    The people new to Geographical Information System (GIS) and even many who have been working in it for some time are unsure about its extent and content due to its nature of comparative recency, rapid rate of development and diversity of application. The first part of the paper aims to provide an overview of the origin,brief development history and appropriate definition of GIS, and the relationship with other disciplines and technologies related. Three main views are evident,namely, the map, database and spatial analysis views,from point of view of usage of GIS as scientific tool.It is understood that the development of GIS is driven and affected by the technology improvements and revolution, wide and diverse applications.The next part tries to explain how GIS is used to describe the geographical feature and space in digital way, and how different kinds of geographical data are organized into an integrated database, and what kinds of spatial analytical tools are fundamental to GIS, and how it is used in our problem solution. It is concluded that GIS provide us a new way to think about our earth and analyze the complex issues we meet.The last paragraph, the front topics on GIS, begins with discussion abut the three-dimensional and temporal GIS. The nature of the multi-dimension of geographical information needs us to develop a new generation of such a system. However we still have a long way to go before such an useful and powerful system comes out. Then author spends a few of words on the geographical information sciences and geo-informatics.Bases on this discussion it is said that GIS will become a basic public information system used by all over society.

    Database is a base-stane of a GIS system. The establishment of a database takes not only quite lots of money but quite lots of labor and time resource as well. In China, numerous GIS systems have been established for differant purpose. Although the database technology has been mature, there are many problems which should be taken into consideretion in establishing a database, or the database established by quite high investment would be a ″garbage″. This paper was to discuss several important issues in developing a GIS database, based on our experience and practices of lots of case studes:(1) Normalizing attributes table and designing relations between tables. Using a example of land register database in Fangshan District, BeiJing. His paper had discussed:① relations between attributes tables defined by system and by user; ②relations between attributes tables defined by user;③ according to functional depondency, descompose a unnormalization table to normalization tables (3NF) having stacking relations.(2) The design of exampling elevation data.Using, example of elevation data base in Huaihe river basin (from Huaibin to Benbu). this paper had discussed: ① selection and unification of elevation datum plane;②selection of exampling method; ③ design of exampling distance; ④ particular dealing with dyke and river elevments in flood elevation database.(3) The registration of spacial information. Using example of Huaihe river basin and evaluations about flood disaster situations of Fuji and Gangdon in 1994. This paper had discussed:① the registration of spacial information from different scale maps: ② the registration of spacial information from maps and image ;③ the registration of image data from different remote plat form and from different time phese.(4) The data quality control of GIS database: ① the precision of source data and controling and checking method;② the precision controling of derivative data;③the temporal truth of data and solving method;④using data dictionary to trace the data quality.

    The problems of integrating spatial analytical models with Geographical Information Systems (GIS)are discussed in this paper. The low degree of openness, insufficient capabilities of presenting of the real world,inseparable usage of GIS functions, and lack of efficient application development tools are the main shortages of current commercial GISs.Referring to the new advances of current computer operating systems, based on the database management system (DBMS) and client/server model, GIS is redesigned as the basic extension of the computer operating system. This new designed GIS is called CoreGIS. CoreGIS are composed of CoreGIS core, CoreGIS Application Programming Interface (API), CoreGIS development tool, CoreGIS operating environment, and spatial analytical models. The core of CoreGIS consists of four categories of servers.CoreGIS API is the standard interface of CoreGIS core. Other components of CoreGIS are built on the former two components. CoreGIS may overcome the obstacles of integrating spatial analytical models with GIS, and help accelerate the GIS development.

    Spatial geo-information includes global linear trend, local temporal-spatial linear, cycles, nonlinear components, and white noise. The global linear trend is filtered out by ordinary linear least square; Considering the possible temporal-spatial correlation, the local temporal-spatial signal is filered out by 7 temporalspatial linear regression equation; The cycles are filered out by Lomb frequence method;the nonlienear components are filered out by error propogation neural network model.The components are integreted sequencely or simulteouly. With training dataset and testing dataset, and model diagnostic and prediction indices, the control parameters in the model are adjusted adaptively and the model with the hast generation is found and is used for spatial prediction.

    Environmental regionalization information system is a thematic information system. On the basis of the theorems and the index system of environmental regionalization, it was designed and built up. This paper began from analyzing the characteristics of the regional environment, and then discussed the designing, modeling and setting up the database and model-base of the system. Environmental regionalization was proceeded with a case study for Turpan Basin. Based on the studies above, an application model for evaluation of the environmental quality was studied and discussed. Some significant understanding were gotten from the study:(1) The system should be designed to be an user-oriented system; the storage structures of the spacial maps and the attribute databases, the uniform objects of cross analysis of the databases should be determined by the principles of regionalization. For some special study areas where the oasis distribute isolated and the data about the natural geography, such as precipitation, temperature and so on, are not enough, the data are composed according to the administration boundaries, so that it meet the needs of the regionalization.(2) The study shows that GIS provides a very powerful tool for regionalization. The GIS not only makes the regionalization very fast and accurate, but also provides many computation tools, and all the information related to the regionalization, including maps and data. Further analysis can be done on the databases of GIS. Therefore GIS provides a better method for any kind of regionalization.
