A Web-based application using story mapping technology is here presented to show the historical importance of Metaxa Mine, known also as Mavormatis mine. This mine is characterized by the presence of several key outcrops where the pumice layers of the Late Bronze Age (Minoan) eruption are very well exposed. We made up a tailored story map that combines maps, narrative texts, multimedia content and a brand-new 3D model. Its purpose is to highlight the visualisation and the exploitation of Metaxa Mine as a unique “geotope” of Santorini volcano, to enable users to interact with data and maps, texts and images, and to inform academic and non-academic audience about the historical and volcanological aspects of this geological site. The spatial and geological data of this story map involve thematic maps entirely created by a Geographic Information System.","PeriodicalId":175303,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Geographical Information Systems Theory, Applications and Management","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122927023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accordingly, the conceptualization and assessment of livability have various challenges, ranging from the subjectivity of the dwellers’ needs to the dynamics of urban life. The first part of the paper briefly introduces these challenges and the key elements in the concept of urban livability. As a follow-up, the rest of the paper provides potential approaches to grasp the complexity of urban quality and to handle the challenges of livability assessment. GIS has a significant role in each of these approaches, thereby the paper concludes with an evaluation of the advantages and relevance of GIS-based livability assessment. Overall, the current summary supports the hypothesis that GIS-based livability assessment implies more than a practical tool, by providing a general approach to understand and assess livability in a transferable way. Thereby livability assessment is appropriate to support urban planners in the improvement of urban quality, as well.","PeriodicalId":175303,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Geographical Information Systems Theory, Applications and Management","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114146502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
