This book contains a collection of papers discussing questions related to space and movement in the framework of computational archaeology, landscape archaeology, historical geography and archaeological theory. The contributions, written by recognized experts in the field, show how the study of settlements pattern and movement has been dramatically transformed by the use of technology like Geographic Information System (GIS). The papers focus on the ways to approach past movement using GIS in archaeological landscape studies: theoretical, technical and interpretative issues are addressed and explored. They provide the state of the art in theory and methodology and show, by using case studies, the potential of the developed approaches for the understanding of factors and effects of landscape formation and transformation in the long term.

Durch den schnellen Fortschritt in der Informationstechnologie und das rapide Anwachsen raumbezogener Daten steigen die Anforderungen an Systeme, die Wissen aus diesen Daten extrahieren und darstellen. ""Urban Data Mining"" wird als Methodik zur Problemlösung verstanden, um logische oder mathematische, zum Teil komplexe Beschreibungen von Mustern und Regelmäßigkeiten in Datensätzen zu entdecken. Auf der Grundlage von bestehenden Methoden des Data Mining und der Knowledge Discovery wird ein für die Stadt- und Regionalforschung strukturiertes methodisches Arbeitskonzept erarbeitet und am deutschen Gemeindesystem empirisch-analytisch vorgestellt. Neben Methoden, die eine kritische Bestandsaufnahme und Auseinandersetzung mit vorhandenen räumlichen Eigenschaften und Entwicklungstendenzen ermöglichen, werden Vorgehensweisen gesucht, die sich eignen, bereits vorhandene Informationen oder Erkenntnisse auf weitere Objekte zu übertragen.

Precision Public Health is a new and rapidly evolving field, that examines the application of new technologies to public health policy and practice. It draws on a broad range of disciplines including genomics, spatial data, data linkage, epidemiology, health informatics, big data, predictive analytics and communications. The hope is that these new technologies will strengthen preventive health, improve access to health care, and reach disadvantaged populations in all areas of the world. But what are the downsides and what are the risks, and how can we ensure the benefits flow to those population groups most in need, rather than simply to those individuals who can afford to pay? This is the first collection of theoretical frameworks, analyses of empirical data, and case studies to be assembled on this topic, published to stimulate debate and promote collaborative work.

Remote sensing and GIS play critical roles in water resource and flood inundation mapping and risk management. Remote sensing provides data sources for mapping water resources (snow and glaciers, water bodies, soil moisture and groundwater), measuring hydrological fluxes (ET, precipitation and river discharge), and monitoring drought and flooding inundation, while GIS provides the best tools for water resources, drought and flooding risk management and for setting up hydrologic models, inputting data processing and output analyses and visualizations. This Special Issue Book presents the best practices, cutting-edge technologies and applications of remote sensing, GIS and hydrologic models for water resources mapping, satellite rainfall measurements, runoff simulation, water body and flood inundation mapping and risk management. The latest technologies applied include 3D model analysis and visualization of glaciers, UAV video image classification for turf grass mapping and irrigation planning, ground penetration radar for soil moisture estimates, TRMM and GPM satellite rainfall measurements, storm hyetograph analysis, rainfall runoff and urban flooding simulation, satellite radar and optical image classification for urban water bodies and flooding inundation. The application of these technologies is expected to greatly relieve the pressures on water resources and assist in better mitigating and adapting to the impact of drought and flooding.
