It seeks to determine whether parcel land use codes can be used to reliably replicate population and housing distributions within small (subcounty) areas and whether other parcel attributes – in addition to land use – exhibit any explanatory power in replicating population and housing characteristics within these same places. The basis for this paper was Professor Barbara Buttenfield’s service on the Census Scientific Advisory Committee, in which her working group explored the utility of administrative source data as an alternative or complement to federal survey data. This analysis highlights some of the benefits and complications of the incorporation of parcel data into geodemographic estimation, and the findings demonstrate that such a use is problematic but encouraging.KEYWORDS: Parcelneighborhoodpopulationestimationcadastralsmall-area Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe data that support the findings of this study are available in the Github UofLKSDC/CAGIS2022 repository available at https://zenodo.org/badge/latestdoi/515252659.

{"title":"A parallel strategy to accelerate neighborhood operation for raster data coordinating CPU and GPU","authors":"Zhixin Yu, Chen Zhou, Manchun Li","doi":"10.1080/15230406.2023.2272660","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/15230406.2023.2272660","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTThis study presents an asynchronous parallel strategy coordinating central processing unit (CPU) and graphic processing unit (GPU) to accelerate neighborhood operation (NO). Specifically, we propose a data partitioning method called multi-anchor task queuing and a task scheduling method called bi-direction task scheduling, which can support CPU and GPU to find the responsible data blocks rapidly and concurrently handle their tasks via a bi-direction merge. Moreover, we optimize the organization of threads distributed among the CPU and GPU. Experimental results show that when a 1.7 GB raster dataset is processed, the speedup ratio achieved by the proposed parallel algorithm reaches 29.63, which is 19% and 18% higher than those of the GPU and standard asynchronous parallel algorithm, respectively. Additionally, the load balance index is below 0.085, which is significantly better than the value achieved by a conventional algorithm. Thus, the strategy achieves a higher speedup ratio and more adaptable load balance, thereby accelerating the NO more efficiently. Further, the impacts of the data volume, computational intensity, organization mode of the GPU threads, and granularity of the GPU stream on the parallel efficiency are evaluated and discussed. We also test the efficiency of four other common NOs with our strategy.KEYWORDS: Geographical raster dataneighborhood operationparallel computingCPU and GPUload balance AcknowledgmentsThe authors sincerely thank the anonymous reviewers and editors for their valuable feedback and constructive comments, which greatly contribute to improving this paper.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).CRediT authorship contribution statementZhixin Yu: Conceptualization, Methodology, Software, Visualization, Writing – original draft.Chen Zhou: Conceptualization, Data Curation, Supervision, Validation, Writing – review & editing.Manchun Li: Supervision, Writing – review & editing.Data availability statementThe computer code and sample dataset that support the findings of this study are available at https://www.doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/AG3QC.

While this topic is still under-studied, it has gained increasing coverage in the peer-reviewed literature over the past five years. The review examines the variations in the process of creating landslide maps, considering aspects such as planning, mapping techniques, presentation, and dissemination. However, there are several areas that require improvement, including diversifying the types of maps, considering the role and involvement of users, developing more user-friendly designs, and reducing reliance on experts during the dissemination process. The findings of this review provide valuable insights into the current limitations in establishing these maps and offer guidance for future research in this field.","PeriodicalId":47562,"journal":{"name":"Cartography and Geographic Information Science","volume":"1 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135935857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, most dashboards did not include animated maps despite their intuitive visual analogy to the temporal unfolding of events. This study explores the effectiveness of population cartograms as a basis for animated maps showing the progression of a pandemic. The ability to recall locations of peak case rates per population was compared for subjects receiving animated maps and cartograms overlaid with proportional symbols and choropleth colors representing case counts and rates per population, respectively. Results confirm that map readers often confuse case counts with rates on standard proportional symbol maps and fail to notice small, densely populated enumeration units on standard choropleth maps. Population cartograms reduced these common visual biases for both map forms, but map readers were unable to track rates per population on proportional symbol cartograms even with prior instruction. Although animations of standard choropleth maps and colored proportional symbol cartograms were most preferred by subjects, choropleth cartograms are recommended for consideration by dashboard creators as they effectively communicate case rate trends while avoiding visual biases associated with other map types.KEYWORDS: COVID-19map dashboardscartogramsanimationepidemiology AcknowledgmentsWe would like to express our gratitude for the editors’ and anonymous reviewers’ timely and constructive feedback.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementAnimations used in the human subjects experiment described in this study are openly available on the first author’s website at https://castle.eiu.edu/~bjkronenfeld/projects/cagis23animations/.Additional informationFundingFunding for the human subjects experiment was provided by an Eastern Illinois University Student Impact Grant.","PeriodicalId":47562,"journal":{"name":"Cartography and Geographic Information Science","volume":"38 2‐3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135933657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The influence of the viewing perspective of mapped flood events on human risk perception has not yet been a research focus of the geovisualization community. This empirical study aims to fill this gap by investigating how the viewing perspective of flood risk maps, that is, 2D orthographic vs. 2.5D oblique views, influence human flood risk perception and decision-making. Results on how viewing perspective might influence measured risk perception are in line with prior inconclusive research on the utility and usability of adding a third viewing dimension on static maps. Unlike prior research would have suggested, we find that the individual risk attitude of our participants had no direct influence on their risk ratings in the context of this study. With additional empirical evidence on how static 2D and oblique 2.5D hazard maps might influence the public’s risk perception and decision-making, we hope to further inform policy and decision makers on the critical importance of well-designed cartographic displays for effective and efficient hazard and risk communication.

