Paper Abstract

Natural Resources

GIS as an upstream spatial information solution in the oil and Gas industry, Edmond Wanjala and Elizabeth Kimburi, National Oil Corporation of Kenya

As a platform, Geospatial Information System (GIS) has attained its position as an advanced spatial

data analysis solution crosscutting a handful of industry segments that depend on accurate global

positioning for development. Since its commercialization in the 1960s, GIS has in the recent past

been adopted as the mainstream cartographic and integrated data management tool that has

transited technology from analog hand-drawn to the current digital computer driven platforms. In

the Oil industry where location analytics and intelligent mapping technology are highly required, GIS

has been adopted as a system of choice in presenting data that has a spatial component. In a

complete Oil and Gas business life cycle from opportunity analysis and exploration, through

appraisal and production, up to the abandonment phase, integrated spatial information as

presented in a GIS environment depicts the most current technology that improves greatly how the

upstream oil business model is run presenting timely spatial information that is key to decision

making.

Identifying most vulnerable areas to wildfire incidences Lameck Methuselah, University of Dodoma, Tanzania

The idea of identifying these vulnerable areas by using GIS technology to wildfire is the best way to

spot the affected targets and to come up with the way to prevent it as the purpose to this project. As

for the last year (2106) the area that was affected by wildfire at Tarangire National Park has

increased compared to two years before (2014, 2015).

These vulnerable areas are spotted by using density analysis. And as for this project, Point density

analysis is used to spot the affected areas in terms of brightness (fire intensity). From density

analysis, we also converted each cell value of a raster (point density) to an integer by truncation

which gives us the chance to Converts a raster dataset to polygon features to get estimated the total

area affected by wildfire in kilometre square. At the end we will have several maps showing wildfire

density and estimated area affected.

It will be easy to manage these incidences and to conserve the ecosystem as to come up with an

effective early burning wildfire plan in which this plan is conducted under controlled fire work in

order to avoid sudden wildfire occurrences especially from park’s boundary.

Going Digital – ESRI based paperless data collection for Cheetah Conservation Noreen Mutoro, Action for Cheetahs

Informed conservation management for the cheetah requires reliable status assessments and

inferences on their ability to survive in human-influenced landscapes. In June 2017, Action for

Cheetahs in Kenya (ACK) implemented a phone application designed to record data collected by field

officers. This application was programmed using patrol, transect and interview forms regularly used

by ACK for cheetah monitoring and national survey studies. An evaluation of the application was

conducted as a master's thesis project testing the staff response to the program, the level of

mapping knowledge of users prior to implementing the application, and the usability of the app. We

will review the levels of training involved and the time implications for both field and management

staff. The app will be used in conducting a range-wide survey utilizing biological and social aspect of

research to evaluate cheetah range and distribution. A web based citizen science/engagement

application was also developed for users outside of the organization. ACK Project Director, Mary

Wykstra and ACK scientist, Noreen Mutoro, will present the successes and challenges of

implementing the custom designed mobile application including the ability to collect, record,

manage and store data efficiently utilizing the ESRI online platform (AppStudio for ArcGIS and ArcGIS

Online).

Geotehniques Based Evaluation of Landuse Developmemnt Typologies within Kenya's

Public Universities Kinoti Kibetu, Chuka University

University land use development is influenced by policy framework adopted by the university

management. Establishment of universities in new areas has driven urbanisation and localized

ecological transformations. Locally there exist no studies on the impact of University land

development policies on the observed varying campus land use typologies. To bridge this gap, the

study sought to analyse the implications of the changing Land Use and Land (LULC) around Chuka

and Karatina Universities Main campuses. Land use and cover change was taken as proxy for

understanding cause of variations in land use development within the two campuses. To effectively

address this objective, the study used GIS and remote sensing tools to analyse dynamic interactions

of different aspects of the historical and present university policy regimes between 2003 and 2015.

Findings from the two case studies revealed that land use dynamics are a product of university

management and the national land policy frameworks.

Local Government

How can GIS transform life of Wanjiku? GIS at a Sub-location level David Wamae and Felishina Wambui,

GIS makes an important tool in data visualization and analysis, but in most cases absence of data and

lack of adequate knowledge and skills on how to harness and utilize geospatial techniques become a

hurdle. “Wanjiku” the common mwanaichi is always experiencing unprecedented challenges in the

daily life. But perhaps these challenges are only there due to lack of adequate systems to visualize,

analyze, manage and inform. Application of GIS is limitless and has continuously been used in

developed countries to solve both local and global challenges. In Kenya application of GIS is taking

pace and people are continuously realizing the immense value of using GIS applications. This paper

highlights the immense value that GIS has brought in the improvement of the local administration in

Kabea Sub-location, Laikipia West sub-county, Laikipia County. The main areas of focus are in terms

of the common issues that face people at a community level. The paper will closely examine how GIS

has helped in administration focusing on cases of illicit brew, security, human wildlife conflicts as

well as improved planning in barazas. It also gives a mention to the challenges of adoption of GIS at

the Sub-location level. The paper also gives recommendations on GIS application at a sub-location

level.

