This book is the fruition of work from contributors to the Art and
Cartography: Cartography and Art symposium held in Vienna in
February 2008. This meeting brought together cartographers who were
interested in the design and aesthetics elements of cartography and
artists who use maps as the basis for their art or who incorporate
place and space in their expressions. The outcome of bringing
together these like minds culminated in a wonderful event, spanning
three evenings and two days in the Austrian capital. Papers, exhi-
tions and installations provided a forum for appreciating the
endeavors of artists and cartographers and their representations of
geography. As well as indulging in an expansive and expressive
occasion attendees were able to re? ect on their own work and
discuss similar elements in each other's work. It also allowed
cartographers and artists to discuss the potential for
collaboration in future research and development. To recognise the
signi? cance of this event, paper authors were invited to further
develop their work and contribute chapters to this book. We believe
that this book marks both a signi? cant occasion in Vienna and a
starting point for future collabo- tive efforts between artists and
cartographers. The editors would like to acknowledge the work of
Manuela Schmidt and Felix Ortag, who undertook the task of the
design and layout of the chapters.
This book complements the growing body of literature exploring the
relationships between arts and cartography . It is distinct from
the previous ones by its main focus: The multiple ways of
representing a database. In the context of the exponential increase
of the volume of geospatial data available, addressing this issue
becomes critical and has not yet received much attention.
Furthermore, the content of the database - environmental issues in
the city - gives a strong social and political texture to the
project. The expected audience for this book are academic as well
as students interested in the relationships between art and
cartography, place and technology, power and representations. This
book could serve as an inspiration for local groups and communities
dealing with environmental injustice all over the world. Finally,
at a local scale, this book could become a major reference for
individuals, communities and institutions interested in
environmental issues in the city of Montreal.
Multimedia Cartography provides a contemporary overview of the
issues related to multimedia cartography and the design and
production elements that are unique to this area of mapping. The
book has been written for professional cartographers interested in
moving into multimedia mapping, for cartographers already involved
in producing multimedia titles who wish to discover the approaches
that other practitioners in multimedia cartography have taken and
for students and academics in the mapping sciences and related
geographical fields wishing to update their knowledge about current
issues related to cartographic design and production. It provides a
new approach to cartography one based on the exploitation of the
many rich media components and avant-garde approach that multimedia
offers."
This book provides for the first time a general overview of
research activities related to location and map-based services.
These activities have emerged over the last years, especially
around issues of positioning, spatial modelling, cartographic
communication as well as in the fields of ubiquitious cartography,
geo-pervasive services, user-centered modelling and geo-wiki
activities. The innovative and contemporary character of these
topics has lead to a great variety of interdisciplinary
contributions, from academia to business, from computer science to
geodesy. Topics cover an enormous range with heterogenous
relationships to the main book issues. Whilst contemporary
cartography aims at looking at new and efficient ways for
communicating spatial information the development and availability
of technologies like mobile networking, mobile devices or
short-range sensors lead to interesting new possibilities for
achieving this aim. By trying to make use of available
technologies, cartography and a variety of related disciplines look
specifically at user-centered and conte- aware system development,
as well as new forms of supporting wayfinding and navigation
systems. Contributions are provided in five main sections and they
cover all of these aspects and give a picture of the new and
expanding field of Location Based Services and TeleCartography.

Michael Batty Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, University
College London Landscapes, like cities, cut across disciplines and
professions. This makes it especially difficult to provide an
overall sense of how landscapes should be studied and researched.
Ecology, aesthetics, economy and sociology combine with physiognomy
and deep physical structure to confuse our - derstanding and the
way we should react to the problems and potentials of landscapes.
Nowhere are these dilemmas and paradoxes so clearly highlighted as
in Australia - where landscapes dominate and their relationship to
cities is so fragile, yet so important to the sustainability of an
entire nation, if not planet. This book presents a unique
collection and synthesis of many of these perspectives - perhaps it
could only be produced in a land urb- ised in the tiniest of
pockets, and yet so daunting with respect to the way non-populated
landscapes dwarf its cities. Many travel to Australia to its cities
and never see the landscapes - but it is these that give the
country its power and imagery. It is the landscapes that so impress
on us the need to consider how our intervention, through activities
ranging from resource exploitation and settled agriculture to
climate change, poses one of the greatest crises facing the modern
world. In this sense, Australia and its landscape provide a mirror
through which we can glimpse the extent to which our intervention
in the world threatens its very existence.
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.
This book collects revised versions of papers first delivered at
the "Understanding Different Geographies Symposium" held in
Puchberg am Schneeberg, Austria in 2011. The Symposium focussed on
"Communicating Meaning with [Geo]Graphic Artefacts". The general
topics of the chapters cover: - Exploring geographic knowledge -
Maps in exhibition spaces - Information and exhibition design with
(geo)graphic artefacts - Extracting meaning from visualisations of
different geographies - Deconstructing maps of information - and
other spaces
