This book is the outcome of the work of contributors who
participated in the wo- shop "Mapping Different Geographies (MDG)"
in February 2010, held in Puchberg am Schneeberg, Austria. This
meeting brought together cartographers, artists and geoscientists
who research and practice in applications that focus on enhancing
o- to-one communication or develop and evaluate methodologies that
provide inno- tive methods for sharing information. The main
intention of the workshop was to investigate how 'different'
geographies are being mapped and the possibilities for developing
new theories and techniques for information design and transfer
based on place or location. So as to communicate these concepts it
was important to appreciate the many contrasting meanings of
'mapping' that were held by workshop participants. Also, the many
(and varied) viewpoints of what different geographies are, were
ela- rated upon and discussed. Therefore, as the focus on space and
time was embedded within everyone's felds of investigation, this
was addressed during the workshop. This resulted in very engaging
discourse, which, in some cases, exposed the restrictions that
certain approaches need to consider. For participants, this proved
to be most useful, as this allowed them to appreciate the limits
and restrictions of their own approach to understanding and
representing different geographies. As well, the workshop also was
most helpful as a vehicle for demonstrating the common ground of
interest held by the very diverse areas of endeavour that the
workshop participants work within.
