About this book

"Geoinformation technologies offer many new perspectives for geocultural landscape research in a huge variety of scientific disciplines such as archaeology, geography, geology, geomorphology, history, spatial planning, and cultural resource management. The main objective of this book is to constitute a link between landscape related research problems, geoinformation methods and corresponding applications in a wide multi and interdisciplinary perspective. Thus, it bridges the gap between theoretically addressed research issues, methodology used for analysis and practical cases. Its main value is that it addresses innovative geospatial technologies that can support different workflows needed for such analysis. It provides descriptions of a variety of research issues and technological approaches that may be used to support processes of data capturing, mapping, and analysis. These techniques and concepts are illustrated in selected case studies and numerous practical examples."--Jacket.

Seductions of place

Carolyn Cartier & Alan A. Lew

"The seductiveness of touristed landscapes is simultaneously local and global, as travelled places are formed and reworked by the activities of diverse, mobile people, in their desires to experience situated, sensuous qualities of difference. Cartier and Lew’s interesting and informative book explores contemporary issues in travel and tourism and human geography, and the complex cultural, political, and economic activities at stake in touristed landscapes as a result of globalization. This book assesses travel and tourism as simultaneously cultural and economic processes, through ideas about place seduction and the formation of landscapes. Throughout, examples are given from urban and environmental touristed landscapes, from major world cities to tropical islands."--
