Subject: [Geo4All] Welcome to a new Lab LADEST at University of Siena


Dear All
We are very glad to announce a new Lab of GeoForAll network at University of Siena (Italy).
Welcome dear colleagues!
Best regards.
Maria and Peter

LADEST is the Laboratory of economic, social and geographical research of the University of Siena, based in the Department of Political and Cognitive Sciences. The laboratory was established in 2008 and specialises in a range of activities and techniques including:

  *   Data collection and spatial analysis
  *   Geographical Information Science
  *   Territorial data mapping
  *   Agent-based spatial modelling
  *   Socio economic analysis

Tools and datasets developed by the Laboratory are used both for scientific purposes and for private sector companies and agencies and are applied to several different domains. We employ mainstream GIS tools as well as applications developed in house (Flikrsearch, Kowalski, TEA-TouristExperienceApplication). The laboratory supports the development and usage of open data and open source tools through education, research and teaching, as well as organizing workshops and events on specific topics and tools.
The current research focus is on volunteered geographic information, citizen science and crowdsourcing, territorial marketing, social media for institutions and environmental monitoring, agent based simulation of residential mobility, housing markets, and urban dynamics, sustainable development and local development, organic agriculture, landscape.

On going research (Master thesis)
Food transition in the Mediterranean area
Disneyfication of art cities
