Cybercartography as a Theoretical Framework for the Design of an Expert-Topographic Map Service
Beginning in the twentieth century, theoretical and practical advances in computer technology, communications, and cartography have led to new paradigms in mapping. For the design of the Expert-Topographic Map Service in Mexico, we adopted a theoretical cybercartography framework that we expanded to incorporate expert systems. Another line of research is to include other artificial intelligence resources. Using a transdisciplinary approach, we we…
Meeting the Challenges of the UN Sustainable Development Goals through Holistic Systems Thinking and Applied Geospatial Ethics
The halfway point for the implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) was marked in 2023, as set forth in the 2030 Agenda. Geospatial technologies have proven indispensable in assessing and tracking fundamental components of each of the 17 SDGs, including climatological and ecological trends, and changes and humanitarian crises and socio-economic impacts. However, gaps remain in the capacity for geospatial and relate…
Co-design of educational social games with newcomer children
This article addresses the problem of newcomer children’s social adjustment through the use of educational games and co-design activities. While the adjustment process has been studied broadly, there are few studies on using computer games as a solution, especially the involvement of the children in the design process. This article is based on data collected from two studies aimed at understanding newcomer children’s social adjustment needs and i…
Sipping Tea and Sharing Kōrero

Cybercartography in a Reconciliation Community
Mapping Traditional Knowledge
Digital cartography offers exciting opportunities for recording indigenous knowledge, particularly in contexts where a people's relationship to the land has high cultural significance. Canada's north offers a useful case study of both the opportunities and challenges of such projects. Through the Geomatics and Cartographic Research Centre (GCRC), Inuit peoples have been invited to become partners in innovative digital mapping projects, including …
Mapping Indigenous Perspectives in the Making of the Cybercartographic Atlas of the Lake Huron Treaty Relationship Process
This article discusses a two-pronged approach to designing and developing an online, interactive multimedia – cybercartographic – atlas that combines critical academic perspectives with Anishinaabe approaches to understanding in order to “tell the story” of the Robinson Huron Treaty process in a way intended to enhance awareness of Anishinaabe perspectives and expose the epistemological and ontological roots of colonialism. Building on the work t…
Towards an Indigenist data management program
The International Polar Year (2007–2008) (IPY) established an IPY data policy that guides a formal data management (DM) process. The DM system envisioned includes data based on Indigenous knowledge systems linked to data collected in the Western scientific tradition. Based on experiences developing an online Atlas of Inuit Sea Ice Knowledge and Use (Siku Atlas) we argue that an ‘Indigenist’ DM program must be developed if the envisioned IPY DM sy…

A “Living” Atlas for Geospatial Storytelling
This article presents and discusses the cultural and technological contexts of the development of the Cybercartographic Atlas of Indigenous Perspectives and Knowledge of the Great Lakes Region in Ontario. The atlas was developed to enhance the capability to recover the systemic nature of traditional Indigenous knowledge by electronically interrelating different forms of expressive culture (language, oral traditions, items of material and visual c…
The Big-Push Approach to African Development and Local Capacity Building
This article discusses the “big-push” approach to Africa's development and its implications for local-level processes. This approach has enhanced the role of national governments in development planning along with a focus on building the capacity of public sectors. It is argued that building strong capacity from below is equally important to initiate and support sustained action on poverty reduction. The article thus presents a brief case study o…

The Power of Projections
Cybercartography
The world of maps and mapping is rapidly being transformed. Recent technological developments have brought maps into the daily life of societies all over the world in unprecedented ways. Maps are everywhere: on our cell phones, in newspapers, in art galleries, on television, in books, and, obviously, on our computer screens. According to Michael Peterson (2005), maps are now second only to weather information in the number of World Wide Web searc…
Geo-cybernetics
The term “geomatics” has existed in the literature for more than a decade, but an overall consensus on the definition of this emerging discipline has not yet been found. The knowledge domain of geomatics has developed in the “interaction space” among converging disciplines (e.g., geographic information systems, cartography, remote sensing, geodesy, and photogrammetry), but its borders are “complex and fuzzy.” Taking cybernetics, both classic and …
Cartographic ideals and geopolitical realities
This paper charts the attempts to construct an international map of the world using a standard projection and common conventions and symbols. The first part of the paper discusses the original incarnation of this idea, the International (1:1 Million) Map of the World (IMW), initially proposed by the German geographer Albrecht Penck in the early 1890s. The IMW was designed to challenge the idea that cartography was an inherently national science u…

Recent Developments In Cartography In The People's Republic Of China
Cartography has a long and impressive history in China and the paper begins by setting the context for a consideration of recent developments by referring briefly to some of the landmarks in the development of cartography since earliest times. This is followed by a description of the cartographic agencies and organizations nationwide. An assessment of recent achievements and the major challenges facing cartography in China is then made. China is …
District Focus as a Strategy for Rural Development in Kenya
Kenya has followed a strongly centralized development planning strategy since Independence in 1963. In 1983 a new approach called District Focus was introduced. This paper considers the potential of that approach to bring about meaningful change to the rural population using a case study from Murang' a District. Inequalities between socioeconomic strata as well as within the household have increased since 1963 and it is argued that post-independe…

The Internal Trade of Fort Hall, Kenya District, Kenya
Fort Hall District is the heartland of the Kikuyu plateau and the traditional homeland of the Kikuyu people. The plateau rises in altitude from about 4000 feet in the east to over 12,000 feet in the Aberdare mountains to the west, but above about 7500 feet the land is forest reserve and is virtually uninhabited. The heavy relief rainfall on the Aberdare mountains has given rise to hundreds of small streams which have deeply dissected the volcanic…

Gimms / an Example of an Operational System for Computer Cartography
The computer is playing an increasing role in Canadian Cartography. Developments in the field of thematic computer cartography have been less spectacular than those in automated cartography. This paper describes an operational system for thematic computer cartography, GIMMS; now mounted at Carleton University. It is argued that the availability of systems of this type will help realize the potential of the computer in thematic mapping

Graphic Perceptions of Language in Ottawa-Hull
The use of the computer is explained in the production of three-dimensional diagrams that give a spatial perspective to assist the perception of the map user. The technique is demonstrated through examples of simple choropleth maps produced using GIMMS, and then by portraying the same distribution in three-dimensional form by the use of PREVU. The versatility of this program is also demonstrated by presenting the diagrams from three different vie…

The Cartographic Potential of Telidon
Telidon is an advanced videotext developed by the Department of Communications and first released in 1978. This paper discusses the potential of Telidon as a means of displaying maps. Initial research with maps on Telidon has shown that there are two main problems: input to the system and design for the new medium. The paper discusses both issues. Map design research must concentrate on responding to the challenge of 1. effective cartographic com…
