Handling Spatial Relations in Logical Concept Analysis to Explore Geographical Data

چکیده
Because of the expansion of geo-positioning tools and the democratization of geographical information, the amount of geo-localized data that is available around the world keeps increasing. So, the ability to efficiently retrieve informations in function of their geographical facet is an important issue. In addition to individual properties such as position and shape, spatial relations between objects are an important criteria for selecting and reaching objects of interest: e.g., given a set of touristic points, selecting those having a nearby hotel or reaching the nearby hotels. In this paper, we propose Logical Concept Analysis (LCA) and its handling of relations for representing and reasoning on various kinds of spatial relations: e.g., Euclidean distance, topological relations. Furthermore, we present an original way of navigating in geolocalized data, and compare the benefits of our approach with traditional Geographical Information Systems (GIS).

Theoretical review and Planning process of the Relation between Environment, Spatial Justice and Urban Governance
The concept of spatial justice has been widely employed in the recent literature that attempts to deal with concepts and practices of justice from a geographical perspective. However, the concept of spatial justice needs to be recast. Spatial justice could be the most radical offspring of law’s ‘spatial turn’. Spatial justice is arguably the most promising platform on which to redefine, not o...

متن کاملA combinatorial data model for representing topological relations among 3D geographical features in micro-spatial environments
This research is motivated by the need for 3D GIS data models that allow for 3D spatial query, analysis and visualization of the subunits and internal network structure of ‘micro-spatial environments’ (the 3D spatial structure within buildings). It explores a new way of representing the topological relationships among 3D geographical features such as buildings and their internal partitions or s...

متن کاملExtending the Qualitative Trajectory Calculus Based on the Concept of Accessibility of Moving Objects in the Paths
Qualitative spatial representation and reasoning are among the important capabilities in intelligent geospatial information system development. Although a large contribution to the study of moving objects has been attributed to the quantitative use and analysis of data, such calculations are ineffective when there is little inaccurate data on position and geometry or when explicitly explaining ...
