GIS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE OF OIL PIPELINE LEAKAGE

The paper describes the use of spatial analysis on Geographical Information System in
analyzing the environmental damage cause by pipeline leakage. For the first part of the
project, the author describe about his background, objective and scope of the study. The
second chapter of the paper particularly emphasis on the research done on the literature
review regarding the environmental damage of oil. It either because of the pipeline
leakage or oil spill from tanker. Then, the paper emphasis on the pipeline and oil
properties. The paper also discusses on the role of GIS as an effective tool to asses the
damage of the pipeline leakage. The method use by the author to develop database is
discuss in chapter three. In chapter four, the author discusses and demonstrates the
developed database. The result and discussion of spatial analysis is discussed in depth in
chapter five and followed by conclusion in chapter six.
