ABSTRACT This paper emphasizes the role of cartographic modelling of tourist routes in the Carpathians in the context of the development of tourist mapping. It describes the distinguished features of Transcarpathian and Eastern Carpathian tourist routes as the objects of mapping. These routes are extremely popular among tourists due to their remarkable recreational and touristic value. Tourist map

ABSTRACT 3D cartographic visualization of a continuous time-dependent phenomenon is not an easy task. The focus of this research is motivated by the struggle to visualize such a phenomenon. Based on the current state of the art, we implemented new visualization methods to visualize continuous time-dependent phenomena. All visualizations are based on the use case of road-traffic-generated noise in outdoor

ABSTRACT This research upholds the designer's mediatory role in the representation of places and hand drawing as a privileged tool. Given the current technological capacity for an automatic representation of the territory and landscape, one can question if the hand that draws the map is now anachronistic. The hypothesis of hybridism between the landscape observational drawing and the cartographic code

ABSTRACT Although David Livingstone came to southern Africa in 1840 as a medical missionary, he soon succumbed to the lure of geographical discovery. Between 1849 and his death in 1873 he travelled widely in south-central Africa and managed to irreversibly change the map of this part of the continent. Although much has been written about his character, adventures and travels, little has been said about

ABSTRACT Flood maps group different types of cartographies related to flooding and the components and variables of flood risk and its mitigation measures. This paper analyses the most important facts in the development of flood mapping in Spain and assesses the current. While 60/2007 EU Directive has been an important step for mapping risk, future developments must: (i) overcome the concept of return

ABSTRACT Map generalization is a process of hierarchically reorganizing features whereby the global shape of the original datasets can be transferred in different scales. We propose a stroke and centrality-based method to hierarchically extract the skeleton structures from buildings aiming to support generalization. Firstly, the strokes are generated from refined proximity graph network. Next, by regarding

ABSTRACT Cartographic generalization is a process similar to text summarization that transforms a map when scale is reduced. Cartographic generalization simplifies the map content while preserving as much as possible the initial characteristics and spatial relations of the map. The automation of this process requires a deep understanding of the context of each map feature, which involves different

ABSTRACT The author aims to propose a model digital edition of historic maps using as an example the Gaul/Raczyński map (1807–1812). The digital editions of historic maps elaborated so far vary greatly, from map facsimiles without editorial interference, through georeferenced and mosaicked maps and, finally, to spatial databases. Very rarely they are supplemented with a proper source commentary and

ABSTRACT Modern electronic learning tools are a key component of informatization of education, the goal of which is the information technology proficiency as a competence of a future professional. Among the electronic learning tools for teaching geography and history, interactive cartographic guides play a significant role. Their creation requires the development of methodological approaches to their

ABSTRACT The appearance of late-Soviet military topographic maps was the outcome of a long series of reviews and revisions of preexisting map designs. These generated publicly-available normative documents and teaching manuals. While most topographic maps of Russia have been secret, these detailed supporting documents were openly published for public sale. These documents and manuals are used to describe

ABSTRACT For designing qualitative interfaces for Public Participatory Geographic Information Systems (PPGIS), the user and use case should be clearly defined. However, PPGIS users may differ significantly, e.g. regarding their cultural background, IT-literacy, or interests. Studies examining varying user types and their impact on PPGIS usability are, however, lacking. In this paper, we analyse the

ABSTRACT With the use of maps in different areas, a wide range of users exist who vary in their purposes and needs, according to their education level, age, cognitive level, and so on. Maps used by students in basic education need to be carefully designed and cartographers have important duties and responsibilities in designing maps according to the cognitive development levels of child users.

