Position magazine has announced that the upcoming October/November issue will explore how niche spatial technologies are now empowering diverse applications that benefit the mainstream. Crowdsourcing, the internet of things, mobile mapping, last-mile logistics, open data and spatially–enabled governments are all growing the public’s appetite for services that include an added spatial dimension.
Issue 85 will therefore focus on new developments in these areas, including the latest from research bodies, educational institutions and private industry professionals. Crowdsourcing and citizen science for instance are allowing initiatives like Wildlife Spotter and Tomnod to harness the public’s renewed interest in science and technology and achieve otherwise unattainable outcomes.
You can also expect to learn about some of Australasia’s biggest infrastructure projects, which are now using building information modelling (BIM) and a range of new surveying technologies to generate efficiencies across the entire ACE spectrum.
New Zealand will also come into focus in this issue for its strong commitment to innovation. For a small country, New Zealand can lay claim to some impressive spatial feats. As proven at May’s FIG working Week, Christchurch’s recovery from the 2011 Earthquake have important lessons to teach the world about recovery from disaster, spatial data infrastructure and data preparedness.
Find out about this and a whole lot more in the next Position.
