Proper educational facilities generate the high quality human resource for any nation. Therefore, government needs an efficient system that can help in analysing the current state

The students’ learning of the features of our world, human systems for their needs, realizing their limitations and the width of universe, meeting their needs with sustainable sources and living in a happy and prosperous atmosphere can be possible with geography knowledge. The role of geography education is so significant in terms of society and the country. Students have the chance to learn the necessity to live together, providing social solidarity and the reasons why social development is so crucial in a society through geography education. Geography education also gives students the conscious of social, financial and cultural improvement of a country by getting the knowledge of

applicability of GIS in social studies lessons in primary education To understand asthma prevalence in a localized area, a survey was performed on students in several middle and high schools of the New York City area (Institute on Climate and Planets, 2002). The project started in spring 2000 and continued for several semesters. In the questionnaire, students were asked about their age, gender, race, school and home zip codes, as well as whether they had asthma or not according to their belief. Details of the data formats can be found in the project Web site, http://icp.giss.nasa.gov /research/urbanmaap/ asthma.html . A total of approximately 4300
Preliminary results show good correlation between asthma and poverty. They also correlate well with the spatial distribution of asthma hospitalization data. Results reveal an overall asthma prevalence of ~ 16% as compared to the national average of ~ 12% for a similar age group (5-17 years). When comparing asthma rates among the predominant racial groups of the city – Blacks and Hispanics are found to have a higher prevalence than Whites or Asians. The inner-city population shows a significantly higher asthma prevalence than those in the suburbs. This study shows our understanding of asthma prevalence in a
