Abstract:
This article serves as an introduction to traditional cartographic tools and techniques of the Lakota Sioux people of the northern Great Plains. The study reveals that the Lakota created maps and utilized other cartographic tools that, while not following a western system of coordinates, grids, and scales, were nonetheless accurate instruments for navigation to important routes, landmarks, hunting grounds, and sacred sites. The tools and techniques utilized included oral transmission of cartographic data, stories and songs in the oral tradition, stellar cartography, hide maps, petroglyphs, earth scratchings, and various other physical and spiritual markers.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> For as long as humans have existed, they have created specific legal structures and technical means of representation in order to situate themselves within the geographical space where they live, to find the right direction, to measure time and distance, to define property and to calculate gradients. With the progress of civilisation, maps came to be used as an instrument for controlling society, siting architectural structures, establishing towns and determining trade axes and property rights. As social structures and the needs and relationships embedded in them changed, and technical and technological methods became more advanced, cartography developed too, and the uses of maps increased. From their earliest discovery, the basic characteristics of maps were grids, isohypses (contours) and physical data. The geography and settlements of Anatolia provide some clues as to the types of grid that were used in ancient times. There are invisible grids compatible with Euclidean geometry. These can only be detected from the clues given by the settlement locations. These grids, which have determined the locations of settlements, the pattern of roads, the geostamps&amp;reg; and the division of the land in Anatolia, are an unknown aspect of the ancient era. In response to the obscurity of the topic, this paper sets out to make a preliminary appraisal of the grids of the ancient era. With the aid of a multi-disciplinary approach, an inter-disciplinary methodology and the Google Earth software, it outlines some of the types of grid that it has been possible to identify from analyses and drawings of the geography of Anatolia, together with their measures and origins. The paper aims to make a contribution to the disciplines of cartography and spatial planning by presenting the invisible grids of the Anatolia.</p>

Abstract:
GIS are closely related to mathematical cartography, as they work with spatially coordinated data. Practical course in mathematical cartography should meet the requirements of time and include tasks involving the use of modern GIS technologies. The functionality of GIS packages allow you to easily create maps in a given map projection, draw graticules and measured grids, perform dimensions on maps. This article is devoted to the research of map projection properties on the basis of GIS technologies in a practical course of mathematical cartography. The focus is on visual way to display local and regional distortions on maps. To create lines of equal distortion should use special software tools that allow to build digital models of surface distortion distribution directly on formulas or be interpolated both discretely located nodal points and isolines.

Abstract:
The morphological differences between two geographical maps can be highlighted by a polycentric distance cartogram resulting from a bidimensional regression. Beyond the communicational interest of the transformations thus produced, the method makes it possible to reveal the differences in structure and therefore constitutes a real research tool. However, bidimensional regression can only compare the shape of two maps. Since the 1990s, geometric morphometrics has revolutionized the morphological analysis of natural structures (and others). It has since been applied in many fields of research but not in cartography. This article describes the theoretical and methodological bases of a method combining bidimensional regression with a geometric morphometrics approach to compare the shape of several geographical maps. Geometric morphometrics and bidimensional regression indeed share common approaches of the statistical shape analysis like homologous landmarks and interpolation grids. However, there is no software in geometric morphometrics capable of directly reading geographical data, which would facilitate the work of cartographers accustomed to GIS software. That is why we present MapMorphy, a tool specifically developed for this task. An example on ancient maps illustrates the method.

Abstract:
The problem of the generation of homogeneous grids for spherical domains is considered in the class of conformal conic mappings. The equivalence between secant and tangent projections is shown and splitting the set of conformal conic mappings into equivalence classes is presented. The problem of minimization of the mapping factor variation is solved in the class of conformal conic mappings. Obtained results can be used in applied sciences, such as geophysical fluid dynamics and cartography, where the flattening of the Earth surface is required.

Abstract:
During the last decades Geodesy and other Earth Sciences have undergone revolutionary changes concerning the use of Global Positioning Systems. Currently, traditional geodetic and topographic technologies are giving way to high-precision, productive and all-weather space systems. In 1995 the Federal Service of Geodesy and Cartography approved “the Concept of transiting topographic and geodetic production to autonomous methods of satellite coordinate definitions”. The transition to new technologies entails restructuring not only the methods of determining the coordinates, but also the stages of pre-design and design work. Currently, there has been intensive penetration of geoinformation technologies into sciences related to the analysis and processing spatially coordinated data, and geodetic data in particular. Specialized software products are developed but they are quite expensive and difficult for mastering. The authors describe the opportunities of using standard geographic information systems (for example, GIS ArcView V. 3.1) in the view of their spatial orientation for the analysis and optimal selection of the points of the initial geodetic framework and effective implementation of the complex of geodetic works, in order to accurately determine the coordinates of the points of the created geodetic reference network.

