Due to the international policies of the government in each country, it is difficult to investigate the pollution conditions in a transboundary watershed. In this study, pollution sources in the Red River Valley, Southeast Asia were derived from Google Earth by visual interpretation. Based on the derived pollution sources and a simple scoring system, a pollution index map was produced, which provides useful information for intergovernmental cooperation on the water environment in this transboundary watershed. In addition, the method mentioned in this article suggests an efficient and low-cost way to investigate pollution conditions at large scale, which can also be applied to other transboundary watersheds in the future.

Who owns paradise? Using web mapping to enhance a geography course exercise about tropical forest conservation / Mikaela J. Weisse in Journal of maps, vol 11 n° 3 ([01/07/2015])

The exercise assigns students a character from the Tambopata region of the Peruvian Amazon, and asks them to evaluate four proposed zoning plans from their assigned perspective. Using principles of web cartography, we designed the four proposal maps to communicate complex information and allow for increased exploration. Compared to the previously used static maps, the website increases opportunities for student engagement with the material, incorporates multimedia, and clarifies spatial relationships and land use patterns. The website is available publicly and can be integrated freely into other university and high school courses.

Mapping uncertainty from multi-criteria analysis of land development suitability, the case of Howth, Dublin / Bernadette Quinn in Journal of maps, vol 11 n° 3 ([01/07/2015])  

Public [article]  inJournal of maps > vol 11 n° 3 [01/07/2015] . - pp 487 - 495 Titre : Mapping uncertainty from multi-criteria analysis of land development suitability, the case of Howth, Dublin Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Bernadette Quinn, Auteur ; Kerry Schiel, Auteur ; Geoffrey Caruso, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : pp 487 - 495 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Cartographie thématique [Termes IGN] analyse bivariée [Termes IGN] analyse multicritère [Termes IGN] carte thématique [Termes IGN] Dublin (Irlande ; ville) [Termes IGN] incertitude des données [Termes IGN] méthode de Monte-Carlo [Termes IGN] pondération Résumé : (auteur) This paper presents a method for determining and mapping suitable locations for development using Multi Criteria Analysis and the Analytical Hierarchy Process and considering uncertainties in the process. The method is applied to the case study of Howth (Dublin), where development suitability is assessed against specific protection and conservation areas as well as ground water vulnerability. Uncertainty is incorporated using a Monte Carlo simulation into the Analytical Hierarchy Process calculations to determine criteria weightings. A map is derived, which includes, for all locations, both site suitability for development and the level of uncertainty attached to this suitability. The map combines a double categorization of suitability and uncertainty. The method allows for increased transparency in decision making regarding site suitability for development, as well as increased confidence in decision making to allow for reduced risk in terms of the potential impact of development.