Geomasking methods have been developed to mitigate the risks by displacing spatial points before mapping. However, many of these methods rely on a weak privacy notion called spatial k-anonymity, which is insufficient to withstand the growing amount of spatial data (e.g. land use) that adversaries can use as side information to infer the actual locations of individuals. We proposes a method called geo-indistinguishable masking to address this issue by relying on a strong privacy notion called geo-indistinguishability. This notion ensures consistent levels of privacy protection regardless of any side information. The method consists of two steps. The first step involves creating a masking area for each spatial point to include a set of candidate locations to which the point can be relocated. In the second step, we formulate an optimization model to ensure the masked locations satisfy geo-indistinguishability while minimizing the distance displaced. Computational experiments on a synthetic dataset demonstrate that our proposed method is both efficient and effective in providing strong privacy protection while preserving the spatial point patterns.KEYWORDS: Differential privacygeo-indistinguishabilitygeomaskinggeoprivacyspatial anonymization Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe data and code that support the findings of this study are available on Figshare at https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.23632443.Supplementary materialSupplemental data for this article can be accessed online at https://doi.org/10.1080/15230406.2023.2267967.Notes1. https://www.gurobi.com/.2. https://www.ibm.com/products/ilog-cplex-optimization-studio/cplex-optimizer.3. https://www.coin-or.org/.","PeriodicalId":47562,"journal":{"name":"Cartography and Geographic Information Science","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135868380","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But because the encoded information of these maps relies on visual access, blind or low-vision (B/LV) people who want to contribute to their community’s NHMP efforts are therefore effectively excluded from any stage of the process involving maps. In response, we investigate tactile flood maps as an accessible tool for NHMP. Our study proposes a workflow for creating thematic tactile flood maps using existing resources, methods, and design conventions, and then evaluates those thematic tactile maps to understand user confidence amongst B/LV users. This work contributes a proposed configuration of tactile mapping resources to be used for NHMP and evaluates user confidence while using those resources. Results suggest that B/LV users respond positively to using tactile maps in a high-stakes context such as NHMP, and that tactile maps can expand the number and diversity of people who are able to contribute to NHMP. To maximize contributions, we recommend that future tactile map research invest a greater amount of attention to developing resources for B/LV people to create, edit, and distribute maps themselves.KEYWORDS: Usabilityuser experienceblindlow visiondisabilitydisasterhazard AcknowledgmentsThe authors would like to thank Michelle McManus, Naomi Rosenberg, Deborah Klein, Ken Quinn, and Tim Prestby for their essential contributions to this project.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementParticipants in this study did not agree for their data to be shared publicly, so supporting data is not available.Supplementary dataSupplemental data for this article can be accessed online at https://doi.org/10.1080/15230406.2023.2264747","PeriodicalId":47562,"journal":{"name":"Cartography and Geographic Information Science","volume":"2006 24","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135813653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, many existing methods either overlook the evolving nature of sentiments or fail to account for the spatial distribution of sentiment trends related to specific topics. To gain a comprehensive understanding of how sentiments evolve in relation to topics and geographies, it is essential to capture the dynamic nature of sentiment through time series analysis and geovisualization. This article introduces a workflow that combines natural language processing, spatial time series analysis, and geovisualization techniques to identify and visualize the variations in sentiment trends on Twitter across different geographic regions and topics. By examining the 2016 presidential debates as a case study, we uncover distinct temporal patterns in sentiment distributions across various topics and states. Our findings also show that adjacent states do not always share similar sentiment trends, and that geographic clusters with similar sentiment trends also vary across topics. Failing to consider these variations may result in misunderstanding public discourse and sentiments since they are diverse and dynamic in nature.KEYWORDS: Sentiment trendsnatural language processingspatial time series analysisgeovisualizationTwitter AcknowledgmentsThe authors would like to thank the anonymous reviewers for their valuable insights.
