Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La cartographie numérique et l'information géographique sont en constante évolution. Pour aborder ce phénomène et les concepts nouveaux qui en découlent, un certain nombre de définitions essentielles sont énoncées. La première partie permet de replacer les progrès de la cartographie dans un ensemble plus vaste, l'histoire des sciences et des techniques. Dans un passé plus récent, les débuts de l'informatique, puis de la cartographie automatique, sont décrits. La deuxième partie montre l'impact des différentes technologies actuelles sur la cartographie. Les capacités des differents ordinateurs et des périphériques d'entrée et de sortie sont exposées. Il est fait une place particulère aux logiciels de dessin assisté par ordinateur, de cartographie, de traitement d'images satellitaires, de systèmes d'information géographique et aux logiciels dérivés ou annexes, utiles à la réalisation de cartes. La troisième partie souligne les conséquences du développement de la cartographie numérique et de l'information géographique, sur la sémiologie graphique, sur les bases de données numériques et surtout sur les applications professionnelles. Les conséquences économiques et organisationnelles sont évoquées ainsi que le rôle actuel de l'état. La cartographie numérique et l'information géographique sont en plein développement et leur destin est étroitement lié aux progrès des outils informatiques, mais aussi aux recherches effectuées dans le domaine de la théorie cartographique.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’accès aux cartes numériques sur les réseaux s’accompagne de nouvelles manières de les créer et de les utiliser, qui nous invitent à nous interroger sur la définition même d’une cartographie. Cet ouvrage vise à caractériser la carte numérique en ligne par rapport à ses formes précédentes, à travers son ouverture à de nouvelles professions et de nouveaux publics, mais également en fonction des modes d’approvisionnement en données spécifiques au Web. Agrémenté d’un cas d’étude sur l’accident de la centrale nucléaire de Fukushima, il précise l’utilisation de cartes lors d’une situation de crise environnementale et informationnelle à travers la mobilisation d’un public en ligne. Cette analyse en deux temps révèle alors la nature hybride de la carte, à la croisée de la science et du politique.

Download or read book Cartographic Communication written by Boris Mericskay and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2024-02-06 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the geological record and the evolution of ideas concerning the Variscan orogenic belt in France and neighboring regions. Volume 1 is based on a general introduction concerning the imprint of the Variscan period on the geology of France, as well as on the particularities of the study of this ancient orogen. A history of the concepts applied to the Variscan belt is proposed in order to consider this orogen in the history of Earth Sciences. A paleogeodynamic analysis of the Variscan cycle sets the general framework for the evolution of the orogen, which is then tackled through the prism of the magmatic, metamorphic and tectonic record of the early phases (from Cambrian to Lower Carboniferous). Volume 2 proposes an analysis of the late evolution of the Variscan orogenic belt, reflecting its dismantling in a high-temperature context during the Upper Carboniferous and Permian. The sedimentary archives are described, as well as the questions raised by the specificities of this ancient orogen.
Download or read book The Politics of Mapping written by Bernard Debarbieux and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2022-05-20 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maps and mapping are fundamentally political. Whether they are authoritarian, hegemonic, participatory or critical, they are most often guided by the desire to have control over space, and always involve power relations. This book takes stock of the knowledge acquired and the debates conducted in the field of critical cartography over some thirty years. The Politics of Mapping includes analyses of recent semiological, social and technological innovations in the production and use of maps and, more generally, geographical information. The chapters are the work of specialists in the field, in the form of a thematic analysis, a theoretical essay, or a reflection on a professional, scientific or militant practice. From mapping issues for modern states to the digital and big data era, from maps produced by Indigenous peoples or migrant–advocacy organizations in Europe, the perspectives are both historical and contemporary.

This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le développement massif des pratiques d’agir avec et de vivre ensemble, instrumentées par les réseaux socionumériques, ainsi que l’usage abondant de l’expression « web social » et de ses dérivés peuvent être vus comme les indices d’une nouvelle étape de l’industrialisation numérique de la culture et du symbolique qui s’empare désormais du social. Afin d’en préciser les effets et les dynamiques, l’ouvrage propose une approche du social comme un construit en mouvement fait d’associations entre êtres (humains, techniques, symboliques, etc.). Il analyse les dispositifs socionumériques en tant que « machines d’écritures », puis il se penche sur des collectifs mus par des buts communs et articulés par des plateformes dédiées. En mettant ainsi en tension l’analyse des dispositifs et celle des pratiques, ce livre collectif dresse un tableau contrasté de la pharmacologie numérique du vivre ensemble.

