11. Applications in Civil Engineering

Try these first

1. 1.

   Define LULC mapping.

   Hint

   Think about what it tells us about the environment.

2. 2.

   What does GIS stand for?

   Hint

   Is it a type of technology used in mapping?

3. 3.

   What is the primary role of GIS in civil engineering?

   • Data storage
   • Spatial analysis
   • Data deletion

   Hint

   Consider what GIS is designed to do with geographic information.

4. 4.

   True or False? Remote sensing only uses land-based data for analysis.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about how remote sensing collects data from above.

5. 5.

   Design a small highway project using MCDA, considering at least five different factors. Explain your reasoning for each factor's inclusion.

   Hint

   Consider how a highway affects both the environment and the community.

6. 6.

   Evaluate a case where GIS helped mitigate environmental impacts in a large-scale construction project. What techniques were used?

   Hint

   Research past projects to find real-world applications of GIS.
