Gati na Mikoko: The Management of Waterfront Lands in Mombasa
(1992)A multi-institutional planning team headed by Coast Development Authority (CDA) in Kenya initiated an Integrated Coastal Area Management (ICAM) process in 1994 on a pilot study site of Nyali- ... -
Geodata and Geoinformatics
(2013)Understanding the characteristics of and possibilities in using geodata is premised on proper comprehension of the underlying concepts of space, time and scale, contextualized within the Earth’s framework. Although these ... -
Geodetic Measurements to investigate the crystal movements in the Kenya Rift System
(1988)Forward numerical models are used to investigate the effect of deformation regime on the development of olivine lattice-preferred orientations (LPO) and associated seismic anisotropy within continental deformation zones. ... -
Geodetic models for monitoring crustal deformation along the African Rift System
(2008)Continental rupture models emphasize the role of faults in extensional strain accommodation; extension by dyke intrusion is commonly overlooked. A major rifting episode that began in 2005 September in the Afar depression ... -
Geomatics in the Third Millennium
(1999)The theme of the AfricaGEO 2011 is “Developing Geomatics for Africa”, with an emphasis on the development of Geomatics (as an industry / technology) in the African context. This brings up technological development, as well ... -
Geometric constants in plain cross-bored cylinders
(Dept. of Mech. Eng., University of Nairobi, Kenya, 2003)A three-dimensional FEM computer program was developed to establish the stress distributions and SCFs in thick walled cylinders with flush and nonprotruding plain cross bores under internal pressure. The displacement ... -
Geometric quality enhancement of legacy graphical cadastral datasets through thin plate splines transformation
(Maney PublishingGeospatial and Space Technology, University of Nairobi, 2012)In some parts of the world, mainly developing countries, analogue graphical cadastral datasets are still being used, despite the fact that they usually contain large and differential positional distortions. This is because ... -
Geostatistical Modelling of a High Background Radiation Area Geothermal Field Matrix Trace Elements:
(1998)Estimating spatial variability of trace geothermal signatures is an important factor is evaluating the geothermal field potential. It is expected that a particular geothermal feature (hot spring, fumarole, geyser, etc.) ... -
Geotechnical Properties of Nairobi Soils
(Civil and Construction Engineering, University of Nairobi, 1986) -
Gift of God: Kenya's Tourism Development Ignores Token Legal and lnfrastructural Support
(2008)Tourism has emerged as Kenya's lop foreign exchange earner over the last twenty years. There is evidence 10 show that despite the impressive performance of tourism, the key player, namely the public sector, is doing little ... -
GIS Database
(2013)Once digitized and edited GIS data are stored in a spatial database. Evidently, the quality of the decisions made from a GIS will depend on the quality of the data contained in the database. A spatial database is defined ... -
Gis Driven Web Reporting: a Case Study of Nutrition and Hiv Program
(university of nairobi, 2022)Nutrition is a fundamental factor in managing the HIV/AIDS pandemic. This study focused on the Nutrition and HIV program mainly due to the delicate, bi-directional relationship between nutrition and HIV. The program targets, ... -
GIS for Highway Engineering in Developing Countries
(Civil and Construction Engineering Building, University of Nairobi, 2004)A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer based information system that enables the input, management, analysis, output and dissemination of geospatial data and information. It is therefore an invaluable management ... -
GIS in education planning: The Kenyan School Mapping Project
(2011)School mapping consists of the building of geospatial databases of educational, demographic and socioeconomic data for educational institutions in order to support educational planning and decision making. Such databases ... -
GIS-Based Railway Route Selection for the Proposed Kenya-Sudan Railway: Case Study of Kitale-Kapenguria Section
(Envrironmental and Biosystems Engineering, University of Nairobi, 2007)This paper describes a procedure developed for automated railway feasibility analysis based on GIS and Multi-Criteria analysis. Good engineering railway alignment requirements are assessed and suitable factors and constraints ... -
Global Positioning Satellite System
(1987)The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based satellite navigation system that provides location and time information in all weather conditions, anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an unobstructed line of ... -
The Global Positioning System
(2013)The Global Positioning System or GPS is the oldest and most widely used GNSS system, and as such will be extensively discussed in this and the next chapter. The development of GPS satellites dates from the 1960s.
