WebGIS Implementation for Dynamic Mapping and Visualization of Coastal Geospatial Data: A Case Study of BESS Project
Abstract
:1. Introduction
- -
- A methodological approach for the implementation of a WebGIS necessary for a very detailed dynamic mapping and visualization of geospatial coastal data.
- -
- The description of the dataset necessary for the monitoring of coastal areas, especially the PBs.
- -
- A demonstration of a case study for the PBs of Sicily and Malta by using the methodology and the dataset used during the BESS project.
2. Materials and Methods
2.1. Study Area
2.2. Dataset Preparation and Data Description
2.3. Methodology
- -
- WebGIS: publication of geographic information data through an interactive web page that does not require the use of specific GIS software for their use.
- -
- Geo web service: a particular architecture that allows the return of geographic data located remotely through specific protocols, following a request made either through a simple web browser or through specific client applications.
3. Results
3.1. WebGIS Visualization and Mapping
- Title of the web window reflecting the container of all the information relating to the project.
- Initial map with the default scale set
- Tool that allows for activating or deactivating of a basemap layer from the map background. In this study, OpenStreetMap was used due to the amount of information it contains.
- The legend lists the various data layers (raster and vector) in order of overlap, inserted within the map; both single and multi-layers may be accessed. Some layers can be grouped according to the composition of the project. By clicking on the small triangle on the left of each layer, the relative symbol will appear, opening the data related to the information layer. By selecting a specific layer, it will be possible to obtain relevant information, like its spatial extension, or to modify, with various levels, its degree of opacity. Once any layer is activated, it will appear in the map according to a presentation style previously created in QGIS. By clicking with the left mouse button on any vector element, a popup window will appear on the right containing the information of the objects positioned in that particular point (Figure 5).
- This tool allows navigation of the map through various buttons:
- (1).
- Pan—the horizontal shift (the hand sign symbol) allows movement around the map by clicking and holding the left mouse button. It is also possible to use the mouse wheel, both forwards and backwards, thus activating the modification of the scale, keeping the mouse cursor in the center of the map;
- (2).
- Zoom window (red plus symbol), which allows a specific zoom by dragging the pointer in order to draw a rectangle, which then defines the area of interest to be scaled;
- (3).
- Zoom to initial map extension’s symbol allows zoom of the starting map;
- (4).
- Zoom in—zoom out’s symbol allows selection of the zoom level through a scale bar;
- (5).
- Previous and next zoom: these two indicators allow one to scroll through the zoom history.
- The panel displaying the map overview uses a blue square highlight to indicate the current surface shown on the map. Furthermore, a scale bar and coordinates of the cursor point position based on the reference system set are also shown inside this panel, in this case UTM WGS84 33N. It is possible to change the map view by moving the blue square on the overview. In the lower right corner, there is also the exact geographical position. Finally, a small drop-down menu also allows choosing the unit of measurement (meters/degrees/degrees and minutes/degrees, minutes, and seconds).
- The location tool allows a specific position to be reached, based on any categorized item of the project, in this case, an individual PB under study. These actions are initially carried out by identifying the area in which the various PBs are grouped, for example, the Sicilian Provinces (Messina, Palermo, Catania, Syracuse, Ragusa, Agrigento, and Trapani), Malta, Gozo, and Comino. Once this parameter has been identified, the beaches discriminated for that area will appear in the second window; by selecting the latter, it will appear on the map to the same extent as the selected geometric object (Figure 6).The activated layer corresponds to the orthophoto.
- Toolbar
- Layer symbol activates or deactivates the layer management panel and its legend (D)
- Information allows obtaining information relating to the map description, set properties, contacts of the person responsible for the published data, and other features.
- Star tool allows selecting and filtering the geometries of a single layer into the map using various tools, and, subsequently, displays in the attributes table.
- Localization symbol activates or deactivates the localization tool (G).
- By clicking Ruler tool it is possible to choose the type of the activated measure (length, area, and perimeter).
- Permalink allows users to obtain an external link that will allow them to save the map in the exact extension, projection, and scale of that moment.
- Table attribute symbol activates the attribute tables of the vector layers present in the project, with the possibility to sort and select the fields, as well as to filter them in order to make comparisons.
- Popup (message) symbol represents the pop-up window for the information of the selected data.
- Atlas (globe) symbol represents the atlas, or a sequential display of a given layer. In this case the single PBs layer was chosen for display. It is also possible to automatically reproduce the sequence of the beaches using the “play” button.
3.2. Examples of Comparison
4. Discussion
- (1)
- The creation of a management model extended to a sufficiently large area.
- (2)
- Ensuring that planning is functional to the defense of the natural asset and its conscious and sustainable use.
- (3)
- Making the model implementable continuously, wherever possible involving local administrations, and available to public and private users, using state of the art technologies.