Full text
Abstract:
Vector arithmetic is a base of (coordinate) geometry, physics and various other disciplines. The usual method is based on Cartesian coordinate-system which fits both to continuous plane/space and digital rectangular-grids. The triangular grid is also regular, but it is not a point lattice: it is not closed under vector-addition, which gives a challenge. The points of the triangular grid are represented by zero-sum and one-sum coordinate-triplets keeping the symmetry of the grid and reflecting the orientations of the triangles. This system is expanded to the plane using restrictions like, at least one of the coordinates is an integer and the sum of the three coordinates is in the interval [−1,1]. However, the vector arithmetic is still not straightforward; by purely adding two such vectors the result may not fulfill the above conditions. On the other hand, for various applications of digital grids, e.g., in image processing, cartography and physical simulations, one needs to do vector arithmetic. In this paper, we provide formulae that give the sum, difference and scalar product of vectors of the continuous coordinate system. Our work is essential for applications, e.g., to compute discrete rotations or interpolations of images on the triangular grid.

Abstract:
This paper presents the GRASS GIS-based thematic mapping of Antarctica using scripting approach and associated datasets on topography and geophysics. The state-of-the art in cartographic development points at two important aspects. The first one comprises shell scripting promoted repeatability of the GIS technique, increased automatization in cartographic workflow, and compatibility of GRASS with Python, PROJ and GDAL libraries which enables advanced geospatial data processing: converting formats, re-projecting and spatial analysis. The second aspect is that data visualization greatly influences geologic research through improving the interpretation between the Antarctic glaciation and surface. This includes the machine learning algorithms of image classification enabling to distinguish between glacier and non-glacier surfaces through automatically partitioning data and analysis of various types of surfaces. Presented detailed maps of Antarctic include visualized datasets from the ETOPO1, GlobSed, EGM96 and Bedmap2 projects. The grids include bed and surface elevation, ETOPO1-based bathymetry and topography, bed, ice and sediment thickness, grounded bed uncertainty, subglacial bed elevation, geoid undulations, ice mask grounded and shelves. Data show the distribution of the present-day glacier, geophysical fields and topographic landforms for analysis of processes and correlations between the geophysical and geological phenomena. Advances in scripting cartography are significant contributions to the geological and glaciological research. Processing high-resolution datasets of Southern Ocean retrieved by remote sensing methods present new steps in automatization of the digital mapping, as presented in this research, and promotes comprehensive monitoring of geological, permafrost and glacial processes in Antarctica. All maps have been plotted using GRASS GIS version 7.8. with technical details of scripts described and interpreted.

Abstract:
Urban morphologies in the global south are shaped by a complex interplay of historical imprints, from colonial legacies and ethnic tensions to waves of modernization and decolonization efforts. This study delves into the urban morphology of Hangzhou during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, unraveling its transformative patterns steered by a convergence of spatial politics, economic forces, and cultural dynamics. Drawing upon a unique blend of historical map restoration techniques, we unearth pivotal morphological nuances that bridge Hangzhou’s transition from its pre-modern fabric to its modern-day urban layout. We uncover key shifts such as the movement from intricate street layouts to systematic grids, the strategic integration of public spaces like West Lakeside Park, and the city’s evolving urban epicenter mirroring its broader socio-political and economic narratives. These insights not only spotlight Hangzhou’s distinct urban journey in the context of ethnic conflicts, Western influences, and decolonization drives but also underscore the value of context-sensitive urban morphological research in the global south. Our findings emphasize the criticality of synergizing varied methodologies and theoretical perspectives to deepen our comprehension of urban transitions and to sculpt place identities and invigorate public imagination in global urban planning.