ABSTRACT Who deserves credit for the map of detailed soundings taken in the James River in the summer of 1617, the foundation for all subsequent navigation in Virginia for the next half century? This essay proposes that the chartmaker is not a pirate, as previously suggested, but one Marmaduke Raynor, a trained and experienced seaman who might have been commissioned by the Virginia Company of London

ABSTRACT The Enlightenment poses a particular problem for map history. The period acquired a special significance as the historical fulcrum in the narrative of the history of cartography. This essay provides an historiographical summary of how the Enlightenment was accorded this significance, how it was called into question with the development of sociocultural approaches to maps and mapping, and how

ABSTRACT This paper examines the relationship between the press and the construction of ‘enlightened’ public knowledge about – and imaginaries for – the emerging south in the period 1760–1777. It analyses the construction, nature, and forms of the putative Great Southern Continent in contemporary British newspapers and magazines, and offers some suggestions for how knowledge from navigators such as

ABSTRACT As argued by Philip Stern, exploration and Enlightenment were mutually influential, suggesting that the charting performed on exploratory voyages is a particularly apt knowledge practice around which to frame an investigation of the validity and depth of the contradictions and challenges of Enlightenment. This paper uses the charting of Tierra del Fuego by George Anson in the 1740s as a case

ABSTRACT This paper describes the survey of the Paracels organized by the British East India Company (EIC) in 1808 in the context of the late Enlightenment. It documents the preparatory work for and execution of the survey to show that it overturned the erroneous representations of the Paracels on maps and charts from the sixteenth to the early nineteenth century. Using new archival material, including

ABSTRACT This paper presents an overview of West and Central European mapping between 1650 and 1800. The period was marked by the emergence of distinctive types of mapping, influenced by the spirit of the Enlightenment, particularly its adoption of consciously scientific methods and reliance on direct observation, the acceptance of geography as an academic discipline and a questioning attitude towards

ABSTRACT Herbert Bayer (1900–1985) created the World Geo-Graphic Atlas (published in 1953) – an influential atlas that followed modernist design principles associated with the Bauhaus. This paper focuses on the modernist exhibition design concepts he refined in his work on this seminal atlas of the twentieth century. The Atlas stands out in its successful expansion of the predominant map-centric atlas

ABSTRACT Dynamic maps are commonly used for the depiction of quantitative information. However, their users often fail to notice changes in the intensity of geographic phenomena. Moreover, if the distribution of colour values between two scenes changes, the user might have a problem with recalling the colour arrangement from the previous scene. A commonly occurring mistake is indicating that the colour

ABSTRACT At a time characterized by the pervasive presence of – and enthusiasm for – maps in everyday life, interest in the cartographic humanities is growing among map scholars who approach cartography through a cultural lens. A mobility and humanities approach helps us move beyond the factual consideration of maps as mobile navigational devices that are used to move from one location to another.

ABSTRACT As maps become more common and popular in the media to illustrate large social and environmental problems such as climate change, cartographers who are given this task are searching for ways to present information to persuade readers to care and take action. Research has shown that simply presenting facts is often not enough for someone to take action to solve these types of socio-environmental

ABSTRACT The goal of this study is to investigate how efficiently and effectively collapsed buildings – due to the occurrence of a disaster – can be localized by a general crowd. Two types of visualization parameters are evaluated in an online user study: (1) greyscale images (indicating height information) versus true colours; (2) variation in the vertical viewing angle (0°, 30° and 60°). Additionally

ABSTRACT In map projection theory, it is usual to utilize numerical quadrature rules to estimate the overall map distortion. However, it is not known which method is the most efficient to approximate this integral. In this paper, overall map distortion is calculated analytically by a computer algebra system. Various integration methods are compared to the exact results. Some calculations are also performed

ABSTRACT Visually impaired people use tactile maps that can be read by the sense of touch or, to a limited extent, with their eyes. This article concerns the methods of assessing tactile maps in terms of their information value. In the research, methods used to assess traditional maps have been adopted to assess tactile maps. Tactile elements of two maps – one developed with the use of traditional

ABSTRACT The process of political and territorial unification of the Kingdom of Italy (1860) and Austria-Hungary (1867) highlighted the issues of territoriality both on land and at sea. As a part of that effort, a need of maritime survey of the Adriatic conducted by the joint forces of the Austro-Hungarian and Italian hydrographic offices appeared. The purpose of this endeavour was to enable the production

