This book provides a comprehensive introduction of web map services including online map design principles, theories of cybercartography, various real-world mapping applications, and the related Web GIS technologies. The goal of this book is to provide a practical learning guide to cartographic graduate students and GIS/Cartography professionals who are interested in developing web mapping applications. Recent developments of network-based cybercartography has created a strong interest and academic research emphasis in the area of web mapping. This book provides a systematic overview and step-by-step training modules for GIS/Cartography professionals.

This book discusses theoretical backgrounds, techniques and methodologies, and applications of the current state-of-the-art human dynamics research utilizing social media and geospatial big data. It describes various forms of social media and big data with location information, theory development, data collection and management techniques, and analytical methodologies to conduct human dynamics research including geographic information systems (GIS), spatiotemporal data analytics, text mining and semantic analysis, machine learning, trajectory data analysis, and geovisualization. The book also covers applied interdisciplinary research examples ranging from disaster management, public health, urban geography, and spatiotemporal information diffusion. By providing theoretical foundations, solid empirical research backgrounds, techniques, and methodologies as well as application examples from diverse interdisciplinary fields, this book will be a valuable resource to students, researchers and practitioners who utilize or plan to employ social media and big data in their work.