Muscle of GIS in Nairobi Waterfund Irene Muthuka, The Nature Conservancy, Africa Region

The Tana river serves as a vital infrastructure for Nairobi city providing 95% of water to 4 million

people and 5million population around the watershed. The watershed collects, stores and filters

water and provide several additional benefits to the people and nature.

Unfortunately, Tana river watershed is exposed to soil run-off, droughts, floods, sediment build-ups

among other threats.

It is from this growing challenge that The Nature Conservancy, Ministry of Environment, County

government and other public and private stakeholders collaboratively work together to protect the

Watershed. The innovations to protect the watershed would in turn increase downstream water

quality and quantity and provide positive benefits for thousands of farmers in the watershed.

GIS has played a key role in planning and implementing this project. It has demonstrated that the

spatial analysis capabilities hold the key to improved watershed management. GIS has provided a

platform for collaboration among the county government, researchers, policy makers and watershed

stakeholders significantly improving consensus building and offering opportunities for collaborative

work on restoring the watershed. GIS continuous to be deployed as a decision support tool in the

project.

The county government has greatly embraced the GIS technology and is supporting work through 4

extension staff.

Coastal Community Resource Use Mapping and Adaptation to Climate Change:

Geospatial Approach Bertha Othoche, Pwani University

Geospatial technologies are a range of tools used in geographic mapping and analysis of human and

physical environments. This paper focuses on Geographic Information Systems, (GIS) as one of the

geospatial technologies that has the ability to assemble a range of geospatial data into a layered set

of maps that can be used in intervention strategies. Climate change is a situation where elements of

climate show disparities with long term average conditions. This has resulted in water scarcity and

dwindling livelihood resources in the study areas. The paper presents results on local community

involvement in exploring water resources utilization and geospatial mapping for sustainability. The

local communities were drawn from three Community Based Organizations, (CBOs) in Bahari

Division, in the coastal region of Kenya. The methodology included identification of the study area,

water resources and their utilization, prospects and constraints, as well as adaptation strategies to

change. Mapping of the resources was carried and Focus Group Discussion sessions organized to

explore potential strategies to minimize the impact of climate change based on observed

characteristics of the study area. The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics to summarize

the characteristics. GIS maps were produced on water resources and climate change impacts

Shared Services: Kenya Open Data Initiative(KODI) Mathew Chemwei and Vincent Mutai, ICT Authority

The world has opened up and citizens across the globe are proclaiming their right to data; the

government of Kenya through the ICT Authority sets out to unlock the potential of Open Data There

is a lot to be gained by sharing data. It promotes accountability, makes citizens true participants in

government, and fosters innovation for better service provision.

With Open Data, we are creating an information marketplace for entrepreneurs and businesses;

releasing valuable raw data from real-time transport information to weather data. Opening up data

is underpinning our public service reforms by offering people informed choices that simply haven’t

existed before, exposing what is inadequate and driving improvement.

So far, we have released almost 905 datasets on our data portal www.opendata.go.ke that cover

health, education, transport, crime and justice.

The formative years KODI were difficult and uncomfortable at times. But the prize is effective public

services on which we all rely are strengthened and improved. Kenyan citizens can now reap the

benefits of transparency and data sharing in the future.

Geospatial research, education and business activities, actor networks and future

development potential in Tanzania Niina Käyhkö, University of Turku (UTU) Finland

We have studied the current state of the geospatial/location-based activities, actors and networks in

Tanzania as they are perceived by the actors, who have answered ‘Geospatial-ICT Survey 2017’

during August-September 2017. This survey is conducted by four Tanzanian Universities, UDSM,

ARU, SUA and SUZA, in collaboration with the University of Turku (UTU) from Finland. The aim of the

ongoing survey is to gather baseline knowledge of Tanzanian geospatial actors, their expertise, key

activities, ongoing cooperation networks and business solutions. By geospatial we mean all those

ICT-related solutions, which are using location-based data or technologies. The survey asks

perceptions of the actors into the Tanzanian geospatial sector strengths, weaknesses, threats and

opportunities and also aims to identify actor connections. The survey is still ongoing in the Internet

until the end of October at https://query.eharava.fi/2081, and therefore we will present preliminary

results of the survey in the conference for further discussion and reflections by the conference

participants.

