This article aims to study how mapping contributes to organize and implement Integrated Coastal Zone Management projects. In order to observe the use of spatial representations and better understand the stakeholder’s mapping practices a qualitative methodology is used. The results show that mapping was mostly used to structure and stabilize the actor’s network. MOTS-CLES : représentations spati...

For many Remote Sensing users, classification is the decisive stage of digital image analysis. Digital classification provides cartography and an inventory of the categories that are the object of study. In this paper we analyse a sector of the Natural Park of the Sierra de Mariola (Spain), with the aim of using two digital image classification procedures: supervised and unsupervised classifica...

With the exception of a few individuals, academic and government researchers in the United States started the transition from manual and photo-assisted techniques of cartography to computer-assisted cartography and geographic analysis in the 1970s. Although collaboration between government and academic cartographers started from the beginning of this transition, these two groups developed diffe...

The impacts and influences of Foucault's philosophies on geography cartography are great. This paper takes a different approach to this critical cartography, however, by focusing not just the map-image but map-sites exploring field as site cartographic practice. It does so drawing Christian Jacob's idea maps lieux de savoir, in new direction through placing within landscape lieu savoir. To do f...

The long superficial engagement of literary scholars with the cartographic lexicon (under the label of literary ‘spatial turn’) has led to a need for a ‘recartographization’ of the field. This tendency, however, still remains primarily embedded within analytical (‘cartography of literature’) or critical (‘critical literary cartography’) approaches, and fails to engage the recent development of ...

Currently we are moving from desktop applications towards the age of ubiquitous cartography. Therefore we have to consider more specialized map functions like thematic cartography. Mobile mapping will not only be limited to navigation systems or typical LBS functions. There are more specialized map functions like thematic mapping that are interesting and will be important in future web-based ap...

In this chapter, the authors propose a novel proactive routing protocol where routing advertisement frequency is self regulated locally at and by each node depending on its mobility level. The proposal relays on an asynchronous distributed cartography gathering algorithm and a link stability criterion. The cartography of the network is kept constantly valid in time and for all applied speeds. E...
