Objectives:

To produce a white paper of scientific reference for the research issue;
To create a critical mass in the area of geographical modelling to be applied in urban studies and spatial planning;
To identify and measure urban sprawl, sustainable urban forms and morphologies, pixel by pixel and to analyse object oriented images;
To develop an approach based in a multi-agent system for the study of spatial epidemics through GIS;
To develop typologies based on the characteristics of beaches aiming at the study of spatial planning proposals;
To develop methodologies for analyses in WEBSIG and of public participation related to the Geography of the Information Society.
