1] Often one element of a comprehensive plan , a land use plan provides a vision for the future possibilities of development in neighborhoods, districts ...

  9. Chorochromatic map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorochromatic_map

    A Chorochromatic map (from Greek χώρα chóra 'region' and χρώμα chróma 'color'), also known as an area-class, qualitative area, or mosaic map, is a type of thematic map that portray regions of categorical or nominal data using variations in color symbols.
