GI_Forum Journal is an international, peer reviewed Open Access journal that provides a forum for the critical examination of spatial enquiry. It publishes high quality original research across the transdisciplinary field of Geographic Information Science (GIScience), Media Geographies and Geomedia Education. The journal provides a platform for dialogue among GI-Scientists and educators, technologists, social scientists, and critical thinkers in an ongoing effort to advance the field and ultimately contribute to an informed GISociety.

Submissions focus on innovation in education, science, methodology, technologies and communication in the spatial domain and their role towards a more just, ethical, and sustainable science and society. The journal explicitly welcomes contributions that emphasise efforts to address spatially relevant issues from an inter- and transdisciplinary, theoretical as well as empirical perspectives.

GI_Forum Journal is a journal of the Austrian Academy of Sciences.

The 2023-1 Issue comprises work of researchers from different disciplines, most of whom presented their work at the GI_Salzburg 2023 conference (https://gi-salzburg.org/en/). The articles address diverse collections of spatiotemporal data such as multispectral LIDAR, SAR or biology-related datasets, and advanced concepts, methods and tools applied for their analysis like OBIA or Google Earth Engine. Applications range from natural resources management, natural phenomena and hazards to green spaces, urban place perception, mobility, and infrastructure. The impact of ChatGPT on teaching and learning GIScience based on an anecdotal approach contributes to the overall discourse in the scientific and educational community respectively.

GIS as a technology has come a long way, from the early adoption of technical wizardry to the ubiquitous, if unconscious use by the masses. The creation of the GISociety is on its way through technological development, theoretical and empirical scientific research and inclusion of technology into education with increasing pedagogical justification. Defining new dimensions of hard- and software, brainware and orgware are all needed to further develop the GISociety.



The Geoinformatics Forum (www.gi-forum.org) held in Salzburg from July 2-5, 2013, links into these research areas. We are pleased to present work by researchers who actively contribute to the creation of the GISociety in theoretical, technical, and educational terms. This reflects that a GISociety can only be created though close interaction among the domains of science, technology and education. Topics of the 2013 proceedings therefore include:

• Advances in Geographic Information Science

and Geographic Information Technology

• Spatial Citizenship

• Education for Digital Earth

• Ecosystem and Biodiversity Monitoring: Best Practice in Europe and Globally (EO4Hab)



The book is aimed at researchers and practioners in the field geoinformation with an academic, industrial or educational background.