ABSTRACT In this work, realistically drawn objects are identified on digital maps by convolutional neural networks. For the first two experiments, 6200 images were retrieved from Pinterest. While alternating image input options, two binary classifiers based on Xception and InceptionResNetV2 were trained to separate maps and pictorial maps. Results showed that the accuracy is 95–97% to distinguish maps

ABSTRACT In this article, I review considerations and techniques for approaching cartographic design as visual storytelling. Stories, like maps, are a method for documenting and explaining, for meaningfully abstracting our experiences, for communicating and sharing, and for asserting a particular worldview. I argue that visual storytelling offers an entry point for hybridization in cartography, uniting

The fragility of our environmental, social and economic systems has never been so obvious, from the floods, fires and other crises associated with global climate change in 2019 to the debilitating impacts of COVID-19 this year. These are a stark reminder of the urgent need to address the UN’s Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs), essentially, a ‘call-to-arms’ to reverse the vulnerability inherent

The increasing prevalence of (open) geospatial data has amplified the demand for online tools to input, manage, and analyse data and generate cartographic outputs. WebGIS platforms are responding to this demand by delivering cost-effective, relatively easy to use compared to desktop GIS software, and increasingly sophisticated tools. The continued advancement of webGIS platforms highlights the necessary

Unlike modern maps, geometric maps lack a coordinate system and contain unsystematic geometric inaccuracies. This paper illuminates four aspects concerning the problem of uniting geographical infor...

ABSTRACT The main goal of this article is to study how people describe emotions related to places and to improve understanding of evocative places, their locations and characteristics as described by the citizens. Evocative places are places that evoke an especially emotional response in terms of images, memories and/or emotions. We aim to contribute to a better understanding of emotions in relation

ABSTRACT Formal specifications of territorial claims over Antarctic regions south of 60° south latitude, the region under the ægis of the Antarctic Treaty made on 1st December 1959, have been significant from their origin, early in the twentieth century, until several of the conundrums they raised went into abeyance after the Treaty came into force in 1961. Nevertheless, the history of such claims

Maps are frequently combined with data displays in the form of coordinated and multiple views (CMV). Although CMV are valuable geovisualization tools, novice users may find them complex and thus re...

ABSTRACT The main aim of this paper is to document the gradual evolution of cadastral maps and associated land books in the area of today’s Austria as well as the more dramatic development of the cadastral system in Galicia (Poland). The continuous development of the Austrian system is compared to the more gradual evolution of the Polish system, the development of which was more complex because of

ABSTRACT In the Sardinian artist’s Maria Lai’s works, Geografie and Geogafie Spaziali, she depicted the cosmic pathways of the Sardus Pater, using a cartographic representation of one of the island’s most popular legends. One of these works’ key features is the use of embroidery techniques learned from women of her village. She considers the Sardinian territory not only an object of representation

Or, more precisely, with a reflection on the two most recent winners of the British Cartographic Society Award that offer a new perspective of Paris (the 3D wooden cartefact by David Kidd; see Issue 56.1) and of London (Streets of Gold, an aureate portrait of the city byWarren Vick and Ewan David Eason; see front cover and Figure 1). The success of

ABSTRACT This article presents a quantitative analysis of fictional maps and their relation to historic maps from different periods. Fictional maps are maps of imaginary territories. This type of map is now common in fiction, but they arose relatively late, in the second half of the nineteenth century, and are considered an independent branch of cartography today. They stand out through the way they

ABSTRACT The project ‘The Norse Perception of the World’ is building a digital infrastructure to facilitate interdisciplinary research on medieval worldviews as recorded in East Norse texts. It does so by collecting spatial material, i.e. attestations of place names and other location-based data from medieval vernacular manuscripts, early prints, and runic inscriptions from fictional, non-biblical