Abstract:
This paper presents using GDAL utilities and GRASS GIS for topographic analysis of the raster grids based on GEBCO DEM as NetCDF file at 15 arc-second intervals. The focus study area encompasses the area around Okinawa Trough, Ryukyu trench-arc system, southern Japan, East China Sea and the Philippine Sea, West Pacific Ocean. Several GDAL utilities were applied for data processing: gdaldem, gdalwarp, gdalinfo, gdal_translate. The data were imported to GRASS GIS via r.in.gdal. Data visualization highlighted high resolution and accuracy of GEBCO grid, enabling topographic modelling at the advanced level. The algorithm of DEM processing, implemented in GDAL utility gdaldem, was used for generating multi-purpose topographic models: aspect, hillshade, roughness and topographic indices, such as Topographic Position Index (TPI), Terrain Ruggedness Index (TRI). Thematic maps (topography, geoid, marine free-air gravity) were visualized using GRASS GIS modules for raster (d.rast, r.colors, r.contour) and vector (d.vect, v.in.region, d.legend) data processing. The results demonstrated smoother bathymetry in the East China Sea and rugged relief in the Philippine Sea which corresponds to their different geological and geophysical settings. The presented methodology of the topographic analysis based on DEM demonstrated technical aspects of GDAL and GRASS as scripting approach of advanced cartography.

Abstract:
'Feminine Rhyme' is a sequence of objects and paintings that resonate with women's experience in contemporary culture. The components I have used are: the structure of the grid, aggressive surface handling, and language derived from text. I have reconfigured these elements to direct the viewer in exploring layers of information that can be viewed in fragments as well as understood within the containment of a sound whole. I have explored the relationship of gender identity in our culture, and the role women play in association to masculine power. Through repetitive use of the grid, combined with isolated words and images, I have created paintings that can be read either in a formal manner through the use of structure and materials that are visually pleasing, or in context to a visual dialogue of contemporary gender myths. By fragmenting text in the form of torn book pages, I have altered and personalized the order, lending weight to chaos. Words become a form of mark making, a lyrical device to be read at random. I have obscured the imagery by hiding the text, leaving only scattered bits of information. These bits are derived from a 'therapeutic model' found in self help books, diet books and romance novels which exploit "feminism" as a commodity, serve as cultural documents, and influence women as to how they should perceive their bodies, their minds, their freedom. The end result is a visual interplay of form and color within the context of personal testimony and societal conditioning of the female experience in contemporary culture.

Abstract:
This thesis deals with a contemporary and interdisciplinary field of study: literary mapping. At the intersection of narrative theory, map theory and cultural geography, it concerns the manifold (and meaningful) practices generated by the mapping of literature. Indeed, it deals with reader-generated maps, maps created by readers during and after reading a literary text. Like a constellation of research moments, the thesis is a collection of articles that engage literary mapping with different perspectives and aims. Each article is independent and explores a different literary mapping practice; at the same moment, each article relates to the others, drawing the line of the complexity of the research topic. Engaging literary mapping through different research scales, the thesis starts with an overview of the state of the art of literary mapping practices through the Web. Analysing the actors, the practices and the tools engaged to map literature, the first part explore the role of digital mapping services in informing a gaze on the world through the relation between literature and cartography. Dealing with education, the second part of the thesis investigates the chances provided by literary mapping in both seizing spatial theory and narrative theory. Conceived as a meaningful practice, made of processes to explore and to take advantage of, literary mapping is investigated with a more-than-representational perspective. The third part of the thesis deals with a specific perspective, that of the literary cartographer: me. Indeed, in the third section, literary mapping is performed by myself (in different ways); this section has got two aims: on the one hand it explores the processual implication of literary mapping, with a theoretical interest. On the other hand, it aims to build a new reasoning on the mountain environment to which the literature mapped is devoted. Analysing the potentials of mapping Mario Rigoni Stern’s literature (this writer is at the centre of this section), the third part of the thesis explore the connection between space and time, mobilities issues and re-negotiate the concept of nature.
Questa tesi prende in esame un campo di studi interdisciplinare e contingente, quello della cartografia letteraria (o della mappatura letteraria). Posizionandosi all’intersezione fra studi narratologici, studi cartografici e geografia culturale, la tesi esplora le molteplici pratiche emergenti nella contemporaneità dalla mappatura letteraria. Infatti, l’argomento della ricerca sono le “reader-generated maps”, le mappe disegnate dai lettori durante o dopo la lettura di un testo letterario. Come una costellazione di momenti di ricerca, la tesi è collezione di articoli che analizzano le pratiche di mappatura con diverse prospettive e diversi scopi. Ogni articolo che compone la tesi è di per sé indipendente, e prende in causa un diverso tipo di mappatura letteraria; nello stesso momento però, ogni articolo si relaziona con gli altri, generando cos’ un discorso spaziale relazionale e complesso che ben restituisce la complessità dell’oggetto di studio. Analizzando le pratiche di mappatura letteraria attraverso diverse scale di ricerca, la tesi inizia con una panoramica sullo stato dell’arte delle mappature letterarie intraprese attraverso il Web. Studiando gli attori, le pratiche e gli strumenti utilizzati per mappare la letteratura, la prima parte della tesi va ad indagare il ruolo dei servizi si mappatura Web sulle pratiche di mappatura e sulle pratiche spaziali da esse generate. Prendendo in esame il campo della didattica, la seconda parte della tesi analizza (e suggerisce) le possibilità date dalla mappatura letteraria nell’approcciare teorie dello spazio ma anche teorie narrative. Concepita come una pratica densa di significato, una pratica composta da diversi processi da indagare, la mappatura letteraria è analizzata con uno sguardo “more-than-representational”. La terzia parte della tesi prende forma da una prospettiva peculiare, quella del cartografo letterario: me. Infatti, nella terza sessione la mappatura letteraria è realizzata da me in diversi modi; questa sezione possiede due scopi: da una parte esplora le implicazioni dei processi di mappatura, andando a indagarne le potenzialità teoriche (che cosa vuol dire mappare? Di quali processi è formato l’atto del mappare?). Dall’altra parte invece questa sezione va ad indagare le potenzialità della mappatura letteraria nella costruzione di nuovi sguardi di ricerca nei confronti dell’ambiente montano, referente della letteratura mappata. Analizzando le potenzialità di mappare la letteratura di Mario Rigoni Stern (scrittore al centro di questa sezione), la terza parte della tesi si interessa di approfondire (e anche negoziare) la relazione fra lo spazio e il tempo, la mobilità legata all’ambiente montano, e il dibattuto concetto di natura.