Cross-Cutting Issues

Terrorism in Africa: Geospatial Technology to the Rescue in Nigeria and Kenya, Chukwudi Gbadebo, Calabar State University

As terrorism thrives in other climes, the governments of Kenya and Nigeria are increasingly

pressured by the activities of Al-Shabaab and Boko-Haram. GIS proved to be key in answering

questions bothering around terrorism. The incidents of attacks from 2010 to 2016 were examined

using secondary data from ACLED. ArcGIS and SPSS were used for analysis, maps and charts for

visualization. Results show there were similarities in the trend of attacks in both countries, peaking

in 2012 and declining in 2016. Shooting (42.6%) was the highest recorded mode of attack in Nigeria

and grenades (31%) in Kenya. Also, civilians were most targeted in both countries (34% in Nigeria

and 47% in Kenya). Assessing the impacts of the onslaught, the highest wave of deaths and injuries

in both countries was in 2014. Spatial analysis revealed a cluster pattern typical to terror, with Borno

State and Garissa Province as strongholds. Other hotspots were also deduced, 11 in Nigeria and 3 in

Kenya. In view of these, reviews showed both governments have made frantic efforts to curb the

peril over time, with varying degrees of success. Peace in the east and west African giants

undoubtedly is gateway to harmony and quality livelihood in Africa.

Capacity Development of Youth in Geospatial Tools for Addressing Climate Change, Dr. Kenneth Mubea, Regional Centre for Mapping of Resources for Development

SERVIR E&SA builds on the institutional partnerships and networks in Eastern and Southern Africa

together with the network and partnerships associated with USAID country missions in the region.

The RCMRD Space Challenge was meant to equip students from high/secondary schools and primary

schools within Kenya and beyond with the necessary skills and awareness in relation to

environmental degradation, climate change and its drivers. Furthermore, this contributes to the

achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), developing the youth in Science,

Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) and ultimately contributing to capacity building of the

youth with the objective of promoting sustainable development. RCMRD partnered with GLOBE

Program Kenya, 4-H Kenya and Esri Eastern Africa in this endeavor.

The challenge involved students from seven schools analyzing data from automatic weather stations

and plotting the results against other location of schools. Nasokol Girls School located at Kishaunet

in West Pokot County (Kenya) emerged the winners followed by St. Scholastica Catholic Primary

School in Nairobi, and Moi Forces Academy Nairobi. The students were urged to utilize the

knowledge acquired to address challenges related to climate change. RCMRD Space Challenge will

be held annually in Kenya in collaboration with partners.

Integrating GIS and Real estate management systems to market and manage facilities

on the web Laban Ndungo, University of Nairobi

Location drives the real estate industry. It is not just about finding any site but finding the best site.

By analyzing geospatial data around locations, real estate agents and potential home owners can

find ideal locations for property based on preference. Use of GIS technology is particularly fitting to

the application of real estate practice considering that property is geospatial in nature, its associated

attributes are plentiful, and the relevance of location is key to the value of a property. With the

recent explosion in the use of the Internet in Kenya, mainly due to the increasing popularity of

smartphones, the benefits that GIS offers in the realtor space is now capable of being placed in the

hands of millions of prospective home owners. Having the right services and information available

via the Internet is an important differentiator for real estate companies, more so when this

information is provided through easy-to-understand map-based viewers. This paper describes how a

web based application that integrates GIS and real estate management systems can be used by a

real estate company to improve its services, attract prospective clientele, and ultimately contribute

to the company’s bottom-line.

A GIS based monitoring system in LWF Faith Kirungi, Lutheran World Federation Uganda

Over 38 years of development and emergency operations in Uganda, the Lutheran World Federation

(LWF) a humanitarian organization has been implementing multi-sectoral projects which bring relief

to South Sudanese and Congolese refugees in the Northern and Western regions of Uganda. There

was need to upgrade the monitoring system that tracks implemented projects, their beneficiaries,

LWF intervention areas and identify gaps in the implementation process and therefore LWF’s

department of Monitoring Evaluation Accountability and Learning (MEAL) found it necessary to

adjust to the use of spatial technologies, ArcGIS in particular to improve projects performance

through evidence based monitoring systems which help to avert challenges in accountability, data

losses and inefficient use of resources in data collection among many others. This paper

demonstrates how the use of GIS has improved reporting, saved on resources in monitoring

activities, data collection and management and has created a platform for sharing what we do with

relevant stakeholders like the donors globally through interactive web maps, story maps thus paved

a linkage to more potential donors.

