However, if using standard data classification methods for the creation of these maps, problems arise: significant changes can be lost by data classification (change loss) or non-significant changes can be emphasized (change exaggeration). In this paper, an extended method for data classification is presented, which can reduce these effects as far as possible. In the first step, class differences are set for important or necessary changes. The actual data classification considers these class differences in the context of a sweep line algorithm, whose optimal solution is determined with the help of a measure called Preservation of Change Classes (POCC). By assigning weights during computation of this measure, different tasks or change analyses (e.g. emphasize only highly significant changes) can be processed.","PeriodicalId":55971,"journal":{"name":"Cartographic Journal","volume":"33 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134901214","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper asserts that this graphic appearance reflects the evangelical thought of spreading the gospel and marked a very significant transition in the visual portrayal of West-Central Africa. Employing an historical-stylistic analysis, this paper examines the Christian missionary contribution to the appearance of the Yorùbá landscape in nineteenth-century maps. The Southern Baptist missionary maps of the 1850s, resulting from evangelical discourses and missionary work, highlighted geographical features that gave a new landscape identity to Yorùbáland. The map design of this ethno-territorial space emphasises an evangelical concern for well-populated regions. Hence, this study highlights the role of missionary maps in the distinctive visual expression of an ethnic territory in West African geography.KEYWORDS: Cartographic styleSouthern Baptist MissionYorùbálandThomas BowenWilliam Keenan Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsBabatunde Adedayo OgundiwinBabatunde Adedayo Ogundiwin is currently a doctoral student at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa having gained Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees at the University of Lagos, Akoka, Nigeria.

Given a set of sample colours, kernel density estimation (KDE) can be used to estimate each colour's probability density (appropriateness) to represent the category. How to couple bandwidth and kernel to estimate better appropriateness remains unknown. To fill this gap, an experiment was designed to explore best pairs of bandwidth and kernel capturing users' assessments. We gathered six groups of colour samples from 10 well-accepted land use atlases and 30 randomly sampled test colours; we then applied KDE to estimate the appropriateness of test colours using all possible pairs of bandwidth and kernel, and invited participants to score each test colour. Results show that pair of rule-of-thumb bandwidth and Gaussian kernel yields the best estimates. Our findings are generalizable to diverse colours and can serve as a complement to design colours.KEYWORDS: Map colour designcategorical colourskernel density estimationcolour conventionsexperimental evaluation Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data Availability StatementData are available from the authors upon request.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (grant numbers 41971417 and 41930104).Notes on contributorsMingguang WuMingguang WU is currently a professor at department of geographic information science, Nanjing Normal University, China.

Although there are some oral history-based studies attempting to spatialize them, they lack any measure of accuracy and reliability, and carry the risk of leading to false memories. In this context, the aim of this paper is to illustrate that collective memory can be properly reconstructed by using historical maps only if appropriate methods of analysis and reliable maps are used. In this study, which is based on various historical maps of Mersin city, the locations of the lost piers have been determined by using georeferencing tools available in QGIS. The study reveals that the tendency to construct false memories could be prevented by using reliable maps and appropriate tools in GIS in combination with the archive records.KEYWORDS: Urban historyhistorical mapscultural heritagegeoreferencingGISTurkey AcknowledgmentsAn earlier version of this manuscript in draft was presented at the seventh International Conference on Cartography & GIS (7 ICC&GIS 2018) held by the Bulgarian Cartographic Association in Sozopol, Bulgaria (18th-23rd June, 2018).

In this paper, it is argued that astronomical observations of longitude were accommodated in the representation, and that the chart was produced in the specific context of the Juntas of Badajoz-Elvas, held between the representatives of the Spanish and Portuguese Crowns, to discuss the location and possession of the Spice Islands. It is further shown that the chart was produced using the information brought to Seville by the ship San Antonio, which had deserted the fleet in October 1520, before the passage to the Pacific Ocean was found. It is concluded that this chart presents a unique historical milestone in the history of cartography, containing the earliest material evidence of the effective use of astronomical methods to determine longitude in a nautical context.KEYWORDS: History of cartographyhistory of nautical cartographyhistory of navigationhistory of maritime expansioncircum-navigation of Magellan/Elcanoastronomical determination of longitude AcknowledgementsI warmly thank Romeu Gaspar for his support in assessing the errors associated with astronomical determinations of longitude in the sixteenth century, which has permitted more solid conclusions to be drawn about how this chart was constructed.

Despite of the use of a map projection foreign to marine navigation, the representation was copied from traditional charts, and the cartographic conventions in the depiction of the coastlines and names are those of nautical cartography.2 The anonymous chart known as Kunstmann IV planisphere (c. 1519), attributed to Jorge Reinel and Pedro Reinel, was lost during World War II.

Our results indicate that the Soviet city plans do not include all military sites located in the areas they cover. In addition, several sites are erroneously included in the lists of strategically important objects and the lists also include obsolete information on sites that were no longer in military use.
