GIS support to develop a research proposal

• Introduction
• Developing a proposal
• What is GIS/spatial thinking
• Instrument design
• Geospatial model and analysis proposal
• The GIS process

It is important to consider GIS data, spatial output and analysis when developing a research proposal. In order to be able to analyze research findings spatially or geographically, data needs to be captured in the correct format. It is therefore important to conceptualize at the beginning of the research, how the data will be analyzed or used.

GIS Thesis Ideas

Agriculture Thesis Ideas

Geographic information science represents a field of research that focuses on environmental concepts by using geographic information systems. This computer system is an interactive mapping tool that allows for greater examination of Earth’s spatial, aerial and global positioning. The technology organizes detailed map data in a straightforward manner so that people can then select relevant information for their tasks, helping them make better decisions. The GIS has become an extremely useful assessment tool for planning and management for businesses, government agencies, education settings and economic development.

City Planning Proposal

This topic is applicable to any location and requires several important aspects of spatial information -- parcel, zoning, land-use data, housing stock and transportation networks. As a thesis idea, you might evaluate future population growth to project a city's upcoming needs for public services, electricity and water. Use your own city or another community to gather the data yourself. After completing your findings, propose your results to city planners for a pilot study focusing on the city's future needs. By helping create a pilot study, you would also be ready to begin a dissertation if you choose to pursue a doctoral degree.

Evaluating Emergency and Medical Services

A prominent factor in an emergency situation for patients is the distance to medical care from their current location along with any specific services needed. This also influences where they may choose to receive their care. An article, “GIS for EMS,” published on the High Performance EMS website, explains the benefits of using the GIS geocoding service system -- a specialized GPS navigation system -- to find location coordinates of an address. For your thesis, evaluate local emergency response services by using your city census information for the geocoding data. The geocoding system will then give you a list of travel barriers, the location of all emergency responders, medical centers according to their available equipment and/or specialty services provided. These findings will allow you to design a contoured map of estimated travel time and distance for local residents according to convenience, landscape obstructions and various medical services that can influence such decisions.

Air Quality Preservation Analysis

In 1970, Congress implemented the Clean Air Act, granting the Environmental Protection Agency the responsibility to safeguard the environment from further pollution and related harmful effects. This act was revised and expanded by Congress in 1990, providing the EPA even greater authority with higher standards. As a thesis idea, compare your local community’s level of environmental toxins and pollution levels to evaluate if the current EPA standards are being met. Use the geographic information system to analyze and input the effects of ground-level ozone pathogens, smog, haze visibility, dirt or debris, particle pollution and other airborne contaminants that are detrimental to plant and human life. Creating a 3-D map from the results would enable you to provide greater visual awareness about the locations that are creating the most air pollution so that preservationists can better control these areas, ensuring that EPA standards are being met.

Natural Disaster Planning

According to the National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center, every year, nearly 1,300 tornadoes sweep through the United States, resulting in approximately 60 fatalities with an average warning time of only 13 minutes. Since tornadoes can touch down without any warning, it is important to have the best technology available. Use GIS mapping to provide information regarding pre-emergency planning and post-response and recovery -- such as, minimizing damage with siren locations, densely populated regions likely to be most affected, location and distance of emergency responders, damage severity indicators and coordinates of heavily affected areas in need of immediate service.

GIS Research Topics

       GIS technology provides a vast amount of potential research throughout several principles. Below are few possible GIS research strategies:

Environmental & Climate Change

• Spatiotemporal Analysis of Land Use & Land Cover Change: We explore the figures and drivers of land usage and land cover dynamics beyond duration by GIS and virtually sensing data. Evaluate the effects of these alterations on biodiversity, ecosystem services, and climate changes.
• Modeling and Prediction of Environmental Hazards: To forecast and point-out the incidents of ecological disasters like floods, droughts, wildfires and landslides we create GIS-based frameworks and implement them to notify hazard preparedness and reduction plans.
• Evaluating Climate Change Impacts on Natural Resources: Check the effects of weather change on water resources, forests and other natural sources by using GIS and climate refining methods. We offer understanding for continuous materials maintenance and weather changing adjustments.

Agriculture & Food Security

• Precision Agriculture & Crop Yield Prediction: To optimize crop maintenance, fertilizer application, and irrigation experiences and for forecasting crop yields and finding places of possible crop stress we design GIS-based accurate farming techniques.
• Land Suitability Analysis for Continuous Farming: We check land adaptability for various farming experiences using GIS and soil data and search optimal land usage figures for sustainable farming and food generation.
• Supervising Food Supply Chains & Food Security: Our work finds regions of unsteady food supply and notifies interventions to increase food availability and dispersion. Monitor supply chains and protection of food using GIS data.

Public Health & Epidemiology

• Spatial Analysis of Disease Distribution & Risk: Spot and examine the dispersion of diseases and health results using GIS data. We find dimensional figures and critical factors related to disease disruptions and health anomalies.
• Surveillance and Tracking of Public Health Indicators: To supervise and track public health indicators like infectious diseases, air quality, and environmental contaminants we build early warning models for public health inferences.
• Estimating Access to Healthcare Facilities and Services: We validate the dimensional distribution of healthcare facilities and services by employing GIS data. For healthcare resource allocation our research determines availability problems and detects underserved places.

Transportation & Infrastructure

• Transportation Network Analysis & Planning: To find congestion hotspots, optimize traffic flow, and plan for future transportation requirements we examine transportation networks by GIS that is implemented in this advanced knowledge.
• Infrastructure Management & Handling: For monitoring management timetable, finding infrastructure susceptibilities, and planning to replace assets GIS is assisting us to maintain and handle these assets like roads, bridges and utilities.
• Effect Assessment of Transportation Projects: Estimate the ecological, social, and financial effects of transportation projects by GIS and spatial analysis methods. For continuous transportation architecture improvement we define decision-making strategies.

Urban Planning & Sustainability

• Smart City Planning & Infrastructure Maintenance: To improve smart city ideas to optimize resource assignment, transportation networks and energy performance we incorporate GIS data for observing city growth designs and structure requirements.
• City Spread & Continuity Analysis: We evaluate the extent and effects of city sprawl by GIS and virtually sensing data to promote continuing city improvement and compress cities.
• Neighborhood Analysis & Social Equity: By determining socioeconomic and demographic designs in city neighborhoods we use GIS data and detect regions of social inequality and inform focused interference for rising groups.

       These examples show the different range of research opportunities that GIS provides. GIS techniques consistently emerge and its applications in several domains will keep extending and involving to overcome difficult global limitations.
