: Flow maps represent data over time that connect different locations. A cartographic representation for different vehicle’s flows with color hue variation, ideally, could be well succeed for users having Normal Color Vision (NCV) or having Color Vision Deficiency (CVD). The scientific research about reading flow maps by people having NCV or CVD is not clearly established, mainly when considering the perceptual properties present in the static and dynamic visual variables. This work aims to evaluate and compare the usability (effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction) of static and dynamic flow maps reading which were represented by using ordered hues, with 10 people having CVD and with 10 people having NCV. An area located in the city of Presidente Prudente, state of São Paulo, was selected to design eight static maps and eight dynamic maps at 1:5,000 scale. In an experiment conducted in laboratory, the participant’s tasks were select and draw routes between origin and destination places shown on maps. The maps were displayed individually in a tablet with a size of 7 inches, and each task lasted up to 30 seconds. The results showed that the efficacy was similar between the NCV and CVD participants when they were using static or dynamic maps. Higher efficiency was found with the use of dynamic maps among participants having NCV, and higher efficiency was found with the use of static maps among participants having CVD. Additionally, dynamic maps showed a higher level of satisfaction than static maps for groups of NCV and CVD. Different kinds of static and dynamic visual variables can be considered as matter of investigation for future research to represent flow of vehicle in the cities, especially for CVD.

: In this article, we present a framework to collect and represent people’s emotions, considering the urban mobility context of Curitiba. As a procedure, we have interviewed individuals during an intermodal challenge. The participants have described their experiences of urban mobility while using different transport modes. We have we used emojis as graphic symbols representing emotional data, once it is a modern language widely incorporated in everyday life as well as evokes a natural emotional association with the data we collected. We built an online geoinformation solution for visualising the emotional phenomenon. As a result, we found that the proposed methodology captures environmental factors as well as specific urban features triggering positive and negative/neutral emotions. Therefore, we validated the methodology of collaborative emotional mapping through volunteered geographic information, collecting and representing emotions on maps through emojis. Thus, here we argue this is a valid way to represent emotions and incorporate a modern language to maps. Based on the results and broader literature, we affirm this is a valuable alternative to increase knowledge about cities, once mapping emotions could assist urban planners in identifying variables, generating positive and negative feelings over the city space, which drives urban planning within a citizen-centred perspective.

The use of OBIA for high spatial resolution image classification can be divided in two main steps, the first being segmentation and the second regarding the labeling of the objects in accordance with a particular set of features and a classifier. Decision trees are often used to represent human knowledge in the latter. The issue falls in how to select a smaller amount of features from a feature space with spatial, spectral and textural variables to describe the classes of interest, which engenders the matter of choosing the best or more convenient feature selection (FS) method. In this work, an approach for FS within a decision tree was introduced using a single perceptron and the Backpropagation algorithm. Three alternatives were compared: single, double and multiple inputs, using a sequential backward search (SBS). Test regions were used to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed methods. Results showed that it is possible to use a single perceptron in each node, with an overall accuracy (OA) between 77.6% and 77.9%. Only SBS reached an OA larger than 88%. Thus, the quality of the proposed solution depends on the number of input features.

This paper evaluates the data quality of road axes using the OpenStreetMap (OSM) collaborative mapping platform. OSM was chosen owing to the abundance of data and registered contributors (~ 6 million). We assumed the OSM collaborative data could complement the reference mappings by its quality parameters. We used the cartographic quality indicators of positional accuracy, thematic accuracy, and completeness to validate vector files from OSM. We analyzed the positional accuracy of linear features and we developed the automation of the positional accuracy process. The tool verified the completeness of road axes and thematic accuracy. The positional accuracy of linear features was also used, performed to obtain a range of scales, which reflected the characteristics of mapped areas and varied from 1:22,500 to 1:25,000. The completeness of road axes was 82% of the checked areas. By evaluating the thematic accuracy, we found that the absence of road axes toponymy in editions caused errors in the OSM features (i.e., 58% of road axes without information). As such, we concluded that collaborative data complements the reference cartography by measuring the heterogeneity of information in various regions and filtering the OSM data, despite its being useful for certain analyses.

Freshwater monitoring globally is fundamental to support decision-making. However, long-term hydrological data for some regions are lacking due to limited of observational networks. Remote sensing products come to aggregate the in situ observations and overcome obstacles about data availability. This study assesses the hydrological mass losses in the Northeast Atlantic Eastern Hydrographic Region (NAEHR) in Brazil through temporal data sources. GRACE RL06 Mascon solutions, reservoirs volume, vegetation index and rainfall stations are used. The results confirm the cohesion between the TWS variations with water volume and NDVI, obtaining a strong correlation of 0.78 and 0.77 respectively. The Standardized Precipitation Index scales (12, 24 and 36 months) showed a moderate and strong correlation with the TWS of 0.57, 0.73 and 0.72 respectively and identified the last regional severe drought from 2012 to 2017. The NEAHR is located almost entirely in the Brazilian semiarid region, comprises about 24 million inhabitants, it is high vulnerable to drought, thus justifying the importance of monitoring its water resources availability.