Abstract:
In 1887, following the completion of the CPR to the Pacific, William Stewart Drewry took part in the Topographical Survey of Canada's first experiment with photographic surveying, which he applied to the Rocky Mountain Railway Belt. He then surveyed the rich mining districts of BC during the Kootenay hardrock mining boom (1893-1909). In 1909, he became BC's first and only Chief Water Commissioner and, in 1911, he returned to surveying as BC's Inspector of Surveys. From 1913 until his retirement in 1929, he surveyed for government and in private practice. Throughout his career, Drewry operated between two land systems: first, a system based on customary rights and local obligations; and, second, a system based on private property and market exchange. Drewry implemented the latter capitalist system, attempting to empower the settlement society, which had the effect of ensuring corporate dominance and, to Drewry's dismay, monopolization of the BC landscape.

Abstract:
This chapter explores a particular epistemological orientation towards the human body shared by early modern literature, anatomy, and cartography. Beginning with the confluence of anatomical and cartographical metaphors in a range of literary and visual texts, it scrutinizes pervasive and mutually sustaining analogies among the body, the land, and maps. It then tracks how the discursive intimacy between anatomy and cartography morphed from an analogical relationship into an interactive one. Through a detailed reading of anatomical illustrations, voyage illustrations, and ethnographic country, continent, and world maps, the essay demonstrates that anatomy and cartography produced a graphic idiom of the body dedicated to abstraction and a ‘logic of the grid’. In so doing, they contributed to cognitive conditions that provided the epistemological wherewithal to begin to conceptualize humans by means of classification and comparison, and to apply this systematizing (yet non-binary) habit of thought to diverse populations across the globe.

Abstract:
In both practice and academic pedagogy, the initial pro forma analysis of site performed in order to lay the groundwork for design has left the profession with an incredibly shallow and even inimical understanding of place. Physical geographies alongside the extension of human construct (buildings, street grids, nodes, axes, etc.) have become the framework for the reading of identity within place; identity, however, is driven by an array of agents traditional cartography often neglects. These agents are especially evidenced in geopolitically fragile environments within the arctic where an intimacy with place is rooted in diurnal and seasonal patterns and migrations, fleeting phenomena stemming from climatic arcs, ecological frameworks and sequencing, and histories and cultures tied directly to spatial landscapes. Without factoring these agents into analysis, these very places are left to be perceived against a fictional background that promotes singular architectural strategies and policy decisions devoid of equitable impacts.

