                      disasters and disaster management being an
                      “inherently spatial” problem, geospatial
                      information and technologies have been widely
                      employed for supporting disaster and crisis
                      management. This includes SDSS and GIS
                      architectures, VGI, spatial databases, spatial-
                      temporal methods, as well as geovisual analytics
                      technologies, which have a great potential to
                      build risk map, estimate damaged areas, define
                      evacuation routes, and plan resource distribution.
                      Collaborative platforms like OSM have been also
                      employed to support disaster management (e.g.,
                      near real-time mapping). Nevertheless, all these
                      geospatial big data pose new challenges for not
                      only geospatial data visualization, but also data
                      modeling and analysis; existing technologies,
                      methodologies, and approaches now have to deal
                      with data shared in various formats, different
                      velocities, and uncertainties. Furthermore, new
                      issues have been also emerging in urban computing
                      and smart cities for making communities more
                      resilient against disasters. In line with this
                      year’s conference theme, the GIS Track
                      particularly welcomes submissions addressing
                      aspects of individual-centric geospatial
                      information in disaster risk and crisis research.
                      This includes SDSS, near-real-time mapping,
                      situational awareness, VGI, spatiotemporal
                      modeling, urban computing, and other related
                      aspects. We seek conceptual, theoretical,
                      technological, methodological, empirical
                      contributions, as well as research papers
                      employing different methodologies, e.g., design-
                      oriented research, case studies, and action
                      research. Solid student contributions are welcome.</span><br
