Advances in Geoinformatics Technologies: Facilities and Utilities Optimization and Management for Smart City Applications
暫譯: 地理資訊科技的進展：智慧城市應用中的設施與公用事業優化與管理

有許多地理資訊系統（GIS）產品可供智慧城市實施智慧城市專案或活動。大多數地理資訊科技及其應用的書籍都是理論性的，缺乏使用真實世界數據的範例和逐步解釋，以便理解智慧城市應用中的設施和公用事業的優化與管理，以及社會經濟方面的內容。

本書專注於討論與地理資訊科技的技術進步如何幫助智慧城市應用的管理運作，以促進我們的環境變得更智慧。具體而言，本書重點在於這些進步如何幫助優化和管理設施及公用事業。本書的五個主要討論領域包括地理資訊建模、智慧城市應用、地理資訊技術、資訊系統與計算機科學，以及地理定位與定位技術。這些主要主題中的每一個都深入探討了使用地理資訊科技的應用。內容涵蓋了地理資訊科技在犯罪預防、海岸侵蝕、碳排放建模、山崩建模、城市農業以及與該領域相關的各種其他應用中的使用。本書的目標是提供對地理資訊在多個智慧城市應用領域所取得成就的全面回顧。它涵蓋了地理資訊技術、地理資訊建模、資訊系統與計算機科學、地理定位與定位技術，以及智慧城市應用。

本書將對研究生、大學教職員以及地理資訊科學/工程、建築和城市規劃的研究人員有所幫助。對於地方、州和國家層級的政策與決策制定者、專業人士和規劃者來說，本書也將是有用的資源。