Abstract:
On the urban areas there are sources of information about the exposition to environmental allergens and others potential factors of allergies, such as: weather conditions, vegetation, urban morphology, etc. For the last two years we have been developing, together with the “La Fe” Hospital of Valencia, the Cartography Institute of Valencia (Instituto Cartografico Valenciano), and the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), a mobile phone App to help citizens to avoid high environmental allergens exposure areas while they are walking around the city. The App uses modified grid calculations where impedances have been calculated based on the variables that affect allergens exposure: temperature, humidity and wind direction, pollution level, trees, pollination, season period, pet areas, fountains and water surfaces. People’s allergy information and the factors that have effects on the allergens exposure were agreed by a group of specialized doctors. The design follows the recommendations of the Agency of Health Quality of Andalucia (Agencia de Calidad Sanitaria de Andalucia). R-ALERGO is the first App to avoid the exposure to air allergens in Spain. The App works following 4 steps: 1st Patient profile; 2nd Definition of the origin-destination of the route; 3rd Calculation of the route with the lower exposure to allergens; 4th Specific recommendations for users. The App R-ALERGO is developed following the concept of other applications dedicated to improve life quality of citizens and recovering, by using the idea of Smart Cities, the link between medicine and health, with the purpose of achieving more responsible cities towards their citizens.

Abstract:
Planning the territory presupposes an in-depth knowledge of it and, accordingly, gathering and systematizing information. Such gathering demands territorial delimitation referents. The latter are often administrative boundaries, but these do not always match the reality. In other cases, the territory is subdivided in a geo-referenced grid but available data or the attributes under scrutiny do not always fit such a blind geometry. Determining physical boundaries for data gathering units is a relevant and preliminary issue in any spatial planning process, especially if the territories in question lack homogeneity and/or if the approaches in use demand great detail. This communication intends to summarily present a Methodology for identifying and characterizing local scale territorial units within the Extended City designed during the ongoing research project Costs and Benefits of Urban Dispersion on a Local Scale. The designed methodology conjugates four complementary types of analysis, the first two containing some innovative aspects: * Digital Method; * Empirical Knowledge on Cartography; * Use of Statistical Data; * Complementary Analyses. Articulating the first three provides Base Land Units (BLUs) and Urban Pieces’ limits and preliminary characterization. These concepts were created and adopted to express local scale realities; BLUs are essentially functional-experiential and Urban Pieces morpho-typological.Complementary Analyses take the delimited units’ characterization further. There may be several types of such analyses depending on the objectives to achieve, which makes way for employing the Methodology in a vast range of situations. The whole Methodology is based on the idea that delimitation and characterization tasks should take place in parallel. They should also relate to each other so that the delimited units express from the onset different realities without preventing that more in-depth knowledge on each of them is sought in subsequent phases.

Abstract:
The defense of Ossola territories, on the Spanish passageway to Flanders, in the late seventeenth centuryThe Ossola territories, in the area to the northwest of Milan, have constituted the western border most in contact with the nordic and tens-alpine world, ever since the first establishment of the Duchy of Milan. It is already known from G. Parker’s monography on the camino español that one of the common routes, which allowed overland redeployment of Spanish troops headed towards Flanders, from the Liguria region across central Europe, would go through Ossola and cross the Simplon Pass or the Gries Pass. During the turbulent historical period of the Thirty Years’ War and the following one, the changing fortunes of the Duchy of Milan in Spanish hands led to the fast and strategic conquest of Piedmontese cities (1639) and their equally rapid loss on the western border. Especially in the second half of the seventeenth century, the Franco-Savoy advance threw the Piedmontese borders into a severe crisis and the Spanish governors of Milan accordingly adopted all the military measures needed to address the issue. Fearing incursions from the north, through Romandie, Valais and Ossola, in the late seventeenth century, many field engineers among whom Beretta and Formenti, arranged the transformation of Domodossola, the outermost military stronghold only equipped with obsolete medieval walls at the time, into a “modern” rampart city (1687-1690). The engineers produced an accurate study of the territory, preserved today in the Historical Civic Archive and at the Trivulziana library in Milan in a cartographic manuscript series of all the Ossola valleys and the Swiss territory from Brig to Lake Leman.
