Geo-cybernetics: A New Avenue of Research in Geomatics?

摘要: AbstractThe term “geomatics” has existed in the literature for more than a decade, but an overall consensus on definition of this emerging discipline not yet been found. The knowledge domain geomatics developed “interaction space” among converging disciplines (e.g., geographic information systems, cartography, remote sensing, geodesy, and photogrammetry), its borders are “complex fuzzy.” Taking cybernetics, both classic second order, general systems theory, modelling, complexity as basic building blocks, research group at CentroGeo is conducting empirical theoretical work three main avenues research: (1) cybercartography, (2) complex solutions geomatics, (3) collective mental maps. Recent results cybercartography have indicated value comprehensive framework that would combine essence these body add to base geomatics. This article discu...
