DOWNLOAD COVER

“GI_Forum” publishes high quality original research across the transdisciplinary field of Geographic Information Science (GIScience). The journal provides a platform for dialogue among GI-Scientists and educators, technologists and critical thinkers in an ongoing effort to advance the field and ultimately contribute to the creation of an informed GISociety. Submissions concentrate on innovation in education, science, methodology and technologies in the spatial domain. “GI_Forum” implements the policy of open access publication (CC-BY-ND-License) after a double-blind peer review process through a highly international team of established scientists for quality assurance. Special emphasis is put on actively supporting young scientists through formative reviews of their submissions.

In the 2021-2 issue, the following three thematic areas are addressed: Advances in GIScience, Geo-Social Analytics, and Learning and Education with Geomedia. The contributions, for example, evaluate modes of generalization in animated choropleth maps; investigate different Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) architectures for monitoring wildlife in complex natural habitats; introduce an Augmented Reality learning environment for Geoinformatics education; investigate pedestrian infrastructure in a city considering the COVID-19 restrictions; or propose a customised workflow for place extraction from social media text and subsequent geocoding; or address various mobility issues for sustainable cities.
