摘要:One of the major problems of Tehran, Capital city of Iran, is air pollution that seriously affects human's health. Spatial dispersion of air pollutants such as CO, NO 2 , SO 2 and PM from stationary and mobile sources or natural disasters has important effect on the air quality. Proper management of the problem is considered to be quite complex due to lack of accurate, up to date and organized geospatial data and analysis as well as lack of an integrated system for acquisition, storage, manipulation, retrieval, analysis, presentation and exchange of environmental data. Nowadays, geospatial information systems (GIS) as management and supporting systems, enable us to integrate and analyze a number of environmental data from different sources to model the overall impact of air pollutants on environment. This paper presents the process of design and development of a customized temporal GIS for environmental management. Based on hourly, daily and monthly data acquired from seven air quality monitoring stations distributed in Tehran, a number of spatial and statistical analyses have been performed. Spatial analysis such as overlay, buffering and zoning have been performed and provide an environmental alarming system. Spatial correlation and distribution factors and their impact on environmental pollution have been considered in this research. The initial results of the analysis showed that the developed customized system as an environmental decision support system (EDSS) can be effectively used in monitoring and managing different pollutants
