Abstract: We developed a GIS-based web-mapping system aimed at providing specialists, stakeholders and population with a simple, yet scientifically rigorous, medium to gain information about air pollution and health risk, over the city of Rome (Italy), combining a geo-spatial visualization with easy access to the time dimension and to quantitative information. The study is part of the EXPAH (Population Exposure to PAHs) LIFE+ EC project, which has the overall goal of identifying and quantifying peoples’ exposure to atmospheric Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the city of Rome, and to assess the impact on human health. The system is completely built on open source tools. Published Online: 2014/06/20 07:52:04 Object Identifier: 0xc1aa5572 0x0030d5b9 Rights:https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/
GIS as a technology has come a long way, from
the early adoption of technical wizardry to the
ubiquitous, if unconscious use by the masses. The
emergence of a GISociety is on its way through
technological development, theoretical and empirical
scientific research and inclusion of technology
into education with increasing pedagogical justification.
Defining new dimensions of hard- and software,
brainware and orgware are all needed to
further enhance the GISociety with new geospatial
innovations.
