Proportional Symbol Maps
Proportional symbol maps are a frequently used method of thematic cartography. Using an intuitive principle—the larger, the more—provides a simple and precise way of visualizing quantity in maps using geographic information systems (GIS). However, none of the current GIS software provides a proper map legend that could be used to interpret exact phenomenon quantity values from the map in reverse. Cartographers have been designing value scales man…
Development of the Jewish Settlement of Olomouc
This paper demonstrates how GIS-based maps and spatial analyses can effectively present complex research findings in Jewish Studies, particularly Jewish history. Using the map Development of the Jewish Settlement of Olomouc: Geographic and Socioeconomic Structure of the Jewish Population in the Period of 1180–2021, based on archival data and visualized through GIS, we show how spatial interpretation of historical data enhances understanding and a…
Exploring land suitability scenarios in Bratislava
For effective urban planning, land suitability analysis can be utilized to direct development toward the most appropriate areas. However, urban expansion must balance growth with spatial and legislative constraints. This study aims to evaluate these constraints within land suitability analysis for the city of Bratislava, focusing on Housing, Production and Storage, Civic Amenities, Leisure and Sport, and Urban Landscape Greenery.To achieve this, …
Influence of Covid-19 on night-time lights in Czechia
Night-Time Light (NTL) satellite imagery is widely recognized and valued as a powerful tool for spatial analysis and research. Despite its global popularity, there is absence of similar studies dealing with NTL intensity in Czechia. Using VIIRS/DNB data, our study focused on analyzing the changes in night-time light intensity before and during the coronavirus restrictions. These restrictions had a substantial impact on social and economic life, p…
Quality of life indices
The quality of life has been an attractive topic for several decades, and it has received attention in the scientific, political and public spheres. However, in a growing number of studies aimed at assessing the quality of life, inconsistencies persist in the definition, theoretical underpinnings and in approaches to assessing the quality of life. This study aims to compare the results of different methods of aggregating quality of life indicator…
Geoparticipation in the Czech municipalities
Participation is becoming not only a theoretical framework of EU and UN documents, but also a practical approach that many municipalities explore in order to build resilient, sustainable and smart cities. The paper presents a weighted Index of Geoparticipation for all municipalities in the Czech Republic (n = 6258). The index is an indicator-based value divided into three dimensions (communication, participation, transparency) that helps to evalu…
Two decades of ‘Brain Drain’ in Olomouc (Czechia)
This paper and accompanying map aim on the issue of brain drain (otherwise known as Human Capital Flight) concerning cultural and creative industries. The study is focused on the evaluation of Olomouc city, Czechia. In the case of a mid-sized city such as Olomouc, human capital flight is largely associated with cultural and creative fields, because it plays a significant part of the economy and character of the city. The ‘brain drain index’ of Cz…
Efficient Interactive Tactile Maps
Despite the growing efficiency of the map-design process in general, tactile mapping has remained peripheral to mainstream cartography. For a specific group of people with visual impairment, however, tactile maps are the only effective way to obtain a complex idea about the geospatial distribution of the surrounding world. As there are numerous specifics in creating these 3D maps and only a limited group of users, tactile products have usually be…
Developing Versatile Graphic Map Load Metrics
Graphic map load is a property of a map quantifying the amount of map content. It indicates the visual complexity of the map and helps cartographers to adapt maps and other geospatial visualizations to accomplish their purpose. Generally, map design needs to enable the user to quickly, comprehensively, and intuitively obtain the relevant spatial information from a map. Especially, this applies in cases like crisis management, immunology and milit…
