Abu Raihan Al-Biruni (973 1048) is considered one of the intellectual giants of humankind. He was an astronomer, physicist and geographer, that distinguished himself as linguist and historian too. Here we discuss his major contributions to the mathematical geography of Middle Ages.

The mapping of different aspects of urban phenomena and their relation to the physical cityscape has been greatly extended by the use of geomatics. The tradition to base reasoning on ‘understanding the world’ dates from the time of Aristotle. The extension plan for Barcelona (Eixample), developed by Cerdà, which opened the era of modern urban planning, was preceded by analyses of rich data, des...

The Modifiable Areal Unit Problem (MAUP) is a well-known issue related to the influence of the spatial support on statistical observations. It occurs when different spatial units making different spatial partitions are used and when the resulting measures vary according to those partitions. In this paper, we first draw a state of the art. Considering the particular problem of (up)scaling, we pr...

During the past 20 years, the role of geospatial technology in society has increased dramatically. However, the impact of these technologies in rural areas remains minimal. In Texas, a federally funded project called the Columbia Regional Geospatial Service Center System (the System) has emerged as a model for bringing the benefits of geospatial technology to all portions of society. The model ...
