Specifically, we describe the process of design, development and application of a prototypical user study tailored to the evaluation of complex geovisual analytics tools that focus on social media analysis. We fist perform a synthesis of existing theory and best practices for software evaluation of comparable systems. We then demonstrate how the product of said synthesis – a methodological ‘check list’ – can be used to inform a proof-of-concept user study of an actual geovisual analytics software system. The resulting user study design accommodates for the use of real geographic social media datasets, the complexity of the intended analytical process, and for the learning challenges faced by the participants working with a fully-functional and mature geovisual analytics application, and is likely representative of a wide range of evaluation scenarios in (geo)visual analytics. A complete summary of all the study instruments is included to encourage their scrutiny, reuse and modification by others. Finally, we have discovered that participants’ curiosity and desire for autonomy played a noticeable role in the evaluation process – something not previously reported.

Mapping the French green infrastructure – an exercise in homogenizing heterogeneous regional data / Lucille Billon in International journal of cartography, Vol 6 n° 2 (July 2020)  

Public [article]  inInternational journal of cartography > Vol 6 n° 2 (July 2020) . - pp 241 - 262 Titre : Mapping the French green infrastructure – an exercise in homogenizing heterogeneous regional data Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Lucille Billon, Auteur ; Cécile Duchêne , Auteur ; Sandrine Gomes, Auteur ; Arnaud Grégoire, Auteur ; Mathilde Kremp, Auteur ; Sébastien Mustière , Auteur ; Romain Sordello, Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Projets : 1-Pas de projet / Article en page(s) : pp 241 - 262 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Bases de données localisées [Termes IGN] carte thématique [Termes IGN] données hétérogènes [Termes IGN] écosystème [Termes IGN] généralisation cartographique automatisée [Termes IGN] harmonisation des données [Termes IGN] région [Termes IGN] trame verte et bleue Résumé : (auteur) To preserve and restore ecosystems, public environmental policies on the international level now encourage the creation of Green Infrastructure, i.e. networks composed of areas where animal and vegetal species can live (habitat patches) and corridors to circulate between them. In France, each regions, the first subnational administrative level, identified existing habitat patches and corridors in their territories using flexible guidelines. This resulted in heterogeneous data, raising the question of their consistent mapping at a supra-regional level. To answer this question, this study first focuses on the habitat patches of two adjacent regions and explores three ways of homogenizing the map. The first method consists in generalizing the more detailed data using morphologic operators. The second method consists in graphically refining the less detailed data by filling the areas with patterns taken from the more detailed data. The third method consists in drastically changing the level of abstraction of the data from both regions by rasterizing the space. Based on those experiments, we applied the most appropriate method to data collected by all the regions of continental France, a step which itself raises new issues concerning data harmonization and parameters settings.

The image of subsurface geology / Ane Bang-Kittilsen in International journal of cartography, Vol 6 n° 2 (July 2020)

Therefore, an unused potential of more informed decision-making and planning as well as improved solutions on societal challenges exist. The aim of this study was to better understand the geological map user and to improve the usability of geological map products. With the aim of improving graphical communication through maps and images, visual research methods are used. The sketch map method, which has been used since the 1960s, is used here to elicit information about people and their image subsurface geology of a city. The participants include students in area planning and experts within geology. Content, semiotic and visual analyses were performed on the sketches produced by the participants. The results show limited knowledge of geology and a lack of common geological language, both graphical and linguistic. Improved ways of representing the subsurface are identified, which can be used as input to more intuitive future designs. Adapting to the user’s image of subsurface geology, usability could be increased by using plain language, adding landmarks, pictographic symbols and patterns to geological visualizations. This could potentially lower the user threshold, trigger interest and raise the awareness of local urban geology.

The map is the story: the U-shaped line in western news media coverage of the geopolitics of the South China Sea / Peter Vujakovic in International journal of cartography, Vol 6 n° 2 (July 2020)  

Public [article]  inInternational journal of cartography > Vol 6 n° 2 (July 2020) . - pp 179 - 201 Titre : The map is the story: the U-shaped line in western news media coverage of the geopolitics of the South China Sea Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Peter Vujakovic, Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Article en page(s) : pp 179 - 201 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Cartographie [Termes IGN] Chine [Termes IGN] Chine, mer de [Termes IGN] communication cartographique [Termes IGN] géopolitique [Termes IGN] histoire [Termes IGN] média [Termes IGN] presse (media) [Termes IGN] représentation cartographique Résumé : (auteur) China’s claim to a large part of the South China Sea (SCS) is indicated by a specific cartographic convention, the U-shaped (or dashed) line, shown on its official maps. The line has become an important element in Western popular discourse concerning the geopolitics of the SCS. This paper argues that the cartographic re-presentation of the U-shaped line in the Western press contributes to an ‘orientalist’ conception that portrays China as ‘other’; as aggressive and unwilling to ‘play by the rules’, and a portrayal of the whole region as potentially unstable. Its re-circulation may, however, work to China’s advantage by reinforcing cartographic precedent and creating a specific ‘geographic imagination’ of the SCS. Maps are regarded as an important element in the ‘spectacle of fear’ propagated by the West, with the representations of the SCS shown to be part of a wider use of maps by the press to cover issues related to geopolitics and conflict.
