However, while tremendous advances have been achieved in many settings, the use of maps by indigenous peoples is very uneven. Here we present the case of a team of university researchers, indigenous students, and local investigators who used a participatory approach to map cultural landscapes and mature forest cover in the Comarca Ngäbe-Buglé of Panama. This article examines the success and limitations of efforts to empower indigenous people in the region to use mapping tools for conservation and resource management. The project, while it provides a useful example of how to build a participatory research team to produce maps that better reflect indigenous points of view, fell short of empowering indigenous authorities to use geographic tools to manage their territories. This is due mainly to the lack of administrative capacity needed to make use of geospatial information. We argue that cartographers involved in participatory projects, while typically attentive to the problems of marginalization, need to pay more attention to the broader socioeconomic contexts of their work and to redouble their efforts to respond to the challenges of the digital divide, which is a symptom of broader socioeconomic and political inequalities stemming from the legacies of colonialism.

An evaluation of a visual analytics prototype for calendar-related spatiotemporal periodicity detection and analysis / Brian Swedberg in Cartographica, vol 52 n° 1 (Spring 2017)  

Public [article]  inCartographica > vol 52 n° 1 (Spring 2017) . - pp 63 - 79 Titre : An evaluation of a visual analytics prototype for calendar-related spatiotemporal periodicity detection and analysis Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Brian Swedberg, Auteur ; Donna J. Peuquet, Auteur Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : pp 63 - 79 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] analyse géovisuelle [Termes IGN] analyse spatio-temporelle [Termes IGN] application web [Termes IGN] calendrier [Termes IGN] convivialité [Termes IGN] échelle de temps [Termes IGN] échelle géographique [Termes IGN] prototype [Vedettes matières IGN] Géovisualisation Résumé : (Auteur) Whether it is sunrise, the weekend, or Christmas, some form of temporal structure or periodic pattern governs our daily activities. Understanding them is essential to making sense of human activity, because they frame normality and allow us to identify abnormalities. However, cultural heterogeneity and scale greatly complicate our ability to uncover and understand human activity at a given time within a region. Current research in the field of visual analytics and geography provide methods of addressing spatiotemporal periodicity, but they fall short in providing access to multiple spatial and temporal scales via a relevant calendar. In response to these shortcomings, we developed PerSE (periodicity in spatiotemporal events), a coordinated-view Web application designed to aid users in the detection and analysis of calendar-related periodicity in spatiotemporal event data sets. Given the complexity of such a visualization tool, this paper focuses on the usability and learnability of PerSE. We evaluated the tool through a 20-participant study that consisted of training, a multiple-choice test, and the System Usability Scale. Our analysis of the results shows that the complex combination of visual tools and multi-scale, multi-calendar capability used within PerSE is effective, but still in need of usability improvements.

Where is it (in the map) ? recall and recognition of spatial information / Anne-Kathrin Bestgen in Cartographica, vol 52 n° 1 (Spring 2017)  

Public [article]  inCartographica > vol 52 n° 1 (Spring 2017) . - pp 80 - 97 Titre : Where is it (in the map) ? recall and recognition of spatial information Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Anne-Kathrin Bestgen, Auteur ; Dennis Edler, Auteur ; Christina Müller, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : pp 80 - 97 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] cognition [Termes IGN] géovisualisation [Termes IGN] lecture de carte [Termes IGN] mémoire [Termes IGN] niveau de détail [Termes IGN] rendu (géovisualisation) [Termes IGN] style cartographique [Termes IGN] test de performance [Vedettes matières IGN] Cartologie Résumé : (Auteur) Findings of empirical studies of spatial memory using maps are direct responses to the successful transfer and processing of map information. The memory performance of map users is an important indication of the quality of a map design. Studies of spatial memory have mainly relied on recall performances, but maps can be used in various ways depending on the map user's task and applied strategy. Therefore, one memory paradigm does not cover the entire spectrum of options for examining the retrieval of map information. Three different experiments were designed to analyze and compare memory performances using different map information in recall and recognition (combining episodic and semantic memory) paradigms. The results demonstrate that map complexity, as varied by the amount of displayed map detail, contributes significantly to memory performance. Moreover, memory enhancement affected by map-structuring elements (grids) depends on the respective paradigm and also on the visual appearance of the structuring elements. Both paradigms for examining the influence of map information on cognitive processing can be applied specifically to analyze the efficiency of map designs. On the basis of the different effects of map information, a reasoned application of these paradigms to test map designs is indispensable.
