Human conceptions of spaces: Implications for GIS 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The way people conceptualize space is an important consideration for the design of GIS, because a better match with people's thinking is expected to lead to easier-to-use information systems. Everyday space, the basis to GIS, has been characterized in the literature as being either small-scale (from table-top to room-size spaces) or large-scale (inside-of-building spaces to city-size spaces). While this dichotomy of space is grounded in the view from psychology that people's perception of space, spatial cognition, and spatial behaviour are experience-based, it is in contrast to current GIS, which enable us to interact with large-scale spaces as though they were small-scale or manipulable. We analyse different approaches to characterizing spaces and propose a unified view in which space is based on the physical properties of manipulability, locomotion, and size of space. Within the structure of our framework, we distinguish six types of spaces: manipulable object space (smaller than the human body), non-manipulable object space (greater than the human body, but less than the size of a building), environmental space (from inside-of-building spaces to city-size spaces), geographic space (state, country, and continent-size spaces), panoramic space (spaces perceived via scanning the landscape), and map space. Such a categorization is an important part of Naive Geography, a set of theories on how people intuitively or spontaneously conceptualize geographic space and time, because it has implications for various theoretical and methodological questions concerning the design and use of spatial information tools. Of particular concern is the design of effective spatial information tools that lead to better communication. 相似文献

From fields to objects: A review of geographic boundary analysis 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
Geographic boundary analysis is a relatively new approach unfamiliar to many spatial analysts. It is best viewed as a technique
for defining objects – geographic boundaries – on spatial fields, and for evaluating the statistical significance of characteristics
of those boundary objects. This is accomplished using null spatial models representative of the spatial processes expected
in the absence of boundary-generating phenomena. Close ties to the object-field dialectic eminently suit boundary analysis
to GIS data. The majority of existing spatial methods are field-based in that they describe, estimate, or predict how attributes
(variables defining the field) vary through geographic space. Such methods are appropriate for field representations but not
object representations. As the object-field paradigm gains currency in geographic information science, appropriate techniques
for the statistical analysis of objects are required. The methods reviewed in this paper are a promising foundation. Geographic
boundary analysis is clearly a valuable addition to the spatial statistical toolbox.? This paper presents the philosophy of,
and motivations for geographic boundary analysis. It defines commonly used statistics for quantifying boundaries and their
characteristics, as well as simulation procedures for evaluating their significance. We review applications of these techniques,
with the objective of making this promising approach accessible to the GIS-spatial analysis community. We also describe the
implementation of these methods within geographic boundary analysis software: GEM.

The Nature of Uncertainty in Historical Geographic Information 总被引:8,自引:1,他引:8
Brandon Plewe 《Transactions in GIS》2002,6(4):431-456
While the presence of uncertainty in the geometric and attribute aspects of geographic information is well known, it is also present in temporal information. In spatiotemporal GIS databases and other formal representations, uncertainty in all three aspects of geography (space, time, and theme) must often be modeled, but a good data model must first be based on a sound theoretical understanding of spatiotemporal uncertainty. The nature of both uncertainty inherent in a phenomenon (often termed indeterminacy) and uncertainty in assertions of that phenomenon can be better understood through the Uncertain Temporal Entity Model , which characterizes the cause, type, and form of uncertainties in the spatial, temporal, and attribute aspects of geographic information. These uncertainties are the result of complexities and problems in two processes: the process of conceptualization, by which humans make sense of an infinitely complex reality, and measurement, by which we create formal representations (e.g. GIS) of those conceptual models of reality. Based on this framework, the nature and form of uncertainty is remarkably consistent across various situations, and is approximately equivalent in the three aspects, which will enable consistent solutions for representation and processing of spatiotemporal data. 相似文献

《International Journal of Digital Earth》2013,6(1):31-42
Abstract The formal process of system design begins with the identification of use cases. No such cases are readily apparent for the current generation of geobrowsers, though the text of the 1998 Gore speech refers to several. An analysis of the use cases of geographic information systems (GIS) reveals similarities with the functionality of geobrowsers, inviting the view that the two forms of geographic information technology will eventually converge. However, experience suggests that users are finding very different ways of exploiting geobrowsers, and two examples are discussed in detail. These uses can be interpreted within a broad framework of spatial concepts, and the paper concludes that this framework provides a better guide to the future of geobrowsers and Digital Earth than current GIS technology. 相似文献

An integrated urban systems model with GIS 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The main purpose of this paper is to explore a possible integration for the entire transportation modeling procedure – from
data inventory to future demand forecasting – by implementing integrated land use and transportation models with a geographic
information system (GIS). In order to make an integrated, procedural modeling system possible, Land Use and Transportation
modeling system with GIS (LUTGIS) has been developed and presented in this paper.
There are four sub-systems in LUTGIS: (1) a data inventory system, (2) a traffic analysis zone generation system, (3) an
integrated land use and transportation modeling system, and (4) a graphic user interface (GUI) system. Since the main target
of this paper is to explore a possible way to create a viable system, LUTGIS integrates currently available and user-friendly
computing technologies. For both transportation planners and administrative decision-makers, such an operable system is very
desirable for sharing information so they may arrive at a consensus through the use of LUTGIS, an integrated land use and
transportation modeling system.

A consistent theme in recent work on developing exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA) has been the importance attached
to visualization techniques, particularly following the pioneering development of packages such as SPIDER and REGARD (Haslett
et al. 1990).
The focus on visual techniques is often justified in two ways: (a) the power of modern graphical interfaces means that graphics
is no longer a way of simply presenting results in the form of maps or graphs, but a tool for the extraction of information
from data; (b) graphical, exploratory methods are felt to be more intuitive for non-specialists to use than methods of numerical
spatial statistics enabling wider participation in the process of getting data insights. However, little work has been done
to decide which visualization tools might be needed to support ESDA, or how they can be most effectively implemented.
This paper briefly reviews a theoretical framework that has been suggested for addressing these issues, which comprises two
elements: firstly a data model, based on the distinction between rough and smooth properties of spatial data, that defines
what an analyst is looking for in data (Haining et al. 1998) and secondly a theoretical model for assessing the quality of
visualisation tools (Cleveland 1994). The emphasis of this paper is the use of the theoretical framework to structure an assessment
of SAGE, a software system that has been written for the spatial statistical analysis (including both exploratory and confirmatory
data analysis) of area based data linked to a GIS. The aim of the assessment is to identify the desirable features of the
system (that might be employed in other systems) whilst also highlighting what the additional requirements are thereby contributing
to the development of systems for ESDA that contain good quality scientific visualization tools for exploratory spatial data
analysis.

基于描述逻辑本体的GIS多重表达 总被引:8,自引:1,他引:7
多重表达是地理信息弹性表达和弹性存取的一个内在要求,它实质上提供了一个多尺度、多应用主题的数据集成机制。多重表达的建模不能仅限于数据库中多重几何特征的一致性表达,还必须支持不同语义粒度、不同应用主题下语义特征的弹性描述。基于形式化本体的地理信息建模更贴近于认知模型,还有助于语义表达以及基于语义的信息集成和共享。通过经典描述逻辑中具体域以及context的扩展,满足区域拓扑和上下文语义形式化描述的需要;给出一个基于描述逻辑的多表达地理本体方案,该方案能够为数据库中几何信息和语义信息的弹性表达提供一个统一的基于逻辑的模型理论基础。 相似文献
