Quantifying the social and economic value that geospatial
information contributes to modern society is a complex task. To
construct reliable and consistent valuation measures requires an
understanding of the sequence of processes that starts with data
acquisition, and leads to decision-makers' choices that impact
society. GEOValue explores each step in this complex value chain
from the viewpoint of domain experts spanning disciplines that
range from the technical side of data acquisition and management to
the social sciences that provide the framework to assess the
benefit to society. The book is intended to provide foundational
understanding of the techniques and complexities of each step in
the process. As such it is intended to be assessable to a reader
without prior training in data acquisition systems, information
systems, or valuation methods. In addition, a number of case
studies are provided that demonstrate the use of geospatial
information as a critical input for evaluation of policy pertaining
to a wide range of application areas, such as agricultural and
environmental policy, natural catastrophes, e-government and
transportation systems.
