Review: Cartography: challenges and potential in the virtual geographic environments era

Milan Konecny

The author analyzed previous development and current state of the art of cartography on the background of latest scientific results coming with improvement of virtual geographic environments. Cartography has been influenced by development of information and communication technologies and geographical thinking. The strongest and most visible contemporary streams in cartography and geographic information systems are the existence and use of Web 2.0, which supports Web-based services for many people all around the world and fast development of crowd-sourcing allowing collection of voluntary information. The author deals with the current position of cartography which is influenced by progressively new environment, especially realization of idea of spatial information infrastructures through projects such as Global Monitoring for Environment and Security, Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe or Shared Environmental Information System, and others. New achievements of ubiquitous cartography, especially adaptive and context mapping are overviewed as well. The article also highlights virtual environments and explains immersive, perception, and interaction aspects. Basics of neo-geography and volunteer geographic information are also described. The core of this article includes analyses, ideas, and considerations of cartographical challenges in virtual geographic environment era. The author delimits the so-called inner and outer development of cartography. The former deals with selective aspects of contemporary cartography development, such as user interface and cartographic generalization streams. The latter deals with development of three-dimensional maps and models in cartography, new and still hypothetical investigations of recognition, and possible use of cognitive styles in cartography. The last part of the article is devoted to the role of cartography in realization of the concepts of spatially enabled society and digital earth.

Research of Students’ Cartographical Knowledge in Early Warning and Crisis Management

Temenoujka Bandrova; Milan Konecny; Monika Rusnáková

European Union and other developed countries are discussing ways to reinforce their disaster response capacity. The wide activities portfolio is intended to improve the European civil protection response capacity. A European Disaster Response Training Network has been developed with high standards of preparedness, self-sufficiency and interoperability in order to increase the European level of training and scientific knowledge dealing with natural hazards and disasters issues (COM 2008). We suppose that the fundamental way to sustainably improve the training process should involve education and preparation tailored to different levels of schools. In order to accomplish this, we must first know the level of knowledge, understanding, skills, ability and preparation of students for crisis situations. This chapter describes the results of an investigation of the possible response of students for early warning and crisis situations as regards their cartographical knowledge. The study was conducted in four European countries: Austria, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, among three student groups: 12–13-year-old students in secondary schools, 17–18-year-old students in high schools and university students. We present the study and analyses of the results based on questionnaire investigations. Using these, we draw conclusions about the students’ knowledge and preparedness for crisis situations. The study clearly shows that mapping and cartography can greatly help these youths. To achieve this, cartographers should use the students’ ideas in map design.

A discussion for integrating INSPIRE with volunteered geographic information (VGI) and the vision for a global spatial-based platform

Demetris Demetriou; Michele Campagna; Ivana Racetin; Milan Konecny

INSPIRE is the EU’s authoritative Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) in which each Member State provides access to their spatial data across a wide spectrum of data themes to support policy making. In contrast, Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) is one type of user-generated geographic information where volunteers use the web and mobile devices to create, assemble and disseminate spatial information. There are similarities and differences between SDIs and VGI initiatives, as well as advantages and disadvantages. Thus, the integration of these two data sources will enhance what is offered to end users to facilitate decision makers and the wider community regarding solving complex spatial problems, managing emergency situations and getting useful information for peoples’ daily activities. Although some efforts towards this direction have been arisen, several key issues need to be considered and resolved. Further to this integration, the vision is the development of a global integrated GIS platform, which extends the capabilities of a typical data-hub by embedding on-line spatial and non-spatial applications, to deliver both static and dynamic outputs to support planning and decision making. In this context, this paper discusses the challenges of integrating INSPIRE with VGI and outlines a generic framework towards creating a global integrated web-based GIS platform. The tremendous high speed evolution of the Web and Geospatial technologies suggest that this “super” global Geo-system is not far away.

Geography in philately

Milan Konecny; Edvard Geryk; Radim Štampach; Z Stachon

The authors present 225 samples of stamps from 92 countries as interesting cartosemiothic examples. Their texts, numeracy and other modules including maps, atlases, and satellite images of our Earth, are an area of common interest of geographers and philatelists.

Digital Earth – Young generation's comprehension and ideas

Temenoujka Bandrova; Milan Konecny

The authors are experienced in working with children and students in the field of early warning and crises management and cartography. All these topics are closely connected to Digital Earth (DE) ideas. On the basis of a questionnaire, the young generations comprehension of DE concept is clarified. Students from different age groups (from 19 to 36) from different countries and with different social, cultural, economical and political backgrounds are asked to provide definition of DE and describe their basic ideas about meaning, methodology and applications of the concept. The questions aim to discover the young generations comprehension of DE ideas. They partially cover the newest trends of DE development like social, cultural and environmental issues as well as the styles of new communications (Google Earth, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.). In order to assure the future development of the DE science, it is important to take into account the young generations expectations. Some aspects of DE development are considered in the Conclusions.
