Bridging Global Language Models and Local Spatial Data

Large Language Models (LLMs) excel at synthesising globally documented knowledge but lack the fine-grained, real-time awareness required for field-level agricultural and rural-planning decisions. This paper introduces JackDaw, a spatially enabled chat-agent architecture that couples foundation-model reasoning with multi-modal geospatial data streams and a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipeline. JackDaw implements a tool-prefiltering mechanism that selects only those data connectors whose topical, temporal and spatial metadata match the current query, thereby mitigating the diminishing returns observed when LLMs are exposed to large, flat toolsets. Through LangChain-based orchestration the platform dynamically assembles workflows that range from lightweight natural-language processing models to domain-specific analytic kernels, while a value-engineering strategy allocates computationally intensive models (e.g., GPT-4-class) only to tasks that require broad contextual reasoning. Benchmark experiments on forestry-asset discovery and vineyard-site assessment demonstrate that JackDaw delivers location-specific, traceable answers that outperform a standalone proprietary LLM, which provides only generic or spatially misattributed responses. The results confirm that bridging global language models with local spatial intelligence markedly reduces hallucination rates and enhances the operational readiness of AI for sustainable agriculture and rural development. Index Terms—Large language models; geospatial AI; retrieval-augmented generation; context-aware agriculture; spatial decision support; tool prefiltering; JackDaw system; rural planning.

LLM Agentic Geospatial Tool Use

This tool is designed to merge the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) with spatial predictors and an agentic approach to enhance geospatial decision-making. While LLMs excel at generating human-like responses, they sometimes struggle with domain-specific or complex tasks. To address this, the tool uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), allowing LLMs to retrieve specific context from specialized data sources like geospatial information.

OpenStreetMap as the Data Source for Territorial Innovation Potential Assessment

Abstract: This study explores a methodology for assessing territorial innovation potential using OpenStreetMap (OSM) data and geoinformation technologies. Traditional assessment methods often rely on aggregated statistical data, which provide a generalized view but overlook the spatial heterogeneity within regions. To address this limitation, the proposed methodology utilizes open, up-to-date OSM data to identify key infrastructure elements, such as universities, research institutions, and data centers, which drive regional innova- tion. The methodology includes data extraction, harmonization, and spatial analysis using tools like QGIS and kernel density estimation. Results from the PoliRuralPlus project pilot regions highlight significant differences in innovation potential between urban centers and rural areas, emphasizing the importance of detailed spatial data in policy making and regional development planning. The study concludes that OSM-based assessments provide spatially detailed targeted, flexible, and replicable insights into regional innovation potential compared to traditional methods. However, the limitations of crowdsourced data, such as variability in quality and completeness, are acknowledged. Future devel- opments aim to integrate OSM with official statistical data and other data resources to support more efficient and fair resource allocation and strategic investments in regional innovation ecosystems.

People–Place Bond: Mallusjoki and the bond between people and place

What makes a place feel like home? This short documentary explores the deep bond between people and the places they inhabit through the story of Mallusjoki, a rural village in Finland. The video follows the themes of place attachment (PAT) and people–place bond, central to the European project PoliRuralPlus. Mallusjoki shows how community, culture, everyday life, intergenerational stories and changing local environments shape territorial identity. Through shared activities, local memories, traditions, and new digital tools, residents take part in building a future where rural and urban life connect more closely. PoliRuralPlus strengthens participation, inclusiveness and social cohesion by helping communities influence how their surroundings evolve. In Mallusjoki, this means creating meaningful meeting places, supporting well-being, and nurturing the bond between people and their environment. This video is part of the Finnish pilot developing new approaches to rural vitality, community resilience and sustainable development. 🔗 More about PoliRuralPlus: https://www.poliruralplus.eu/ Mallusjoki pilot: https://www.poliruralplus.eu/pilots/rural-pilots/Finland/
