Seeing isn't always believing
The proliferation of realistic-looking visuals such as maps and images that are deliberately fabricated to spread misinformation has ignited a public trust crisis. Does the visual nature of this misinformation make it more credible and memorable? Does debunking affect people’s credibility judgments and memory of misinformation? This study explores these questions by conducting an online pre-post test experiment (N = 317). Accordingly, we compare …
Trust in maps
Maps have served as authoritative and trustworthy sources of geospatial information for years.However, maps are increasingly being wielded to spread misinformation due to the democratization of mapmaking, advances in AI, and the emergence of post-truth politics.Trust plays a fundamental role in the spread of misinformation, but our understanding of trust in the context of maps is limited.In this paper, I examine the methodologies employed by empi…
Design Techniques for Covid-19 Story Maps
Story maps have emerged as a popular storytelling device in recent years with cartographers and journalists leveraging geospatial web technologies to create unique spatial narratives. However, empirical research analyzing the design of story maps remains limited. Two recently proposed design frameworks provide promising avenues to characterize story maps in terms of elements of vivid cartography and techniques of map-based storytelling. In this a…
Understanding neighborhood isolation through spatial interaction network analysis using location big data
Hidden biases of racial and socioeconomic preferences shape residential neighborhoods throughout the USA. Thereby, these preferences shape neighborhoods composed predominantly of a particular race or income class. However, the assessment of spatial extent and the degree of isolation outside the residential neighborhoods at large scale is challenging, which requires further investigation to understand and identify the magnitude and underlying geos…
