Abstract:
Compact settlement structures, an economically operated public transport system and a sufficient provision with basic supply are often considered as a major goal in regional planning leading to a sustainable settlement development. On the other hand living in single-family houses, lower costs of building land and the general wish of living in the green countryside are some driving forces for people to move to the outskirts of bigger cities, or to rural areas. These facts counteract the above mentioned goals in regional planning and also lead to high expenses for households concerning living and mobility in the long-term (this includes monetary costs as well as time expenses, travel distances, and CO2 emissions) and high infrastructure costs. In this article, based on results of the Alpine Space project MORECO (Mobility and Residential Costs), the authors present a thorough GIS-based regional analysis of a research area in Salzburg, tackling the topics of demographic and settlement development, mobility, and travel behaviour. In order to point out long-term effects and follow-up costs at individual residential locations, an approach of a settlement cost calculator for mobility and accessibility calculations in the Salzburg pilot region is also presented in this paper.

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 creation
of the 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
develop the GISociety.
The Geoinformatics Forum (www.gi-forum.org)
held in Salzburg from July 2-5, 2013, links into these
research areas. We are pleased to present work
by researchers who actively contribute to the creation
of the GISociety in theoretical, technical, and
educational terms. This reflects that a GISociety can
only be created though close interaction among
the domains of science, technology and education.
Topics of the 2013 proceedings therefore include:
• Advances in Geographic Information Science
and Geographic Information Technology
• Spatial Citizenship
• Education for Digital Earth
• Ecosystem and Biodiversity Monitoring:
Best Practice in Europe and Globally (EO4Hab)
The book is aimed at researchers and practioners in
the field geoinformation with an academic, industrial
or educational background.
