Geoinformation technologies for geocultural landscapes
Oliver Bender, Niki Evelpido, Alenka Krek
"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.
