Martin Raubal gave a talk titled “Towards Behaviorally Informed GeoAI for Spatial Decision-Making” at Münster. The presentation focused on the growing role of GeoAI and geospatial foundation models in spatial research and applications, while emphasizing that these approaches often pay limited attention to human behavior. It showed how neglecting cognition, habits, and biases can lead to misleading analyses and predictions that do not fully reflect lived human experiences.
Using examples from active mobility and aviation training, the talk demonstrated how behavioral insights can be incorporated into GeoAI to support more realistic and human-centered spatial decision-making for sustainability.
