Integrating Geospatial Perspectives and Education in Archaeology
نویسنده
چکیده
Session Abstract Many scholars, professionals, and students have begun to employ geospatial analysis in their research; however, the teaching of geospatial thinking is still in its formative stages. Archaeologists deal with information that is inherently spatial in nature; thus, archaeology provides an ideal setting to develop spatial thinking. This symposium focuses on geospatially related topics including instructional tools, spatial methodologies, and teaching philosophies as they relate to integrating geospatial perspectives in archaeology and the broader discipline of anthropology. The session’s goals and objectives were developed, in part, from collaborative efforts with the Center for Spatially Integrated Social Science (CSISS) SPACE Program.

Integrating Free and Open Source Solutions into Geospatial Science Education
While free and open source software becomes increasingly important in geospatial research and industry, open science perspectives are generally less reflected in universities’ educational programs. We present an example of how free and open source software can be incorporated into geospatial education to promote open and reproducible science. Since 2008 graduate students at North Carolina State...

The purpose of Multi-modal Multi-criteria Personalized Route Planning (MMPRP) is to provide an optimal route between an origin-destination pair by considering weights of effective criteria in a way this route can be a combination of public and private modes of transportation. In this paper, the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (fuzzy AHP) and the quantifier-guided ordered weighted averaging (...
متن کاملTracing Conceptual and Geospatial Diffusion of Knowledge
Understanding the dynamics of knowledge diffusion has profound theoretical and practical implications across a wide variety of domains, ranging from scientific disciplines to education and understanding emergent social phenomena. On the other hand, it involves many challenging issues due to the inherited complexity of knowledge diffusion. In this article, we describe a unifying framework that i...
