“Thematic Cartography for the Society” is prepared on the basis of the best 30 papers presented at the 5th International Conference on Cartography and GIS held in Albena, Bulgaria in 2014. The aim of the conference is to register new knowledge and shape experiences about the latest achievements in cartography and GIS worldwide. At the same time, the focus is on the important European region - the Balkan Peninsula. The following topics are covered:User-friendly Internet and Web Cartography; User-oriented Map Design and Production; Context-oriented Cartographic Visualization; Map Interfaces for Volunteered Geographic Information; Sensing Technologies and their Integration with Maps; Cartography in Education. focus on user-oriented cartographic approaches.

Three-dimensional (3D) geoinformation has been the subject within geoinformation (GIS) community and other related professionals since early 90's. Recently the subject is getting more attention when users de­ mand better information of the phenomena and of the surrounding objects. A lot of efforts and time have been invested for this kind of 3D geoinfor­ mation solution but operationally such system is still hardly available in mass market. For this reason the Department of Geoinformatics, Faculty of Geoin­ formation Science and Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia took the initiative to organize the first International Workshop on 3D Geoin­ formation held in South East Asia, held on 7-8 August, 2006, Kuala Lum­ pur, Malaysia. The workshop has covered fundamental aspects of 3D geoinformation as well as 3D data collection (LIDAR and other means), 3D spatial data modeling, 3D databases, 3D spatial analysis, 3D visualiza­ tion, and some applications in 3D geoinformation. This workshop has gathered researchers, system developers, practitio­ ners, and end users from 21 countries, coming from 5 different continents. They have the great opportunity to discuss new research development, ideas, theories, and possible applications in this very specialized but fast emerging field.

Cartography and geographic information (GI) are remarkably appropriate for the requirements of early warning (EW) and crisis management (CM). The use of geospatial technology has increased tremendously in the last years. ICT has changed from just using maps created in advance, to new approaches, allowing individuals (decision-makers) to use cartography interactively, on the basis of individual user's requirements. The new generation of cartographic visualizations based on standardisation, formal modelling, use of sensors, semantics and ontology, allows for the better adaptation of information to the needs of the users. In order to design a new framework in pre-disaster and disaster management safety/security/privacy aspects of institutions and citizens need to be considered. All this can only be achieved by demonstrating new research achievements, sharing best practices (e.g. in the health area) and working towards the wider acceptance of geospatial technology in society, with the help of education and media. This book will outline research frontiers and applications of cartography and GI in EW and CM and document their roles and potentials in wider processes going on in information/knowledge-based societies.
