Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The advancement in computer hardware and software are extending the capabilities of GIS as a tool in analysis and visualization of indoor environment. Developing methods to describe the location inside building or defining the navigable space for pedestrian is of great importance. Moreover, providing a proper description for the position of utilities such as water network element or electrical network inside building is needed for maintenance or replacement, or to investigate the result of damage to the building structure on another utility network, or to estimate the effect of different maintenance operations in different locations along utilities service systems. Contemporary cartography provide techniques to represent landscape and treat building as black boxes.
This Special Issue is dedicated to explore current trends with regards to the technological, methodological, conceptual and social dimensions of indoor mapping. We call for original papers from researchers around the world, which focus on all topics involving the positing and mapping of the indoor environment.