Technical Workshop Descriptions

ArcGIS Enterprise

ArcGIS Enterprise: An Introduction ArcGIS Enterprise, the next evolution of the ArcGIS Server product line, is a full-featured mapping

and analytics platform. In this session we are going to see how we can uses this dedicated Web GIS

infrastructure for organizing and sharing your work in order to make maps, geographic information,

and analyses available on any device, anywhere, at any time

Insights for ArcGIS Insights for ArcGIS is a web-based, data analytics workbench where you can explore spatial and non-

spatial data. In this session we are going to see how with Insights for ArcGIS, you can quickly discover

the secrets your data holds. Visualize, analyze, and tell your story like never before.

Location Analytics

Creating Geoprocessing Services and Web Tools Geoprocessing services are how you expose the powerful analytic capability of ArcGIS to the World

Wide Web. Geoprocessing services contain geoprocessing tasks, and a task takes simple data

captured in a web application, processes it, and returns meaningful and useful output in the form of

features, maps, reports, and files. Web tools allow you to share your analysis with others in your

organization's portal. Data is stored and processing occurs on a server that is federated with your

portal, which makes it possible for a number of client apps in the ArcGIS platform to run the analysis,

even at the same time.

Analysis and Geoprocessing with ArcGIS Pro In ArcGIS Pro, you can use geoprocessing tools to perform spatial analysis or manage your GIS data.

Whether you are a new or advanced user, geoprocessing will likely be an essential part of your day-

to-day work. In addition to the suite of tools, geoprocessing also has a powerful framework that

supports control of the processing environment and allows you to build custom tools that can

further automate your work. This session will teach you how to use geoprocessing tools included in

ArcGIS as building blocks to create custom tools that automate repetitive tasks or solve complex

problems.

ArcGIS for Community Engagement

ArcGIS Hub ArcGIS Hub brings data-driven policy to life. The framework combines data, visualization, analytics,

and collaboration technology to enable governments and citizens to work together on real-world

initiatives that tackle the most pressing issues in their communities. Learn how to gather data with

surveys, perform spatial and statistical analyses, and create Story Maps and insights to share with

your community and the government.

Informing and Engaging your Community with Esri Story Maps Esri Story Maps let you combine authoritative maps with narrative text, images, and multimedia

content. They make it easy to harness the power of maps and geography to tell your story. Join us in

this session as we illustrate how you use ArcGIS to create compelling stories, manage stories and

enterprises are learning how to effectively leverage this emerging technology. With Drone2Map for

ArcGIS, drones become more than just image capture devices—they are enterprise GIS productivity

tools. Learn how to create orthomosaics, point clouds, and 3D meshes with Drone2Map for ArcGIS,

and quickly share the results within an organization.

Image Analysis in ArcGIS Pro Traditionally, image and raster analysis is realized through geoprocessing tools. The geoprocessing

tools, Python scripting, and ModelBuilder work in unison to provide efficient automation of data

management operations in the geoprocessing framework. While these geoprocessing tools are vital

to many workflows, there is another modern approach to image and raster analysis that processes

and displays your results immediately as you pan and zoom to imagery. Explore the imagery

capabilities in ArcGIS Pro to manage, analyze, visualize, and share your raster data. This raster

functionality is contextual- the options presented depend on the type of data you have selected.

Mapping and Visualization

Applying Advanced Symbology and Labeling Using ArcGIS Pro At its simplest level of representation, spatial data exists as points, lines, areas, or rasters. You

encode meaning into these basic shapes through a process of symbolization. Symbolization can take

on a range of functions on a map but should be clear, concise, and easily understood by the user.

ArcGIS Pro provides you with the tools to display and customize the appearance of labels on your

map. In this session, you will learn how to add labels to your map and adjust their placement, and

how to distinguish features on your map with a visual hierarchy and direct attention to the purpose

of your project.

Creating Vector Tiles using ArcGIS Pro Vector tiles contain vector representations of data across a range of scales. With ArcGIS Pro, it is

easy to create and share fast vector tiles that can be used to design and create compelling web apps.

In this session we are going to learn about vector tile functionality, the map authoring techniques

used to create them, and see how you can publish a vector tile layer to ArcGIS Online using one of

the methods described in the following sections and finally use the resultant hosted vector tile layer

for basemaps.

ArcGIS for the Field

Survey123 for ArcGIS Survey123 for ArcGIS is a simple and intuitive form-centric data gathering solution that makes

creating, sharing, and analyzing surveys possible in just three easy steps; Quickly design powerful
