About the Book

Quantifying the social and economic value that geospatial information contributes to modern society is a complex task. To construct reliable and consistent valuation measures requires an understanding of the sequence of processes that starts with data acquisition, and leads to decision-makers’ choices that impact society. GEOValue explores each step in this complex value chain from the viewpoint of domain experts spanning disciplines that range from the technical side of data acquisition and management to the social sciences that provide the framework to assess the benefit to society. The book is intended to provide foundational understanding of the techniques and complexities of each step in the process. As such it is intended to be assessable to a reader without prior training in data acquisition systems, information systems, or valuation methods. In addition, a number of case studies are provided that demonstrate the use of geospatial information as a critical input for evaluation of policy pertaining to a wide range of application areas, such as agricultural and environmental policy, natural catastrophes, e-government and transportation systems.

Review :
"This volume is a multidisciplinary effort to illustrate the value of earth observations in anticipating and responding to extremes, abrupt changes and cumulative impacts across multiple sectors. It draws on quantitative and qualitative analyses of valuation and decision making to illustrate both the theoretical benefits of Earth Observations and the benefits that can be realized in non-idealized settings. As the field matures, the evidence-based approaches and advances outlined in these chapters should serve as a long-standing reference and guide for researchers and professionals in both the public and private spheres." — Roger S. Pulwarty, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Boulder, Colorado, USA
