Geographical Information System (GIS) is a very powerful technique which is used in solving different problems in various fields dealing with spatial information. It can also be used for analyzing wars and campaign. Today̕s modern armies use GIS effectively for different purposes such as determining strategic points and planning attack and defense. GIS can also be used for past wars, and historical GIS includes these kinds of applications. In this study, GIS have been used for analyzing Gallipoli Campaign in the First World War. This campaign started in February on 1915 and Allied troops left the Gallipoli Peninsula on 9th January 1916. Gallipoli Campaign have very important role in Turkish and World history. This study includes two different parts about Gallipoli Campaign. In the first part, selected battles of the campaign are analyzed with different GIS functions. Selected battles are Naval, Arıburnu, Conkbayırı, and 2nd Kirte Battles, and they are selected based on the availability of graphic and attribute data. In the second part, relationship between martyrs and locations are studied. Distributions of the number of soldiers for different criteria, such as province, district, soldier rank, death location and age are shown on maps and pie charts.

Querying Fuzzy Spatiotemporal Databases: Implementation Issues
Soezer, Aziz; Yazıcı, Adnan; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S.; Petry, Frederick E. (2010-01-01)
Modeling and querying spatiotemporal data, in particular fuzzy and complex spatial objects representing geographic entities and relations are challenging topics that have many applications in geographic information systems. In a recent article the authors have presented an approach to these problems. The present chapter focuses on the issues that arise from implementing this approach. As a case study the implementation of a meteorological database application that combines an object-oriented database with a...
Retrospective adaptive prefetching for interactive Web GIS applications
Yesilmurat, Serdar; İşler, Veysi (2012-07-01)
A major task of a Web GIS (Geographic Information Systems) system is to transfer map data to client applications over the Internet, which may be too costly. To improve this inefficient process, various solutions are available. Caching the responses of the requests on the client side is the most commonly implemented solution. However, this method may not be adequate by itself. Besides caching the responses, predicting the next possible requests from a client and updating the cache with responses for those re...
Development of free/libre and open source spatial data analysis system fully coupled with geographic information system
Kepoğlu, Volkan Osman; Düzgün, H. Şebnem; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2011)
Spatial Data Analysis (SDA) is relatively narrower and constitutes one of the areas of Spatial Analysis. Geographic Information System (GIS) offers a potentially valuable platform for supporting SDA techniques. Integration of SDA with GIS helps SDA to benefit from the data input, storage, retrieval, data manipulation and display capabilities of GIS. Also, GIS can benefit from SDA techniques in which the integration of these techniques can increase the analysis capabilities of GIS. This integration serves fo...
Real-time 2D/3D display of dted maps and evaluation of interpolation algorithms
Demir, Ali; Coşar, Ahmet; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2010)
In Geographic Information System (GIS) applications, aster data constitutes one of the major data types. The displaying of the raster data has an important part in GIS applications. Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED) is one of the raster data types, which is used as the main data source in this thesis. The DTED data is displayed on the screen as digital images as a pixel value, which is represented in gray scale, corresponding to an elevation (texel). To draw the images, the texel values are mostly inter...
Joint Utilization of Appearance and Geometry for Determining Correspondences
Soysal, Medeni; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Karadeniz, Talha (2009-09-16)
A novel approach, which is based on combining the competence of interest point detectors to capture primitives and the capability of geometric constraints to discriminate between spatial configurations of these primitives is presented. In the proposed approach, the geometric constraints are enforced by means of barycentric coordinates, a mathematical tool that has been utilized in the relevant literature as a neighborhood constraint. In the context of our research, however, these coordinates are utilized as...
