"Cartography and geographic information (GI) are remarkably appropriate for the requirements
of early warning (EW) and crisis management (CM). The use of geospatial technology
has increased tremendously in the last years. ICT has changed from just using maps
created in advance, to new approaches, allowing individuals (decision-makers) to use
cartography interactively, on the basis of individual user's requirements. The new
generation of cartographic visualizations based on standardisation, formal modelling,
use of sensors, semantics and ontology, allows for the better adaptation of information
to the needs of the users. In order to design a new framework in pre-disaster and
disaster management safety/security/privacy aspects of institutions and citizens need
to be considered. All this can only be achieved by demonstrating new research achievements,
sharing best practices (e.g. in the health area) and working towards the wider acceptance
of geospatial technology in society, with the help of education and media. This book
will outline research frontiers and applications of cartography and GI in EW and CM
and document their roles and potentials in wider processes going on in information/knowledge-based
societies."--Publisher description
