The heuristic potential of spatial methods depends heavily on thechoice ofa weight matrix. article illustrates the creation and use ofabsolute geographic versus relative socio-political matrix tests both by calculating autocorrelation for development indicators. Particularly, a comparison is made association patterns in geometric geopolitical space sample 193 UN member states. Moran's I calcula...

The purpose of this article is to offer a development ofthe demographic map as an alternative to the geographical base-map for the presentation of areal data in epidemiology. The results of geographical investigations into disease morbidity or mortality are often presented cartographically and invariably the base-nap used is the normal geographical one, showing the relevant administrative areas...

A rectangular layout L is a rectangle partitioned into disjoint smaller rectangles so that no four smaller rectangles meet at the same point. Rectangular layouts were originally used as floorplans in VLSI design to represent VLSI chip layouts. More recently, they are used in graph drawing as rectangular cartograms. In these applications, an area a(r) is assigned to each rectangle r, and the act...

For a more objective assessment of Ukraine’s resource self-sufficiency, monitoring its natural environment, in particular, subsoil, is used, which importmant factor insuring economic stability and security the state. A component this scientific practical issue expansion deepening systemic manifestations placement geochemical resources on territory Ukraine with help economic-geographical zoning ...


 The work analyzes the dynamics and regime of atmospheric precipitation in cross-border region Poland-Belarus-Ukraine during period 2010-2018. This time was chosen, particular, due to need find prerequisites for strong shallowing lake complexes depletion groundwater Polish 2019, which caused significant social scientific resonance. source data statistical part were archival information fr...

O presente trabalho busca representar os casos, óbitos e taxas de letalidade do COVID-19 em regiões governo Estado Rio Janeiro por anamorfismo. A técnica anamorfismo consiste na construção cartogramas que deformam limites substituindo as escalas métricas fracionais. objetivo é analisar a distribuição ao longo dos meses abril agosto 2020, utilizando o ScapeToad para essas representações. um soft...

The information era is the time when information is not only largely generated, but also vastly processed in order to extract and generated more information. The complex nature of modern living is represented by the various kind of data. Data can be in the forms of signals, images, texts, or manifolds resembling the horizon of observation. The task of the emerging data sciences are to extract i...

Visualisations are external representations that have clearly discernible schematic and/or depictive properties. According to the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning, for example, visualisations can be powerful learning tools (Mayer, 2001). However, this theory has not been tested within the domain of history, nor for co-construction tasks. In an experimental study, the task products and di...

syntax to make statements about resources, and thanks to LOD principles, construct links to available external datasets in a simple manner, making them accessible and queryable through the Internet and promoting data reusability. As the amount of information at hand is greater every day, the need to handle it efficiently becomes a key requirement for anybody interested in working with it. This ...

Imagine that one could stretch a geographical map so that areas with many people would appear large, and areas with few people would appear small. If such a map could be made one would expect all voting districts to be the same size for they should contain equal numbers of people. Drawing on such maps should simplify the process of creating district boundaries. The construction of maps of the r...
