Tackling environmental and social issues using geographic information.
Information and Communication Technology (Saitama University Research Seed Collection 2025-27 p.87)
Keywords: Geographic Information Science, Geocomputation, Remote Sensing, Earth Observation, AI
In today's world, where information with location coordinates is explosively increasing, a wide variety of geographic information is generated daily. The utilization of this information is being sought in both academic and business contexts. Traditionally, geographic information has been centrally managed and utilized through Geographic Information Systems (GIS), but a challenge with such systems is their difficulty in handling big data. Therefore, through an informatics approach called geocomputation and GeoAI, which combines AI, we are working on efficiently analyzing geographic information big data to address various social and environmental issues.
