The eco-tourism is an important element in the economic and social development at the both local and international levels. It represent an essential economic resource for the governmental sector, so this research particularly important because it is looking for the possibility of using GIS techniques in the protected areas management. The objective of this study is to verify the GIS importance in creating data-base which is significant for Naby Matta protected area managers; this data-base is basically helping in the development of the ecotourism. The results of research confirmed the importance of geographic information systems in designing of database and the various maps and its role in determining the steps tourism development such as determining the places of assimilation and classify it according of the visitors density, select the better tracks for pedestrians, the appointment of entry points and restaurants, observation points, in addition to the investment potential of geographic information systems in spatial analysis such as proximity and distance analysis of particular point from another point, or search for a particular tourist attraction and find it such as searching for the best spots to enjoy the picturesque scenery away from sensitive environmental housing thus saving time and effort and speed in the service of visitors.

This study includes a full analysis of climatic, vegetation, and topographical factors in Nabe Matta preserve (Drekish Region – Tartous Governorate – Syria), which is considered as the most important factors affecting forest fires. The data were coll ected for each fire and analyzed by statistical programs (SPSS) and (EXCEL), and the relationship between these multiple factors and the phenomenon of recurrence of fire in one area (fire risk region) was studied. Then the data and the results of the analysis and multi relationship had been studied within the geographic information system software (GIS) to obtain the map of fire risk region, as well as results from topographic maps (1:50.000), aerial photographs (1:25.000), and the needed maps were designed for the study such as (slope map - aspect map - vegetation cover map - infrastructure map - fire risk region map),then places of monitoring towers and centers of rapid intervention in high-risk areas have been proposed for the occurrence of fires. These maps are considered as warning systems and with it we can predict the probability of any fire in the Preserve when the appropriate conditions are provided for it.
This research highlights the vital role of Pavement Management Systems integrated with Geographic Information Systems in planning and managing road maintenance in Lattakia, and getting a flexible local system by following a new method in processing a nd viewing information that supports maintenance decision. This study included applying a pilot project for managing pavement maintenance over a group of roads following The General Establishment for Road Communications. Those roads were divided to links and segments then evaluated using the " Asphalt Institute Method ", which gave us a numeric pointer that led in turn to the type of maintenance needed for a particular pavement. In this research, we depended on the Geographic Information Systems to design and build a comprehensive database, that reflected the present condition of the studied roads, and enabled us to store, analyze and document pavement surface condition and link it to the digitized maps of the studied roads. This guaranteed easy and direct access to various kinds of data and solutions as every segment appeared in a different color reflecting its conditions according to the theme of the map. By doing so, we could support the process of taking right maintenance decisions.
The soil water erosion risk is one of the most important problems and challenges facing the agricultural process in the Syrian coast today. The aim of this study was to determine the spatial distribution of dangerous areas of water erosion in the basin of the Mrqyieh River using CORINE model. To achieve this objective, the first phase of the study was to evaluate the soil erosion viability based on soil characteristics (soil texture, soil depth and percentage of stones); these properties were classified according to their influence degree on soil erosion. The potential risk erosion map was based on crossing all information obtained from soil erodibility, erosivity index and the degree of slope at study area by using GIS technologies. The land cover map of the study was produced and classified to two classes depending on soil protection degree. Then, an actual risk map of soil erosion was prepared after crossing land cover and potential risk erosion classes of study sites. This study showed that 14.8% of the studied area facing high risk of soil erosion, while the soil risk was moderate in 40.4% and low in 44.8% of the study area. The highly risked erosion area was located in the center, northern and northwest parts of the study area. Moreover, the study confirmed that the land cover is the most influential factor on soil water erosion. The results showed that the Corine model for soil water erosion mapping is a highly effective and cost-effective approach
3D models of historical sites and monuments are very interesting in archaeology and digital tourism fields. These models help archeologists document historical sites and analyze the relationships between their components. Moreover, 3D models constitu te an attractive factor that encourages visiting sites and presents virtual information about cultural heritage. In this paper, we propose an approach that uses capabilities of CAD (Computer Aided Design) and GIS (Geographic Information System) systems to construct spatial and semantic database for historical sites and modeling them in 3D. Users of the mentioned database can use it to gather information about sites and to navigate across them via the animation capabilities in GIS. The proposed ideas will be applied on the historical site of Ras-SHAMRA in Lattakia. Spatial data concerning the site will be acquired form a topographic plan designed in 2004. These data will then be processed and introduced into GIS environment. ArcGIS software will be used to achieve an Archeological Information System (AIS) for the site and to construct a 3D model of the site and the royal palace.
تشير الخدمات البلدية أو خدمات المدن إلى الخدمات الأساسية التي يتوقع المقيمون في المدينة أو البلدة من حكومة المدينة أن توفرها لهم، وتشمل هذه الخدمات (مرافق الصرف الصحي – الشوارع – المدارس – المراكز الصحية – الكهرباء) وغيرها من خدمات. وتختلف الخدمات ا لبلدية المتوفرة لدى بلدية ما بحسب الموقع والتشريعات والتاريخ والتقاليد، وقد تختلف الخدمات المقدمة من دولة لأخرى أو حتى داخل الدولة الواحدة. إن المهمة الأساسية للخدمات العامة هي تلبية احتياجات ورغبات السكان، وكونها أيضا تمثل جزءاً مهماً من البنية الفيزيائية والاستخدامات الحضرية للتجمع السكاني، لذلك كان لابد من العمل على توزيعها وتطويرها بشكل يتناسب مع التطور الحاصل لذلك المجتمع. تعد قضية توفير الخدمات العامة إحدى القضايا الأكثر الحاحاً، ويمثل تحديد المعدلات والمعايير التخطيطية للخدمات إشكالية مهمة من إشكاليات التنمية العمرانية في سوريا، وبرغم كل التطلعات الطموحة لتحقيق المعدلات الأعلى أو المعدلات المثلى أو المعدلات القريبة لنظيرتها العالمية، إلا أنه يصعب احداث طفرة فجائية لتحقيق هذه المعدلات الأعلى. وقد شهدت المعرفة الجغرافية تطورا ملحوظا في مجالات مختلفة، واستخدام نظم المعلومات الجغرافية وإمكانياتها في التحليل المكاني لهذه الخدمات، فنظرا لأهمية هذه الخدمات وارتباطها المباشر بالسكان تحتاج إلى عمليات رصد وتوقيعها في نظام المعلومات الجغرافي وإنشاء قاعدة بيانات شاملة لها على أجهزة الحاسوب. ولإنجاز هذه المهمة يمكن الاستعانة ببعض النظم التي تهتم بالتخطيط الحضري والتي من أهمها نظم المعلومات الجغرافية، التي تتمتع بقدرة عالية على استيعاب كم هائل من البيانات والمعلومات، مع إمكانية ربطها بمواقع جغرافية، إضافة الى قدرتها على القيام بالعديد من العمليات الحسابية.
