Exploring spatial distribution patterns and associate factors of urban traffic chaos using GPS trajectory and onboard image of vehicles
Map design from varying narrative standpoints: A case of Guizhou Jinxiu Project Map, China
The debates over the discourse of maps associated with narrative standpoints have been concerned with the cartographic realms. Unfortunately, rare efforts have been spared to make maps in this endeavor. This study takes Guizhou Jinxiu Project as a representative case to explore how narrative maps can be constructed from three distinct standpoints. Our analysis demonstrates that each narrative standpoint generates markedly different thematic conce…
‘A Pearl of Canal and A Paradise on Earth’ – The Suzhou City Branding Maps
Today, cities increasingly adopt branding strategies to stay competitive. Maps hold unique advantages in shaping and communicating city brands, as they offer a powerful means to present urban identity in a truthful, multidimensional, and holistic manner. Despite this potential, research and case studies on city branding map design remain scarce. To address this gap, this study presents a cartographic exploration of city branding map design for Su…
An improved multi-sources toponymic matching method by integrated encoding of textual and spatial features
Making a campus tourism e-map: The case of Wuhan University, China
Campus tourism has been flourishing across the globe in recent decades. Some universities pioneer the development of campus electronic maps (e-maps) so as to provide more efficient map-based services to visitors. However, existing campus e-maps, regarding the hierarchical ordering of elements and visualization strategies, generally adhere to the approaches designed for urban-scale e-maps, leading to the dilemma that the campus e-maps are limited …
Introducing cultural schema into heritage tourism map design: The case of ‘Suzhou Classical Gardens’ Narrative Map, China
Heritage tourism has been booming all around the world during the recent past. However, current heritage tourism maps have been locked into the traditional cartographic paradigms in standard formats and are thus incapable of exhibiting the local cultures and the stories behind them. To address this issue, this paper introduces the cultural schema theory into narrative cartographic design and proposes a novel theoretical framework for making herit…
Unlocking the nonlinear TOD-metro ridership relationship: A novel machine learning approach embedding spatiotemporal heterogeneity
Deciphering the evolving trajectories of China's megaregions from 1992 to 2020: A novel morphological approach based on global land cover products
Making a narrative tourism map: The case of Jiaxing’s ‘Red Boat Spirit Map’, China
Today, the marriage between cartographic language and narrative strategies has reshaped maps with the generative capability to represent the intangible historical characters and events involved in social memories following a narrative manner. Despite these advances, rather few efforts have been spared to unveil the potential of tourism maps in a narrative form. This paper seeks to rectify the gaps in this line of research by unfolding the underly…
TransMI: A transfer-learning method for generalized map information evaluation
Information Theory of Cartography plays an important role in guiding map design, generalization, and evaluation, and measurement of map information is the most basic topic of this theory. However, there are many problems in current measurement methods, and there is a long way to go to form a theoretically rigorous algorithm that can effectively depict spatial information and comprehensively consider the feeling of map readers. Luckily, we can now…
Unraveling the association between the urban polycentric structure and urban surface thermal environment in urbanizing China
An improved hidden Markov model-based map matching algorithm considering candidate point grouping and trajectory connectivity
The hidden Markov model-based map matching algorithm (HMM-MM) is an effective method for online vehicle navigation and offline trajectory position correction. Common HMM-MMs are susceptible to the influence of adjacent road segment endpoints and similar parallel roads, because the multi-index probability model may ignore some indexes when the probability of other indexes is high. This makes the map-matching result not meet the assumption that veh…

Spatial pattern analysis of address quality: A study on the impact of rapid urban expansion in China
Standard address data are essential geographical information that play an important role in urban management. However, due to the complex structures of Chinese addresses, poor address quality has long been a problem in China. Although several measures were established to improve the address quality, nonstandard address data are still common in new urban areas. To investigate the potential causes of the geographical disparities in address quality,…
Unraveling the impact of TOD on housing rental prices and implications on spatial planning: A comparative analysis of five Chinese megacities
Using Local Toponyms to Reconstruct the Historical River Networks in Hubei Province, China
As an important data source for historical geography research, toponyms reflect the human activities and natural landscapes within a certain area and time period. In this paper, a novel quantitative method of reconstructing historical river networks using toponyms with the characteristics of water and direction is proposed. It is suitable for the study area which possesses rich water resources. To reconstruct the historical shape of the river net…
A tourist map of Xi’an: Combining historical city characteristics with art
The design of tourist maps of historical cities sometimes fails to balance functionality and artistry or does not fully reflect cities’ cultural connotations. In this paper, we select Xi'an, China, as a study case and design a tourist map through a spatial narrative to reflect its artistic characteristics in the layout design, color design and symbol design. A few operational suggestions are proposed for improving functionality and artistry in to…
Transit-oriented development (TOD) typologies around metro station areas in urban China: A comparative analysis of five typical megacities for planning implications
Liver cancer mapping based on actual medical treatment choices
The allocation of medical resources is usually inappropriate in China because it is mainly based on the population of each administrative area. In real life, individual patients make choices based on numerous other factors, such as the quality of medical service, the service capacity of certain hospitals and their own income level. This study aims to reveal the differences between theoretical medical resource allocation and the actual medical tre…
Toponym mapping: A case for distribution of ethnic groups and landscape features in Guangdong, China
Toponyms serve as symbols of regional culture and thus reflect the history, habitat and environment of a place. This study aims to (1) visualize the distributions of the four ethnic groups and landscape features in Guangdong of China using a toponym mapping method, of which results were presented at 1:6,400,000 scale and (2) to explore the changes by comparing contemporary data, of which results were presented at 1:3,200,000 scale. These maps pro…
An analysis of spatial patterns of toponyms in Guangdong, China
The unique geographical environment and the historical waves of immigration of the northern Han Chinese to the Lingnan region have contributed to the development of a complex and unique culture in Guangdong Province. Four ancient ethnic groups, the Zhuang, Cantonese, Hoklo and Hakka, have resided in this area for centuries. As an important part of local culture, toponyms often survive changes in history and can reveal the temporal differences bet…
