With the increasing proliferation of data and the systematization of geographic information referencing, maps are now a major concern - not only for specialists, but also for urban planning and development organizations and the general public. However, while producing a map may seem straightforward, the actual process of transforming data into a useful map with a specific purpose is characterized by a series of precise operations that require knowledge in a variety of fields: statistics, geography, cartography and so on. Handling and Mapping Geographic Information presents a wide range of operations based on a variety of examples. Each chapter adopts a different approach, explaining the methodological choices made in relation to the theme and the pursued objective. This approach, encompassing the entire map production process, will enable all readers, whether students, researchers, teachers or planners, to understand the multiple roles that maps can play in the analysis of geographical data.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
Claire Cunty is a lecturer and researcher in geography at the Université Lumière Lyon 2, France, and a member of the Environnement Ville Société research unit. Her research focuses on the design and use of geovisualization interfaces for spatiotemporal information and on digital approaches to sensitive maps. She is also part of the supervisory team for the Master's program in Digital Geographies at Lyon 2 and SaintEtienne Universities. Hélène Mathian is a CNRS engineer in spatial analysis methods at the Environnement Ville Société research unit, France. Her work integrates the spatial dimension into statistical processing and models, and uses geovisualization as a means of exploring geographic data and spatial dynamics. She is also part of the supervisory team for the Master's program in Digital Geographies at Lyon 2 and Saint-Etienne Universities.
