ìWhy is Spatial Special?î

Authors: Ian Williamson - University of Melbourne & Brian Lees - ANU

What is spatial information? How does it assist in better decision-making? In attempting to answer this question Ian Williamson will bring a land and urban environmental perspective, while Brian Lees will provide a GIS and physical environmental perspective. The concept of space and geography will be explored from an historical perspective, explaining its role as fundamental to civilization. The role of spatial information will then be discussed as an enabling infrastructure to better manage our cities and the rural environment in an information society.
