Usage and Benefits of Geographic Information Technologies: Proceedings Applied Geoinformatics for Society and Environment 2010 (AGSE Conferences) (Volume 3)

The Applied Geoinformatics for Society and Environment (AGSE) series of seminars was started in 2008 with the objective of taking the benefits of geographic information technologies to a wide canvas of applicable areas, particularly in the realms of development, environment and social well-being, seeking to align itself with the laudable aims of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. This book is the collection of the submissions of AGSE 2010, co-organized by Stuttgart University of Applied Sciences, Germany, and University of San Agustín and Santa Maria Catholic University - Arequipa, Peru, covering scientific and application oriented tracks classed into 12 broad themes of current relevance to geoinformatics like Environmental Issues, Sustainable Development, Millennium Development Goals; Open Source Solutions and Tools; Internet-based Applications; Neogeography and Geovisualisation; Photogrammetry; SDI; LiDAR data analysis; GIS and health; GI Policy and Society, e-Government; and alumni experiences.
