The article presents results about Geodesign studies of the Iron Quadrangle (Quadrilátero Ferrífero – QF) that are under development since 2016, based on economic, environmental, and social approaches, with the goal to promote cultural landscape planning based on shared process, giving support to collective and individual opinion making. This paper has the goal do present the Brazilian Geodesign platform, called “GISColab”, that was first tested in QF case study. The QF area is characterized by conflicts of interests due to mining activities, urban growth, cultural heritage landscapes and the presence of areas of environmental protection. QF is especially important as part of the economic structure of the state of Minas Gerais (Brazil) but became globally known due to a couple of environmental disasters that caused the death of almost 300 people. In the first studies we used Steinitz´s framework (2012), but some difficulties in the process were observed, what led to the proposal of a new platform and framework, more adapted to inequalities related to access and use of information, so that people could really act as participants of all the steps. The new web-platform is based on Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI), which receives a considerable amount of data and is open to receive further information via Web Map Service (WMS), which guarantees the users will construct, by themselves, judgments about these areas. It presents a shared process of decision making by digital dialogues, as by voting based on Delphi method. The platform and process are based on geovisualization, interoperability and the co-creation of ideas based on geo-collaboration.

This paper addresses the need to develop a Local Geospatial Data Infrastructure (LGDI) for sustainable urban development. This research will highlight the effective and efficient framework for the development of local infrastructure. This paper presents a framework (a combination of domain based and goal based frameworks) for developing a Local Geospatial Data Infrastructure. The basis of this research is on a case study conducted in a Malaysian city. The main focus of the case study was on measuring and assessing sustainability. Six conceptual frameworks were produced based on 6 key dimensions of sustainability. The developed framework consists of 6 conceptual data models and 6 conceptual data structures. It was concluded that 30 spatial data layers are needed of which 12 data layers are categorized as point shape, 17 data layers are categorized as polygon shape and 1 data layer as line shape category.

This chapter describes the development and implementation of an operational method for integrating expert and local knowledge with new technologies for geographic mapping and communications, to enhance cultural landscape analysis and planning. Topics include the following aspects: a) analysis of type(s) of information required to construct a geographic information system (GIS), with the landscape as a common objective; b) method of implementing and integrating various types of expert knowledge in the GIS; c) method of collecting, organizing, and structuring local knowledge in the GIS; d) method of integrating expert with local knowledge; e) exploration of GIS functions. The main aim of this work is to examine the possibility of using participatory mapping methods and GIS for comparison and integration of multidisciplinary scientific expertise, local knowledge, and landscape project proposals. In particular, it involves specific methods for enhancing local features of vineyard landscapes through a participatory process developed with both vineyard entrepreneurs and the local population. The case study concerns the wine-growing area of Umbria, a region of central Italy.

The purpose of research to determine and contribute in more efficient services to geoinformation stakeholders, as well as to give positive impact on increasing income in geo business sector, voluntary based web system for online usage of geoinformation in Kosovo has been developed. The method used was puting in to one place many sourcec via WMS and WFS services, by creating thematic SDI, in order to have online system with dynamic data comming from official databases with update from last day on 5 pm. System is open for usage by all interested parts, however official registration is required. It contains geoinformation from many databases such as cadastral, orthophoto, municipal, and basemaps from open layers. The results show that the system is extendable and it is permanently including new datasets based on the user requirements. All available data is linked via web services, which gives an opportunity to users to use the updated version of datasets as they are published by responsible institution via www (world wide web).

The transformation behavior between iron oxides and oxyhydroxides like magnetite, hematite and goethite is still not entirely understood. Crystallographic similarities allow one to predict topotactic relationships between them. The related crystallographic aspects have been explored by means of electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). Samples from natural aggregates of magnetite, hematite and goethite were collected from iron-formation rocks that outcrop in the southeast of Brazil, in a region known for large deposits of iron and other ores. EBSD misorientation data indicate a pronounced relationship between these iron phases. The transformation seems to be related to the oxygen framework. The original close-packed cubic arrangement of O atoms in magnetite changes to a hexagonal close-packed framework in hematite, i.e. {111} of magnetite is parallel to {0001} of hematite. The matrix in which the magnetite grains are embedded is made of aggregates of hematite and goethite. In the matrix, the coincidence observed in the magnetite grains is not observed. On the other hand, the well known twin boundary relationships already described for these mineral phases can be observed here as an orientation relationship in three-dimensional misorientation space. The spatial data of axis–angle pairs suggest that the twin boundaries serve as facilitating surfaces for phase transformation in the Fe–O–OH system. The main conclusion of this study is that the transformation occurred in the solid state with the newly transformed goethite inheriting the crystallographic orientations of the former crystals and that this phenomenon is better recognized by combining observations of misorientation relationships. In the matrix, such a relation is not observed and, for that reason, the minerals in the matrix are thought to have been formed by a different process, which might have involved dissolution and precipitation of the phase newly out of solution.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Collaborative custodianship refers to an arrangement where a number of custodians work together to produce integrated datasets for a spatial data infrastructure (SDI), e.g. local authorities contributing address or street data to a national SDI dataset. Collaborative cloud mapping allows for ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand, configured and tailor-made mapping with resources shared between various entities collaborating on a specific initiative, such as an SDI or for disaster management. This paper presents the results of a workshop in South Africa during which case studies from the Netherlands, Belgium and Austria of collaborative custodianship of address data were presented, and OpenStreetMap as a case study of collaborative cloud mapping. Subsequently, challenges and opportunities for implementing similar initiatives in the context of the South African SDI were debated in break-away sessions. The results from these sessions were analysed using the PESTEL framework.</p>
