With its international scientific commitments, Revue Internationale de Géomatique (RIG), gathers numerous research works from many countries and disciplines, such as geography, computer science, archeology, agronomy and social sciences. All these research projects require or develop approaches, methods or tools to solve, analyse or represent spatial problems on the geographical space. The journal involves different topics, from spatial object modelling to geospatial prospective, from sensors used in accurate imagery to territorial decision making. The articles can be application- oriented, or deal with theoretical or methodological issues. Thus, RIG allows a fruitful combination of technological features (e.g. Geographical Information Systems, high resolution remote sensing) and human purpose and behaviour in spatial analysis (e.g. participatory Geographical Information Systems, territorial planning). Geomatics also concerns many questions about our environment in the context of global change and sustainability, such as biodiversity, conservation, transport, mobility and land use. Most of the articles published in RIG are resulting from a strong co-operation between different institutes and disciplines, often coupling particular themes (micro-agronomy, coastal studies, mountainous development, for instance) and associated methodologies to design appropriate solutions from computer and geographical information sciences (generalize and matching geometries, spatial metadata management, spatial ontologies, etc.). Regularly published since 1991, Revue Internationale de Géomatique (RIG) publishes original articles in Sciences of Geographical Information, in French or in English.

Abstract As the global population continues to expand, the demand for natural resources increases. Unfortunately, human activities account for 23% of greenhouse gas emissions. On a positive note, remote sensing technologies have emerged as a valuable tool in managing our environment. These technologies allow us to monitor land use, plan urban areas, and drive advancements in areas such as agriculture, climate change mitigation, disaster recovery, and environmental monitoring. Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI), computer vision, and earth observation data have enabled unprecedented accuracy in land use mapping.

Abstract The mutation of spaces observed in the Katangese Copper Belt (KCB) causes significant topographical changes. Some colonial geodetic markers are easily noticeable on many of the hills making up the KCB. These hills are subject to mining which ruins the completeness of the network of triangulations: geometric and trigonometric Katangese. In order to keep control of the latter, the study shows on the one hand the possibility of using SRTM data (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission) in the monitoring of the macro-change of the reliefs, from 442 positions, and on the other hand, an indirect (remote) More >

Abstract Severe earthquakes in the world and in Turkey can cause great loss of life and property, environmental problems and health problems. In addition to the loss of life and property, earthquakes are closely related to ecosystems, air, water, and soil pollution. Particularly in post-earthquake debris removal, very large amounts of particulate matter are released and may have negative effects on the health of the local population. This study aimed to detect two types of particle matter pollution during debris removal in 25 different locations in Adiyaman City using a CEM DT 9880 particle matter measuring… More >

Abstract La dynamique d’occupation des terres constitue un préalable pour l’identification des contraintes de gestion des ressources naturelles, l’évolution de pratiques agraires et la croissance démographique. L’objectif de cette recherche est d’améliorer les connaissances sur la dynamique d’occupation des terres agricoles dans les zones de cultures sèches (Cinzana) et cotonnière (Kléla) au Mali. La méthodologie utilisée a consisté à la collecte des données planimétriques et à l’analyse diachronique à travers des images satellitaires Landsat TM (Thematic Mapper) de 2000 et OLI (Operational Land Image) de 2020. Les taux de dégradation et de déforestation des formations naturelles… More >

Abstract La théorie égocentrée est aujourd’hui bien connue des éthologues et des psychologues mais moins diffusée chez les géographes car elle reste encore à l’état de théorie abstraite. Ce papier se propose dans un premier temps de rendre opérationnel cette approche dans le cadre de travaux géographiques à l’échelle de l’individu. Puis, elle envisage d’établir le lien entre l’échelle individu et l’échelle de la ville avec comme objectif de produire des cartes déformées de la ville. More >

Abstract Color, as a significant element of village landscapes, serves various functions such as enhancing aesthetic appeal and attractiveness, conveying emotions and cultural values. To explore the three-dimensional spatial characteristics of color landscapes in beautiful villages, this study conducted a comparative experiment involving eight provincial-level beautiful villages and eight ordinary villages in Jinzhai County. Landscape pattern indices were used to analyze the color landscape patterns on the facades of these villages, complemented by a quantitative analysis of color attributes using the Munsell color system. The results indicate that (1) Natural landscape colors in beautiful villages are… More >

Abstract Seismic vulnerability modeling plays a crucial role in seismic risk assessment, aiding decision-makers in pinpointing areas and structures most prone to earthquake damage. While machine learning (ML) algorithms and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have emerged as promising tools for seismic vulnerability modeling, there remains a notable gap in comprehensive geospatial studies focused on India. Previous studies in seismic vulnerability modeling have primarily focused on specific regions or countries, often overlooking the unique challenges and characteristics of India. In this study, we introduce a novel approach to seismic vulnerability modeling, leveraging ML and GIS to address… More >

Abstract This study focuses on the mapping of lineaments using remote sensing techniques and Geographic Information Systems. The aim is to carry out a statistical analysis of the lineaments in order to better understand the organization of fracturing in the Batie district, and to identify areas of high fracturing density and their relationship with the hydrographic network. The methodology implemented to achieve these objectives is based on the processing and analysis of Landsat 9 Operational Land Imager/Thermal Infrared Sensor (OLI/TIRS) satellite imagery and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data covering the study area. After essential pre-processing… More >

Revue Internationale de Géomatique, Vol.33, pp. 155-165, 2024, DOI:10.32604/rig.2024.052258
Abstract The short communication discusses the interrelationships of loxodromes, isometric latitudes and the normal aspect of Mercator projection. It is shown that by applying the isometric latitude, a very simple equation of the loxodrome on the sphere is reached. The consequence of this is that the isometric latitude can be defined using the generalized longitude, and not only using the latitude, as was common until now. Generalized longitude is the longitude defined for every real number; modulo 2π of generalized and usual longitude are congruent. Since the image of the loxodrome in the plane of the… More >

Abstract Au Mali, l’accès à la santé est une préoccupation majeure. Il est devenu une priorité nationale depuis la déclaration d’Alma-Ata en 1978. Dès lors, des efforts importants ont été consentis par l’État et ses partenaires pour atteindre cet objectif. Ces efforts semblent insuffisants dans le district sanitaire de Bougouni, car, plus de la moitié de la population reste très loin des services de santé de base. Face à ce constat, évaluer l’accessibilité géographique aux soins de santé est essentiel pour identifier les localités qui ont été laissées pour compte, d’’où l’objet de cette recherche dans… More >

Abstract Due to the spectral and spatial properties of pervious and impervious surfaces, image classification and information extraction in detailed, small-scale mapping of urban surface materials is quite difficult and complex. Emerging methods and innovations in image classification have centred on object-based classification techniques and various segmentation techniques, which are fundamental to this approach. Consequently, the purpose of this study is to determine which classification method is most suitable for extracting linear features in terms of techniques and performance by comparing two classification methods, pixel-based approach and object-based approach, using WorldView-2 satellite imagery to specifically highlight… More >
