Advances in Geoinformatics Technologies: Facilities and Utilities Optimization and Management for Smart City Applications

智慧城市實施智慧城市專案或活動時，有許多地理資訊系統（GIS）產品可供選擇。然而，大部分地理資訊技術及其應用的書籍都偏向理論，缺乏實際案例和逐步解說，以便理解智慧城市應用中的設施和公共事業優化管理，以及相關的社經層面。

本書專注並討論了地理資訊技術在智慧城市應用管理運營中的作用，以幫助我們的環境變得更智慧。具體而言，本書關注如何利用這些技術進行設施和公共事業的優化管理。本書主要討論了地理資訊建模、地理智慧城市應用、地理資訊技術、資訊系統和計算機科學，以及地理定位和定位技術這五個主要領域。每個主題都深入探討了使用地理資訊技術的應用。其中包括利用地理資訊技術預防犯罪、沿海侵蝕、碳排放建模、山崩模擬、都市農業和其他與該領域相關的應用。本書的目標是全面回顧地理資訊技術在智慧城市各個應用領域取得的成就。它涵蓋了地理資訊技術、地理資訊建模、資訊系統和計算機科學、地理定位和定位技術，以及地理智慧城市應用。

本書對地理資訊科學/工程、建築和城鎮規劃的研究生、大學教師和研究人員非常有用。對於在地方、州和國家層面上進行政策和決策的企業家、專業人士和規劃者也很有用。
