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 Tourism trails connect destinations, points of interest, and travel-related businesses. By enhancing connectivity, these trails reduce travel time, allowing tourists to maximize their exploration of sites, leading to more efficient and satisfying travel experiences. The rising popularity of e-scooters in urban areas has highlighted the need to identify safe and accessible routes, particularly in cities where safety concerns have led to restrictions. Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) and Geographic Information System (GIS) network analysis can be employed to determine optimal paths by considering multiple criteria. This study focuses on finding an optimal street art trail for… More >

Abstract Flooding is a natural event often associated with floodplain areas, characterised by large, sudden and significant rises in river water levels that drastically alters the surrounding landscape. The research employs ArcGIS tools, multi-criteria evaluation techniques and the Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) model to assess flood hazard zones. The key physical elements of slope, elevation, rainfall, drainage density, land use, and soil types have been integrated to identify areas vulnerable to flooding. Overlay analysis has been used to construct zones specifically designated for flood hazards. Additionally, pairwise comparison using Saaty’s scale was employed to calculate the Eigenvector More >

Abstract Potholes are the most prevalent type of structural defect found on roads, caused by aging infrastructure, heavy rains, heavy traffic, thin or weak substructures, and other factors. Regular assessment of road conditions is essential for maintaining and improving road networks. Current techniques for identifying potholes on urban roadways primarily rely on public reporting, such as hotlines or social networking websites, which are both time-consuming and inefficient. This study aims to detect potholes using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) images, enabling accurate analysis of their size, shape, and location, thereby enhancing detection efficiency compared to conventional methods.… More >

Abstract Cet article propose une analyse séparée puis combinée de trois procédures administratives qui servent de référence pour cartographier les communes à risque inondation en France hexagonale (i.e., les arrêtés de catastrophes naturelles (CatNat), les Dossiers Départementaux des Risques Majeurs (DDRM) et les Plans de Prévention du Risque Inondation (PPRi)). Deux questions sont posées : quels enseignements peut-on tirer de l’analyse de la couverture spatiale de chacune des procédures, et en les combinant, peut-on voir des effets de seuils ou des jeux d’échelle ? Si les arrêtés CatNat sont révélateurs d’une saisonnalité des inondations et d’une More >
