Hi Reid,
Mapping risks, especially health and safety risks is a promising new
domain for both public health, for planning public services, business
locations and logistics, crime prevention, and even automotive safety.
conversely, mapping especially healthy and safe areas might also be
interesting and useful for e.g health tourism, sports and fitness, and
choosing places to live.
If you decide to explore these topics, please let me know. I'm
particularly interested on how this kind of data might be processed,
rendered and used.
Cheers-
Mike

Dear geowankers,
I'm a researcher at the University of Minnesota, and I was hoping some
of you might help point me to background material and related work for
our upcoming geographic wiki paper. We'd like to relate our results as
broadly as possible.
1. We are studying domains which are:
a. geographic
b. changing over time, especially when the geography itself changes
c. the domain supports real activities
d. the activities require planning
For example, such domains might be bicycling (weather,
construction, new roads come and old ones go, navigating a bicycle
requires deciding where to go and how to get there), shopping in a
mall, finding one's way around a new city or neighborhood, or natural
resource management (e.g. monitoring routes and use patterns).
Do you have suggestions for other domains that meet these criteria?
The more unrelated to what I've mentioned already, the better.
2. Any suggestions for important collaborative GIS work that we should
look at?
Many thanks, and please let me know what questions you all have.
Reid
