Producing Spatial Knowledge: Map Making in Edinburgh, c.1880–c.1920

Decision Map for Spatial Decision Making in Urban Planning

This paper introduces the concept of decision map and illustrates the way this concept can be used for spatial decision making in urban planning. The decision map is defined as an advanced version of conventional geographic maps which is enriched with preferential information

Map-centred exploratory approach to multiple criteria spatial decision making

Spatial decision support is one of the central functions ascribed to Geographical Information Systems (GIS). One of the foci of developing decision support capabilities of GIS has been the integration of maps with multiple criteria decision models. Progress in this area has been slow due to a limited role played by maps as decision support tools. In this paper we present new prototype spatial d...

A constructivist approach to wayfinding map studies: Construction of spatial knowledge in people-map-space interactions

A Unique Investigation of Knowledge Transfer Practices within the Muslim Business Community in Edinburgh

The aim of this research was to understand the dynamisms relating to knowledge transfer processes and practices, which exist within a business community in Edinburgh Scotland. The methodology used within this study was a uniquedesign methodology to include 20 in-depth interviews with participants from four local organizations. The sample group consisted of males aged between 20 and 70. The samp...

Large-Scale Map-Making

Current mapping algorithms using Consistent Pose Estimation (CPE) algorithms can successfully map areas of 10 square meters, using thousands of poses. However, the computation to construct the map grows as O(n log n), so larger maps get increasingly difficult to build. We present an abstraction method for postponing the growth in computation. This method solves a much smaller problem in the spa...
