Towards a Geovisual Analytics Observatory
نویسنده
چکیده
In response to the charge “How can we best develop a systematic understanding of the intersection between human abilities, cartographic design decisions, and map use context? Can we predict what will work?” I argue for building a geovisual analytics observatory (GeO) to frame and support fundamental investigations based on empirical evidence of the who, what, how, when and why of human inference in visuo-spatial analytical reasoning, and spatiotemporal decision making with geographic information displays.
