This paper presents a new geospatial approach, and a proposal to study the geographic educational path of individuals or social groups identified by researchers using a Geographic Information System (GIS) and spatial statistics. A scheme... more
Since its emergence in the 1990s, the area of Participatory GIS (PGIS) has generated numerous interactive mapping tools to support complex planning processes. The need to involve non-expert users makes the usability of these tools a... more
Anyone involved in teaching the principles and applications of geographic information science and technology (GIS&T) understands the challenges of effective instruction within an environment subject to nearly constant change. Indeed, the... more
GIS technology has transformed spatial data handling capabilities and made it necessary for governments to reexamine their roles with respect to the supply and availability of geographical information. This paper reviews the experiences... more
In the northern latitudes of the Western Hemisphere, a region dominated by tundra environments and limited resource variability, human foragers adapted their hunting and settlement strategies to gain advantage over an abundant and highly... more
Gazetteers are important tools used in a wide variety of workflows that depend on linking natural language text to geographical space. The spatial properties of these data sources, such as coverage, balance, and completeness, affect the... more
OpenStreetMap (OSM) is currently an important source for building data, despite the existence of potential quality issues. Previous studies have assessed OSM data quality by comparing it with reference building data, which may not... more
The geographic domain has widely been studied in ontology research. However, integrating the conceptualization of time and temporal referencing of geographic concepts in data models is a complex task that has by no means been " solved ".... more
In the northern latitudes of the Western Hemisphere, a region dominated by tundra environments and limited resource variability, human foragers adapted their hunting and settlement strategies to gain advantage over an abundant and highly... more
The primary aim of image data collection is to extract information from imagery and turn scene content into knowledge. In Geographic Information Science (GIScience), the term " object-based image analysis " (OBIA) was tentatively... more
Choosing a textbook is among the most important decisions instructors make in preparation for an academic term. Geographic Information Systems and Technology (GIS&T) textbook development has been influenced by a unique set of... more
La crescente disponibilità di informazioni geografiche e il rapido sviluppo di nuove tecnologie per la gestione dei dati geografici (dai droni, al WebGIS, al Mobile-GIS) richiedono l'aggiornamento, la riorganizzazione e lo sviluppo... more
Artykuł prezentuje podejście świata nauki do roli, jaką odgrywa GIS w jej ramach. Przedstawia dyskusję, jaka miała miejsce w 1993 r. w ramach debaty GIS-L, jej najważniejsze wnioski zaprezentowane w pracy D.J. Wrighta, M.F. Goodchilda i... more
The visualization of hierarchical and nested spatial regions remains a challenge to cartographers. Despite progress in computer algorithms for visualizing general hierarchical data, mapping spatial hierarchical regions, especially with... more

Cet ouvrage montre la valeur de la „theorie des lieux centra- ux” pour les etudes byzantines. Cette methode regressive permet la reconstruc- tion des structures d'habitat non seulement dans l'Empire byzantin et l'Empire serbe mais encore... more
The increasing availability of geographic information and the rapid development of new technologies for the management of geographic data (from drones, to WebGIS, to Mobile-GIS) require the updating, the reorganization and the development... more
La recherche porte sur un processus participatif de production d'un Système d'information géographique (SIG) amenant les participants à explorer leurs représentations territoriales afin de favoriser leur implication dans l'aménagement.... more
In contemporary cities, data are a key component in drives to become "smarter". From sensors embedded in the urban landscape to increasing pressure to make data freely available in open data platforms, new ways of producing and collecting... more
A general understanding of the solar admittance and solar gains incident on the urban fabric is very useful to assess the potential implementation of renewable energies at the scale of the city. The authors propose a tool that uses Light... more
In just twenty years, the World Wide Web and mobile networks have changed the way we communicate, the way we search for information we need, and the way we organize our activities. The opportunities aff�orded by these changes led to the... more
Gazetteers are dictionaries of geographic place-names that have important implications far beyond the worlds of geographers and cartographers. By containing ‘definitive’ lists of places, gazetteers have the ontological power to define... more
Interview given by Mihailo Popović on the scholarly project "A Digital Geoportal of the History of the Serbs in Vienna (1741-1918)" (Austrian Journal Kosmo 05/2018, p. 50f.). Cf. on the respective project:... more
The relation of spatial data and e-Government is important, but not always acknowledged in the development and implementation of e-Government. The implementation of the INSPIRE directive pushed this agenda towards a growing awareness of... more
Image retrieval of landscape photographs requires accurate annotation using multi-faceted descriptions relating to the subject and content of the photograph. The subject of such photographs is dominantly the terrain and spatial objects... more
This paper presents a new geospatial approach, and a proposal to study the geographic educational path of individuals or social groups identified by researchers using a Geographic Information System (GIS) and spatial statistics. A scheme... more
In this chapter, an overview of different variants of the original Self-Organizing Map algorithm is presented, with an emphasis on those that can integrate spatial reasoning or otherwise be applied in the context of Geographic Information... more
There has been much successful research to analyze the movement of people, wildlife, goods, and more, where the data is precise movement trajectories. This research has mostly ignored geographic movement that comes in the form of text... more
User-generated family trees are invaluable for constructing population-scale family networks and studying population dynamics over many generations and far into the past. Family trees contain information on individuals such as birth and... more
The accreditation of GIS programs was first proposed more than 25 years ago as a means of encouraging consistency in instructional content and learning outcomes across many new GIS programs being developed at U.S. colleges and... more
