Intelligent Scene Modelling Information Systems

Remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) are inherently linked technologies. Together, they form a powerful tool to measure, map, monitor and model resources and environmental data for both scientific and commercial applications. Originally published in 1997, this book brought together work by leaders in the field to address improved techniques, applications and research in integrated remote sensing and geographical information systems. Among the topics covered are image rectification, change detection, visualisation, computer modelling, local land use planning, requirements of GIS in global change research, and potential directions for research. Remote sensing and GIS play a key role in studies of water resources, air quality, topography, land cover, and population location and dynamics, and specialists working at the local, regional and global levels will find this book a valuable and stimulating resource.

★本書榮獲國藝會文學類創作和出版補助，是一本探觸自殺與遺族經驗的講演小說，同時也是一場圍繞身分、創傷與悲劇傳統展開的講演式演出，呈現極具實驗精神與創意的邊界書寫。★以歷史戲劇文本為參照框架，在時空之間穿梭往復，擴展個體對生命與死亡的理解視野，進而建構自殺的人文圖像。這是以講演（lecture performance）形式精神所寫成的三幕劇小說，交織著多元的文本，虛實相映：遠古神話的幽影、戲劇作品的迴聲、舞臺演出的評論、榮格心理學的召喚、創傷與自殺相關的研究，以及來自天外的十二封信，由敘事者引領穿梭其中。講演作為藝術表演的形式，源自一九六〇年代的歐美前衛劇場，其「表演性」（performativity）是一種關於身分認同的論述手段，強調過程與實驗性質。小說援引多部經典劇作《蝴蝶夫人》、《伊底帕斯王》、《羅密歐與茱麗葉》、《晚安，媽媽》、《4.48 精神崩潰》與《自殺的解剖》，論證悲劇主角從古典時代的男性英雄，轉向當代女性與自殺者遺族的演變，有歷史的必然性。書中將自殺者遺族比喻成薛西佛斯，在亡者缺席的人間繼續生活，恍如每天推著巨石上山，卻不斷地跌落。敘事者身處當代英國戲劇現場，從劇評人的寶座跌落，他的嘗試自殺，與自殺者遺族的因緣橫跨兩世的生命。多重的身分，隨著情節的發展，與遠古的神話交疊，呼應主角的命運，真實的自我也呼之欲出。第一幕從遠古的神話說起，鋪陳敘事者如何從劇評人的寶座跌落，並在自殺獲救後與自殺者遺族Susan相遇。第二幕描寫他與Susan情感的發展，體會到自殺者與其遺族難分難捨的關係，逐漸走進不堪直視的原初場景（primal scene），再度經歷創傷與精神崩潰的過程。第三幕則呈現他試圖在日常生活中向前行走，卻無意間被捲入前世的一段因緣，終致卡關。這不僅是一部關於自殺與遺族的小說，更是一場以身分、創傷與悲劇傳統為核心的講演式演出；以歷史戲劇文本作為參照，在時空之中穿梭，擴充個體對於生命與死亡的理解，建構對自殺的人文圖像；並在舞臺與書頁之間，辯證我們如何活著，也如何承受失去。

鑑於近年研究指出女性與男性犯罪人存在犯罪之原因、型態與路徑之迥異，以及生理及心理、行為與創傷之不同，刑事司法體系亦無法針對女性之權益與特殊需求適切挹注資源與專業處遇，國際專家學者Bloom、Owen與Covington（2003）等因此倡議性別回應矯正策略與服務（Gender-Responsive Strategy/Service for Female of Fenders），以關注女性在刑事司法體系中的特殊需求、脆弱性和權益。聯合國復於2010年通過曼谷規則，特別強調了基於數據和證據的研究、性別平等與婦女權利相關的培訓和能力建設。後續聯合國於2012年通過刑事司法體系中法律援助取得途徑的原則與準則（Principles and Guidelines on Access to Legal Aid in Criminal Justice Systems）及2014年通過女性與監禁手冊（Handbook on Women and Imprisonment），以強化女性收容人之各項權益。作者長期關注國際犯罪矯治趨勢與發展，已執行多年相關受刑人犯罪行為與處遇需求之性別差異研究計畫與國際期刊發表，本書的撰寫，希冀提升女性受刑人及出監後之矯治處遇服務品質，以減少其再犯，並供犯罪矯正機構同仁及刑事司法與犯罪防治相關機構人員、博碩研究生及致力於改善女性受刑人權益之人士參考。
