March 11 marked the day of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan that caused thousands of fatalities and the nuclear disaster in Fukushima. On the same day, two years ago, the World Health Organisation (WHO) announced that COVID-19 could be characterized as a pandemic. These two crises are emblematic of how natural hazards and related disasters continue to pose a major threat to societies.

PLACE-BASED DIGITAL EXPERIENCES
In the past decades, we have witnessed great changes in the tourism industry as an effect of the general digitalisation process. Tourism actors are now online, which changes the conditions for how the industry communicates with visitors, how marketing, itineraries and bookings take place, and not least how visitors experience the destination.
Human geography research has been conducted at Karlstad University for the past 40 years, initially focusing on issues of local and regional development, tourism and landscape studies. As the subject and its research have grown, new research directions and themes have emerged alongside the already established ones.

The design of public space requires a deep understanding of the way large numbers of people move. Of particular importance are their dynamical interactions and the resulting collective behaviour. This is a key issue not only in designing e.g. railway stations, airports, but also in ensuring the safety of crowds at large public events.
However, the modelling and computation of such groups of people is still in its infancy.
