Recent studies show that data uncertainty, commonly observed in real-life applications, should also be accounted for when determining the best classification scheme. Due to data uncertainty, a few studies note that map units might be placed in a wrong class, and the concept of map robustness has been introduced to minimize such misplacement. Recently, an algorithm has been developed to integrate robustness into the design of the optimal map classification scheme. However, the existing algorithm has two limitations: first, it is only suitable for certain robustness metrics. Second, when identifying the optimal class breaks, the existing algorithm requires predefined candidate class break values, which might lead to sub-optimal solutions. This paper resolves these issues by proposing a new model, namely, the Continuous Robust Map Classification Problem (CRMCP), and the associated solution approach. The CRMCP allows mapmakers to customize robustness metrics according to their data and applications. In addition, a particle swarm optimization algorithm is developed to solve the CRMCP. The model and algorithm are tested using American Community Survey data. Test results suggest that the new approach can find better solutions than the existing algorithm. The study improves the usability of choropleth maps when uncertain geographical attributes are involved and allows spatial analysts and decision-makers to incorporate robustness into the mapmaking process more flexibly.

Characteristics of disease maps of zoonoses: A scoping review and a recommendation for a reporting guideline for disease maps / Inthuja Selvaratnam in Cartographica, vol 57 n° 2 (Summer 2022)

Two reviewers conducted duplicate screening of titles and abstracts identified from a search in Medline and additional databases. Studies were included if they had a disease map figure describing a zoonotic disease. Map characteristics were extracted and summarized from full-text articles meeting inclusion criteria. The search identified 1666 records. A total of 302 articles meeting eligibility criteria were included, comprising 505 disease maps. While most studies (66%) used maps for descriptive exploratory purposes of identifying and representing spatial patterns visually, disease maps were also used analytically to display the results of geospatial and spatial statistical analyses in studies (34%). Most published disease maps identified in this review were reported without information that could be important for geospatial interpretations and their reproducibility. Specifically, 92% of maps in this review did not report the map projection. The findings from this scoping review support the development of a reporting guideline for thematic disease maps.

Glacier mass loss in the Alaknanda basin, Garhwal Himalaya on a decadal scale / S.N. Remya in Geocarto international, vol 37 n° 10 ([01/06/2022])

The change in glacial area and mass can affect the mountain community and people living in the Indo-Gangetic plain. The present study adopted the geodetic method to estimate the elevation change and mass budget of 61 glaciers in the Alaknanda Basin, using the satellite data of Cartosat-1 (2011, 2014, 2017) and SRTM (2000). Besides, the DEM of 1962 (SOI Toposheet) and 2000 (SRTM) is used to estimate the mass budget of Satopanth (SPG) and Bhagirath Kharak glaciers (BKG). The field debris thickness of SPG (2015-2017) is compared with the elevation change (2000-2017). Further, we have compared the mass loss of the glaciers with their volume. The results suggest the sustained mass loss of 1.85 ± 0.10 Gt out of 33.9 ± 8.8 Gt for 61 glaciers in the basin from 2000-2017. The mass loss of SPG and BKG during 2000-2017 is 0.20 ± 0.02 Gt and 0.24 ± 0.03 Gt, whereas from 1962 to 2000, is 0.083 ± 0.03 Gt and 0.091 ± 0.04 Gt, respectively. The analysis facilitates a better understanding of glacier mass changes in the Alaknanda basin on a multi-decadal scale.

An empirical study on the effects of temporal trends in spatial patterns on animated choropleth maps / Paweł Cybulski in ISPRS International journal of geo-information, vol 11 n° 5 (May 2022)

The presented study aims to examine the effectiveness of spatial pattern and temporal trend recognition on animated choropleth maps. In a controlled laboratory experiment with participants and eye tracking, fifteen animated maps were used to show a different spatial patterns and temporal trends. The participants’ task was to correctly detect the patterns and trends on a choropleth map. The study results show that effective spatial pattern and temporal trend recognition on a choropleth map is related to participants’ visual behavior. Visual attention clustered in the central part of the choropleth map supports effective spatio-temporal relationship recognition. The larger the area covered by the fixation cluster, the higher the probability of correct temporal trend and spatial pattern recognition. However, animated choropleth maps are more suitable for presenting temporal trends than spatial patterns. Understanding the difficulty in the correct recognition of spatio-temporal relationships might be a reason for implementing techniques that support effective visual searches such as highlighting, cartographic redundancy, or interactive tools. For end-users, the presented study reveals the necessity of the application of a specific visual strategy. Focusing on the central part of the map is the most effective strategy for the recognition of spatio-temporal relationships.

Searching for an optimal hexagonal shaped enumeration unit size for effective spatial pattern recognition in choropleth maps / Izabela Karsznia in ISPRS International journal of geo-information, vol 10 n° 9 (September 2021)  

Public [article]  inISPRS International journal of geo-information > vol 10 n° 9 (September 2021) . - n° 576 Titre : Searching for an optimal hexagonal shaped enumeration unit size for effective spatial pattern recognition in choropleth maps Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Izabela Karsznia, Auteur ; Izabela Golebiowska, Auteur ; Jolanta Korycka-Skorupa, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 576 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Rédaction cartographique [Termes IGN] analyse spatiale [Termes IGN] carte choroplèthe [Termes IGN] carte thématique [Termes IGN] échelle cartographique [Termes IGN] enquête [Termes IGN] généralisation [Termes IGN] lecture de carte [Termes IGN] reconnaissance de formes [Termes IGN] répartition géographique [Termes IGN] représentation cartographique [Termes IGN] utilisateur [Termes IGN] visualisation cartographique Résumé : (auteur) Thoughtful consideration of the enumeration unit size in choropleth map design is important to ensure the correct communication of spatial information. However, the enumeration unit size and its influence on pattern conveying in choropleth maps have not yet been the subject of in-depth empirical studies. This research aims to address this gap. We focused on the issue concerning whether the ability to recognize spatial patterns on an Equal Area Unit Map is related to the hexagonal enumeration unit size, defined by the number of pixels. The aim is to indicate the range of the enumeration unit sizes, namely, at what point the upper and lower borders of the range where the spatial patterns start, and where the end is visible and recognizable by users. To address this problem, we conducted an empirical study with 488 users. The results show that the enumeration unit size has an impact on the users’ spatial pattern recognition abilities. Choropleth maps with enumeration unit sizes of 26, 52, and 104 pixels were, in the majority, indicated by participants as those most suitable for indicating spatial patterns. This was in contrast to choropleth maps with enumeration unit sizes of 1664 and 3328 pixels, which users indicated as not being useful. However, there were some exceptions to this general finding. Thus, determining the optimal enumeration unit size is a challenging task, and requires further insightful investigations.
