ABSTRACT The size and complexity of spatial data in conservation science has been increasing dramatically as new tracking and monitoring technology has become more advanced and accessible. While the resulting high-resolution datasets have the potential to advance conservation science, new approaches in data management, analysis, and visualization are needed to realize time-sensitive on the-ground applications. Geovisual analytics (GVA) presents a novel approach to supporting interdisciplinary groups of conservation scientists, land managers, public and private stakeholders, and policymakers in thoughtful, timely, and data driven decision-making. The use of GVA in conservation science has emerged in the past decade, however its potential applications are under-explored and existing research is dispersed. Here we present a cross-disciplinary review of literature on the use of GVA in conservation science. Three key themes emerged: GVA as a decision support tool for land and wildlife management, movement analysis and/or monitoring of species and their potential threats, and GVA for tracking environmental condition and progress toward conservation goals. We then categorize existing GVA applications across both landscape and wildlife applications. We found that GVA has clear value in the conservation science community, however much work is left to be done to improve big data management and visualization.

ABSTRACT Augmented reality (AR) is a rapidly advancing technology that enhances users’ perception of the real world by overlaying virtual elements. The geospatial community has been gradually focusing on AR because of its ability to create immersive spatial experiences and facilitate spatial learning. However, designing effective AR interfaces poses several challenges, including managing information overload, providing intuitive user interaction, and optimizing system performance. The management of the Level of Detail (LoD) is a crucial part of an AR-enhanced cartographic representations as it can greatly impact the quantity, accuracy, and usefulness of the information being conveyed and enhance the readability and usability of an application. In this paper, we present a systematic review of published research on the management of LoD for AR cartographic representations based on various dimensions that focus on the types of data that are visualized, the techniques used, and the user actions that trigger LoD change. A corpus of fifteen scientific papers involving different LoD management techniques within AR environments have been analyzed. The limited number of papers implies that this kind of applications is in its infancy. The review provides a synthesis of existing knowledge and identifies challenges for future research in this exciting and dynamic field.

ABSTRACT With the rise of the Quantified-Self movement and widespread adoption of self tracking technologies, 'personal' has become a new dimension in the map and geovisualization design process. Despite a rich cartographic literature on how to map movement data, and an equally extensive geovisual analytics literature on how to make sense of complex visual representations of movement data at scale, opportunities exist to adapt and create new map and interaction design paradigms to meet the disparate needs of an ever-growing number of data creators. This paper presents a cross-disciplinary review of literature that reports on the design and evaluation of personal geovisualizations. Specifically, this review paper: contextualizes individual movement data types and provides a short synthesis of cartographic and geovisual analytics approaches that have been employed to explore such data in non-personal contexts; surveys a growing yet disconnected body of foundational work beyond the GIScience discipline; presents a detailed discussion on a collection of works that exemplifies the potential of applying a geographic perspective to personal visualization; and outlines key challenges and opportunities for advancing the state-of-the-art & science in the design of maps and geovisual analytics applications constructed from personal data and that benefit the data creator.

ABSTRACT This paper compiles guidelines for minimum dimensions of cartographic symbology from the literature on map design for printed and digital maps. Such minimum dimensions are relevant not only for the design of cartographic symbology, but also as fundamental parameters affecting the visual hierarchy of the overall map and the cartographic generalization of its elements. However, this review shows that only few studies have actually verified minimum dimensions in controlled empirical experiments, and most authors seem to have based their recommendations on anecdotal evidence or theoretical considerations only. Conclusions for a future research agenda in cartography, ranging from ethical questions to calls for empirical research on minimum dimensions, are drawn from the presented findings.

ABSTRACT Virtual indoor environments provide a unique combination of indoor cartography, virtual reality, and virtual locomotion. So far however, the indoor aspect of such an environment seems to be neglected even though it may affect how the locomotion of users is conducted as well as how this affects their spatial behaviour. To get an idea about the state of the research, systematic review of peer-reviewed articles mainly from the Scopus database was conducted in this paper. It aims to get a broad idea about the interest in research of virtual locomotion and to figure out what type of research in the indoor environment was conducted. Special interest was put on the types of locomotion techniques, their interaction aspects and research topics. These characteristics were analysed and compared to earlier systematic reviews in this topic. To accommodate the indoor-related themes, environmental aspects (size) and the motivation for using an indoor environment were also obtained from the relevant articles analysed. This way, the paper tries to provide a basis for further research in using indoor environments in virtual reality.

ABSTRACT This overview paper summarises the ‘state of the art and of the science’ of eye-tracking, and its applications in map use research. Cartographic research is introduced, and its contemporary direction, which indicates that the main areas of such research are now focussed on human beings and their interaction with maps and geospatial displays, is stressed. A brief outline of several different methodologies for map use research is presented: observation, thinking loud, keyboard analysis, eye-tracking, and questionnaires. The role of eye-tracking as a major methodology for use, user, and usability investigation is explored; along with the possible choices for the researcher in the important areas of participant selection, eye-tracking equipment, set-up and use of the testing environment, and analysis of output data. Typical outcomes from eye tracking research are considered, with an assessment of its value in cartographic research in general. Future directions are suggested, along with the need for cartography to promote the valuable work done by researchers using eye-tracking for map use studies to the wider human-computer interaction community, expanding the scope of the geospatial-based stimuli in such experiments beyond maps, making use of the significant expertise and enthusiasm of cartographic researchers.
