Abstract By accelerating the overcoming of space on certain relations, transport systems alter the accessibility of places and distort geographical time–space. Particularly in the case of discontinuous and tiered transport systems such as (high-speed) rail networks, effects on time–space can be highly selective and difficult to visualise. This paper compares different methods of operationalisation and visualisation of the effects of new transport systems (infrastructures and services) on time–space, and examines their strengths and weaknesses, using the example of the evolution of the German rail network between 1990 and 2020. The methods are well-known ones such as isochrones, choropleths using measures from network theory, anamorphosis (cartograms) and less-known ones as spring maps and the shrivelling model. For the examination of the readability of the methods, we present relevant properties for time–space maps. The results suggest that conventional methods are simpler to interpret, but fail to convey certain properties, while less frequently used methods may be better at incorporating the properties at the cost of being more difficult to read.

Abstract Besides representation of their place names in public space (in the linguistic landscape) on town signs, road signs, public buildings, etc., finding their names also on topographic maps, notably official topographic maps, is very important for autochthonous linguistic minorities residing in a place already for many generations. They regard this as recognizing their presence and their share in the place. It also means supporting their emotional ties to the place and is, thus, also in the interest of the majority since it strengthens the minority’s loyalty to the majority and their common political entity. Based on Ferjan Ormeling’s seminal work (Ormeling in Minority Toponyms on Maps. The Rendering of Linguistic Minority Toponyms on Topographic Maps of Western Europe (= Utrechtse geografische studies, 30). Utrecht, 1983), later literature and the author’s (together with Přemysl Mácha et al.) recent comparative study of southern Carinthia (Austria) and the Těšín/Cieszyn region (Czechia) (Jordan et al. 2021), the paper endeavors to substantiate that the following are criteria of an adequate minority place-name representation on topographic maps: Share of minority place names in local use represented on the map Consistency of minority place-name representation across feature categories Consistency of minority place-name representation across map scales Visual representation of minority in relation to majority place names
