Since the establishment of the program in 1999, the Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA) program of Anhalt University of Applied Scinces has organized several international seminars on the use of new technologies in the area of environmental planning and design. These proceedings contain the main contributions of the seminar "GIS TRENDS IN ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING: INTERNET GIS AND WEB-MAPPING, MOBILE- AND VIRTUAL GIS" being held on May 2 and 3, 2002 in Bernburg.

We have also included some additional articles of speakers of the international seminar "VIRTUALITY IN LANDCAPE ARCHITECTURE", held earlier by the MLA program.

These proceedings therefore address a wide spectrum of the trends in GIS and VIRTUALIZATION in the year 2002. They will give everyone involved in the "building process"; the environmental planner, the architect, the geographer, the civil engineer and the surveyor a clear picture off what is coming up in terms of new technologies in planning and design.


Following the focus of the two seminars, the proceedings cover the trends in following areas:

- GEOINFORMATION SOCIETY
- INTERNET GIS and WEB-MAPPING
- MOBILE-GIS
- VIRTUAL GIS
- VIRTUALIZATION in LANDCAPE DESIGN
- TECHNICAL TRENDS in GIScience
