Abstract : This dissertation aims to help firefighters to locate a place of the fire using mobile geographic information systems GIS in civil defense operations in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The researcher uses a mobile programmer called “Firefighters Assistant Mobile System (FAMS)” which is designed to run on both Android and iOS operating systems. FAMS is a research version used to prove the proposed hypothesis of the research. It collects geographical data to get the coordinates of the point at which the user stands up to by using satellites through the use of global positioning systems _GPS which available through Google earthr. To investigate the contribution of the FAMS to assist firefighters, the researcher used the descriptive and analytical method which is based on the study of the phenomenon as it is on the ground, and then described an accurate description qualitatively and quantitatively. Then, the researcher used and analyzed the leads to results coming from testing FAMS in order to identify the accuracy of determining the places and then, to determine how the proposed method assist the firefighters to reach and access into a fire place in a right time. One of the most important findings of the study is that the firefighters are very interested in applying new technology of geographic information systems in the civil defense centers. Based on these findings, the researcher suggest several recommendations to help in the use of (GIS) through mobile in the civil defense operations, as well as to find solutions for how to apply its functions in the real world.
