DISASTER MANAGEMENT

The Prediction and Validation of Kumamoto Earthquake
Dr Shunji Murai and Dr Harumi Araki
It was very difficult to achieve the prediction of the Kumamoto Earthquake because there were very few short term abnormal changes at multiple GNSS stations which have normally occurred, in our previous experience, for larger earthquakes... [more]

CADASTRE

Systematic Cadastre Surveying and Inventory of Real Estate Objects in Azerbaijan
Gernod Schindler AND Erik Schuetz
This paper describes the methods used for the implementation of la.nd administration in development cooperation projects, especially in Azerbaijan... [more]

GNSS

EGNOS-based Reactive Locator for the European Train Control System
Aleš Filip
The paper describes a novel train LDS solution based on EGNOS for ETCS. The solution consists in LDS with reactive fail-safety based on EGNOS V2 or EGNOS V3, which is further combined with a newly introduced travelling virtual balise (TVB) concept... [more]

SDI

Mainstreaming Spatial Data Sharing approach in Sri Lanka
Lesley Arnold
This paper describes the Spatial Data Infrastructure approach being adopted by the Sri Lankan Government to mainstream data sharing... [more]

CLIMATE CHANGE

Challenges to Climate Action and Resource Use Efficiency in South Asia
Dr Rishiraj Dutta
This study has revealed that there has been a considerable impact from climate change in South Asia. Although countries have been taking initiatives to overcome the impacts of climate change, a lot of work still remains to be done ... [more]
