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.
