GSCG 2014 - The International Conference on Geo-simulation and Crime Geography

The International Conference on Geo-simulation and Crime Geography
2014.7.3-2014.7.5
Guangzhou, Guangdong, China

Process-based geo-simulation integrating both physical and human elements is gaining momentum in Geographic Information Science. Through the near realistic representation of the real world, geo-simulation can provide scientific decision-making support for risk assessment and emergency response.
Crime geography has been contributing greatly to the societal security and social harmony. It aims to understand and prevent crime from a geographic perspective, which focuses on spatial patterns and spatial processes of crime and related factors. Nowadays, with the explosion of geo-referenced data and rapid development of GIS technologies, crime geography research meets both opportunities and challenges. Nevertheless, it is highly expected to play a much more active role in future crime prevention, especially in the fields of spatial-temporal prediction of crime events, comprehensive evaluation of police operations, and virtual examination of crime theories.
To encourage international communication and collaboration from both academics and practitioners, “The International Conference on Geo-Simulation and Crime Geography " will be held during July 3-5, 2014 in Guangzhou, China. This conference will provide an excellent opportunity for exchanging innovative ideas, demonstrating cutting-edge technologies, and presenting inspiring applications.
