The 1st Supergeo Young Application
Award ceremony was successfully held on February 26, 2013, with winners honored
in Taipei. The application contest aims to help students encourage the creations
and uses of SuperGIS software in different research fields.
This year’s top 3 Young Application Award recipients included Huang
Rai De and Chen Yi Chun (Chien Hsin University of Science and Technology), Yan
Chi Feng (National Taiwan Normal University), Chang Yu Chun (Providence
University), who developed practical approaches to the problems in the
applications of tourism development, emergency preparedness and response,
land-use planning, etc.
The best project demonstrates how the city halls in Taoyuan, Taiwan
benefit from high-quality maps that are used to visualize critical
vulnerabilities and damage consequences. Launched by the local government, the
project helps the inhabitant increase the awareness of environmental risks,
understand the potential disasters in the living environment, and better mitigate
a disaster or emergency situation.
In addition, the winning recipients were also invited to give
the presentations at the ceremony, which offered an opportunity to facilitate
communication among GIS learners, educators, and general users. Supergeo will
continue to hold the application contests for students to come out with new
ideas and share their most innovative GIS projects using SuperGIS software.
