<span lang="EN-GB" style="">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. </span><span lang="EN-US"></span><span lang="EN-GB" style=""></span><br>
<span lang="EN-GB" style="">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.</span><span lang="EN-US"></span><span lang="EN-US" style=""></span><br>