Download or read book Les avatars jouables des mondes num riques Th ories terrains et t moignages de pratiques interactives written by AMATO Etienne Armand and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2013-09-01 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ces créatures d’images polymorphes que sont les avatars jouables nous font exister dans les mondes numériques des jeux vidéo, et même dans certains sites Web communautaires ou ludiques. Parce qu’elles nous y métamorphosent, elles apparaissent emblématiques des pratiques interactives les plus sophistiquées et troublantes. Toutefois, leurs propriétés et effets, espérés ou redoutés, restent encore à éclairer, ainsi que toutes ces interactions à distance réalisées par avatars interposés, au cœur des simulations audiovisuelles informatiques contemporaines. Ancré en sciences de l’information et de la communication, ce premier ouvrage collectif francophone sur le thème conceptualise l’avatar. Aussi, il bénéficie des apports conjugués de différentes disciplines (philosophie des techniques, psychologie, psychanalyse, sémiologie, ethnologie, sociologie, sciences de la gestion, arts). Par cette pluralité et grâce à de constants allers-retours entre théories et terrains, descriptions et analyses, hypothèses et témoignages, peuvent être articulées toutes les dimensions en jeu : technologiques, physiologiques, interpersonnelles, identitaires, intimes et/ou culturelles.

Download or read book Participatory Mapping written by Jean-Christophe Plantin and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-07-09 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended for applications of online digital mapping, called mashups (or composite application), and to analyze the mapping practices in online socio-technical controversies. The hypothesis put forward is that the ability to create an online map accompanies the formation of online audience and provides support for a position in a debate on the Web. The first part provides a study of the map: - a combination of map and statistical reason - crosses between map theories and CIS theories - recent developments in scanning the map, from Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to Web map. The second part is based on a corpus of twenty "mashup" maps, and offers a techno-semiotic analysis highlighting the "thickness of the mediation" they are in a process of communication on the Web. Map as a device to "make do" is thus replaced through these stages of creation, ranging from digital data in their viewing, before describing the construction of the map as a tool for visual evidence in public debates, and ending with an analysis of the delegation action against Internet users. The third section provides an analysis of these mapping practices in the case study of the controversy over nuclear radiation following the accident at the Fukushima plant on March 11, 2011. Techno-semiotic method applied to this corpus of radiation map is supplemented by an analysis of web graphs, derived from "digital methods" and graph theory, accompanying the analysis of the previous steps maps (creating Geiger data or retrieving files online), but also their movement, once maps are made.
Download or read book Cartographie written by Jean Steinberg and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La cartographie connaît, en ce tournant de siècle et de millénaire, une véritable révolution : les nouvelles techniques qui lui sont associées, télédétection et informatique, en sont largement responsables. Cependant les fondements de cette discipline n'ont guère été touchés par cette mutation : qu'il s'agisse des méthodes d'élaboration, de lecture et d'utilisation de la carte, de la saisie et du traitement des données qui entrent dans sa composition, les progrès enregistrés ont plutôt consisté en perfectionnements successifs. L'objectif de ce livre est de présenter ces différentes facettes de la cartographie, qu'elles soient traditionnelles ou novatrices, depuis l'historique jusqu'à la géomatique, en passant par les incontournables systèmes d'information géographique. L'utilisation ou la manipulation de divers types de documents donne un caractère pratique et opérationnel à la démarche.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report, produced between 1984 and 1987 in a bilingual edition (English and French), provides a wealth of information on a wide variety of cartographic applications which are being developed to make effective use of new data that is now being collected by Earth observation satellites. At a time when natural resource development and environmental problems have to be taken into account in their entirety, satellites provide an exceptional means of evaluating, synthesizing and creating geographic information. The production of new images, such as the Landsat Thematic Mapper, the SPOT High Resolution Visible Sensor and the adoption meteorological images such as AVHRR sensors on NOAA satellites, which have been extended to thematic domains such as agriculture and glaciology, have led to many new developments as well as problems for the cartographer. These problems are numerous and varied and recur frequently depending on the images and themes being processed e.g. how to select the graphic specification of maps and legends and account for classification accuracy; how to introduce the minimum of topographical data into an image in order to supply users with an adequate geographic reference; when using a physical terrain image, on which, by definition there are no `blanks' and where no details have been eliminated, how to overcome conceptual difficulties e.g. the side by side placing of different semiological information; the interpretation levels left to reader; achieving a balance between objectivity and readability. Obviously the cartographers role is of prime importance in solving these problems. In order to illustrate the way in which this information is presented, the report provides samples from 33 thematic applications taken from 13 different categories, including agriculture, town planning and water resources. Each application is provided with a descriptive note both in English and French indicating the objective, method and results obtained. This volume provides an important record of current developments in thematic mapping from satellite imagery and should be essential reference for all cartographers.
